London, England - Present Day

Maddy Langton, Rafe West, and Michael Franco, three London detectives are in the process of wrapping up a two-week surveillance of an Eastern European crime boss. The stakeout culminates in the arrest of the crime boss, and one more of the most wanted is now waiting trial. After the successful job, Michael wants to celebrate and Mandy lets herself be talked into having dinner with him and Rafe, but she isn't sure it's such a good idea. She cannot forget an intimate encounter she had with Rafe, and finds it hard to put aside her feelings for him. It is not until she is on her way to dinner, that she finds out that Michael has decided to stay home with his wife and kids.

Before she can enter the restaurant, Maddy sees a thief grab a bag from a pair of monks. She chases and stops him, then returns the bag to the mysterious monks. In thanks, one of them gives her a ring...and tells her to wish for love. While visiting the ladies room, Mandy finds herself switching bodies with a busty blonde...the type of female that she is sure Rafe prefers. She takes the purse and room key of the woman and tracks down Rafe. What follows is surprising to both Maddy and Rafe as they give into scorching, irresistible passion, and find out that things are not always what they seem.

This is a short, entertaining read with a fun premise. I recommend it.

Present Day

What happens when a seven-hundred-year-old Druid sorcerer meets a woman immune to his charms? Well, for Coyle O'Caha, it's a sign that Deri Sullivan is his soul mate. The secret he harbors though, could keep Deri from loving him. But what will Coyle do when he finds out the real reason Deri isn't affected by his magick? Deri loves staring at Coyle's luscious body, yet knows that any relationship with a mortal will be doomed. When truths are revealed, both Deri and Coyle will find that their destiny lies with each other.

Miscommunication and lust ensue in Mandy M. Roth's SACRED PLACES, a delightful short story about two enchanted people who have no idea what the other one really is. Much of the story is Deri staring glassy-eyed at Coyle's backside, and lamenting the fact that he's a mortal. Yet when they finally open up to each other, watch out...a white-hot inferno sweeps up not only our fated couple, but the reader as well.
