Cecelia Hewitt was not happy when Marcus Thorne left her. In fact, she was completely heartbroken. Now, six months later, they are reunited in the human world, but fae politics, family troubles, and sheer stubbornness may keep them apart forever.

THE MAGIC BETWEEN US mixes the magic of the fae world with historical Britain and tops it off with a love that may never work. Tammy Falkner writes with a smooth, enjoyable style that keeps you reading. The plot flows easily and logically, and it has a unique twist to it that I didn't expect. I appreciate the surprising depth in the plot in terms of family ties and values. It frames the drama of the romance very well.

Though the plot is solid, I'm not as sold on the characters. They all have some characteristics that I really like, but others that I'm not a fan of. Marcus and Cecelia are both lovable and caring, but they lack common sense when it comes to each other. At first, it's sweet as a reflection on how love has blinded them so much, but it gets less charming the more it happens in the story. The side romance between Cecelia's friend and Marcus's brother is predictable, but again, sweet. I found myself wishing that the characters' personalities matched the depth of the plot.

The characters are almost a breaking point in the story, but the writing style and plot make it worth the read. The little details about the fae world as well as the historical world are subtle and intriguing as well. In the end, I do like the story, and I would read more of Tammy Falkner's works, but I wouldn't be on the edge of my seat waiting for another book. If you enjoy romances with magical and historical elements, I would say THE MAGIC BETWEEN US is worth a try.
