A fun read. Debating as to whether or not want to read the prequel or sequel. As always, love to read about strong women who know what they want and go for it and strong, supportive men who are also a bit vulnerable. Enjoyed this one.

Good read but stay away if you 'doona ken' dialect... The plot in the first book [A Certain Wolfish Charm] was driven by the fact the hero [Simon, our hero's oldest brother] was a werewolf. In this one, Ben has lost the ability to change and has gone to Scotland looking for a someone who might be able to heal him. What he finds is the daughter of the healer he sought, and the coven of witches she belongs to.
The book is charming and funny - the characters are people you would like to know. The plot is not hugely intense but unfolds at a steady pace. Could you read this as a stand alone? Yes. There's not a whole lot of overlap - most of the story takes place at the same time as book 1. At the end of book 1, the middle brother heads to Scotland to find out what's going on with his brother and he arrives about two-thirds of the way through. As always, I do recommend reading them in order...

This one was a lot better than the first in the series (A Certain Wolfish Charm). I liked Elspeth's independence. I especially liked that Ben and Elspeth actually talk after they get mad at each other like adults. Nothing dramatic happens like the first one but this one was done well. It is predictable but quite sweet as well.
Good, easy read.
