‘Please, mistress! Join the coven, make friends! They will love you like I do, mistress!'

After YEARS of working on Bite to Bruise, it's finally published. I really love how this story turned out am so happy to finish the project.

Bite to Bruise

No one saves the witch.

In a world full of magic, divided by toothed shades, winged rays, and clawed fenrir, witches have become rare. Few have seen one in the last century, though many have searched.

Wren will not be found. She has the best hiding spot, between a forest so deep and dark that it scares even the gods and a valley home to a pack of fenrir. The blood-drinking shades would never think to look for her here. Now she just has to survive the rest of her life like this, out of sight and away from the teeth of her enemies.

Ever inherited a problem. His pack has a secret—a witch living at the edge of their lands. Her presence is a constant threat to his family, and yet he stocks her wood pile and keeps her hiding place safe from the world.

Wolves and witches do not coexist. If they were in the same place for too long, one of them would have to die. Everyone knows that.

And yet…

craving a male witch/druid romance lately. i want to see a male witch who gifts you small charms, protection or good luck. attuned to nature, and the seasons, having you celebrate the solstices with him. the smell of incense and dried herbs following him wherever he goes

jewelryyyyyyy. Rings, head pieces, earrings, bracelets that give a small chime when they touch.

A male witch romance that makes you feel energetic, like he was a shooting star brighter than the rest. Passion, connection, and obviously a bit of magic.

Book Blurb: The follow-up to Erin Sterling’s New York Times bestselling hit The Ex Hex features fan favorite Gwyn and the spine-tinglingly handsome Wells Penhallow as they battle a new band of witches and their own magical chemistry.

Gwyn Jones is perfectly happy with her life in Graves Glen. She, her mom, and her cousin have formed a new and powerful coven; she’s running a successful witchcraft shop, Something Wicked; and she’s started mentoring some of the younger witches in town. As Halloween approaches, there’s only one problem—Llewellyn “Wells” Penhallow.

Wells has come to Graves Glen to re-establish his family’s connection to the town they founded as well as to make a new life for himself after years of being the dutiful son in Wales. When he opens up a shop of his own, Penhallow’s, just across the street from Something Wicked, he quickly learns he’s gotten more than he bargained for in going up against Gwyn.When their professional competition leads to a very personal—and very hot—kiss, both Wells and Gwyn are determined to stay away from each other, convinced the kiss was just a magical fluke. But when a mysterious new coven of witches come to town and Gwyn’s powers begin fading, she and Wells must work together to figure out just what these new witches want and how to restore Gwyn’s magic before it’s too late.

Review:

Business enemies, grumpy x sunshine, magical shenanigans and investigation partners, this is one heck of a read! The story is the second novel in the series and features characters from the first book The Ex Hex ( though I don’t think you have to read the first one to actually get through this one but it does make the reading experience more enjoyable). Gwyn Jones is happy with her life in Graves Glen, she’s got her own magic shop, an amazing best friend/cousin, and she’s started mentoring some young witches in town. However there’s only one thing that irritates her... or rather one person, and his name is Llewellyn “Wells” Penhallow... and he’s just come back into town... and opened up a rival witch store across from hers. Wells is Gwyn’s cousin’s husband’s brother and Gwyn has had a bone to pick with him ever since he showed off and corrected her back in college and he never came to her cousin’s wedding. Wells on the other hand has come back to Grave Glens to re-establish his family’s connection to the town they founded and to get a new start from himself after years of being the dutiful son running a pub in Wales for his father. Wells wants to find a place to be happy in, to find a place to call home but the first thing he comes into town to is Gwyn throwing a bachelorette party in his house... or rather the house his brother lent her. From the moment they meet there are sparks, albeit Gwyn can’t stand him and Wells is equally willing to go to war with Gwyn. Yet all their banter and arguments and teasing is starting to spark something more and when they share an accidental but very steamy kiss things start to heat up, yet with new witches coming back in town, Gwyn’s magic disappearing, and dark magic and artifacts on the loose Gwyn and Wells will have to team up to solve this mystery as well as solve whatever is going on between them,. I have to say, i absolutely loved this one, I definitely loved Gwyn and Wells’s chemistry and they made such an adorable couple. I’d even go as far to say I loved this one more than the first one, and honestly i can’t wait to read the next book ( crossing my fingers we get a Bowen book because he was so much fun).
