The Marquis and the Magician's Assistant

by Shanae Johnson

When a marquis agrees to produce a female magician's solo show, the two discover the feelings developing between them are no illusion. The trick will be on them when the sparks start to fly! Magician's assistant Lark Voorheen is tired of seeing someone else in the spotlight. She'd rather jump inside the hat with the rabbit than have another wannabe wizard take credit for her hard work and ingenuity. Ready to finally take the wand in her own hand, she's lucky to find a wealthy marquis eager to back her show. After years of witnessing the lack of respect given to female magicians, she's determined that no one thinks she got her shot by lying on her back. But that will be a hard sell when her producer is a handsome, rich nobleman such as Omar, the Marquis of Navarre.
As a successful entertainment producer with a golden touch, Omar al Sharif has been used by talentless women stepping on his heart on their way up the ladder of success. But when he helps Lark take center stage, his attempts to freeze his growing feelings melt under the force of her star power.
Unable to deny their intense attraction, they agree to hide their relationship from prying eyes. Neither would be taken seriously if word of their affair got out. Lark's dream will die if she loses credibility, and while Omar doesn't fear for his business, losing the love of his life would cut him in two.
Can they pull off their biggest misdirection yet and convince the world they're not together? Find out if love will reign in this light-hearted, sweet romance of royal engagements. The Marquis and the Magician's Assistant is the fourth in a series of royal romances that are beyond the common tale!

About the author

Shanae Johnson was raised by Saturday Morning cartoons and Afterschool Specials. She still doesn’t understand why there isn’t a life lesson that ties the issues of the day together just before bedtime. While she’s still waiting for the meaning of it all, she writes stories to try and figure it all out.

And by the way, the E elongates the A. So it’s pronounced Shan-aaaaaaaa. Perfect for a hero to call out across the moors, or up to a balcony. If you hear him calling her name, please send him her way!

Loved the twists and turns of true love

This is an inspiring book about true love and the many twists And turns it takes. Loved the characters through this series that anyone can fall in love

[Michaela (Reading in the Heartland)]

This book had all the great characters of the previous three books but it was shorter and more cliche. The mains quickly give in and everything pretty much follows an easy path. I enjoyed it but not near as much as the first three books in this series.

No magic like love magic

Spoiler alert! Has an abrupt ending that seem to need a little bit more of something! The rest is fine as Lark goes about being a great magician
