Having magic in your blood doesn't make you happy.Rufus Pride lost his brothers to the Great War, his parents to the Naples Scourge, and he's on the verge of losing his cottage, his ponies, and everything else he cares about. Everyone knows his magic is powerful, but no one trusts him, not anymore. When he saves Ferry's charge from a cranky pony on market day, she offers the first kind words he's heard in months.Ferry Wright became a governess in rural England as a last resort after she refused to marry the man her parents chose for her. Six months later, she's (mostly) figured out how to manage her charges and can finally explore the nearby village and the forest around it. Rufus is everything her family would hate, but he loves and understands the New Forest in a way that enchants her. She'll gladly learn anything he's willing to teach.When a smuggler needs his raw power to handle a rare shipment, Rufus can't resist the chance to make enough money to change his life forever. He has hope for the first time in years until the curiousity of the local lord and a completely inadequate magical education threaten the only home he's ever known and any possible future with Ferry.Outcrossing is a standalone romance of 60,000 words with a happy ending (no cliffhangers). The Mysterious Charm series explores the magical community of the British Isles in the 1920s and can be read in any order. Come to the New Forest in 1922 and enjoy Outcrossing's magic, romance, and ponies!

Out crossing, A Review

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

A wonderful, delightful story full of mystery, magic, and mayhem. A little more descriptive sex than I prefer but most won't mind. Beautifully written. Highly recommend.

Katherine Morland

A Charming series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'd recommend this to anyone who like Agatha Christie, fantasy and Romance. It also has a good sense of place and an intermingling of magic and history, so keeps it interesting. I thought it was a bit slow for the first few pages and nothing much seemed to happen, but then I got drawn into the characters and am now on book 4, 5 to follow. I really like this world and I hope the author keeps it going -good job Celia!

Charming...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 6, 2022

Entertaining, sweet, kind little story, with attractive characters, evil villains, great settings, a simple plot, some well-written sex scenes and a pleasant denouement...strong females, bumbling males...short, amusing and fun...

Charming magical mystery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

Just after the First World War work is hard to find in the New Forest, even for a man with magic. This is a charming alternate history, and reading it during the Covid-29 lockdown adds to pathos of the mourning death from Spanish Flu, recession and interrupted education and training for survivors. A sunny romance with magic and an appealing heroine.

Charming world, but the punctuation? Omg

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed the two main characters, although the determined brevity of Rufus' speech got tiresome.
The world created is lovely -- nice feel to it, and the magic, and magical creatures are a delight. I wanted much more of them. Also of the ponies.
The sex scenes -- so gratuitous, and so very, very prolonged. Srsly, coupled (pun!) with the punctuation and the terseness of his speech, I ended up skipping them out of sheer annoyance. "I want to. Touch you? Tell me? What you want? I like. You. You are? So lovely?" Way more annoyance than I can handle.
I get that the author is trying to create a gentle, aware hero. I get that the punctuation is trying to create hesitance and uncertainty, but the super-abundance of question marks? In otherwise plain speech? Throughout the entire story? -- no. Using full stops. To create emphasis. Is a new. And way over-used. Trope. Too.
So yeah. Massively edit for reasonable punctuation, and give the guy a more natural way of speaking, and edit -- really really edit those sex scenes, and it's a good story.

Cozy historical fantasy mystery romance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

Outcrossing is a lovely, quiet historical fantasy romance with some mystery thrown in. It is a bit uneven but enjoyable. Having read some of Celia Lake’s other books, it is obvious that this was an early work. I very much liked Ferry and especially Rufus. Looking forward to continuing the series.
