Charmed & Ready by Candace Havens
3.0
I like the Bronwyn the witch series by Candace Havens, although it isn't my favourite of her books [that's the Carruthers sisters series - which I'm waiting impatiently for another book on] but it's a good, solid paranormal story with interesteing plots, good entertaining characters and plenty of magical mayhem to keep things interesting.
In book two, Bronwyn's recuperating from almost dying at the end of book one. But the PM of Britain really needs her help protecting rock star Zane from what seems to be magical attempts to harm him.
Bronwyn agrees to to to England, against her own better judgement, and the wishes of her boyfriend Dr. Sam, who also nearly died in book one. Once she arrives she can't seem to pinpoint the source of the evil magical currents that seem to be swirling around Zane. And things willl - naturally - get much worse before they get better!
The story of Bronwyn is mostly about the magical demon fighting and figuring out who's trying to do what to whom. But there are a few moderately explicit sex scenes between Bronwyn and Sam, although they are infrequent and relatively brief. There's also what I would describe as a moderate level of violence as Bronwyn and her demon-slayer pal Simone try to defeat the bad guys, but nothing over-the-top, especially if paranormal fiction is your genre.
The Bronwyn character comes off as slightly selfish and self-absorbed to me, which is why this series isn't my favourite, but I like the way Candace Havens writes, and the storyline is entertaining and exciting. A decent read for paranormal fans.
