Nico is a gay sorcerer. A rather selfish one, at that. He takes what he wants with no thought to the repercussions or feelings of others. Everything he owns he has taken from others, all things that don’t belong to him. His thievery doesn’t bother him; nor does it plague his conscious. Now he wants a mate, someone he can control, whom he calls pet in his own mind. He wants someone with whom he can be Master, and they can be Slave. He casts a spell, for the one destined to be his mate to come to Chimera Island, a mystical island situated in the midst of the Bermuda Triangle that Nico stabilises using his magic. The spell takes away the free will of his mate, leaving him unable to make his own choices, wanting to do whatever Nico, his Master, tells him. A link is made between the two, symbolised by a silver chain. But Nico had been unable to finish his lessons in magic and much knowledge is missing. His understanding of the threefold rule is limited and not something he has had much experience with. Just how will things work out with his mate? Will this magician, who has always been the one in control, retain his dominance in the relationship? Will he learn a new lesson, that there are some things more precious than even the silver chain binding his mate to him?

Jamie is an investigative reporter. He is bewildered as to why he would be invited to a place that is listed in no holiday brochure, but which checks out as legitimate. He is further bewildered by the way in which his member seems to have developed a mind of its own. Lately, he has been unable to get his mind off sex, and has had a continual semi hard-on at all times. He also cannot understand why he is drawn to Chimera. On his journey there, he has some peculiar dreams that may provide the answer to his questions...dreams that may just set up the rest of his life. Just what is going on? Who is the man he dreams about? Is he real? And what part does the energetic, extrovert woman he is travelling with have to do with his experiences?

Willa Okati's Under Your Spell is undoubtedly a fantasy tale, with much of the story occurring on an alternate plane to the physical. A dreamscape, if you will. This in itself is rather unusual and the first of its type that I myself have come across. It is also undisputable that this is a very erotic novel. From the very beginning, there are detailed, explicit sex acts and scenes between two males, a Sorcerer and a Human. Nico is a man used to being the one in control, but he is to learn that being equals with his mate, allowing his mate his own free will, will bring him more pleasure than he has ever known. Jamie is to find someone who feels as if he is the missing part of his soul, someone who completes him, but to be completely happy he must not let Nico be the dominant one in the relationship all the time. Under Your Spell is most definitely not for anyone who dislikes erotica, or those who dislike a romance of two men. For those of you, however, who like a tale where two people find the loves of their lives against all odds, with the help of a mystical force with other fantasy elements interwoven, then this is one you should seriously consider giving a go.
