Christine (cdunbar) | 635 comments I really liked it. I loved Ian in the other books and wanted him to get his HEA, so, honestly, I think I would have liked this book regardless.

ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ (katyabookqueen) I've not read the series at all. It's the only book in that series I have. I just read the description and it sounded interesting.

Christine (cdunbar) | 635 comments If you haven't read the earlier books, you might be a bit confused about who's who. Kerrelyn tries to do a good job to explain everyone, but some of it gets lost, especially during the Christmas party. But if you don't worry about understanding the background, you should be fine.

Glad you're enjoying it! I ended up liking it even more than Garden Spells, which I loved, so will definitely also be reading The Sugar Queen, probably in July

Enjoy your vacation BJ. I'll be on a holiday of sorts myself for most of August. (Have to get a little help with the leaderboard while I'm gone.) I'll be here, just won't be online everyday.
