(  )readinggeek451 | Jun 13, 2009 |   I liked the change of scenery and the progression of the relationship between Katie and Owen. Without giving too much away, there are plenty of surprises in store for Katie back in her hometown. I also liked getting to know her family and a little of her background story. Good installment. (  )tjsjohanna | Jan 15, 2009 | Very cute story & series. ( )IceQueenTN | Nov 20, 2008 | Opening Sentence: "... It had been months since I'd needed rescuing from anything - no dragons, hideous monsters from hell, evil wizards, not even a really bad blind date..." Katie Chandler returns in this 4th instalment of her adventures. She has left New York and returned to her hometown of Cobb in Texas this is so she can no longer be held hostage by evil wizards to get the love of her life, Owen, to fall into line. She thinks she has left the world of magic behind her - but strange things start to happen and she realises that New York does not have the monopoly on magical events. She contacts her previous employer, Merlin, to let him know that there is some unauthorised magic going on. Trouble is it is Owen who turns up to investigate. I really enjoyed the book, a blend of comedy, romance, suspense, magic and adventure - and I am disappointed to hear that although book 5 has been written the publisher may not print it. I do hope they reconsider. ( )sally906 | Oct 25, 2008 | Not my favorite in the series, although I enjoyed learning more about Katie's family . Will be glad when we're back in NYC for the next one.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345492935, Paperback)Everything’s bigger in Texas–including romance, magic, and danger!Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family’s feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. In a painfully selfless gesture, Katie had left the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle his demons in the magical realm–after all, Katie just seemed to attract evil, which only made Owen’s job a lot harder. But now it seems that trouble has followed her home: Despite the fact that Merlin, Katie’s old boss at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has assured her that Cobb is free of enchantmen, (magically speaking), Katie begins to notice curious phenomena. Cobb is being plagued by a series of inexplicable petty crimes and other devilish mischief, and after her experiences in Manhattan, Katie knows “unauthorized magic” when she sees it. As this new darkness strikes deep in the heart of Texas, Owen appears (literally) to investigate. Now Katie’s friends and family must show the bad guys why it’s bad luck to hex with Texas, while Katie and Owen combine their strengths like never before to uncover a sinister plot before evil takes root in the Lone Star State. “Enchanting . . . Trying to start a romance with the world hanging in the balance is not optimal, but it sure is funny.” –Romantic Times, on Shanna Swendson’s Damsel Under Stress “Winning . . . [a] smart, snappy novel.” –Booklist, on Shanna Swendson’s Once Upon Stilettos (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:53 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
