Kissed by Magic by Erica Ridley

4.0

I'm such a sucker for fantasy romance, but I often come stuck when the author goes overboard in either area at the expense of the other. This struck a marvellous balance, even more impressive given that it's novella length and it's hard to do romance well when pages are limited.

I really enjoyed the setup, Lance and his adventuring ways ending up in a cursed magic castle, and the relationship with Marigold was beautifully drawn, as was her plight and how she dealt with being a lonely prisoner for 600 years because phew, she handled it much better than I would have.

I needed some fun and this fit the bill perfectly, looking forward to reading more by Erica Ridley.
