My Review:

Performance.... 5 star
Story... 5 star

Whoa, what an amazing, amazing book. Stacy and Leo...omg, they just broke my heart. There is so much incredible emotion in this book. Bravo, to Lucy March...you ROCKED the writing on this one!

Ten years ago, Stacy and Leo were completely and totally in love. Then he blew it. He got drunk and slept with someone else and ruined everything for both of them. When he told Stacy, she blew up. He left and decided to become a priest and never came back. Well now Stacy's brother, who just also happens to be best friends with Leo, is getting married to one of Stacy's best friends and Leo is back for the wedding...and NOT a priest. Stacy is devastated on so many fronts, but she still has her pride and is determined to never let him see it.

When Leo left, it devastated Stacy and she changed...and not necessarily for the better. She acted out and made choices. When those choices came out in the story, I literally was bawling. She has hurt so freaking much and works so hard so that no one ever sees it. She's tough and strong and just not the person you would think has all these incredible vulnerabilities. Seriously, I just wanted to curl up with her and give her a huge hug. And once she allowed Leo to see...bawling again. And the best thing about all that was how the author wrote it. If it had been up to Stacy, Leo would have never truly seen her pain and hurt, but she was willing to reveal that to help others. On the surface she's this selfish, shallow girl, but it's ALL just a ruse. Seriously, she's one of the most kind-hearted people willing to do WHATEVER it takes to save others who simply don't deserve anything...certainly not her sacrifice when they've been so awful to her.

And then there's Leo...he's so obviously still in love with her and so confused by why she won't even consider them anymore. He just doesn't get it and when he finally does, I fell in love with him. Throughout the entire book, little pieces of my heart broke off from page to page. I can't think of too many books where I was so emotionally shattered throughout the entire book for two characters.

But at the same time, the book is fun and entertaining. I loved the magic element and how that all played into the story. Although I will admit, I wanted to kick Nick, Stacy's brother, towards the end of the book. How could he turn on Stacy like that? Another example of just how strong she's had to be despite EVERYONE in her life that should be supporting and helping her.

This book was amazing. I enjoyed book #1 in this series and thought it was good, but this book so far surpassed that one. Seriously, so good!!! It absolutely works as a stand-alone and I HIGHLY recommend you read or listen to it.

The audiobook is fabulous. I've listened to a lot of Amanda Ronconi's narrations before, but she reached new levels of perfection in this one. Every single emotion and character is so easily identifiable from her inflections and accents. I don't think I would have gotten near the enjoyment out of the book reading it as I did listening to it just because she injected so much emotion into the characters' voices. It was just an incredible audiobook!!!

That Touch of Magic Nodaway Falls Lucy March Books Reviews

Nodaway Falls, book 2. I love following these characters.
This is not usually the kind of book I read. Actually the only other magic-y books I have read are by Lucy March/Lani Diane Rich. Anyway I thought it was really good. Started out a little repetitive...yeah I know you miss Leo. Then it got going and was better. Lovely ending. Read her Lani books too they are great
Excellent book two, I hope it's an ongoing series. The author reminds me of Molly Harper of whom books I love, it was great to have this while I wait for Molly's next book. I would highly recommend Lucy March's books.
...from Luch March! Stacy's story is charming and absorbing and makes me want to live in a small town where everyone has everyone else's back. No one weaves a spell like Lucy March and I was completely caught in it! If you don't believe in magic or in the power of love, you certainly will after you read That Touch of Magic. Fun and touching and every bit as wonderful as A Little Night Magic. Thanks, Lucy March, for another great read!
Touch of Magic is a true page turner and on par with what I have come to expect from Lucy March and her alter ego Lani Diane Rich. The characters are smart, charismatic, and real. The sarcastic heroine, Stacy, is a lovable but flawed character that makes her interesting and easy to relate to. At first glance she is the town harlot, but it soon becomes clear she is caring almost to a fault and is only protecting herself from her crazy Mom and a ten year old broken heart. Leo is a strong romantic hero that was as well written, complicated, and interesting as the heroine. Often with books in the romance genre I want to smack the hero across the head for his stupidity, but with Leo I was always wanting to give him a hug. Even the antagonist made me feel sorry for him at times. March is able to write emotion and humor better than any other women’s lit author I’ve come across. Hardly a page goes by where I’m not laughing, crying, or both.
Enjoyable magical read. Similar to the Molly Harper books, and, if you're listening to it on Audible, both are narrated by Amanda Ronconi (who does a great job), which makes them seem even more similar. I discovered Molly Harper first, but I've got to say that Lucy March is even better. Lucy offers nice little insights into life (pop psychology) which give her books greater depth and meaning, though they are fun and light reads. I like the way Stacy dealt with conflict, at least part of the time "He kept up with the eye contact, and I knew that looking away was losing, but I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to win whatever the prize was at the other end of the staring contest, so I turned and started down the gravel garden path..." And her reflection on herself, "Deep in the back of my head, I heard the old me saying, "It's too good to be true, don't count on this, it won't work, but I shushed her. She was stupid. She was the reason things never worked, and I wasn't going to let her ruin my life. Not anymore."

I love the way that the magic is, indeed, magic, but it's not all powerful. Quoting Stacy from the book, describing one of her potions, "It just creates a... I don't know what they call it. A glamour, I guess, that makes everyone see you the way you see yourself.", rather than actually changing you.

Looking forward to the next one!
