Captivated & Entranced by Nora Roberts

"The purest magic is in the heart"

Captivated: Morgana Donovan is a witch. At least that's what she has her self BELIEVING according to screenwriter Nash Kirkland. A horror flick kind of man, Nash is constantly seeking out "eccentric" individuals to study for his latest on-screen characters. When he hears about Morgana he couldn't help but find her. Not only was he shocked at her beauty (because every one knows witches are ugly), but he quickly found himself falling under her spell. Can Morgana prove this stubborn skeptic wrong? Or will Nash believe it's all because she put him under a spell?

Entranced: Sebastian Donovan has had the gift of Sight since he can remember. At times, it can be a burden, but it has also given him the ability to help others by joining up with police forces and sometimes the FBI when they need him. Mel Sutherland is a private investigator, trying to take her place in the tight-knit police world. But when a close friend's tiny baby is snatched right out of their back yard, she has to team up with Sebastion. A true cynic, Mel doesn't believe a word he says and is convinced that he is conning her friend with his "gift of Sight". It's not until he starts to prove her wrong (and steal her heart) that she realizes he might not be lying. Will Mel give in to him?


Personally, I liked Captivated much better than Entranced. I love Nora Roberts, but she does write the kind of novels that can come off as cheesy and always predictable. Captivated was entertaining and at times funny, but I knew what was going to happen before it did and there weren't a lot of twists. Entranced had a good mystery line to it, it was less predictable.. but I felt that Mel's character was a little flat. If you enjoy Nora Roberts, this is another great one of hers.. but definately not the best.
