Includes Books 1-3

CALLUM-BOOK ONE

I want them to suffer…

For years, the Clan has lived through that curse, trying and failing to break free of the shackles that hold them to it. Now, an obscure text gives five cousins hope…

His duty was all that mattered.

Callum Lennon has one goal in life: protect his cousins. His failure in the past to do just that is what drives every action. When they discover a chance for redemption, Callum is willing to try. But trusting an outsider isn’t acceptable.

A woman in need of a new beginning.

An expert in archeology, Phoebe has always felt dwarfed by her parents’ shadow. In college by thirteen, she’s never measured up to her parents’ high standards. When the Lennons contact her, she decides to take a chance…and finds herself intrigued by the most insufferable man.

A passion impossible to ignore.

One argument leads to a kiss and to an unbearable desire they cannot seem to fight. When an old enemy threatens their fragile new love, Callum will have to choose between believing his mind or trusting his heart.

ANGUS-BOOK TWO

A man who only believes in fact.

Even after everything the Clan has endured, Angus has always held onto his scientific leanings. He isn’t a believer of instant attraction, so, he is surprised by the force of his attraction to Irishwoman Maggie O’Conner. He doesn’t trust her, but she soon become an obsession he can’t seem to shake.

A woman who defies every logic.

Single mother Maggie comes from a long line of magickal women, but she walked away from that part of her life. When Angus bursts into her life, she tries to ignore the handsome Scot, but soon finds that she needs his protection. She knows he’s not normal, but she never expected him to be the one man who could capture her heart.

A passion they could not deny.

As they work together, their need for each other threatens to consume them both. But just as they close in on the next jewel, a new enemy emerges and puts everything they hold dear into jeopardy.

LOGAN - BOOK THREE

A man who always sees beneath the surface.

Logan has lived his dream of being an artist for hundreds of years. He’s painted some of the most beautiful women in the world, but none of them compare to Meghan Campbell. When they are paired up to go after the next jewel, resisting her becomes almost impossible, but he knows he must. The witch is hiding something and until he knows what that is, he cannot fully trust her.

A woman who can lure any man.

As a witch with siren abilities, Meg has never had a problem with the opposite sex. That is, until she met Logan. The irritating man seems to be the one person in the world who doesn’t succumb to her spell. Unfortunately, he is the one man she really wants. No matter how hard she tries, he resists her.

As they embark on their quest for the next jewel, tempers flare and passion ignites. But when a new layer of the curse is revealed, they discover their failure could put lives in danger. The two must work together to fight the rising power against them and hope that those who support the Clan survive the fight.

My review:

The first three books of The Cursed Clan series by the fantastic Melissa Schroeder. 

CALLUM-BOOK ONE

Callum Lennon is a cranky, reclusive, wealthy Scot with a problem. He and his cousins were cursed in the 1700’s. They have recently come into possession of a diary that may contain the way to break the curse. The problem is it is written in several languages and in code. Enter Phoebe Chilton. Phoebe is the daughter of famous archeologists, went to college at thirteen and is now a widow from a horrible marriage. She does however possess the skills to decode the diary. Sparks both good and bad fly between Phoebe and Callum from almost the instant they meet.

I’ve read and enjoyed several of Ms. Schroeder’s erotic romances. This is not an erotic romance despite some very toasty scenes. I’d call it romantic suspense with a paranormal feature (the curse). That being said, I LOVED this story. Hot Scots, action, adventure, and mystery what’s not to love?

ANGUS-BOOK TWO

This isn’t a case of opposites attracting as they have more in common than Angus would like to admit. I really liked the characters of Maggie and Jack. Melissa Schroeder has a gift for putting characters in stressful situations and having them come out better and stronger together. And though Angus isn’t the McLennan my heart goes pitty pat for he is one fine Scot.

LOGAN - BOOK THREE

Logan is the laid back artist except when it comes to lovely witch with siren abilities Meghan Campbell. Meg is an admitted grafter and Logan is conflicted. He wants her but he doesn’t trust her. Now it seems that she is integral to his task in undoing the curse, stealing a sapphire that once rested in the blade of Robert the Bruce. If he isn’t careful she may steal his heart at the same time. 
Although this is a standalone story you really should read the first two, Callum and Angus, before reading this as there is a lot that has happened to this point that you will better understand where everybody is coming from. I like that the author does not feel the need to rehash what happened previously. 
Logan is sweet, strong and sexy. Meg is smart, sassy and wickedly talented. They make an incredible team. I can’t get enough of Melissa Schroeder’s Cursed Clan. Bring on Fletcher!
