  <description><![CDATA[Everything’s bigger in Texas–including romance, magic, and danger!<br/><br/>Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family’s feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. In a painfully selfless gesture, Katie had left the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle his demons in the magical realm–after all, Katie just seemed to attract evil, which only made Owen’s job a lot harder. But now it seems that trouble has followed her home: Despite the fact that Merlin, Katie’s old boss at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has assured her that Cobb is free of enchantmen, (magically speaking), Katie begins to notice curious phenomena. <br/><br/>Cobb is being plagued by a series of inexplicable petty crimes and other devilish mischief, and after her experiences in Manhattan, Katie knows “unauthorized magic” when she sees it. As this new darkness strikes deep in the heart of Texas, Owen appears (literally) to investigate. Now Katie’s friends and family must show the bad guys why it’s bad luck to hex with Texas, while Katie and Owen combine their strengths like never before to uncover a sinister plot before evil takes root in the Lone Star State. <br/><br/>“Enchanting . . . Trying to start a romance with the world hanging in the balance is not optimal, but it sure is funny.” <br/>–<em>Romantic Times</em>, on Shanna Swendson’s <em>Damsel Under Stress</em><br/><br/>“Winning . . . [a] smart, snappy novel.”<br/><em>–Booklist</em>, on Shanna Swendson’s<em> Once Upon Stilettos</em>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[Another great entry in the Katie Chandler series.  Katie has moved home to Texas from NYC after the events of &quot;Damsel Under Stress&quot; where it was determined by Merlin that Katie's relationship with Owen was distracting him from his duties to the magical world.

    <![CDATA[Everything’s bigger in Texas–including romance, magic, and danger!<br/><br/>Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family’s feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. In a painfully selfless gesture, Katie had left the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle his demons in the magical realm–after all, Katie just seemed to attract evil, which only made Owen’s job a lot harder. But now it seems that trouble has followed her home: Despite the fact that Merlin, Katie’s old boss at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has assured her that Cobb is free of enchantmen, (magically speaking), Katie begins to notice curious phenomena. <br/><br/>Cobb is being plagued by a series of inexplicable petty crimes and other devilish mischief, and after her experiences in Manhattan, Katie knows “unauthorized magic” when she sees it. As this new darkness strikes deep in the heart of Texas, Owen appears (literally) to investigate. Now Katie’s friends and family must show the bad guys why it’s bad luck to hex with Texas, while Katie and Owen combine their strengths like never before to uncover a sinister plot before evil takes root in the Lone Star State. <br/><br/>“Enchanting . . . Trying to start a romance with the world hanging in the balance is not optimal, but it sure is funny.” <br/>–<em>Romantic Times</em>, on Shanna Swendson’s <em>Damsel Under Stress</em><br/><br/>“Winning . . . [a] smart, snappy novel.”<br/><em>–Booklist</em>, on Shanna Swendson’s<em> Once Upon Stilettos</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Everything’s bigger in Texas–including romance, magic, and danger!<br/><br/>Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family’s feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. In a painfully selfless gesture, Katie had left the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle his demons in the magical realm–after all, Katie just seemed to attract evil, which only made Owen’s job a lot harder. But now it seems that trouble has followed her home: Despite the fact that Merlin, Katie’s old boss at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has assured her that Cobb is free of enchantmen, (magically speaking), Katie begins to notice curious phenomena. <br/><br/>Cobb is being plagued by a series of inexplicable petty crimes and other devilish mischief, and after her experiences in Manhattan, Katie knows “unauthorized magic” when she sees it. As this new darkness strikes deep in the heart of Texas, Owen appears (literally) to investigate. Now Katie’s friends and family must show the bad guys why it’s bad luck to hex with Texas, while Katie and Owen combine their strengths like never before to uncover a sinister plot before evil takes root in the Lone Star State. <br/><br/>“Enchanting . . . Trying to start a romance with the world hanging in the balance is not optimal, but it sure is funny.” <br/>–<em>Romantic Times</em>, on Shanna Swendson’s <em>Damsel Under Stress</em><br/><br/>“Winning . . . [a] smart, snappy novel.”<br/><em>–Booklist</em>, on Shanna Swendson’s<em> Once Upon Stilettos</em>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[If you haven't read the Enchanted Inc. series, I highly recommend them.  They are clean, fun chick lit, which can be hard to find.  My only problem with them is that the stories are a bit drawn out.  Swendson could have crammed the 4 books into 2 and it would have been better. I still really like th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44882373">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Everything’s bigger in Texas–including romance, magic, and danger!<br/><br/>Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family’s feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. In a painfully selfless gesture, Katie had left the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle his demons in the magical realm–after all, Katie just seemed to attract evil, which only made Owen’s job a lot harder. But now it seems that trouble has followed her home: Despite the fact that Merlin, Katie’s old boss at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has assured her that Cobb is free of enchantmen, (magically speaking), Katie begins to notice curious phenomena. <br/><br/>Cobb is being plagued by a series of inexplicable petty crimes and other devilish mischief, and after her experiences in Manhattan, Katie knows “unauthorized magic” when she sees it. As this new darkness strikes deep in the heart of Texas, Owen appears (literally) to investigate. Now Katie’s friends and family must show the bad guys why it’s bad luck to hex with Texas, while Katie and Owen combine their strengths like never before to uncover a sinister plot before evil takes root in the Lone Star State. <br/><br/>“Enchanting . . . Trying to start a romance with the world hanging in the balance is not optimal, but it sure is funny.” <br/>–<em>Romantic Times</em>, on Shanna Swendson’s <em>Damsel Under Stress</em><br/><br/>“Winning . . . [a] smart, snappy novel.”<br/><em>–Booklist</em>, on Shanna Swendson’s<em> Once Upon Stilettos</em>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I happy read through this series because I LOVE the idea of it.  I've loved the story and characters (though Katie can be a little too socially oblivious), but the final book did disappoint me.  Lots of this story was predictable, and so many questions were left unanswered.  They stop Idris, but not...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72649915">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have enjoyed this series a lot, and I think Swendson did a good job winding things up. At the end of book 3, the heroine broke up with her wizardly (sorcerous?) boyfriend and went home to magic-free small-town Texas (vaguely in the Jacksboro area, I think, or maybe Palo Pinto) so she wouldn't be a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35000008">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this series!  Entertaining read-burned through in one day!  I went online to see if she has another one coming out-she said her publisher doesn't want it unless sales go up, so I am on the campaign to advertise this author/series.  Hope you enjoy!  Chicklit/Harry Potter for women!]]></body>
