| Lisa McDonald thinks Josh Evans is everything a Prince Charming should be. To Lisa he's perfection in a suit. But he was planning to marry another woman, Serene Ridgemont, a gold-digger. Lisa has wanted Josh for a long time, but Lisa thinks Josh is way out of her league. That is, until the day her Fairy Godmother shows up on the scene, wearing yellow knee socks and white sneakers, a most unusual person. After that Lisa's life turns into her own Cinderella story.
Josh Evans is a very rich, very successful, very handsome man. On top of that, he really cares about people. Josh wasn't a snob; he contributes to several charities, like Habitat for Humanity. He's perfect! But Josh wants love, real love. He just found out that his soon-to-be wife wasn't what he thought. Josh had seen Lisa and liked what he saw. Then he heard some very racy things about her. But Lisa stays in the back of his mind. Lucienda isn't your ordinary Fairy Godmother. She's a rather large, feisty African-American woman, and Lisa was her next assignment. Lucienda knew things that Josh and Lisa couldn't know. Like what the future holds and if Lisa follows all the rules, all her dreams will come true, with a little help from her Fairy Godmother. With Lucienda's magic, Lisa finds herself in Aruba, honeymooning with Josh. Lisa has five days to make Josh fall in love with her. She must consummate the marriage by midnight on the fifth night or everything goes back the way it was. Josh would still be engaged to Serene, and Lisa would be alone. Only Lisa is a virgin and has been saving herself for true love. Will Josh fall in love with Lisa before the stroke of midnight? How will she keep from having sex with a man who thinks he's her husband? Kelly McDonough is a woman who still believes in fairytales and she can definitely write some of her own. Ms. McDonough's book, Love's Magic Spell, is a beautifully written story of a modern day Cinderella, with a delightful twist. You will fall in love yourself when you read the outstanding romance in this story. Lisa makes a perfect Cinderella and Josh is everything a woman could want in Prince Charming. But if you think that's all there is to this tale, think again. Serene is a greedy, lying witch, and plans to turn all Lisa's dreams into pumpkins. She makes the wicked stepsisters look like cream puffs. Will she be the end for Lisa and Josh? Will Serene win the day or will Lucienda and all her Fairy Godmother's powers be able to pull another rabbit out of her hat? This is a very tender and romantic love story. I give Love's Magic Spell Five Hearts and recommend it highly. Enjoy!
