"4.5 Stars! Rated 'O' for 'Orgasmic'...The Essence of Magic is nothing if not inventive. Okay, it’s pretty HOT, too!! Paris Dixon creates a world where each Royal Witch is gifted with power untold through the regular supping from her Royal Vessels. This book is fun!! Ahh…to have a force of 12 men at my beck and call for any pleasure I require! Well, I guess that is why they call this a fantasy novel and what a great fantasy it is. Not to say there isn’t more to the story, because there is. Ms. Dixon packs in mystery, political intrigue, a daring rescue and a wonderfully tender love story and rolls it all into one. It’s fast paced and the sex is beyond HOT, but not gratuitous as the love of Vita and Bron is front and center always. This is my first novel of Ms. Dixon’s and I believe I will be looking up her back catalogue to see what other treasures I can find."—Amber Taylor, Just Erotic Romance Review Newsletter

"4 Roses...Come to a world so vibrant and magical. This reviewer found this book was a wonderful story of magic, mystery, and ultimate good vs. evil. The plot was a fast-paced ride that makes you wonder what happens at the end of each page. The main characters were quite multidimensional and well rounded.

The mystery and ultimate battle of good and evil was a treat and gave the storyline added dimensions. This reviewer loved the different aspects of magic and the way the words flowed so smoothly. The interplay between Vita and Bron was fast-paced, yet the reader could feel the love that flowed between them.

"4 Angels!...The premise was interesting...The plot turns around the concept that treating people in a respectful and just manner engenders loyalty even under adverse conditions. Vita, the heroine, treats her Vessels respectfully and in return the Vessels, under the leadership of Bron, act to save her when evil overtakes her. The sex scenes are frequent and explicit...The storyline is thought-provoking and rewarding in and of itself."—Jean, Fallen Angels Reviews

"4 Flames!...This is a powerful, very imaginative, and highly erotic romance! Paris Dixon can really write them! If you want a fantasy filled with erotic sex scenes, then you won’t want to miss reading The Essence of Magic. Women are in control here, but when Vita is kidnapped, Bron steps into the role of the man in charge and aggressively goes after his ladylove!"—Sharon, Sizzling Romances

"...A fun fantasy by Paris Dixon. The world she has built is both erotic and creative. The sex is graphic and hot enough to make the book sizzle. Also provided is the humor to balance political conspiracies that supply the drama. Ms. Dixon has produced an interesting story that will capture the imagination of her readers."—Rho, A Romance Review
