Seduced by Magic 
asked by hooked on November 25, 2006 1:09 AM
Copper Ashcroft is an accomplished D’Anu witch, but the magic she wields is a potent force—strong enough to hurl her into a mysterious Otherworld when a spell backfires. Before Copper can escape, another being is pulled into her realm—Tiernan, a powerfully virile Tuatha D’Danann warrior. Blond, blue-eyed, and shamelessly seductive, Tiernan could be Copper’s savior…and his touch sets her body on fire.
Like others of his kind, Tiernan stands alongside the D’Anu witches to battle the demons of the Underworld. Obligation to his cause and his people cautions against any entanglement with Copper, yet each second spent with this beautiful, uninhibited woman stirs an insatiable hunger. Desire explodes into carnal bliss, but the visions that haunt Copper’s dreams are growing stronger, and they foretell a terrifying evil waiting to be unleashed…
Saving the city will take more than brute strength…more than witchcraft. Only together can Copper and Tiernan find a way to overcome the dark forces—and seize a passion that has bewitched them both.

The D'Anu witch, Copper Ashcroft, has been missing and her sister, Silver, has searched everywhere for her. Everywhere, that is, except for the Otherworld where Copper accidentally sent herself when a spell against the evil Darkwolf backfired. Tiernan, one of the Tuatha D'Danann, has been assisting in the search. Despite being betrothed to another, Tiernan is fascinated by Copper, and this fascination grows once he meets her face-to-face. Will Copper, Tiernan, Silver, and the rest of the exiled D'Anu witches along with the Tuatha D'Danann be able to stop Darkwolf from resurrecting the sinister Balor?
SEDUCED BY MAGIC is the superb follow up to FORBIDDEN MAGIC and this sequel far exceeds the first book in the series. However, this reviewer strongly recommends reading FORBIDDEN MAGIC first as Cheyenne McCray focuses a great deal of attention on the world building in the first book. SEDUCED BY MAGIC can be read as a stand alone novel, but the full complexity of her phenomenal world will not be wholly seen in just reading this story.
Copper Ashcroft is a strong heroine and Tiernan is the perfect complement to her. Their sizzling attraction is very explicit and sensitive readers should be cautioned that there are several very graphic scenes involving Darkwolf as well. These scenes are appropriate in context, however, as the malevolence of Darkwolf is even more apparent and his diabolical wishes for Silver are obvious through the revelations of these scenes. The passion between Copper and Tiernan counterbalances Darkwolf's evil couplings, as it demonstrates the true beauty of love and shows the side of the light against the backdrop of evil.
SEDUCED BY MAGIC is a book you will not want to put down. Cheyenne McCray does a splendid job at combining action, the paranormal and humor in a sensual story that leaves the reader anxiously awaiting the next installment in this splendid series. Copper's familiar, Zephyr, practically steals the show as just the thought of a bee in the role of a familiar is simply hysterical. Zephyr manages to convey so many things with nary a word of dialogue. SEDUCED BY MAGIC is a must read for fans of the paranormal!

SEDUCED BY MAGIC is a wild, bouncing blend of magic, fun, passion, and steam. The renegade D'Anu coven created in FORBIDDEN MAGIC faces more challenge and more danger as new races are revealed and brought into play: spunky little faeries, sexy dark elves, and evil, wicked creatures unleashed from the depths of their earthy prison.
We learn more about the D'Danann social structure and the toll it takes on hero Tiernan as he tries to choose between duty and love. We meet and come to love Silver's long-missing sister Copper, who must face her own fears and failures to triumph, keep the love of her life, and find her way home.
I love the humor in this book, particularly Copper's familiar and the stinging vengeance he exacts on Tiernan whenever the big, arrogant warrior hurts Copper's feelings. I also liked meeting Chey's version of the Drow, always fascinating in any story. The love scenes are hot--gotta love that, too.
Erotic romance at its best and most fun!

Fae, witches, magic, sensuality, great characters and superb writing make Seduced by Magic a must read by Cheyenne McCray.
As a long-time fan of this author, I always look forward to each of her releases and this one did not disappoint. The characters bring this story to life, the writing seduce a reader and we're swept away into out-of-this-world adventure. The plot is quick, an adrenaline rush, and the author keeps the reader enthralled. Though a stand alone title, it's a suggestion to readers to pick up a copy of Forbidden Magic, the prequel to Seduced by Magic. The series would read better together, though not mandatory, but reading them together, a reader gets double-McCray and better enjoyment.
Charismatic and exciting characters, passion, exceptional world building and transfixing imagery, pick up Seduced by Magic ASAP.
This reader, and continued fan, wasn't disappointed, others shouldn't be either. Bravo once again, Ms. McCray.
