Kate doesn’t believe in it, let alone the panther sort Arran and Zeb Harris are famous for. Using animals in their act is just downright cruel. If only she could convince her libido of that. Instead she seems to have fallen head over heels in lust with those sex-on-legs twin brothers. Getting laid will cure this, surely?
When panther shifters Arran and Zeb scent their mate, they know they’ll have a fight on their hands. The delectable human morsel might be submissive, but Kate has spirit, never mind the small matter she has no idea shifters exist.
They want her submission freely given and not forced upon her by the mysterious mating bond. However, when their panthers kill while rescuing Kate, that bond might well be the only thing to keep them alive. It’s up to Kate to save her Sirs.
Love triangle? Cheating? HEA? Any Descriptive Sex w/OW/OM/Ex? Would I read more by this author/or in this series? Maybe, but not for now. Rating: -4 stars
Review
A quick read with hot BDSM scenes and two yummy panther mates. :)
Oh, Doris! How I love your shifters! Zeb and Arran are fantastic additions to your collection...and that makes it MY collection too :-)
"Panther Magic" is also a great story. Las Vegas magicians who use (ahem) panthers in their act. Of course we know it's our gorgeous twins, Zeb and Arran. THEY know that Kate is their mate as soon as they scent her at their hotel. Kate's not too sure, but she certainly can't deny (or explain) the attraction that she has for them. She knows nothing of shifters and is quickly introduced to their world during that evening's magic show.
After the revelation the story really takes off. I don't want to give anything away, so let's just say that Kate's men prove that they'll do ANYTHING to protect their mate. They're also Doms who are VERY Alpha, and what do you know? Kate's a perfect sub who needs to give Zeb and Arran her submission as well as her love.
This book is very exciting, and I found myself tensing up as I read. I kept wondering what would happen next, and I usually guessed wrong when I tried to figure it out. It's also a touch more violent than Doris' other books, but that's not a bad thing at all. It added to that excitement and played an important role in the story.
The sex scenes and BDSM scenes are brilliantly written as usual. They're hot, sexy, and there is also a tenderness involved. It's obvious that the men love Kate as much as she loves them. Their passion comes through, and it's near physically palpable.
This is the fifth installment in "The Projects" series. It can be read as a stand alone. There is enough exposition for the reader to know what is happening in the shifter community. You don't have to read them in order, but seriously, I recommend it simply because they're really, really great books. You'll love them.

I love the fact that if I want to get a good dose of one of my fav genr5e's all I have to do is grab a book Doris o'connor wrote. Panther Magic is book, you could very well read it without reading the others.. but then you will want to go back and get the others.. smiles
Its always something special about twins, can you even imagine. Drop dead gorgeous, sexy and Doms. Arran and Zeb are twin panther shifters. When they spot there mate poolside at a local spa/club things just get interesting. Though there twins Arran is the voice of reason where as Zeb is all bit then bite again.
Kate is an old school sub and likes the fact that she doesnt have to be committed to get what she craves, she can scene with anyone at the club. When she sees the twins and the mob of girls vieing for their attention, she doesnt understand her own bodies reaction, before she knows it both males are headed toward her.
when a bit of well a lot of trouble brews, the brothers will show just what it means to be a panther shifter. Which envolves the council that not really happy with the brothers, and dont like humans for the most part.
I just thought this story was a lot of fun, loved Kates personality snarky and sassy and ready to kick butt. some oh so hot yummie scences with a bit of BDSM to them. The scenes were written well and with care.
I cant wait to read some more of Ms. O'connor's books .. Enjoy
Kate believes that using animals in a magic act is downright cruel, but she seems to have fallen head over heels in lust with the twins Arran and Zeb Harris anyway in this riveting paranormal romance. I was quite enamored of Arran, Zeb and Kate as they worked toward their happily ever after, their characters complimented each other and Kate’s submissive but feisty attitude added quite a bit of spice to the story and made this quick story a delight to read.
Review: Panther Magic (The Projects #5) Doris O'Connor Kate believes that using animals in a magic act is downright cruel, but she seems to have fallen head over heels in lust with the twins Arran and Zeb Harris anyway in this riveting paranormal romance. I was quite enamored of Arran, Zeb and Kate as they worked toward their happily ever after, their characters complimented each other and Kate’s submissive but feisty attitude added quite a bit of spice to the story and made this quick story a delight to read.
Kate doesn’t know what to think when she is introduced to two very hot men. She is attracted to them and her body wants them but when she thinks that they use animals in their act she wants nothing to do with them.
Arran and Zeb are world famous magicians. While on a visit to London everything in their life gets turned upside down the minute they meet a feisty young woman who has strong views about what they do on stage.
Kate doesn’t understand why she is so drawn to these two men. They invade her thoughts and dreams. She attends one of their shows after her best friend convinces her to go. When she goes on stage to ‘help’ them everything changes and after the show her entire life is turned upside down.
When Zeb shifts in front of Kate all bets are off. She not only learns that shifters exist but that she is their mate, according to them. It’s too much for her to take and she runs from them.
When danger comes calling and her life is in danger will Aaran and Zeb get to Kate in time to save her? Will they risk everything, including death, to protect her? What will be the consequences be?
Once again Doris doesn’t disappoint. She writes amazing shifter stories and this book is another great installment in this amazing series.
Her D/s is so believable and realistic, her multiple partner books make me all squishy and her Shifters make me want to believe they *really* exist. Put any two out of three genres together and the result is a total knock-out. Add all three together and its hotter than Mercury's surface and guaranteed to either melt your e-reader or have you heading to the fridge to get a very cold drink!
The Projects has been a particular favourite series for me. It's so easy to get used to reading about large carnivorous shifters - bears, wolves, assorted big cats, etc - that to suddenly stumble across an elephant-shifter knocked me back a bit. (I hope He gets his story).
Through the series so far there have been characters common to all books that keep them linked together, and, knowing Doris, there is a "big finale" planned for the end of the series.
Highly recommended! (but if you've not read the previous books in the series it's best to start at book one simply to appreciate the whole storyline to it's fullest)
What a great story. I have enjoyed this whole series and Kate, Arran, and Zeb did not disappoint. This one was very different from the others but I liked that. All three had great chemistry and the storyline was amazing. A must read!
Is it Magic, a trick on the eyes, or a myth come to life....
Kate finds out exactly how real that mythical magic trick really is when two hot men only have (CAT) eyes for her.
BDSM is in the forefront of the story right along with the men protecting their mate.
I have not read any other books in this series so this is easily a stand alone story. A little more BDSM than I personally like so I probably won't continue, but I will definitely be reading more from Doris O'Connor!
