I read Again the Magic many years ago and didn't remember a thing about it. With this re-read I know why I originally rated it 2 stars - the misunderstanding is one of the stupidest I've ever read.

Aline, trying to protect McKenna, tells him she doesn't want him anymore and he goes away heartbroken. 12 years ...more

Great book! I read it straight through. Ms Kleypas has a way of getting you so emotionally involved it is almost like you are there in the moment. I truly felt the anguish in both hero and heroine. I teared up on several occasions and downright cried at the end. By the time I closed this book I was an emotional wreck. I liked that there was no mysterious villain or side plot. It was just the story between these two people. And a sweet side love story with heroine's sister and the hero's business

McKenna is a delicious self-made hero. He wants to devastate Aline Marsden for playing him when they were young, but his revenge is a double-edged sword. (view spoiler) ...more

This was the first book I've read by Lisa Kleypas and I thought I'd really like it but I was very disappointed. I had a really hard time getting into the book and almost gave up on it several times. The only thing that kept me reading it is that I've heard that the Wallflowers series is one of the best and I was told that this story came first.
The thing I didn't like about this book was the lack of communication. I can't stand it when the entire conflict between the hero and heroine is their ina ...more
