Blurb for AN ENCHANTED
SPRING:
Nancy
Scanlon continues the time-bending saga she began with THE WINTER LAIRD,
pulling heroes and villains alike through the portals of time to help save
their futures and find their truest loves.
A twist of
fate has left Aidan MacWilliam, younger brother of a medieval Irish laird,
trapped in the future. Though he’s become a successful entrepreneur in the
twenty-first century, Aidan still can’t banish thoughts of the world he left
behind. In search of distraction, he heads to New York to scout a publicity
manager for his cousin’s matchmaking firm, Celtic Connections.
Emmaline
Perkins is the perfect candidate. A PR expert and closet medievalist, Emma has
always put work before her social life. When her ex-fiancé resurfaces and
threatens her livelihood, her home, and ultimately her safety, a new client
proposes an offer she can’t refuse – a job, travel, and security.
As they
fall for each other, Emma struggles to keep her professional and personal lives
separate, and Aidan’s determined to meld them together. When it’s clear Emma’s
ex will stop at nothing to claim her, Aidan realizes that the question is not
where she’ll be safe, but when…

Emma
Perkins’s world seems to be constantly in turmoil lately between competition at
work, her love life in shambles, and worry that her ex-fiancé will get out of
jail and follow through on his threats to come after her, it just seems easier
to fall into a bottle of wine than deal. Add trying to land a new account more
important to her boss than any other featuring a sexy, handsome man with more money
than God and her world is definitely out of control. When she’s fired, her
apartment trashed, and her bank account cleaned out, it’s the handsome
billionaire who comes to her rescue, only she isn’t the type to be rescued…or
so she thought.
Aidan
MacWilliam disappeared from 13th C. Ireland to find himself in a
modern world instead…but he has adapted and made do, and made do very well. He is
now a man of property and wealth, but still he yearns to return to his home and his
family in his proper time. When Colin O’Rourke asks him to go to New York City
to inquire about a publicist he has in mind to help Celtic Connections expand,
Aidan agrees because he hopes, in turn, she might assist him in obtaining his
sword which is coming up at auction in NYC too. When he meets Emma Perkins, he
knows there is more to meeting her than planned. When he discovers her in
danger, it’s only natural for him to extend his protection to the woman fated
to be his.
Nancy
has created a wonderful cast of characters in her Mists of Fate series, of
which we love to meet up with again, and again, but Aidan MacWilliam was my favorite
from the beginning and I was not disappointed in how Nancy turned him into a
first-class hero/gentleman/laird/Irish warrior. Emma is a strong-willed force
of her own and a perfect match for the charming, and willful Irish knight in
shining armor from the 13th century.
AN
ENCHANTED SPRING, book two in the Mists of Fate series by Nancy Scanlon is a wonderful
story filled with excitement, danger, a bit of suspense, and although, it is far
more a G-rating than I usually go for in regards to sex, I actually didn’t miss it. The
sexual tension blooming between Emma and Aidan is enough to blow the pages
right out of the book and yet, they never actually consummate their
relationship within the bindings. I love it. Aidan is one hot man and justifiably
listed among my all-time favorite book boyfriends now. I started falling in love
with him in THE WINTER LAIRD, but it didn’t take long to fall under the power
of his charms in AN ENCHANTED SPRING.
A wonderful, and delightful story, with clever and teasing banter among Aidan and the guys - Colin, Reilly, and
Cian - and Emma is a perfect addition to the Mists of Fate family. I highly
recommend AN ENCHANTED SPRING by Nancy Scanlon to everyone who enjoys falling
love among the pages of a sterling romance with hints of the supernatural akin
to Outlander with a bevy of hot Irish Jamie Frasers in the character list. I wish I could tell you more about the
happenings but I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone…these are stories to be
experienced without spoilers. So if you haven’t read the first, do so and then
read, and enjoy AN ENCHANTED SPRING. You won’t be disappointed. I expect even
better things to come in the Mists of Fate series. Nancy is fast growing into a wonderful storyteller.
Happy
Reading Everyone!
