Product Description
Leave it to number-one bestselling author Nora Roberts to spin a tale that blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy, modern-day mishaps and ancient curses, obsession and undying passion. She'll have you cheering for love to win the day as a man and woman discover just how deep their bond lies-and how some dreams are meant to be.
Spellbound follows world-famous photographer Calin Farrell on his much-needed vacation in Ireland. While there, Calin becomes bewitched by the ravishingly beautiful Bryna Torrence, even if he refuses to believe in the spell that has brought them together-and could destroy them both.

 Timeless, magical--don't get me started October 15, 2005

If you, like me, are a fan of Ms. Roberts, and I imagine you are, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this, then you can rest assured she delivers with this gem of a tale.
I may be a man, and not just a man, but a manly man, but even I like to snuggle with a Nora Roberts novel in my flannel PJs in front of a cozy fire wrapped up in my afghan sipping chamomile tea. Many a time I recall having finished a Nora Roberts novel, closing the book and then my eyes, lost in the dreamy reverie of the novel's romantic spell, savoring that sweet moment and sighing with both satisfaction and unfulfillable longing. Then I go outside and chop wood.
Calin Farrell, the protagonist of "Spellbound", is also a manly man, as well as being Irish. He returns to his enchanted emerald homeland, weary of the demands of the world, and finds the ravishing Bryna Torrence. What looks to be a straightforward magical romance becomes truly magical when we discover ancient secrets and curses which tempt both destiny and fate and leave us wondering in the power of dreams and an undying love. I could go on, but I would not deny the reader the rapture of discovering for him-/herself the harrowing and thrilling twists that will leave you, dare I say it, spellbound.

I didn't realize when I bought this book that it had been included in a book I had read in 1998. It was a short story in the book "Once Upon a Castle" by Nora Roberts. If the description had mentioned this I wouldn't have purchased the book again. It is a wonderful story though and good reading.

ALL OF THESE BOOKS OF NORA ROBERT'S UNLESS IT SAYS ON THE FRONT--ARE OLD WHEN SHE WAS NOT AS PROLIFIC AS SHE IS TODAY. AS FAR AS THE STORIES GO, THEY ARE FINE, BUT I ORDERED 4---YES I SAID 4--IT HAD BEEN SO LONG SINCE I HAD READ THEM, FORGOT I ALREADY HAD; THEY--PUBLISHERS PUT NEW COVERS ON AND THIS IS A SORE POINT WITH ME--THEN I BUY THEM. I WILL NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE AGAIN, I WILL NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM AMAZON IN THE BOOK CATEGORY UNLESS I KNOW IT IS NEW. REGARDS,DH
 Too short to tell October 16, 2005

This is a sweet, short love story, a thousand years old. A true Nora Roberts tale of Ireland, witches, and history. I enjoyed the tale, but found it to be very "thin". The story could well have been one great novel instead of 94 pages.
 Should have stayed in the compilation January 29, 2006

I don't think this story was strong enoughto stand alone. It's typical Roberts fare - witchy woman, unbelieving man, Destiny, and totally bad dude.
It was done Much better in the three sisters trilogy. And those lasted longer than a sneeze.
