When Herman Anderson
leaves home to make a better life for herself, she doesn’t expect to meet a
tall, dark stranger with whom she’ll fall hopelessly in love. Charming and
mysterious, Stephen Dagmar is a stage magician seeking an assistant. The moment

Victorian mansion where they embark upon an extravagant romance. Yet a shadow
hangs over their love. Will the curse on his family end Stephen and Herman’s
happily ever after, before it really begins? Amidst lace and leather, innocence

Dagmaru. Magic and romance await.

The Magician’s Curse pulled me in right away as we are introduced to Herman and how her world suddenly changes when she decides to leave home. A chance meeting with Stephen offers her a new life but is she making the right decision. The premise is really intriguing what with magic, romance and a curse all mixed into the story. Bits of information was revealed that made me eager to discover the whole story. I really enjoyed the magic aspect as it's always interested me so it was great to see this detail in the book.
The length of the story was just about right and ends up setting things up nicely for the next book. I found the pacing pretty good and it didn't take me too long to read at all. It wasn't necessarily what I was expecting when I first picked the book up however I still enjoyed it and I'm intrigued as to what will happen next in book two!
There is mystery, magic and a touch of romance that made for an entertaining story!
