Blurb:
Welcome to the world of Harmony, where—despite its name,
things are anything but—danger lurks just beneath the surface in this new novel
by New York Times bestselling author, Jayne Castle.
If there’s something Ravenna Chastain knows, it’s when to end
things. And after she almost winds up the victim of a cult that believes she’s
a witch, it’s easy to walk away from her dead-end career, ready for a new
start. But where to find a job that would allow her to use her very specialized
skill set? The answer is clear: she becomes a matchmaker.
But even a successful matchmaker can’t find someone for
everyone, and Ravenna considers Ethan Sweetwater her first professional
failure. After nine failed dates, Ravenna knows it’s time to cut Ethan loose.
But Ethan refuses to be fired as a client—he needs one final date to a business
function. Since Ravenna needs a date herself to a family event, they agree to a
deal: she will be his (business) date if he will be her (fake) date to her
grandparents’ anniversary celebration.
What Ethan fails to mention is that attending the business
function is a cover for some industrial espionage that he’s doing as a favor to
the new Illusion Town Guild boss. Ravenna is happy to help, but their
relationship gets even more complicated when things heat up—the chemistry between
them is explosive, as explosive as the danger that’s stalking Ravenna. Lucky
for her, Ethan isn’t just an engineer—he’s also a Sweetwater, and Sweetwaters
are known for hunting down monsters…
My review:
Whether it’s by Jayne Ann Krentz, Amanda Quick or Jayne Castle
this author is an auto-buy for me. Sweetwater & the Witch takes us back to
Harmony with its peculiar weather, quirky residents and dust bunnies that make
Stitch look like Tinkerbelle.
Sweetwater & the Witch tells the tale of Ravenna Chastain
a former profiler and current matchmaker with a gift for fire (who stole my
heart with popcorn and fireworks) and a gifted engineer Ethan Sweetwater with a
talent for hunting. These two start out as fire and ice and end up heating up
the page. The thing you need to know about Harmony is that the worst monsters
on the planet are human. This is a fantastic addition to the series.
