Blood and Magic: Paranormal Romance–With a Steampunk Edge (Coven Enforcers Book 1)
Dark, Dangerous, Magical Men Who Live to Annihilate Evil
Magic didn’t just find Luke Caulfield. It chased him down, bludgeoned him, and has been dogging him ever since. Some lessons are harder than others, but Luke embraces danger, upping the ante to give it one better. An enforcer for the Coven, a large, established group of witches, his latest assignment is playing bodyguard to the daughter of Coven leaders.
Abigail Ruskin is chaperoning a spoiled twelve-year-old from New York to her parents’ home in Utah Territory when Luke gets on their stagecoach in Colorado. A powerful witch herself, Abigail senses Luke’s magic, but has no idea what he’s doing on her stagecoach. Stuck between the petulant child and Luke’s raw sexual energy, Abigail can’t wait for the trip to end.
Unpleasant truths surface about the child. While Abigail’s struggling with those, wraiths, wolves, and dark mages launch an attack. Luke’s so attracted to Abigail, she’s almost all he can think about, but he’s leery too. The child is just plain evil. Is Abigail in league with her? It might explain the odd attack that took out their driver and one of their horses. In over his head, he summons enforcer backup.
Will they help him save the woman he’s falling in love with, or demand her immediate execution?

Honest review given,
This is a paranormal romance involving witches and mages along with other more ghastly creatures such as wraiths and mad dogs and even the evil spirit of a Salem Witch! There’s a lot going on, it’s very fast paced with lots of action which definitely kept me reading and ensured I finished the book within a few hours of starting it.
The characters are great, I love Ann’s talent for writing a strong heroine. I find the sappy/needy heroines to be hard to connect to and really annoying, I would assume the heroines of a novel set in this period to be totally dependent on men and to be of the sappy/needy variety (this is probably why I’ve never considered exploring this genre) but boy was I wrong?! Abigail is freaking awesome, she’s a kick-ass heroine who can take care of herself. Luke, the hero of the piece, is a mage and an enforcer working for the Coven, he is just lovely….sigh…they definitely don’t make them like that anymore. He is a gentleman first and foremost, a protector, he is definitely an alpha male but is not over-bearing or over-protective with it.
I loved the ending, it fed my need for a happy ending perfectly. A truly well deserved five stars from me!
