Editorial Review: Product Description: My Dearest Reader, For as long as I can remember, my life has been a solitary one. Do not think me a pitiable recluse, for, as the Earl of Graymar, I have taken my place in Society when I must, and enjoyed both the company and pleasure of desirable lovers. But as the Great Sorcerer, or Dewin Mawr, as magic mortals call me, I have always believed that my destiny and the duty I owe to all those who possess unique powers, has precluded love, marriage, and true companionship. I was resigned to my lonely fate. Until now… Sarah Tamony is unlike any mere mortal woman I have ever known. Passionate and bold, she has heard the whispers about my people and discovered that I belong to an ancient Welsh clan descended from magic. Yet the dark secrets of magic mortals seem to hold no terror for her—instead she asks to know more, even seeks to reveal the truth in the popular tales she spins. This I cannot allow. For centuries, my kind has striven to maintain our privacy, fearful of what might happen if our powers should be exposed to the world. Sarah has learned a great deal about magic, but there is still much she does not know, and dangers she cannot fathom…dangers that grow closer every day. Her lightest touch ignites a deep hunger in me, and her love is a prize I would risk my life to own…for she has already stolen my soul… Your obedient servant, Malachi Seymour, Castle Glain Tarran, Wales Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Touch of Desire-A Joyfully Recommended TitleMalachi Seymour, the Earl of Graymar, is the Dewin Mawr¾a very powerful sorcerer. When a rather bothersome and inquisitive woman named Sarah Tamony persistently seeks him out to learn more about him and his family for a book she is writing, Malachi insists that she be stopped. For anyone to know too much about the magic users would be dangerous. The time has almost come for Malachi to face the Cythraul¾a demon who arrives to test all ruling wizards. He must reach the demon before ... Read More Rating:  - Regency -style and Plenty of Paranormal Fun--3.5 starsThis stand-alone book belongs to a series from an author focusing on a family of English wizards with a little Welsh/Celt spin. The particular "spin" adds new words to our collection of magical phrases. but doesn't do much else. This story continues with characters from her other novels but the story is rather familiar and doesn't connect to the others in such a way to prevent a solo read. The theme of familiarity continues with characters that are almost stock from most Regency-era novels--"Lord of ... Read More Rating: - 3.5 starsAs the head sorcerer among his people. Malachi Seymour has his share of headaches, the latest of which being the incessant pestering of popular author, Sarah Tamony, who has enchanted the world with his people's tales. Such things risk exposing the magical community to mundane eyes, and now the impertinent woman wants his assistance in telling more. Yet, when she blunders onto his lands uninvited and expresses such joy and delight at the powers that to him are commonplace, Malachi finds himself softening. ... Read More Rating: - Great story!!I really liked this book. Even though the love scenes were pretty tame and there were only like two but anyway a great read! Alright first off it is about sorcerors and magic and demons. Which myself I have never read about that before and I wish more authors would. Our hero is the highest sorceror around and he is a good guy. Our heroine is one of the most famous people around and she is an author. Our villian is the evilest sorceror around and he bad(But I so do love a bad boy...especially when he falls ... Read More Rating:  - Not really rememberableI was half way through this book when I realized this was the same author I had bought Touch of Night, read it, then sold it, only to accidentally re-buy and read the book again because I forgot all about it. Touch of Desire is similar to Touch of Night in that it's not very rememberable. If you like the regency period, it was a well written book and the language spoken stays consistent. However, despite the magical elements of the book the story was dry and the characters were not all that ... Read More
