Back Cover:

Although she has no memories before the quake that destroyed the kingdom of Augury, Cypher McCall holds a steadfast hatred of the repressive Cauldian regime now ruling the country.  Because her magical gifts are deemed subversive, she does her best to avoid detection.  Unfortunately for Cypher, however, she’s too beautiful to ignore. After a Cauldian contingent arrives in her hometown, a chance encounter leaves her repulsed by the arrogant Prince Ewan and attracted to his distant cousin, Lord Joss.

When she learns Prince Ewan plans to tear down the ruins of nearby Castle Augur, Cypher vows to stop him.  Although handsome Lord Joss tries to protect her from his vindictive cousin, Cypher can’t bring herself to trust the enemy.  At the same time, nightmares and dreams nudge her toward reclaiming childhood memories.  She stumbles on a silver key that she hopes will unlock her past, but first she must confront a long repressed horror at the Castle Augur ruins.

Can Cypher evade Prince Ewan long enough to recover her memories? Is Lord Joss all that he seems or is his charm a ruse to ensnare the unwary? Finally, will the knowledge of her true identity tear Cypher apart or empower her to restore everything she ever loved?

Excerpt:

As she stared into his handsome face, Cypher was glad her heightened color hid the blush that crept over her cheekbones.

“I’m so sorry,” she said. “I wasn’t looking where I was going.”

“I’m rather glad you weren’t.”

The man gave her a crooked grin, and Cypher’s breath caught in her throat. After he loosened his grip on her arms, she took a step back. Tall and well built, the man wore a smart suit with a splendid brocade vest and a gray bowler hat. She’d only ever seen clothes like that in newspaper illustrations. Cypher suddenly wished her loose-fitting school uniform were more flattering. The man tipped his hat and bowed.

“Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lord Joss.”

A delicious shiver ran up and down Cypher’s spine. Just then a haughty voice rent the air. “Caught yourself a local have you, Joss?”

A dark-haired man appeared, clad in a splendid blue Cauldian military uniform, a royal sash, and a sneer. As he approached, several soldiers clustered nearby, their hands on the hilts of their swords. Cypher cast a nervous glance back at her friends, but they’d disappeared.

“Not at all, Prince Ewan,” Joss said. “I was in the young lady’s way.”

The prince’s gaze strayed from Cypher’s beautiful features to travel down her body. By the time his eyes returned to her face, the man wore an appreciative smirk. “What do they call you?”

She flicked a glance at Joss. He gave her a tiny nod.

“Cypher McCall…Your Highness.”

“McCall? You must belong to that tavern down the street. A barmaid, then.”

Cypher bristled, but Joss offered her his arm. “We’ve kept the lady from her business far too long, Ewan. I’ll escort her to her destination, and then we can resume our business.”

“Make haste. I find the delights of Plentiful are wearing thin,” the prince said.

OUR READERS REVIEWS:

Elixir is fantasy at its best. Katie Caroll draws us into her world with ease, her well-polished writing style and flow holding us captive until the end. I especially liked the relationship between Katora and her sister Kylene, obviously drawn from real life. I can't wait to read the sequel.

GOODREADS READER REVIEW


 

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this very charming and witty book to read on the skytrain. But I have to say it was kind of embarrassing. I couldn't stop giggling out loud at Maggie Lyon's humour. People kept looking at me, and I tried my hardest to hold in the laughter, but it was impossible. What a delightful story! What child wouldn't love this. It's a story for 6-10 year olds. It's a great book to read to your children when they're young or by themselves when they're older. If your child likes Geronimo Stilton, they'll fall in love with Dewie the little dragon and his friend Jones the toad. I hope Maggie Lyons will turn this into a series.

-Goodreads Reader Review


 

Joy Smith pulled me into the story on the very first pages. Fast moving, first I hated Victor, than I love him, than I hated until I loved him. And Marisol with her guarded heart had me hoping throughout that she'd open it again to love.

I loved her descriptions. They created such visuals, I felt I was traveling and discovering Colombia with Victor.

Ms. Smith writes believable, flawed characters that I wound up cheering and caring for on each page. I can't wait to read her next book. Goodreads Reader Review - Five Stars


 

"...murder, mystery and intrigue..plus did I mention our hero is a witch? Tex and his best friend Olivia are brilliant characters, really well written and I love tex's dad. Can't wait to read more about tex in the future! -Amazon Reader Review


 

I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot of this novel. From Annabelle putting her life in danger when running away from Boarding School where she has lived since the age of five to her tenacious pursuit in finding clues as to her origins.

She is rescued by Roland, who is too much of a gentleman not to help the intriguing young lady. I relished the suspense of the reciprocal desire between Roland and Belle which is thwarted by misunderstanding after misunderstanding and prevents them achieving mutual fulfilment. The reader yearns for the truth to replace the false pretences and for Roland and Belle to overcome each other's prejudices.
Rosemary Morris' major and minor characters spring to life. I sympathised with Annabelle and found Roland charming. Apart from this, Rosemary's great attention to every aspect of the Regency era is impressive.

False Pretences is a ripping read and I look forward to reading this author's next novel. - F.Way- Amazon Review
