Black's Magic captivates the reader from the very first chapter. There's action every second and, abounding in sarcastic witticisms...Out of ALL the espionage, etc (even Xena at her worst)....I've NEVER seen such fast, furious and deadly action. It took me a few minutes to realize I wasn't breathing and thought "I'd better do that if I want to catch the rest of the story"..It's espionage at its finest combining the British secret, secret service and a scientist from America who thought she was creating a cure but, instead, found it could be the deadliest of chemical warfare to the enemy. Do Not miss this wonderful tale written by an American & British writer, Cephalgia and MJ. What could be better? - Agatha Tutko - Aug 11th, 2003   

If only TPTB could come up with stuff this good! Black's Magic by MJ and Cephalgia is an absolute must read for anyone who enjoys a thoroughly captivating story. Murder, mayhem, espionage, kidnapping, a psychotic red-head, an ultra-secret government agency, a beautiful woman and her equally beautiful knight in shining armor make up only a fraction of what Black's Magic has in store for it's readers. Throw in a bit of humor and a handful of suspected traitors and you've got the best story I've read in a long time. Move over James Bond and Austin Powers because Addison Black is definitely working her magic and her mojo to rescue Skyler Tidwell and to save the world. - Kel - Aug 13th, 2003   

Great story! I enjoyed every bit of it! - Liyah J. King - Feb 1st, 2004

Woman James Bond, eh? I loved it! - Anonymous - Sep-27-2008   

great read especially if you like that James Bond sort of story. Read this one before reading Addison Black and The Eye of Bastet by MJ. - rleef - Nov-14-2009   

Cuddle up with a blanket and your laptop and dive into this exciting read! Does not disappoint!! - JC - Nov-16-2009   

Incredible story! It's extremely well written. I appreciated the mix of action and humor. I really liked that the realistic plot was intertwined with very feasible potential scientific break through that made the story all the more enjoyable. - celticmusicrocks - Nov-25-2009   

Great story, characters thrilling, lots of great visuals well done and highly recommended. - LeaAnn - Dec-15-2009   

Outstanding story by a very talented storyteller(s). Highly recommended. Lot's of action & adventure. Fast paced - kept me on the edge of my seat. Also, read the sequel - "Eye of Basket". It just keeps getting better for these two lovely ladies. Hoping the story continues. Absolutely loved it. - Anonymous - Nov-08-2010   

I really enjoyed this story. Read all the way through in one sitting and my butt hurt. xD Lotsa adventure and loved the characters. - Anonymous - Dec-25-2010   

This story and it's sequel are absolute genius.What an incredibly talented team of writers, and a truly wonderful set of tales. READ IT YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!! - uber goober - Jul-04-2011   

sublimely well written.. in every sense.. very few grammatical errors combined with a great story, that is interlaced with action and humour, are all the elements which make this novel into a delightful reading experience.. highly recommended.. loved the way the authors had all the main characters preparing for the gala.. - xtra dog - Jan-13-2012   

So much more than "just a love story", Connecting Hearts is a brilliantly written tale. It has a little bit of everything from humor to angst and friendship to passion. Cephalgia and MJ expertly wove a tale of a budding love affair that could overcome not only great distances but also personal tragedy. If you are looking for a story that will make you laugh, make you cry, then pick you back up again then Connecting Hearts should be at the top of your list. - Kel - Apr 27th, 2003   

THIS IS ONE THE BEST STORIES I'VE READ. ONE WORD "AWESOME"!!!!! - JB - Apr 28th, 2003   

This story was incredible. I've never laughed so much or cry so much. Make sure that you have a large stock of tissues nearby before you even start reading this story, cause trust me you are going to need them. Not only for the sad parts but from the tears that you will be shedding through the laughter as well. - Cheyenne - Sep 29th, 2003   

Cephalgia and MJ are both very good authors in their own right, but when they collaborate...WOW..they manage to kick the writing up a couple of notches! America meets Britain in a very entertaining and bittersweet story. The cultural differences add some spice and humor which balances the seriousness and sadness of the main theme. This is absolutely an excellent story and a must read! - Renee - Jul 25th, 2004   

I just finished reading this, I couldnt put it down for 2 days..I was completely obsorbed ,page afte page.This had me smiling one minute and tears forming the next.OMG...truely moving! Amazingly written....Remember to feed your pets before you start this one, you won't want to put it down!!! - manatee2008 - Jul-22-2008   

This was really a sweet and heartfelt story. 3 THUMBS UP - Anonymous - Jul-30-2008

Very good story. Curl up and enjoy this great tale. You'll like the sequel too - I did. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent Cephalgia and MJ - you two do make magic together as another stated above !! - Anonymous - Feb-19-2011   

it took me a longer time than usual to read this story. i was delaying the inevitable. it did not work out well since several times the novel had me reading through teary eyes. thanks to the writers for a beautiful story, especially for bring the memorable characters to life. the dialog, the rapport - just terrific. - kc - Feb-21-2011   

Brilliant read. Brought tears and joy! Don't miss this one! - Louise - May-14-2011   

Very good story. Romantic and poignant. Watching Denise and Randa's relationship develop in these circumstances was very well written. Their romance felt realistic. Sara was an excellent character too and her relationship with the ladies was equally well done. Definitely worth a read:-) - Lyn B - Jun-29-2011   

I absolutely love these authors' stories. They are incredible. Connecting Hearts and its sequel are very touching and extremely well written.My only warning is to have a big box of kleenex handy while reading because if it doesn't make you cry you should check for a pulse. - uber goober - Jul-14-2011   

these two authors writing stories together is a true blessing for the readers.. i hope they will continue their collaboration for many years to come.. - xtra dog - Jan-21-2012   

Really enjoyed this story can't wait to read the sequel xx - SD - Nov-18-2015   

SUCH A GREAT STORY! I can't believe somebody hasn't recommended it yet. READ IT, you won't be sorry. - Jade - Jun-18-2008

Thos is the finished 3rd story in a wonderful series by these great authors! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the series, starting with Unlimited Sexual Favours. - CoolNik - Nov-20-2010   

Very hot! I think it is the most erotic of the three tales and they are all pretty steamy. If you like well written erotica check these stories out. - uber goober - Jul-17-2011   

the aspect that binds all the stories in this series is that they are all playful, humorous and very erotic.. i hope this wasn't the last story of this series, because i would love to see how the parents throw that major party for the two main characters.. alright, i'll admit it: i'm a sucker for romance mixed with humor..
- xtra dog - Jan-20-2012
