This book wasn't as easy to get into as the previous story but I enjoyed it overall.

Sir Nicodemus Wulfson has come to Lady Phil for her help in aiding his brother. Phil is a 'ghost hunter' and apparently can see ghosts, not that Nico believes it. Even though Nico is a shifter and changes his form into a wolf, he doesn't believe in other magical elements such as seeing ghosts. His brother is being haunted by multiple ghosts, and his health is getting worse. Philomena, is constantly aware of ghosts, but when Nico comes to her for her help she can't resist visiting a haunted castle. Phil is overwhelmed with a mystery, numerous ghosts tormenting Nico's brother, a black wolf that is on a killing spree, and a seduction from a sexy wolf shifter that she doesn't know if she can resist. Phil is 13 years older than Nico, and considers herself out of his league. He is young and virile and she considers herself older and not young enough for him despite his pursuit of her. Nico and Phil go on a journey together, a journey that could fire up their feelings for each other or could pull them apart.
Enchanting the Beast is the third in the Relics series. Enchanting The Beast was originally published in 2009, but has been republished this April. I was glad to get a chance to read this title. I have been wanting to try this author out, and for quite some time. So I really enjoyed this story. It was very different and the world that Kennedy creates is unique. In this story, we see that magic is well known among the people, and many have magical talents and abilities, and is set in the 'Regency era', which adds a certain twist to the story. I think the only issue I had with this book was that the heroine was much older than the hero. You normally don't see that in historical romances. So for some reason I had a struggle with that concept, don't know why, but I couldn't fully reconcile myself to it. Other than that I found it to be a charming and interesting read. It had a different tone to it than from any other story or book I have read. So I really enjoyed the unique setting and the way the plot turns out.
I really loved the idea of magic being well known, and that it is normal for many people. This couple was so good together, despite their age difference, I found their story to be stimulating and playful at times. You are completely drawn into their story from the beginning. We see how they have a connection from the moment they meet, and it was a ride seeing these two form a bond to each other. Even though it wasn't a 5 star read, I do consider it a very satisfying and well worth the read. ONE WILDLY FUN ADVENTURE!!!

Enchanting the Beast is about Lady Philomena and her romance with Sir Nicodemus Wulfson. Lady Philomena or 'Phil' as she's usually called, is propositioned by Sir Nicodemus to his home at Grimspell castle. He and the majority of the castle are shifters, but his older brother is suddenly plagued by nightmares of ghosts and it is slowly wearing him down. Nicodemus promised his brother to return with someone who can help and comes back with Lady Philomena. Phil has the gift or ability to see and sometimes talk to spirits. She originally only accepts Nicodemus' proposal for the money but their relationship turns into much more.
I would probably say this is my favorite of the three books in the series that I've read. I would give it a higher rating but even though I loved the first two thirds of this book the last part felt kind of disjointed and tacked on. I also kind of wished that this book had more of the magic and illusions that the first two had, but this was still a fun book to read anyways.

Enjoyed thoroughly (though really that's the series in general). While the insecurities of the female lead were pretty constant, it rang true for the character so it didn't bother me as much as you'd expect. The other nice thing about this book is that you don't really have to have read anything else in the series to enjoy it. Recommend.

Fluffy fun like the others. This one a wee bit deeper because of the personality stuff going on with the brother and the age differences. The problem is that I'm getting tired of the overwhelming lust=love in her books. Obviously the pair are well built for eachother but it would have been nice to see them bonding more. Instead they stay apart for a week and then go through approximately three traumatic events in one day that binds them together. It's all a little clunky.
