Publisher's summary

One was from another world and the other from another time.

In a failed attempt to turn him into an ageless lover, the evil, not-quite-a-vampire Lamia DuLaine poisoned hunky Druid high priest Julian Talbot on his wedding day. The Seelie Fae transported Julian to their realm for treatment and captured DuLaine, but not before she brutally murdered his new wife, Maxine.

Now, nearly two centuries later, the Fae have revived Julian from his coma and returned him to his ancestral estate, where he finds his bride's many-times-great-grandniece and namesake, Maxie Reigate -who could be his beloved dead wife's twin. Also there is Breslyn, Royal Fae Prince of Dagda. Because he'd honored the Treaty prohibiting Fae interference in the human world, Breslyn hadn't been able to prevent Maxine's death. This time, however, he will do whatever it takes to protect Maxie, rules be damned. It's not just guilt that motivates him - the sexy immortal has long admired humans, and he is especially taken with this human woman.

While she might look like her ancestor, this Maxine is a modern, spirited woman with emerging Druid powers of her own - and she will not be a stand-in for a long-dead love or a temporary playmate for an immortal prince. And yet, she can't help but be attracted to these two very different and absolutely mesmerizing males.

Together, the three of them must work to combat treachery from the highest levels of the Seelie Fae Realm, for one of the Seelie queen's closest confidantes is plotting to unleash Dark and monstrous Unseelie Fae on an unsuspecting human world. If that weren't trouble enough, Lamia DuLaine has been released from her Otherworld prison, and her obsession with Julian and hatred for the Reigate family are as strong as ever. But now she has even more Dark Magic knowledge at her disposal.

Spellbound Legend is the first in a great series and I really love in in audio with this narator

loved it and thought the narrator did a great job as well! great story and the author did a great job at creating her characters to go along with her story. I enjoyed listening to the book anywhere I went to. I recommend you get your copy and especially if you like some historical, paranormal romance read from past to present!

Loved it!

If you could sum up Spellbound-Legend in three words, what would they be?

You won't be able to put it down. Yes, I know that's more than three words,but three words does not give justice to the awesomeness of this book.

What does Stevie Zimmerman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Love the different voices. Made it easy to follow, and the flow was smooth. Although I think of Maxie more spirited and witty. At times with the voice that was used for her, I feel it did not come across as I vision her.

Any additional comments?

Word of warning, do not try to listen to this audio while doing other things. I ended up just putting down everything else I was doing just to sit and listen to the book. I was too fascinated by the story line, and was good for nothing else until it was over. Two sexy guys,murder,mayhem,plots galore -what's not to love. Grab your copy,curl up and enjoy.

So love Julian!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Spellbound-Legend to be better than the print version?

I love everything about this bout it is an awesome tale about Seelie Fae, Unseelies Fae, druids, druid priestess, and a mad woman.

What does Stevie Zimmerman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Any additional comments?

I'm a huge fan of Claudy Conn's writing and each book is different and unique. I loved the world she created with the Fae and Druid practice. Once I started Spellbound I could not put it down. As soon as I finished I wanted the next one. I found myself drawn to the story as well as the characters. This book has it all suspense, love, romance, deceit, action, intrigue, passion and heartbreak everything you want in a great story and strong characters to boot. I can't wait to read what is in store for them next.

Maxine Reigate's father has always told her she has special powers but she never thought anything of it and never believed him. When she sees her parents off to Africa, on her way back she has a vision of their plane crashing and her father saying goodbye to her. Two months later she gets a visit from a very sexy Breslyn, Royal Fae Prince of Dagda who would defiantly have all the women swooning over him (I know I was).

Then we have Druid priest Julian Talbot wakes up from a two hundred year coma just to remember he was not able to save his new bride, Maxine, from the evil Lamia DuLaine. Julian is one well-built stubborn sexy god of a man who is tortured because his could not save his wife and all he can think about is revenge. Can Maxine and and Julian defeat Lamia and Keep the walls up between the Fae and earth? Whoever said saving the world and having to choose between a fae prince and a Druid priest was easy?

Fae' Prince's are sexy !!

What made the experience of listening to Spellbound-Legend the most enjoyable?

It brings the story to life. I love this series and to listen to it being told made me feel like I was right there in the story

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the part where Maxine discovers what she is and then to have Juliet Talbot realize he can't live without her.

What about Stevie Zimmerman’s performance did you like?

the various ways of voice changes. It brought each character to life.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

You just have to follow the Legend.

Great Druid and fae book!
