Description:
The last thing MI6 agent Eli Morgan expected was Pleiades witch Avery Donovan showing up to “rescue” him. Turns out she’s his biggest threat when an unexpected love spell hits them. Now he can’t keep his hands off the woman he vowed never to touch.
But something evil fights to posses Eli’s soul. The only one who can truly save him is his soulmate. Can’t be Avery. What they feel is spell-induced. Or is it?

 

Review:

One Night with a Witch by Zoe Forward is the 5th book in her Keepers of the Veil series. This series revolves around the seven Plelades witches, their destined mates who protect them and the enemies out to kill them.  With that being said, One Night with a Witch reads very well as a standalone, though I do recommend that you read the earlier books to get to know the previous characters and enjoy the stories.

Eli Morgan, our hero, is an agent and guardian, who will protect the Plelades.  Eli has always had a thing for our heroine, Avery Donavan, and one of the Pledades witches; but he knows she is not destined for him, despite his feelings.  

Avery is sent by her other witches to check on Eli, who is on a mission, because of a vision.  Her and Eli fight off their attraction, but a love spell forces them to succumb to their true feelings.  Eli pulls away afterwards, knowing no matter what, he cannot continue with Avery, as she is off limits.  But true love will never let go.  However, Eli on assignment finds himself in a horror situation, as he is infected by a necromancer, who takes over his body and mind. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot get rid of the ghost controlling him, and their mission is to kill Merck (our last book hero) and Shannon (a Pledades witch and last book heroine).

What follows is an exciting adventure, where Avery, Merck, Eli’s brother, and some of the Plelades witches try to find a way to save Eli.  Avery will work hard with Merck to try and alter the spell.  I did love Avery, as she was a strong, independent witch, but also knowing that she loved Eli; as they really were great together.  Will Merck and Avery be able to save Eli?   If so, will Avery be able to convince Eli that their love for each other was destined.

I do not want to give spoilers, as saying too much more could ruin it for you.  One Night with the Witch is a very exciting adventure that will hold you on the edge of your seat.  Zoe Forward once again does a great job continuing the flow of this series of the witches. This is a fun exciting series, which I wholly recommend.

Review:

Hooked on a Witch by Zoe Forward is the 4th book in her Keepers of the Veil series. . This series revolves around the seven Plelades witches, their destined mates who protect them and the enemies out to kill them.  Hooked on a Witch reads very well as a standalone, though I suggest you read the earlier books to it is get to know the previous characters.

We met our heroine, Shannon, in the last book.  She is one of those seven Plelades Witches, and Shannon finds herself in trouble.  A goddess wants a Poseidon’s Trident, which she claims Shannon has stolen, and will have her minions kill for it.  But Shannon has no idea where it is, and is determined to find it to help save her and the other witches. 

Enter Jason Merck, a witch hunter, whose job is fight evil. Jason knows that Shannon isn’t evil, but he wants to know why she is in town, and what does she know about the missing relic.  Shannon needs help, and despite not trusting Jason, she knows he is the only one who can help her. Both Jason and Shannon are attracted to each other, and their family or friends are not happy with them working together.  In time their slow build romance will heat up and they made a scorching couple. But what is their future, when the gods and goddess are making their life a dangerous game.

What follows is an exciting adventure, where Shannon and Merck not only face against a goddess, but an evil witch who will stop at nothing to get Poseidon Trident; which she expects to gain all the powers the Trident has.  Merck must also deal with Shannon’s father who thinks he is evil and dangerous to Shannon, and to his own father, Poseidon. Merck will slowly gain the trust of Shannon’s father and team when he saves them from sure death, but all could be lost when he comes up against Anais, the evil witch who stole the souls of 7 other Plelades witches.  Will Shannon & Merck survive? Will Merck ever meet his real father?

You will need to read this book to find out. To tell too much more would be spoilers, but this is a very exciting adventure that will hold you on the edge of your seat.  Zoe Forward once again does a great job continuing the flow of this series of the witches. This is a fun exciting series, which I wholly recommend.

