Library Journal Magic, castles, and romance come together with enchanting results in this charming collection of four novellas by some of Jove's more notable writers. Nora Roberts leads off with "Spellbound," a fast-paced story of spells and consequences; Jill Gregory provides a gothic touch and a dash of evil in her darker "Castle Doom"; Ruth Ryan Langan adds treachery and a wonderfully romantic spirit, in "Falcon's Lair"; and Marianne Willman's fairytale-like "Dragonspell" nicely completes the quartet.
