REVIEWS
Melissa Rea has brought Casanova to life in our time. He was hard to resist in his lifetime, and Conjuring Casanova makes it clear he’s just as seductive now.
—ANDREI CODRESCU, author of Casanova in Bohemia
Though falling in love with an infamous playboy may be ill-advised, Rea makes it seem like a wonderful idea. A light, enjoyable romp through time.
—KIRKUS REVIEWS
Rea’s attention to detail truly brings Casanova to the 21st century, even for those who are unfamiliar with him. There are times when readers will honestly laugh out loud, times when they’ll blush, and still when they will melt from the desire between Lizzy and Casanova. A cute romance with a likable character and passionate pursuits.
—SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEW
This delightfully warm exploration of Casanova’s methods and perspective traverses centuries and very different worlds. Conjuring Casanova offers just the right touch of love, lust, and psychological and historical inspection. Especially recommended as a beach read with something more going for it than the usual romance.
—MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
The lyrical and erotic rhythm of a middle-aged woman on a quest to find what love means and what men want will lead many a reader to want to conjure Casanova for themselves. A whimsical, light-hearted novel to take with you anywhere, anytime.
—DIANA Y. PAUL, author of Things Unsaid
Rea takes the reader on an emotional roller-coaster…the story is full of rich characters and extremes; tears to laughter, twists to turns, oh no to oh yes moments, and ahh’s that warm the soul. Entertaining from the first page to the last.”
—PAM WEBBER, author of The Wiregrass
