Three of today's best authors come together to show us what happens when three separate couples find their true love with the help of a magical necklace in Mystic Visions.

Brian Shearer was finally coming home to America after being held prisoner in Iraq for eleven years. The only hope that had kept him going while imprisoned was the love for his wife. The wife who had given him up for dead two years after he had gone missing and married another.

Brian is devastated and believes that he now has nothing to live for. With the help of an intervening friend, Brian leaves America and his crushed hopes and dreams behind and goes back to Kuwait to work for a friend's oil company. At his friend's house he meets his friend's sister, Alina, who looked a lot like the woman from his erotic dreams he had on the plane over.

Princess Alina El Rashid, has caused quite a stir in Kuwait City. She could not help that she turned down the proposal of marriage to the man who left her less than satisfied in bed. She goes to her brother, Dahoud, and his American wife, Shana's house near Mina Su ud, at her father's request until the commotion could die down. Once there she meets Brian Shearer and wants him with no passion she has experienced before. But will she be able to mend his broken heart and spirit? Will Brian and Alina be able to overcome the differences of their cultures and beliefs to be together as the magical necklace has foretold?

Ann Jacobs has woven a very heartfelt and romantic tale with Zayed's Gift. While this was a short story, the plot was one you instantly got into and the characters felt like old friends. One moment you sympathized with the hero and all that he had gone through and the next you would find yourself cheering the heroine on to get her heart's desire, and the sex scenes... oh my... were very hot.

Mystic Visions, three wonderful stories that telling the journey of one special necklace that help's its keeper find their one and only love... their soulmate. Across time and space, no distance is long enough if true love is to be found. I highly recommend Mystic Visions written by some of today's very talented authors. Please check Myra Nour, Sahara Kelly and Ann Jacob's websites to find out more about these wonderful authors.

Need a fairy-tale with an erotic punch? Well then Awakenings is for you. An interesting spin of the classic Sleeping Beauty tale, Awakenings brings us a story of true love, evil witches and happy endings.

Born the younger of a Gaziatepan twin robs Prince Joringel of being the king of his land. With an ancient legend of Princess Talia in his head, Joringel sets off for Aprodiasia to awaken the beautiful princess and claim an empire of his own. But Joringel's trip brings him much excitement, including the love of the lovely maiden, Jorinda.

When the evil witch captures Jorinda, Joringel realizes he has just lost his true love. Now Joringel must seek the help of his twin brother to help him awaken the legendary Princess Talia in order to save his true love. Will the twins be able to seduce the beautiful princess from her slumber or will they fail and the fair Jorinda be lost forever?

Ann Jacobs never ceases to amaze me with her wonderful tales. Fairytales are one of my favorite and as an adult, I like to see the more risqué side to the happily ever after story. I hope to see more fairy tales from her in the future.
