Tudor England, 1588
Lady Jayne Boleyn lives in disgraced exile, far away from the scandal that destroyed her reputation. She would do anything to return-even seduce a daredevil captain and spy on enemy forces with only her barely controlled Fae powers to protect her.
The Spanish dons resent pirate Lord Calyx's leading role in their impending attack on England, but his rivals would kill him outright should they ever learn he's not only half-Spanish-he's also half-human. On the lookout for spies who might unmask him, Calyx's suspicions settle on Jayne...but so do his lusts.
Duty demands Jayne and Calyx be enemies, but fate has made them loyal lovers. Together, they may thwart the combined malice that threatens to alter the fate of Europe. But as a final confrontation looms, Jayne must choose between her long-cherished redemption and the precious, newly discovered secrets of her heart.
Book three of The Magick Trilogy.
Mistress by Magick (Audible Audio Edition) Laura Navarre Rosalind Ashford Carina Press Books
Alejandro Angelo de Zamorra—better known as Lord Calyx, the captain of the pirate ship "Arcangel"—is the Scourge of the Spanish Main. The other captains in the Spanish Armada resent and distrust him, and not only because his mother is English. His charge to lead the Spanish attack against Tudor England, under the orders of the royally appointed timid “Admiral of the Ocean Sea,” doesn’t sit well with him. But Calyx is a pirate, a mercenary who sells his sword and his ship to the highest bidder.The daredevil captain of the "Arcangel," known for his amorous diversions, has more than the English to fight. Control of his ship is challenged by the conservative Spanish dons in his ship’s hold and, to his confoundment, in his own quarters—where he is outmaneuvered by the mysterious beauty his crew considers his latest mistress.
His “mistress” is none other than the enticing Comtesse Jayne Boleyn, banished from court and country by her own cousin, the jealous Tudor Queen. Queen Elizabeth has taken Jayne’s son and given his wardship to her own favorite, Lord Robert Dudley. Jayne is coerced into infiltrating Spanish King Phillip’s royal court—and his royal Armada—as a spy in exchange for her son’s safety.
"Mistress by Magick," the concluding volume in Laura Navarre’s Magick Trilogy, captivated me from the beginning with its intriguing story line, along with Navarre’s lush writing style that makes every scene come vividly alive. She deftly interweaves the suspense of the impending Spanish invasion, the intrigue of two royal courts, the fantasy elements of fallen angels and the Fae, and deliciously pure seduction in this riveting tale of rivaling powers, deceit, and passion.
And as if that wasn’t enough to tantalize her readers, Navarre’s cast of characters makes for a fascinating read. Jayne has Fairie magick she can barely control, a legacy of her Boleyn heritage; Mordred of Camelot has returned from beyond the grave to reclaim his throne as the Faerie King, in secret accord with Spanish King Philip; Behometh—the captain’s black cat—has an uncanny ability to be everywhere and nowhere; lucky Lord Calyx charts his stars and reads omens; Arthurian legend is given a new twist—with fallen angels and the Nephilim thrown into the mix; and the fate of England is threatened.
I was conflicted between the desire to languish in the smartly coy interplay and romantic liaisons between Calyx and Jayne, or sink into the sumptuous descriptions of the era, or turn the pages faster as Navarre deftly builds the tension around the impending battle that looms on the horizon.
One would almost think these are too many story lines to weave together, but Navarre deftly does so with aplomb. She also navigates her way around sailing ships enough to please this diehard Patrick O’Brien fan. Laura Navarre is a wonderful story teller who takes romance novels to a new level with her diligent historical research that enhances her stories. Her romance novels are a secret pleasure for those—do I dare say—who consider themselves not the typical romance novel readers.
Make no mistake about it, the "Magick Trilogy" series are not YA novels. You may want to have your own Venetian lace fan close at hand when devouring these rapturously delicious books.
“They were captor and captive, Spanish and English, ruthless pirate and reluctant spy….There was only tonight. Then they were enemies once more.”

Mistress by Magick (Audible Audio Edition) Laura Navarre Rosalind Ashford Carina Press Books Reviews
First off, did you see that cover? That cover is awesome! It makes sure you know ahead of time that it has all you are going to be looking for in a pirate novel. I was almost giddy when I got this book. I am not a huge fan of historically set stories, unless of course it contains dragons, pirates, damsels in distress and pirates. Wait, did I just say pirates twice? Ok, you get the picture here.
I really liked this book and I am a bit disappointed that I came in at book three. However, I plan to rectify that soon because I WILL be buying the other two books. Laura Navarre weaves a magically enticing romance story here. Everything that good pirate stories are all about.
First you have to have the beautiful damsel, Jayne. Now this beautiful woman is really just a pawn in someone else's game, or so they think. I loved Jayne's character. Almost as much as Calyx's character. Almost. What can I say, I love me some pirates!
This book is magical, captivating and romantic in only a way that it can be. It is in a class of it's own and I think I have found a new TBR author!