Description:
Pleiades witch Jennifer Marcos is certain that the host of Extreme Survivor is her soulmate. All she has to do is find a fake boyfriend, get on the show, and voila! She’ll have her destiny. Unfortunately, she has to rely on ex-Russian spy Nikolai Jovec’s six-foot-something of gorgeous, infuriating hotness. To make matters worse, the electric attraction between Jen and Nikolai is hotter than ever. But the only way Nikolai can protect Jen is by hiding the identity of her true Destined…him.

 

 

Review:

Playing the Witch’s Game by Zoe Forward is the 3rd book in her Keepers of the Veil series. This series revolves around the seven Pleiades witches, their destined mates who protect them, and the evil that is out to kill them. It reads very well as a standalone, though it is always better to get to know the previous characters in the earlier books.

Jen Marcos is our heroine, a Pleiades witch, who thinks she knows who her destined mate is. She has to participate in a TV reality show, Extreme Survivor, because her boyfriend is the host. Nik Jovec is our hero, and Alexi ‘s (previous hero) brother. Nik will be approached by Jen to be her partner in this dangerous game, and at first he refuses. But Nik feels his attraction to Jen, and knows that she may be his mate, and despite his fears for her survival, and her insistence to participate, he agrees to help. At the same time, Nik does not tell her that the man she thinks is her mate is not, that it is him.

As this game begins, they are met with danger at every step. It is very exciting and tense. On occasion, Jen will secretly transport them to another dimension, to help them recuperate, and in those moments their relationship heats up. Jen feels her attraction to Nik, but steadfastly refuses to believe that it’s just lust. When back in the game, they cannot quit, but they realize that they are actually targets by a dangerous and powerful villain. Alexi and Serenity secretly join them to help, and the TV show camerawoman, Shannon (who is also an upcoming Pleiades witch ) is also in danger.

Telling too much more would be spoilers, but this is a very exciting adventure that will hold you on the edge of your seat, unable to put the book down, as you needed to know if our couple will survive. I liked Nik a lot, he was not only a hunk; he was also so sweet and protective of Jen. I liked Jen, but wasn’t crazy about her insistence about her so called mate, not realizing until later that Nik was the man for her.

Zoe Forward does a great job continuing this storyline of the witches. This is a fun exciting series, which I wholly recommend.

His Witch to Keep by Zoe Forward – a Review

His Witch to Keep by Zoe Forward – a Review

 

His Witch to KeepAmazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM

Description:
Wanting her was one thing. Keeping her was another…

Serenity Danssaert was already in way over her head. Not even her MI6 training or her powers as one of the seven Pleiades witches is going to save her sister. Then Alexi Jovec shows up. A secret operative working for unknown forces, he’s impossibly sexy and dangerous…and the guy who bailed on Serenity after a red-hot, racy night.

So bonding to him as her destined—the One—is so very wrong.

While Alexi’s need to own Serenity—body, soul, and beyond—is nearly unbearable, it’s also forbidden. He’s the last man who could ever be her destined. Besides, Hades’s right-hand man cannot bond with a chosen Pleiades witch. He may be the one man who can protect her, but she can never be his to keep.

 

 

Review:

His Witch to Keep by Zoe Forward is the 2nd book in her Keeper of the Veil series. I enjoyed the first book in this series, and couldn’t wait to read this one. I am happy to say that Zoe Forward gives us another fun, sexy and exciting book in His Witch to Keep. Though the theme resolves around the seven Pleiades witches, it reads very well as a standalone, but I do suggest you read the first book in this series.

Serenity Danssaert is our heroine in this book, and she is the toughest of the seven witches. Serenity has M16 training, and works undercover on some missions, not to mention has her own witch powers. Alexi Jovec seems to always be there to protect Serenity when she is in a bad spot, and the chemistry between them is hot as hell. Funny, since he works for Hades. 🙂 Alexi also has his own powers, as he works for a god. Alexi and Serenity cannot resist each other, but both know any kind of long term relationship is forbidden.

