I loved all the books in the series. I hope there will bve more.

An enjoyable and fanciful read. The creativeness of the story line and enwrapping of the magic world with the "mortal" world is almost believable. I've got all in this series and each is a unique story.

After saving the life of the English Prime Minster, but almost at the cost of her beloved Sam (see CHARMED AND DANGEROUS), witch Bronwyn wants some quality time with her boyfriend even if Sweet, Texas is sweltering in the August heat. However, the Prime Minister has asked Bronwyn to protect a friend, rock and roll star Zane. Sam is unhappy but duty calls so she leaves him in the states to journey to Bournemouth, England on what she assumes will prove a tedious assignment.

However, Bronwyn may wield some powerful magic, but her forecasting skills prove inept. First the paparazzi are everywhere and catch her in unfortunate seemingly compromised positions. When she calls Sam to explain, he refuses to speak to her or call her back. These nasty photographers crawl from under every rock and are always underfoot even when Bronwyn battles against Goth-clad demons who either want to take Zane to the dark side or eliminate a pest of a witch who has thwaredt their plans.

This sequel follows the further escapades and misadventures (at least in love) of heroic witch Bronwyn, as she battles evil demons who want her dead. Bronwyn's first hand account is fun to follow as her asides add humor to the fantasy mix. Fans needing a haven to escape the mundane will want to read the exploits of the CHARMED AND READY super witch as she battles evil while pondering whether demons or paparazzi are the bigger threat to her well being.

I have not read any of this author's books before, this one definitely would not make me want to rush out to buy the next in the series, I liked the premise of magic and weapons but neither the heroine or the so called love of her life were particularly inspiring,
she almost dies fighting a demon but the boyfriend is in a jealous snit so he never calls her, comes back after she is saved claims he was away and the battery in his cell was dead( I guess there were no landlines or payphones) and instead of dropkicking his miserable butt through the window, she proceeds to try and make him feel better via oral sex over the next few pages, excuse me while I puke.

This book is absolutely hysterical. I couldn't put it down. It's funny and magical and sexy hot. Extremely well written. Bronwen is my kinda witch. If she writes 10 more I WILL read them.

So far, this is my favorite book in the series. Zane, the rock star, is seriously hot. Bronwyn has her moments, which made me laugh outloud. Love this book!

Heads up, a review previously a person or 2 below was not designated as such but is a HUGE SPOILER. Hopefully it will be removed/revised. Disliking the book is of course ok, but not marking a spoiler is not fair. I sat down and read the book in 2 sittings, unheard of for me. Not my normal read, but an easy fun read. I look forward to # 3 to take on vacation next year. This makes a great book if you need the occasional short chapter, vacation or waiting room type of read. Reading the books in order helps a lot but is not necessary. A little make believe with enough reality and personality to make it flow reasonably. Not too romance-y and not too magic like, either. Neither strongly appeals to me, but this hybrid does. That said, it is not like reading a great instant classic. I usually don't finish those in 2 sittings, however.

I loved this book!Which is no surprise since i loved the first one too.Candace Havens is a fantastic writer,who really draws you into her stories.I am planning on reading all of her books!

Candace Havens has a new favorite fan....ME :) I am absolutely in love with this series and I cannot wait until the next one!

I absolutely LOVED this book! Candace Havens has a wonderfully funny, fresh voice and her characters are vivid and interesting. Keep it up!
