Love, love, loved all three stories!!
Phenomenal Touch: A Supernatural Romance Series Starter Collection and Boxed Set has three different, but magnificent stories written by Marie Lavendar. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed every one of them. This author brings the story to life. The characters had a lot of depth, and were very realistic. This author has a great imagination and I'm glad it's being shared with stories. So, let's start with MAGICK & MOONLIGHT. OK, if I said it was magical, it may sound hokey, but it was. No only does Jessie have this magical power, but secrets she feels like she has to protect herself. A wonderfully majestic story. Now for BLUE VISION, here we are introduced to Brooke, who is attracted to mysterious Colin, but that is just the beginning, and I read this story more than one. Maybe it's my favorite of all three, or as I read each one, each one became my favorite. SECOND NATURE, and yes, it has vampires, and I like vampiric stories when they are written well, and this one was. The story brings in the believable, even if almost impossible. (but you never know, vampires could be real). This author is not just a writer but a great storyteller. The stories capture the reader's attention at book 1, chapter 1. Who could ask for more, when it's filled with magical/fantastical creatures and other interesting beings (even the humans are interesting). (If this is a starter collection as the title says, I look forward to what comes next in each of these stories). Phenomenal Touch: A Supernatural Romance Series Starter Collection and Boxed Set is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.

I won this eBook box set in a contest quite by accident. I had no intention of winning and was shocked when I was notified. Never having read anything from the author or even really knowing what the book was, I was intrigued to give this a try. I read the book bio and was a little hesitant. I don't read romance stories, let alone supernatural ones. I don't like all the gush and mush. However, I decided to give it a chance.
It didn't take long until the story became gushy, descriptive and uncomfortable. The first story was relatively short so I finished that one but I won't be continuing the other stories. I also didn't agree with the witchcraft theme. Aside from the plotline, I thought the story flowed well.
As I said before, I don't care for this genre so it's not my cup of tea. Others may drink it in, but it's just not for me. I almost didn't post this because it's more negative but I did read the first story and I want to be honest in my reviews.
