5 Angels!
FAR Recommended Read!
 "Lani Aames has penned a new and refreshing twist on pixies and faeries by waging a war between the two. Must Be Magic is a definite must read...
"Enchanted Rogues is a delightful anthology filled to the brim with mischief and mayhem, hot love scenes and romantic endings. And let’s not forget magic! The stories had me captivated, each and every one of them... Although it was centered around St. Patrick’s Day, this is one anthology that can be savored year round."

5 Cupids!
"Myghal is a heart-stopper -- he is caring, compassionate, and sensual. Despite all that he has to contend with he gives Kerry the choice to be with him and accept him and his life. Kerry is like most women -- she is a hard worker trying to establish a successful business at the expense of her personal life. Unlike the other stories in this anthology this story does not have comic elements -- it is a love story with an interesting plot. You cannot help but enjoy the characters and their quick to spark relationship. The erotic scenes are sensual and have a wonderful little surprise when the two make love."

"All three stories in this anthology will leave any reader gasping for more and wondering
when her Prince Charming will come along to sweep her off her feet. I found all of these
stories exhilarating, awe inspiring and just plain downright sensual. These rogues may

"...story that touched a magical element in my feelings for the characters. Kerry has to battle a few of her inner-demons to help Myghal and crosses a mental bridge that she wouldn’t have been able to without his love. This realistic approach to inner demons endeared me to Kerry, making me feel she has great substance. ... I look forward to reading more work by this talented author."

Three times as satisfied!
"Ireland is full of legends, myths and fables of fairies, pixies and dozens of others. All of them come alive in this well-written anthology. Read it anytime, not just for Saint Paddy's. You'll be craving a four-leaf clover and a pint of ale in no time. But unlike the ale, Enchanted Rogues won't add any calories to your diet and you'll be three times as satisfied."

Filled with erotic action!
"Each of the three stories within Enchanted Rogues is imaginative and filled with erotic action. The authors’ contribution’s to this anthology was in keeping with the title as the male leads were definitely 'Enchanted Rogues'. They were able to sweep their heroines off their feet and transport them to another realm where they will live happily ever after! Enchanted Rogues will catapult the reader into a world where faeries, leprechauns and pixies exist, and where love is still the most powerful magic of all."
—Susan Tam for The Road To Romance

From horny Leprechauns to pixie magic, these three premier authors deliver a wild Irish ride in the game of love! ... This anthology is a wonderful way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. This reviewer is highly recommending this great anthology to those who enjoy a little Irish magic with their stories and who knows -- maybe a little Irish magic will rub on to you this St. Patrick’s day!"

"Must Be Magic is heartwarmingly sweet. Aames pens a sensual and erotic fantasy, bringing life to old fairytales. Myghal is the prince everyone woman dreams of; Kerry's innocence and kindness makes you long for her to have a happy ending. What makes this story even more enchanting is the realization of what Pixie Dust really is. *grins* I'm not telling, you'll have to read it for yourself.
"Enchanted Rogues is another wonderful, unforgettable themed anthology from the award-winning Ellora's Cave. It combines great stories and gifted authors. Not to be missed."

Scorching fantasies!
"This trilogy is a cross between every girl's dreams and every mother's nightmare. It features three hot hunks with scorching fantasies on their minds.
"Aames' 'Must Be Magic' is highly entertaining, with a pixie king who uses spelled crystals to find his ladylove. Kerry doesn't have time for a man, but Prince Myghal is more than a man--he's her other half. Once they become intimate, Kerry wonders how long it will be before Myghal moves on. The addition of trolls, gnomes and levitation while making love makes this last tale a keeper."
—Faith V. Smith for Romantic Times

