5 Kisses: "In a world in which warlocks and sorcerers are as plentiful as clover, and magic runs rampant, a Coven of thirteen warlocks under the leadership of the megalomaniacal and insane Damien Rochester plots to take over the nation, ruling it politically and socially. The Coven will stop at nothing, including practice of the Dark Arts and torture of its enemies, as well as human sacrifice of virgins to feed pet demons. Arrayed against them are the sorcerers of the Alliance, a group which includes Rowena Black, a young woman orphaned by Rochester in childhood.
Rowena's life mission is to find and neutralize all warlocks, stripping them of their power. But when she battles and disfigures Vayne Thorne, a long-term Coven member, her life takes a new turn. Soon she agrees to infiltrate the Coven on behalf of the Alliance, even though it means losing her magical power. It also includes sadistic torment and breaking of her spirit and will. Eventually Rowena is assigned to two members as a pleasure pet: Vayne Thorne and the Coven's healer, Galen Sinclair.
Black's Magic is quite an intriguing tale which is rife with both paranormal elements and sizzling sensuality. Although the violence is not graphic, there is plenty of steamy intimacy to titillate the reader's palate. The characters are well-drawn, and the plot involves magical elements which are realistically interwoven into the story. Author Cynthia Rayne scores a winner with Black's Magic." --Frost, Two Lips Reviews
