Summary: Great book....
Review: i liked The Magic of You, but there are a few things i didn't care for. For one the age difference is 18 years .Now thats great and everything, but personally if someone in the relasionship could possibly be your parent, that's too big of a diff.Another reason would be is when Amy said straight out to Warren she wanted him. That's great! For once there was a woman in a historical novel who wasn't shy and quiet in the cases of things in the bedroom,most blush at anything the guy said. Amy was tough but cause she was only 17 going on to 18, she was a little naive.
Anyways, those are my thoughts, and Joanna Lindsey is a fantastic writer. I recommend all of her books, especially the Malory novels! Ahh*tear* :( i think i have read all them! I hope she writes a story for Drew Anderson- Georgina's brother! :)!!

Summary: Just Average...
Review: Amy Malory has set her sights on Warren Anderson, an American ship captain who almost had her uncle hung for piracy. Warren tries to avoid her and fight his growing attraction. She chases him relentlessly. They end up being kidnapped, and held captive on a ship together, to voyage across an ocean. She continues to pursue, and he continues to resist her advances until finally, he gives in (of course).It's been awhile since I've read this, and I haven't read any of the other Malory series books. Compared to other romance novels I've read, this is far from the best. I've read a couple of Lindsey's books, but I haven't found anything special about them, and have since quit reading her work. The story started out pretty good, then they were kidnapped and put on the ship. It just felt like the story took this odd, unexpected, and not so great, turn of events. Once Warren finally gives in to Amy's advances, (and we did have to wait a long time), the lack of description was a letdown. On the positive side, I did like Amy being the aggressor and the humor was pretty good. Bottom line: the book was just average, and unless you're a Lindsey fan, I'd skip it.

Summary: Amy and Warren are the perfect hero and heroine
Review: Amy Malory is just as spirited and determined as her brothers. So when she sets her sights on Warren Anderson, she vows he will be hers. But, this turns out to be almost more thatn even Amy could help. Because Warren was hurt in the past so badly, he trusts no woman, loves no woman, save his sister, Georgina. So, spirited Amy sets out to show Warren what true love can do to save the heart and soul. This is a sweet book, and one of my favorite Malory books.

Summary: My fav Johanna`s book!!
Review: First of all I have to say that I always knew that Johanna will write a book about Warren, since I read `Gentle Rouge`. I was sooo charmed by Georgina`s refractory brother, really))
So, War (as I call him, because of his famous `terrible temper`)) was so brave but still pitifull with his hope to dissuade Amy with her plans to seduce him, ah huh))
And, yes - Amy is one of my fav Johanna`s female characters, as War with male. They are both so obstinate, so `desperado` if you know what I mean))

Summary: 4th book in the Malory Series
Review: First off, here is the series in sequence: 1. Love Only Once 2. Tender Rebel 3. Gentle Rogue 4. The Magic of You 5. Say You Love Me 6. The Present: The Malory Holiday Novel Even in the first book of the series, Love Only Once, Amy was described as a dreamer, aggressive and strong willed. She speaks her mind and shows her heart. So if you like woman who are the seducer in the book then this one is for you. As for me, I normally prefer the man being the seducer while the woman are innocent and naive, however, in this circumstances, I wasn't offended by the way Amy reached out to Warren. Ms. J.L. wrote it well and it wasn't disgusting or degrading to woman. Warren had a dark past that made him hard and distant to love so it is understandable that Amy should be the one to reach out to his hard heart and try to make it soft again. The Malory family conflicts, bickering & arguements is once again an add on spice to the book. I have notice that all books in this Malory series (except for the first one) contains lots of repetitive informations. There were times I had to skip parts wherein a Malory or two will start discussing the story or happenings of the previous books, sorta like a short summarization for those who have not read it. For readers like me who have read the series in sequence, It's kindda useless info. and i won't lose anything to skip it... At first, this style of writing didn't seem to bother me but when I got to the third book of the series, the summarization of the first two books was getting to me. Imagine my restlessness when i was reading the 4th and the 5th book! I skipped more parts then cuz I didn't need to read the summary of the 3-4 previous books which i already know about. Whew! I say it would have been better for Ms. J.L. to leave readers some thrill to pick up each book and read each story for themselves.

Summary: A must read if you love the Mallory's
Review: I did not agree with the people who rated this book as a bore. I have this book, in fact I have read the enitre series many times and have loved each every one. Warren Anerson, a typical male character for a romance novel, was inhanced for the fact that he had James and Tony to match his wits against. I liked the caustic remarks and wit that was displayed from these 3 characters and found the book to be very entertaining. I liked that Amy mallory wasn't your typical lie back and allow the man to seduce her heroine but a woman who knew her mind, heart and soul. She didn't wait for things to come to her in their own good time but went after them. she enrgetic, lively and in my humble opnion quite 3 dimensional charater. Not 1 dimensional. I do happen to agree with another persons review that JL explained the other books too much. it does tend to grate on the nerves and she would be better off to not explain every situation time and again. This is why I rated the book 4 stars instead of five. But all in all a good read and great characters and I am like all the rest, impatiently waiting for the next Mallory/Anderson novel.

Summary: The Magic of J.L.
Review: I have been a HUGE fan of Johanna Lindsey's for about a decade. I absolutely LOVE the Mallory series. While I enjoyed all the books in the series, I have to say that I enjoyed "The Magic of You" & "Love Only Once" the best. I really enjoyed seeing the story of Amy & Warren unravel. I also liked the fact that Nicolas Eden wasnt the only nephew in-law that brought out the sarcastic banter in my 2 favorite Mallory boys (Tony & James). I can only hope that Ms.Lindsey will continue to grace us with more tales of the Mallory (& Anderson) Clan. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, that she will grant us the stories of Jeremy Mallory & Drew Anderson (& any of the others). I highly recommend any of the Mallory series.

Summary: BUY THIS BOOK! IT'S A KEEPER!
Review: I have been a loyal Johanna Lindsey fan for over 15 years. I'll admit that I have liked some of her books more than others,but I have never disliked any of her stories or her characters. I am always amazed when I think about the fact that she has been writing for over 20 years. I have read all of her books and I have never seen similarities in her plots or her stories. They are all unique.I am an avid reader and I like a lot of authors,but Johanna Lindsey stays my all time favorite because of her ability to keep her stories fresh. Regarding this story I thought it was wonderful to see the female do the chasing. Amy Malory acted true to form as far as I was concerned. She acted as the male Malory's had when they decided they wanted someone. She was bold and very charming as James and Tony were without being crass or trashy. I loved it! I thought it was wonderful that unlike other family members that had had to have shot gun weddings, Amy refused to settle for anything less than true love and full commitment. I respect other peoples opinions,but I really don't understand why some people were so upset by a women that went after what she wanted. It was great in the sense that I think that the author was trying to show that even though Warren was twice Amy's age she was mature enough to handle him. Johanna, please keep up the great work! I am one of your greatest fans!

Summary: Another great Malory!!!
Review: I have to admit that I took a little while to start this book, because the idea of a woman shamelessly chasing after a man is not what I have in mind when I think of a good romance. Well, shame on me!! This book was great because of that, not in spite of!! The way that Amy wears down Warren is great!! I love the scene on the boat during the storm!! Ooooohhhh, what a man! If only we could have men like that in real life, I would be one happy woman!!
