With two kinds of magick at odds inside her and two gorgeous men vying for her attention, Tammy Jo Trask is used to being pulled in opposite directions. But in the latest Southern Witch novel she’ll have to make some serious decisions—like how she intends to stay alive.

Tammy Jo’s romance with the wizard Bryn Lyons is on hold while her ex-husband is in town trying to remind her of the good old days. Choosing between them isn’t easy, and it doesn’t help that a skeletal creature is spying on her, a faery knight is hunting her, and she just made friends with Evangeline Rhodes—a rich witch who thinks her own family is trying to kill her.

When Evangeline disappears under suspicious circumstances, Tammy Jo is determined to find out what happened. As she uncovers a secret more dangerous—and personal—than she could have imagined, she also discovers that, in both love and magic, you can’t stay neutral forever.

Ever read a series that on some level you hated, but still couldn't *stop* reading it? I am so there.

With Slightly Spellbound we have the greatly anticipated return of the Bryn vs Zach debate... and all the Jerry Springer drama that comes with it.

Oh, Tamara. You're such a bitch. What's worse, is that you know it.

"Also, I might deserve for people to say a few bad things about me today.
After all, I cooked one man breakfast and I'm fixing dinner for another."

Duh! Grr!! Just shoot me.

I love Bryn. He's not perfect. God knows that man could stand to be a bit more comforting and he's got more secrets than hair follicles. But he's not Zach. And that's a winner no matter how you look at it.

Zach is just wrong on so many levels. How does one consider being with a guy that: a) nearly had you committed, b) abandoned you when you needed him most, c) divorced you, and d) isn't Bryn. Put him behind you with the rest of your past and move the hell on already!

I was convinced this triangle would never end. Not until somebody died. And giving what Tamara survives in this book, it could never be her. But alas, one of the men finally had a much needed awakening and stepped down. Leaving the other the opening to propose. Oh yes, dear Tammy Jo is yet again engaged having finally come to the conclusion that there's only one man she isn't willing to let walk away from her. Even for a vacation.

It's now June. I finished this book weeks ago and it's taken me this long to finish my post. That's how frustrated and worn out this series leaves me. Every. Damn. Time.

3 out of 5 stars.
