This is my least favorite of the 3 books. I wasn't happy with how Ripley acted but Mac made up for it. I wish they explained in this book instead of the next why she acts the way she does. Still a good read to me.

Love the hero of the story, McAllister. I remember the first time reading this book thinking he was my dream man. I enjoy Ripley for her no nonsense attitude but realize this book is just a stepping stone for the last book. Very much enjoying this series

Excellent story. The first one was my favorite, but I enjoyed this one too. Mac was an intriguing character and I wondered how well he'd fit with Ripley as I turned the pages. I love how Nora always puts everything together.

This series is so similar to Nora Roberts' Cousins O'Dwyer series that the story feel quite flat and uninteresting for me (as I read the other series first)
First, the witches (and yes, they are all considered that) follow the same quest of undoing a spell/curse put upon them generations ago, with the help of a romantic interest
Second, the characters (and even the order of their stories) are the same: first the 'outsider/new addition', then the 'fiery and strong' personality and finally the 'controlled/long-lost love interest' character.
I found the Cousins O'Dwyer series to be much more interesting and have a fuller storyline with more action and detail. I would definitely choose that series if deciding between the two.
This story felt a bit one-dimensional with little development in the actual plot (the 'quest').
