"Another delightful tale of the magical faery realm."
Rose Thayer has already ruined the careers of several
magicians by exposing their secret tricks to the public.
Brandon Goodfellow knws it's only a matter of time before
she shows up at one of his magic shows to do the same to
him. At one time, Brandon and Rose had been the best of friends.
All that changed when it became apparent Rose could create
real magic, while he could only perform the illusion of
magic, despite the fact that both were the children of
parents from the magical realm of faery. Brandon has always been jealous of Rose's natural skill to
create real magic as easily as she breathes. He challenges
her to discover his magician tricks without the use of her
supernatural abilities. Rose accepts the challenge and soon
realizes how very much she's come to depend on her magic
for everyday life. Brandon and Rose have never come to terms with their strong
feelings for each other and being in close proximity only
intensifies their old desires. In order to build a new life
together, they must overcome their past jealousies and
hurts. If you enjoyed reading Ms. Fox's previous novels, then you
will certainly enjoy IMPRACTICAL MAGIC. Once again, she's
written a wonderful book about the faery realm full of
laughter and magic.

The award-nominated author returns to the moonlit realm of
Titania's court—and conjures her most magical novel
yet...
SummaryBrandon Goodfellow may be the greatest illusionist in the
world, but he's not magician. Just ask Rose Thayer, the
beautiful faery who possesses the one thing he covets most
of all: true magical power. Years ago, she captivated his
senses and captured his heart, then disappeared without a
trace. Now, to Brandon's amazement, she's back—not to
rekindle the sparks she ignited, but to expose the truth
behind his greatest illusions! Still, this not-quite-
master magician has a few tricks of his own up his
sleeve. But it'll take more than magic to convince Rose
to do the one impractical thing she swore she'd never do:
fall in love...with a mortal.
