    About this audiobook

    Patricia Rice, a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author, has won numerous awards, including the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice and Career Achievement Awards. Much Ado About Magic is the delightful tale of a painting that takes on a life of its own. Because Lady Lucinda Pembroke’s paintings have a reputation for being prophetic, her picture of a handsome man laughing as a ship sinks causes widespread gossip. Londoners are sure it must be Sir Trevelyan Rochester, gloating as his wealthy cousin drowns. As Lucinda tries to repair his reputation, she creates a mutual desire as colorful as her brushstrokes.

      A so-so read which I found myself skipping through to be done with it.
    • 3/5
      A fun, fluffy read. Think 'Sorcery and Cecelia' with less worldbuilding and more sex. I was grinning throughout most of it.
    • 5/5
      Much Ado About Magic is the 5th, if I'm not mistaken, in this series about the magical Malcolm women.Our heroine, Lucinda, is a Malcolm, a family whose women tend to have varied psychic or magical talents. Her particular talent shows up in her paintings which portray things that have happened or might happen in the future.The trouble starts when one of her paintings results in the hero, Sir Trevelyan Rochester, being accused of his cousin's murder. Trev is furious, and sets out to find the mysterious artist and force her to confess that his uncle hired her to paint the damning picture. Lucinda, on the other hand, decides to retire, incognito, to the country and paint nothing but landscapes, hoping to avoid such disturbing occurrences in the future.But magic can't be denied, and after the Trev & Lucinda meet, most particularly after they kiss, she begins drawing in her sleep, and draws a picture that leads them to believe his cousin is still alive.The rest of the story is an exciting quest to find the cousin, featuring romance, psychic abilities, & the family members from previous books in this series, particularly the mysterious Aidan...It was wonderful visiting with this family again, and I particularly enjoyed Trev coming to terms with magic. As someone unfamiliar with the notorious Malcolms, it took him a long time to believe, and his skepticism was very believable.Along with the adventure and romance is a healthy dose of humor that really makes these books a joy to read.
    • 4/5
      good story. a little long.
