Author: Helen Scott Taylor | Website
Helen Scott Taylor loves reading mythology, fantasy, and anything with a paranormal twist, so it was only natural she should write paranormal and fantasy romance. Her first novel The Magic Knot won the American Title contest, was a Golden Heart® finalist, and was chosen as one of Booklist’s top ten romances of 2009. The second book in the series, The Phoenix Charm, was a Top Pick by RT Bookreviews magazine.
Helen resides in Southwest England near Plymouth with her husband, her son, two Shih Tzus, and a cat who rules the household with a velvet paw. With the rocky cliffs of the Atlantic coast to the south and the windswept expanse of Dartmoor to the west, she loves to walk in the countryside while she plots her stories. She believes deep within everyone there’s a little magic.

I have to say, "A Clockwork Fairytale" is exactly as described, priests, magic, doodads, and all. If you are attached to steam punk novels, however, that aspect is only lightly handled here, instead falling into a perception of mechanical fantasy versus strict Victorian science. In all aspects though, I found myself liking it more because of this. The story of Melba and Turk is at times fun, tragic, mischi
The Phoenix Charm
This is the 2nd in a series but can stand alone.
He’s Pure Temptation.
Cordelia has sworn she’ll abstain from looking into Michael’s future—particularly when the image in the gilded smoke of her divination mirror shows him half naked. Yet she can’t resist watching the sexy rascal slowly running his hand down his ribs, over his abdomen, flicking open the button on his jeans with a little flourish like a magician performing a trick.
She’s Trying To Resist.
Respectable wise woman Cordelia restrains her secret water nymph sensuality with the Celtic symbols painted on her skin. But Michael’s powerful fairy glamour leaves her breathless, off balance, struggling for control. When Gwyn ap Nudd, the Welsh King of the Underworld, steals away Michael’s infant nephew, Cordelia must work with him to save the child. But how can she trust her instincts with Michael tempting her to explore the hidden elemental depths of her nature and insisting that she believe in the power of…THE PHOENIX CHARM.