About Must Be Magic:
Can the Prince of Pixieland save his princedom from the greedy Faerie King? Only if he marries by the next
Equinox. A desperate spell takes him out of danger and to his Heart Match...who just happens to be a mortal woman!
Cast into the Other Realm—the human world—on St. Patrick's Day, Prince Myghal pursues Kerry O'Neill
with physical pleasures beyond her wildest dreams. He has only three days to convince her they
were meant to be together. But before he has a chance to tell Kerry, the Faerie King's agents kidnap him.
Can Kerry believe the man she mistook for a Leprechaun, has fantastic sex with, and is falling hard for is the Prince
of Pixies? Kerry has to accept it because she has to brave the tunnels of the Troll who lives under the
bridge across the street to save Myghal...and she's known all along their incredible connection must be magic.
Excerpt from Must Be Magic:
©Lani Aames
All rights reserved.
Kerry O'Neill bumped into the Leprechaun when she turned around from
hanging the latest sale price sign. He caught her before she fell,
his strong hands on her shoulders, and she clutched his arms to
regain her balance. Her eyes swept over him. She'd seen any number
of Leprechaun costumes since the first of March, but this one was
the worst yet. Aside from his eyes, which were the color of tender
spring shoots flecked with gold, he wasn't wearing a speck of green.
He wore brown leather half-boots, tan leggings, and a maroon tunic
laced over a billowy sleeved shirt cinched in with a brown belt. His
long ash-blond hair fell in thick waves below his shoulders, random
strands in tiny braids decorated with beads and feathers. He
reminded Kerry of the elf in the Lord of the Rings movies, except
that his rugged face, height, and breadth was more than any elf
could ever hope for.
"Are you all right?" He spoke with a slight English accent in a deep
resonant baritone.
"Fine, thanks." Kerry found her balance, removed her hands, and
backed away, shrugging off his hold on her. There was something
familiar about his touch, as if she belonged in his arms and he
belonged in hers. But she was certain she'd never seen him before in
her life.
"You're at the wrong place," she told him, kneeling to replace the
hammer in her tool box that sat on the ground. "The Leprechaun
costume contest is across the street at Sir Plantsalot."
His gaze followed hers to the medieval themed garden nursery on the
other side of the thoroughfare. The false front was shaped and
painted like a castle complete with a turret at each end. The
entrance and exit driveways were drawbridges over the drainage
ditch "moat". Strands of colorful pennants ran from the tops of the
turrets to the ground. Larger pennants fluttered in the breeze from
poles in the cone-shaped tower roofs.
"I'm not a--" he began.
But Kerry didn't care what he was or wasn't. She slammed the tool
box shut, drowning out whatever he was saying. "They stole my idea.
Somehow, they caught wind of the Leprechaun costume contest I was
planning for St. Patrick's Day, and they stole it."
Kerry picked up the tool box and brushed past him, once again all
too aware of his physical presence. She couldn't understand her
reaction, why her body was responding to him as if they were lovers.
Shaking her head, she pushed through the gate that led to the lawn
and garden ornaments. The tool shed was in the back. When she
reached it, she opened the door, but the darkness within was like a
black abyss just waiting to swallow her up and crush her. She
flipped the switch a couple of times, but no flare of light filled
the small shed. The damn light bulb had blown again. Sweat broke out
on her upper lip, and she set the tool box just inside the
threshold, pushing it farther in with her foot. Shutting the door,
she turned around--only to collide with the Leprechaun again.
Once more she found herself in his embrace, and her body immediately
switched from an unnatural fear to a natural arousal. Her heart
raced and blood pounded through her. She didn't know why she was
having such a disturbing physical reaction to him. Her hormones
didn't normally go off the chart over every good-looking man she
encountered.
Maybe because it had been too long since she'd been with a man, but
she didn't have time to deal with it. Ever since Sir Plantsalot
moved in across the street six months ago, with its extravagant
display and double the area of her own nursery, she'd been
concentrating on trying to keep the business afloat. But it had been
an uphill battle. She extricated herself from his arms.
"I told you, the contest is over there." She backed away from him
with a toss of her head, then looked him up and down again. "Tell
you the truth, I don't think you have a very good chance of winning.
You don't look like a Leprechaun. You're not wearing green."
"But I'm not--"
Kerry didn't wait to hear his response. She strode off toward the
greenhouse. She had too much work to do without getting involved
with a badly dressed Leprechaun...no matter how attracted to him she
was.
*****
"...a Leprechaun," Myghal finished to empty air.
He frowned as he watched her hurry down the path toward the
transparent building filled with all kinds of plants. He'd never
considered his Heart Match could possibly be in the Other Realm, the
dimension where humans lived. It'd been a long time since he'd
walked among humans. Their world was too noisy and flashy, their air
too dirty. They were always rushing, yet they seemed to accomplish
little.
And how was he supposed to carry a human woman back into Pixieland
in the Faerie Realm when he was out of dust and wasn't sure he could
get back himself?
But he found his gaze drawn to the way her hips swayed in the tight
blue leggings she wore. No, they were called jeans, he suddenly
remembered. He liked everything about her, from her red-gold hair to
her crystal blue eyes to the sprinkling of freckles across her
upturned nose. Twice, she had slammed into him, and twice, her
generous breasts had pressed against his chest. He'd seen the
nipples tighten under the form-fitting shirt she wore--T-shirt, it
was called.
A dull ache began in his balls as his cock responded to...her. He
didn't even know her name.
