Recommended

Maris is just as the title indicates, Magic. From a little girl to present her gift working with horses is legendary. She takes after her warrior, horse whisperer father Wolf. This story is fitting for such a remarkable woman. As I have read the series from the beginning (each story stands on its own as well), This lone daughter among so many brothers has shown herself to be strong and valiant. She would have to be to survive I think. That alone would make this story special. The fact that it is so much more is bonus.

I highly recommend this story and the series as a whole.

Good story, terrible narrator

The story was okay, but the narrator was awful! The only emotion that he seems to be able to portray when he's doing a female voice is boredom. I listened to each of the Mackenzie books available in audio format because I like the stories and author, but had to force myself to finish each one because of the poor narration. The only complaint I have about the stories themselves is that I didn't like how the perspective changed back and forth between the main characters without notice or clear indication.

More a novella

I would probably have given it another star if it had been longer. I haven't listened to any of the other books in this series so I probably didn't enjoy it as much as someone who is familiar with the Mackenzie family, but the rest of the family doesn't really come in until the end. It's mostly Maris's story. There's a very fast romance, a little bit of mystery on why she stole the horse. It was a pretty fast listen and would have been more enjoyable if it had been longer.

It had a male narrator, which is nice for a change in a romance story, but most men aren't good with female voices, but he didn't do too bad.

CUTE!

Cute and easy listening. It would be a good book to listen to while commuting--not too distracting. Likable characters, especially the little girl that appears near the end of the book. Linda Howard describes her so well it's as if you can literally see her.... and her little antics makes you smile.

Well narrated by Dennis Boutsikaris .

Entertaining novella and narration

This is a short, entertaining story with suspense, romance, and fun. Maris saves a price horse from being killed by greedy people for money. In the process she falls in love with an undercover FBI agent. The narration is very good except for the little girl's voice. This is a very enjoyable listen.

Poor recording

The story is as delightful as ever, but the quality of the recording leaves something to be desired. The volume fluctuates from one extreme to another.

Short but sweet

Another book in the Mackenzie series. This book stands alone and has another view of this family

Short Book

It was great to revisit the Mackenzies again. The book was short and I felt it could have been more developed. I enjoyed the book probably because I love the Mackenzies. I really would like the author to put Chance's book on tape. I have read both books before and enjoyed hearing them read. It was good Dennis Boutsikaris read this one as he did Mackenzie's Pleasure so it was the same voice.

It was good to have all the family in the book but only at the end. Others may not enjoy the book as much unless they know the history of this family. It would have been nice to have had some updates as to where the family was at this point.

I did not use a credit for this book because the cost was much cheaper than a credit cost. I can't complain it was money well spent. If you are looking for a quick listen - fun, short and a no-brainer this is the book for you.

I loved the book when I read it years ago but ...

This is a matter of preference only ... I can't deal with men reading a romance to me. I love this Linda Howard, I've read the entire Mackenzie series and would LOVE to listen to them but I get involve with my female characters, totally engrosses and since I'm not a man, I really can't relate. I bought this one as a test and I won't go back listen to the first books unless a woman steps up. I own them, I'll read them until a woman narrates.
