Born of Magic, by Jo-Ann Carson #BlogMondays #Review #romsus




Born of Magic 
The Sorceress wanted a child of her own. The arms-dealer wanted power at any cost. Together they conceive a son destined to change the world. 




A short story linking the first and second books in The Mata Hari, Sexy, Suspense Series. 
By Jo-Ann Carson 


 My Review

 Born of Magic is a short, fun romp in the world of espionage Jo-Ann Carson has created with her Mata Hari Series. In the first installment of the series, Covert Danger, I found myself wanting to know more about the mysterious, yet handsome arms dealer, Bakari al-Sharif and his sorceress, Djeserit, and boy, does Carson deliver! As an interlude from the series' main characters, Seb and Sadie, Born of Magic is full of delicious information, rich with history, and saturated with details of international destinations. Carson weaves magical scenes full of sensory details that ensure the readers gets transported to the fictional time and place. We learn more about the history between Bakari and Djeserit, and I have a feeling the events in this installment will lead to some of the conflict in the next book of the series, Ancient Danger. I fully recommend this read.

 **I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**


About the Author:

Jo-Ann Carson has lived most of her life on islands off the west coast of Canada, surrounded by snow covered mountains, lush rain forests and pristine beaches. 

Growing up, she dreamed of traveling the world like James Bond, finding archaeological treasures like Indiana Jones, and finding true love. In her Mata Hari Series she combines elements of adventure, danger and steamy romance.

Her smart, sexy suspense stories have done well in contests and Mata Hari Series launched April 1st 2015.

Kickass Heroines by Melissa Snark

THE KICKASS HEROINES BUNDLE  The Kickass Heroines Bundle - Curated by Melissa Snark TL/DR: Get your StoryBundle with Kickass Heroines here:  https://storybundle.com/heroines What does it take to qualify as a kickass heroine? Tough question. Curating this bundle has taken me on a journey of discovery into nuances—everyone has their own definition. Often while talking to a prospective author, they would say, "I'm not sure my heroine kicks ass BUT…" She does in her own way. Every woman is the heroine of her own heroic journey, and that doesn't always mean what we might assume. Heroism is about helping others; acts of heroism can be great or small. I would like to give a shout out to the real-life heroine-volunteers of Knitted Knockers [https://www.knittedknockers.org/] who make special handmade breast prosthesis for women who have undergone mastectomies or other procedures. A portion of the proceeds of this bundle will go to benefit the Knitted Knockers c...
