Sure, everyone thinks she\u2019s too young to handle any big missions.

Any aspect, from magic to shape-shifters, make a book more likely to appeal. I also love historical romance. The first romance book I ever read was a historical. When I started reading paranormal romances several years ago, I stopped reading historicals. Until I discovered the historical paranormal subgenre. It&#8217;s like these books were made for me. I love them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Charming the Devil<\/strong> is the first romance I&#8217;ve read by <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Lois Greiman<\/em><\/span>, but it won&#8217;t be the last. I&#8217;ve fallen in love with this world she&#8217;s created.<\/p>\n<p>The paranormal elements in this book are small, but play a neccessary part in the plot. Faye Nettles is a new witch, unsure of her own abilities. She knows she possesses some small powers, but not what she can do with them. Not even what her abilities entail.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of the book, she is charged with a mission. She is to look into the death of one Lord Brendier. Her first task is to investigate Rogan McBain and his possible involvement.<\/p>\n<p>But McBain reminds her of a tormentor from her past. He has the same tall, muscular build. The same grace and speed of movement. He terrifies her. So much so that she sends a flowerpot careening into his face when he rescues her from an overeager admirer at a party.<\/p>\n<p>Not on purpose, mind you. You see, in addition to not knowing what powers she has, she can&#8217;t always control them. The other ladies of Lavender House\u2014the home for witches where she currently resides\u2014convince her to apologize to the man. She does still need to investigate him, after all.<br \/>\nAnd so, early the next morning, before the rest of the ton is even awake, he finds her on his doorstep. Scared, but ready to apologize.<\/p>\n<p>They meet several more times under unusual circumstances\u2014only at one other party\u2014in the course of getting to know each other. Faye has to hide behind her false identity, concocted to protect her by the inhabitants of Lavender House, though she desperately wants to tell him the truth. For quite a while, she addresses him by his surname to keep distance between them. Until her attraction grows too strong to fight.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t really say much more without giving too much away. They do have a happy ending &#8211; natch. The journey was entertaining. I giggled several times. I nearly cried when they finally did get it together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #800080;\">8 (Very Good)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat-Level: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">2.5 (Bordering on Sensual)<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/turalura.blogspot.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2922\" title=\"lura\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/lura.png?resize=540%2C148\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"148\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-2918\" data-postid=\"2918\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-2918 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charming the Devil Author: Lois Greiman Publisher: Avon \/ HarperCollins Pub.