Serenity’s sister is kidnapped, and she is forced to help those who have her sister with certain jobs. It is during these jobs, that Alexi comes to her rescue, and at the same time they must find out who is trying to kill Serenity.

Rather than give too much away, I will just say that this was an exciting story that was a fun read. I really enjoyed this book, and loved Serenity and Alexi together; their sex scenes were sizzling. I also enjoyed seeing the other witches together, as they try to help Serenity. So many more stories we can look forward to. Zoe Forward does an excellent job in keeping us on the edge of our seat with many twists, not to mention worrying about our couple, and if they would find a way to stay together. His Witch to Keep was a fast and fun read, which I suggest you don’t miss.

Protecting His Witch by Zoe Forward – a Review

 

 

Protecting His Witch

Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM
Alert:  Amazon has Protecting His Witch on sale for $.99. Don’t miss this special deal, as it will not last long.

Description:
The last thing he wanted was to fall for a witch…

Veterinarian Kat Ramsey hasn’t a clue that she’s a witch. Sure, she can read minds, and there’s the whole “dimension-hopping” issue that she can’t quite control, but Kat is determined to keep things normal. That is, until she accidentally hops into the Otherworld, and runs smack into Matthew Ryan―the seriously hot one-night stand from years ago who shoved her out of his dorm. Naked.

And there’s the tiny matter of the curse she gave him.

May you never find satisfaction with another woman. Billionaire and former druid Matthew Ryan hasn’t forgotten the curse, or the witch who gave it to him. Kat’s unexpected return means the curse will finally be broken. Unfortunately, his libido has other ideas―like how to get her back into his bed one last time. But far more worrying is his suspicion that Kat is the seventh Pleiades witch. Because while he’s turned his back on his druidic ways, he’s still bound to protect the woman who made his life hell…

 

 

Review:

Protecting His Witch by Zoe Forward is the 1st book in her new, Keeper of the Veil series. This is an exciting paranormal storyline of a young girl, who has for years been able to switch dimensions. Kat Ramsey is our heroine, and she has no idea why she has this ability, which she really doesn’t know how to handle. Only her friend knows of her ability. But it is in the other dimension where she meets Matt Ryan, while they were both in college. They end up having hot steamy sex, only to have it ruined by Matt’s girlfriend showing up. An embarrassed Kat, immediately jumps back into her dimension, cursing Matt along the way.

Years later, Kat is now a Veterinarian, and it’s been awhile since she jumped to the otherworld. She wakes up and feels the switch coming, and before she can prepare she finds herself at a benefit, with Matt the guest of honor. Matt has never gotten over Kat, and has searched for years to find her. When Kat accidently smacks into Matt, she knows she still has the hots for him, as well as he does for her. But she has never forgiven him. Despite this, Kat finds herself being stalked by others, and Matt is the one who comes to her rescue.

During one of these rescues, Kat senses that Matt has his own magic powers, as he heals her injuries. After a few attacks, she begins to find out about her own history, the mother she hardly knew, her magic and what she truly is. Matt is a Druid, and though he wants nothing to do with his ability, he knows he has to protect her.

We learn that Kat is one of 7 Pleiades witches, female descendants from goddesses, who must meet once every 7 years to ensure that the veil remains closed, and not allowing evil to escape. This was a fun adventure, as we met the other Druids and Pleiades. But it is the hot romance between Matt and Kat, who cannot resist each other, despite their original distrust. The chemistry between them was sizzling, and we knew that they were destined to be together. Would they be able to resolve their issues? Will Kat accept her destiny, and learn her own abilities? I really enjoyed this story, and both Matt and Kat were a wonderful couple.   Protecting His Witch was very well written and exciting. I look forward to read the next book in this series by Zoe Forward.
