Summary: Good book, don't miss this one 5 stars
Review: Castle Magic is three stories that take place in one castle in Scotland and three women who lived there in different centuries. I was enchanted by the holy well and the fact that the castle curse was a good one, not a bad. Each author has written a wonderful, romantic story, each one different but equally good. I love history and Scotland is a favorite setting. I bought a second copy so I could lend the first one to a friend. I absolutely would buy all three authors again. Romantic Magic.

Summary: A disappointment
Review: I bought this book because Hannah Howell's name was on it,and since this was the first story that I have read from Ms. Frence I thought that I'd give it a try. I was VERY disappointed.To give a one word summery of Ms.Frence's story it would have to be "STUPID".I find new authors to read by buying "theme" books with a favorite author on it.If this is the writing style for Ms.French, I'll save my money,Thank you very much.

Summary: Accurate, moving and well written. Could hardly put it down
Review: I have never been one to read romance novels. I tend to find them sing songy and the writing mediocre at best. Castle Magic was not only accurate in the obvious research that went into it, but it was also beautiful and created loving imagery to the reader. Personally, I cannot see why this only rated 1 star in your poll. Clearly your readers that have polled so far prefer the suger coated and ridiculous ramblings of the average trash novel. Perhaps Ms. Howell should consider expanding her talents into a market where the average reader is a bit more educated and demanding of quality. - H.Bannon

Summary: Three great stories in one book!
Review: I just finished reading Castle Magic. I bought it because I love Scotland books and this one certainly didn't disappoint me. All three stories were very different from the usual romance and I liked the way each one took place in the same castle, just in different centuries.The women were different in personality, yet in the end, the magic well changed all their lives. I won't be loaning this book to friends-- they'll have to buy their own!

Summary: This novel is pure magic!
Review: My heart was touched by the wonderful characters in all three of these luscious stories. After reading Castle Magic, I yearn to visit Scotland. The rich Scottish culture permeates the pages of this book. Buy it! Read it! You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Loved it!
Review: Three stories about one special castle, Castle Cnocanduin. The castle had been built around a well considered to hold magical powers. As long as the well holds water, the mistress or mistress-to-be of the castle shall be protected. All she need do is wish, take a drink, and believe.

The first story is set in 1385, by Hannah Howell. The second is set in 1550, by Judith E. French. The third is set in 1725, by Colleen Faulkner. Each story is remarkable. I closed each with a smile on my face.

I highly recommend this book. I consider it Romance Extraordinaire!

Summary: Scotland is a magical place.
Review: Two years ago, my daughter Colleen Faulkner and I rented a car and drove through the Highlands of Scotland visiting castles and lochs and other ancient sites. Some of our ancestors came from Scotland, and it has been a place I wanted to visit all my life. It is difficult to explain the friendliness of the Scottish people after so many centuries of hardship. They welcomed us with open arms. We wandered through 12th century churchyards, pre-Christian standing stones, earthen forts, and gracious houses. I will always remember the sun coming up over Kildrummy Castle, high in the Grampian mountains. Later, when we climbed the fallen walls of this magnificent structure, the sound of bagpipes drifted up from the valley floor, transporting us back to the time when the hall echoed with music and laughter. Our friend Hannah has visited Scotland many times. Her husband is a Scot and she has friends and relatives there. Truly, writing the romantic story of Castle Cnocanduin was a homecoming for all three of us. I only hope it will give the reader a hint of the beauty of this wonderful country that gave so much to America. Sincerely, Judith E. French
