Book of the Day: Cruel Enchantment

The winner of yesterday’s book is Junegirl63., who said, “This is a tough question! I like the fact that we do get all four seasons where I currently live but I hate the summers here because they are so hot and muggy! I think my ideal place to live in the US would be either the southern parts of Virginia or the northern parts of North Carolina…lol.” Congrats! Please drop me an email! Anyabast (at) gmail.com.

Today’s book……

Even the most powerful hands need a delicate touch…

Emmaline Gallagher is a master of wielding personal glamour. As a free fae who lives among humans, she must hide her true self at all times as she works undercover within the powerful Phaendir—for if certain factions within the Phaendir gain control, the fae will be wiped from existence. Now, an object of fae power lies within a locked ancient box. And there is only one fae who can forge the key.

Known as “the Blacksmith” Aeric O’Malley can create or destroy almost anything with his forging skills. Emmaline has come to him in need, but he and Emmaline have a past—and he has spent centuries wanting to take revenge on her for her transgressions. But now that he has her within his grasp, something about her keeps him from exacting his vengeance—or is it merely her glamour blinding him?

Trapped by fate, Emmaline must hope that she can reach Aeric’s furious heart before it’s too late….

  1. I have read quite a few of your books before but my favourite has to be Witch Fury. Sarafina was brilliant! 🙂


  2. Hi

    I have read your books before (love them) and my favorite title is Wicked Enchantment.

    Thanks


  3. I have read Witch Fire and Witch Blood. I picked the first one at the KY book Fair. That is where I ‘discovered” you. Witch blood was my fave of those two. I am rally wanting to read the Dark Magic books.

  4. Hi Anya,
    I haven’t read your books yet, I just found you but I’m going to get them. Both series sounds great, so I can’t chose just one that i like the best, so I’m getting both . Then I will start on your single titles after the series.


  5. I read your entire Elemental Witches series and of those four books, Witch Fire is my favorite 😛

    By the way, are you ever going to go back and add more to that series? Because that would be awesome!


  6. My favorite book so far is Wicked Enchantment. I have read all of your books except the Vegas books, and love, love, LOVE them!


  7. I already have this book but wanted to answer the question so please don’t count me in for the contest…lol…

    I have read a couple of your books and am just starting “Wicked Enchantment”. I haven’t gotten very far but so far I still like “The Chosen Sin” the best…..


  8. I have heard so many good things about your books, I wanted to stopped by and learn more for myself. I am a big fan of covers and find myself drawn to The Chosen Sin. What a great cover! Your Elemental Witches series also sounds quite exciting. It looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up on.


  9. Yes I’ve read a lot of your books. My favorite series so far has the Elemental Witch series. I really loved Witch Blood. Mmmm… Thomas!!


  10. I never read your books before. But I wold love to read Dark Magick series. They have a coolest cover I’ve ever seen and the blurb sounds promising 😀


  11. My favorite so far is Witch Fire. 🙂


  12. I have read alot of your books.
    I have read all the Elemental Witch Series
    which i absolutely loved! they were fantastic, wish the series didnt ever end because i would just keep reading and reading it.
    I’ve read all of the Dark Magic Series and Hot for the Holidays, same as the witch series, i love them i could just read them forever…
    I’ve read Chosen Sin [very good], Raven’s Quest [my favorite stand alone book]
    I’ve read some of Jeweled, and plan on finishing it sometime this summer and of course buying Jaded.
    -It is so hard to pick a favorite because i love all of your books, I would probably have to pick Witch Blood.
    Witch Blood is the whole reason i even started reading, about a few years ago I saw it for sale at walmart and thought it looked cool so I bought it. I didn’t know that it was a part of a series at that time but ended up figuring it out and bought them all.
    && Now I’m all caught up and am waiting for the next book to come out on shelves 🙂

    I love all of your Covers, Tony Mauro is amazing.


  13. I’ve read the entire Elemental Witches series. I really, truly adored Witch Fire. I think that was my favorite out of the lot of them. <3

    Actually, I think I remember emailing you after I had finished it, asking how many titles were going to be released for it!


  14. I’ve only read your story in Hot for the Holidays. It was great. That said, I’d like all of your work but think the Dark Magick series would be fun right now. You know how it is – I like to switch it up every now and then :).


  15. I have read quite a few of your books. I really like the Elemental Witch series. I also enjoyed Jeweled. Although my favorite to date is Witch Fire 😀

  20. I have read a couple of your books but my favorite so far is Witch Fire. It is actually the first book of yours I’ve read but I absolutely loved it.

  45. You were actually the first romance author I tried so I’m partial to your Elemental Witch series, in particular, Witch Heart. The title was perfect for the feel of the book. Adam was fabulous btw.


  46. After I read Cruel Enchantment and I thought this would be my favorite among your books. But when I read Dark Enchantment, I love this book even more than Cruel Enchantment. Dark Enchantment is my all-time favorite.


  47. I think my favorite was Witch Fire.


  48. My favorite of your books so far is The Chosen Sin. I have also read your Elemental Witches series, your stories in What Happens in Vegas and What Happens in Vegas After Dark, as well as a few of your other Ellora’s Cave books.

    I haven’t read this one yet but it’s on my wish list.


  50. I have read your books and Witch Fury was my first and favorite.


  51. I’ve read Wicked Enchantment & will love continuing the story. I haven’t read a lot of paranormals, but Enchantment was a great representative of the genre.


  52. I have the Dark Magic series on my bookshelf. It is on my summer reading list.


  53. I’m familiar with you as an author but I unfortunately haven’t read anything by you yet Ms. Bast.

    Out of the series I’d like to get the most acquainted with.

    I think I’d really like to read the first books in both your Dark Magic and Elemental Witches series.

    They seem like a different sort of paranormal read and I think I’d really get into them.

  55. I was pretty sure I had read some of your books awhile ago, but when I checked your bookshelf, I couldn’t remember any of the titles – oh, dear – mama said there’d be days like this. Sorry! I’d like to read the Dark Magick series – to start! Thanks.


  56. I don’t believe I have ever read one of your books, but i’m open to try anyone of them ..just make a suggestion and i will try it…thanks kimy


  57. I am savouring my way through the’ Dark Magick series’. I’m not in a rush because the end will come all to soon if I do.


  58. Haven’t read your books yet but this one, Cruel Enchantment, sounds great & I would love to try it!! :mrgreen:
