Because I had received a copy for free I jumped right in to The Magic Between Us without reading the first two books in the series. I did have some initial confusion on the world building, faeries in historical London, but I felt that Tammy Falkner did a good job of introducing the reader to what she had created. For years Marcus and Cecelia dreamed of the life that they shared but when Marcus’s circumstances changed and he had to assume his position in his family in London he had to leave Cecelia behind. Heartbroken she stayed away from him for six months until a request from Marcus’s grandmother brings them together again. Marcus has come to realize the mistake he made in saying goodbye to Cecelia but she is not ready to forgive and her life has changed since they last met. As Marcus performs a spectacular hero grovel, Cecelia slowly opens herself up to a chance to the one man she’s always loved. Good read but I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the first two books in the Faerie series.

The romance between these two were different in away. They did not struggle as much, but they still struggled some. The thing is that they were in love from page one, they had been since childhood but then...drama!
The book is a part of a series but you can still read it as a standalone. Marcus found out about his parents in the human world and his father want him to take over the title. So there is where we are. Marcus wants to show his parents he loves them so he leaves Faerie and Cecilia behind. Big mistake, why leave the love of your life!? Oh Marcus. No wonder Cecilia is pissed when she comes to England on a mission. The rest of the book he tries to win her back. There is also another plot which shows why Cecilia can't marry him and that was a more emotional plot.
I liked Marcus and Cecilia, they clearly belonged together. They just both had to find a way to be together as they lived in different worlds.
Lots of passion promised.

"Cecelia Hewitt was not happy when Marcus Thorne left her. In fact, she was completely heartbroken. Now, six months later, they are reunited in the human world, but fae politics, family troubles, and sheer stubbornness may keep them apart forever."

I'm sorry, I really tried to like and enjoy this novel but by about 60% of the way through I got to annoyed with the main characters' ways of non-communication with each other and gave up in reading it.
