Loved It! a Fun read.
Arian has always wanted to be able to do magic and she is finally succeeding, only to be put on trial in Purtain Massachusetts. Only she finds herself hurled into the future 300 yrs. Where she meets an executive and soon there is a new kinda of magic cookin up.
Tristan is an executive that has created some amazing computer chips. But there is something in his past that still haunts him.
Could Arian hold the secret?
I liked the characters even if it was a bit on the "perfect" side.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! This is the first book where we meet Tristan Lennox and the puritan Arian who lands in his (modern-day) time. If you enjoyed this one you will also enjoy the sequel - Touch of Enchantment - where the Lennox tale continues.

Boy millionaire Tristan Lennox, a pagan satyr in a $2000 suit, throws an annual magic contest in Manhattan to try to trace his former partner, who stole a magic computer program named Warlock and disappeared into the ether. Smack into the middle of his special event, riding her willow broom, flies Arian Whitewood, a 17th-century witchlet from Massachusetts, who rubbed her emerald amulet and conjured herself away from the mob of Puritans who were trying to drown her. Arian, petite and fiery, has to contend with the new magic of the 20th century; and Tristan has to learn to trust again, as is the vogue. Medeiros is unrelievedly cute as she shuttles her characters back and forth across the centuries. It's a fairy tale wherein Prince Charming carries condoms.

An exquisite enchantress lost in time. Arian whitewood hadn't quite got the hang of the powerful amulet she'd inheritated from her mother, but she never expected it to whisk her more than three hundred years into the future. Flying unsteadily on her broomstick, she suddenly finds herself among towers of glass and metal, then tumbling from the sky to land at the feet of a man whose frost-grey eyes and a seemingly flint-hard heart.
A skeptical tycoon out of his element.
Reclusive billionaire Tristan lennox didn't belive in magic, but he had his own reasons for offering one million dollars to anyone who could prove it existed. Now he finds himself besieged by fakes, frauds, and an old nemesis ready to leap on this opportunity to destroy him. But the smoky-voiced beauty who appeared to fall from the clouds into his climate-controlled existence is something else entirely- a woman able to enchant his lonely heart with wonder,but who can't possibly be what she seems...

Teresa Medeiros is always a creative author and this in another excellent outing for her. A good read if you enjoy a bit of time travel and/or the supernatural with your romance.

An enchantress from the 17th century collides with a furture beyon her imagining. I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book

Diane B. (craftylady1957) reviewed on 11/22/2009...


This book is a roller-coaster of emotions and plenty of adventure. Definitely interesting and there wasn't once when I was sure of what was going to happen. A must read!

Keri (JaneAustenFan) reviewed on 10/12/2009...


I liked this book overall. I loved the fact that she went FORWARD into the future instead of the past like most time travel books do.

I didn't like the fact that she seemed to adapt pretty well to things in the future. I did love her reaction to seeing a horse for the first time--that was great.

All in all, I did like the book and if there is another in the series, I will read it. :)

Magic, time travel and romance. All that and humor. It was a cure story, different from what I usually read and I enoyed it. I like this author.

Jen B. reviewed on 9/8/2009...


A cute, nice read but not one of her best works.

Ashley M. reviewed on 5/1/2008...


I liked this book simply because Tristan is a computer nerd at heart. He reminds me of my husband in that sense.

Arian Whitewood lives in 1689 Massachusetts and practices witchcraft. She hasn't quite gotten used to the powerful amulet she'd inherited from her mother.She didn't expect it to whisk her more than three hundred years into the future. Flying unsteadily from her broomstick, she tumbles from the sky into the arms of reclusive billionaire Tristan Lennox.

from Amazon...
In BREATH OF MAGIC, the hero is Tristan, a genius (and gorgeous) boy millionaire living the life in Manhattan. So what if he's something of a recluse? So what if he is obsessed with magic - to the point of risking his personal and professional reputation? So what if his heart is as cold as his icy eyes? Tristan is determined never to be hurt by anyone, even though he is the loneliest of souls.

Enter Arian, a 17th century Puritan witch (white witch, of course). Escaping an angry mob determined to drown her, Arian literally flies in on a broomstick and crash lands on Tristan's doorstep in the 1990s - in the middle of a press conference! What is it about this wacky, lovely witch that finally melts Tristan's heart?

I enjoyed this book. For a time-travel romance, it is pretty refreshing to have the guy be the modern-day hero and the girl be the fantasy lover from a different time and place. Also, Arian's curiosity with the modern world is fun. I loved how she practically flooded the building with her fascination over the "chamber pot."
