Sorcha wants to prove that she is a strong enough wizard to retrieve the Hearts of Fire amulet and bring about some kind of peace treaty between the humans and the dragons. She is willing to do whatever it takes to get the amulet, even going against her mother's wishes and advice.

The price exacted against Sorcha is much higher than she expected, but out of it comes a new understanding for dragons, and she believes she will be able to help both the dragons and her people. At her side is the one being she never expected to fall in love with — he is a dragon.

Sorcha's Heart held me captive from the word go. The writing is impeccable, and the story is very unique. In the quest to unite two worlds, a heroine finds herself squarely in the middle, with an amazing hero by her side. I am trying to word this review carefully as there are some surprises in this novella and I'd rather not give them away. I love the way the author made us feel for both the dragons and the humans and how I was able to truly be inside Sorcha's mind. I felt everything Sorcha felt. Debbie Mumford has created a world that you feel could really exist.

The problem with this review is I want to be vague because I want you to read the book. I want you to go out and buy this novella and read it and be taken to another land where you will be at once enchanted and awed. The only flaw I can find, and it is slight, is that the ending may have been just a little too cute for the story. That being said, however, it did make me smile and nod. Sorcha's Heart is a wonderful romantic fantasy by Debbie Mumford.

I give it 5 cats.
