Product Description
She has no problem fighting bad guys-but lots of problems finding a good one.
With her globetrotting career of protecting the British Prime Minister, Bronwyn isn't your ordinary witch. But her powers can't help her decide between a sexy Sheik and the town doctor, who happens to be a warlock-and more than worthy of a liplock.

 Adventure and Romance witch style December 15, 2005

`Charmed and Dangerous' by Candace Havens is Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Charmed style of novel but better. The main character is high witch who protects people with her magic. She has moved to small town in Texas but still finds herself in Europe and the Middle East protecting a handsome Sheik and a Prime Minister. She battles demons and warlocks who continue to try to kill her. When she is not battling evil and she is trying to decide if she loves the handsome rich Sheik or the Warlock Dr. Sam. I was uncertain about this book at first but it was a fun changem - take a chance. It made me laugh and cry so I would say it was very good book. I would also recommend Total Rush by Deirdre Martin if you enjoy this genre.

It takes an extremely bad book for me not to finish it. I hate not following through, especially with books. The format was terrible. There is nothing wrong with a diary format with the exception that it is written in almost all fragment sentences. The reader spends most of their time trying to figure out who the hell the protagonist is talking about. What made things worst is the prequel that lets you know the whole point of the story is that the character will choose between two men. Well, duh, just turn to the last page and you know who. I did. Then I spent 100 pages asking myself, why him? He's so annoying! What a dweeb!
The character, herself, is horrible. She bashes men constantly in one breath and then talks about all the one-night stands she wants to have. Whatever! She could have been a man, what with sex on her brain 24/7.
Granted, I didn't finish it, but I can't help regretting the time I lost reading this book, when I could have spent it reading something so much better.
A Fun Read! October 22, 2006

Bronwyn is a witch with a mission, a confused heart, and a zany sense of humor. Her mission is to protect a PM and a sheik--an oh-so-handsome sheik at that. So when a contract is put out on her life and every wayward warlock and wizard is trying to collect the bounty on her head, it makes snagging the real villain a whole lot more difficult.
Add in Dr. Sam, a hunk of a warlock (which is a problem in itself because Bronwyn has sworn off warlocks forever) vying with the sheik for her attentions and you have one mixed up witch.
Charmed & Dangerous is written in first-person diary style. The story is energetic and endearing. The secondary characters are fun and add depth to the tale. I adore a good ol' black-hat/white-hat shootout and we get several. Then, of course, there's Dr. Sam, a warlock whose gorgeous body and beneficent personality would melt any woman's heart. I highly recommend this story!
humorous chick lit romantic fantasy September 7, 2005

Sweet, Texas High Witch Bronwyn has the Prime Minister of England as a client. Recently she saved his life in Oslo and that of Sheik Azir from a warlock and other assassins. The Sheik has provided Bronwyn with a jet as a thank you gift, which she does not want because it is too extravagant.
Back in Sweet, Bronwyn meets non-practicing warlock Dr. Sam McKinney. They are attracted to one another, but Bron has a policy not to date warlocks as men and magic do not mix well. Of course enforcing her dictate means practically no males in her life. As Bron tries to keep Azir safe from his odious cousin, the Sheik and the doctor fall in love with her; she likes both though one contains warlock genes and the other is halfway around the world. Still does she love either of them and if the answer is yes which one?
This is a humorous chick lit romantic fantasy starring a delightful protagonist in which Bewitched meets James (make that Jane) Bond or at least Cody Banks. The story line is fun to follow even the dreaded bane of the sub-genre lists seem apropos as they come across as box scores of Bron's magical usage. Fans will appreciate this fine charmer while wondering who the dangerous Bron will select as her man.

 I wanted to like this book January 7, 2006

The concept was great, but the book read like a Cliff's Notes. The author didn't pull me in at all...I felt like it was a sketch of a book and not fully fleshed out. As a result, I only had a passing interest in the characters even though the spirit was fun.
