Shannon Ansell didn’t mean to make a bet with Brian Knox. It sort of just happened. Now she’s agreed to date him for six weeks, the one man she knows she shouldn’t. Six dates in six weeks. She can do that and still keep her heart intact, right? Wrong. Because the only thing she can’t resist more than a good bet is Brian Knox.
Power of the Witch (Witches of Keating Hollow Book 7)
By Deanna Chase
The Witches of Keating Hollow series has been a blast. I’ve been devouring the books off Kindle Unlimited.
I just love the small town of Keating Hollow. It’s a wonderful magical community where everyone knows everyone and what’s going on. Each book in the series brings us a new couple to enjoy as well as new drama and emotional struggles. I just love the light magical feel and the heartfelt romances. This series is full of facing what life throughs at us, healing oneself, finding love and family and friendships.
I recommend reading this series in order.
This was another great read. The emotional drama that happens is well done. This series is full of emotions, drama, and HEA’s. The romance is clean and all the sexy times are off the pages. I’m having a blast with this series and all its characters.
Shannon and Brian’s romance is sweet. They have an electrical chemistry, but true love ’s course isn’t always easy; especially when jealous people get in the way. Crazy fake fiancées, paparazzi, and controlling parents. Nothing is going to stop Brian from fighting to earn a chance at Shannon’s love.
At the end it leads us to another witch town called Christmas Grove and this spins us into the Witches of Christmas Grove series. We meet Rex in Power of the Witch, but his story is told in A Witch For Mr. Holiday.
Rated: 4 Stars
Shannon and Brian finally …
Yes, I’ve been waiting for this book forever and here it is and YES it was worth the wait.
Keating Hollow is a magical town I love re-visiting time and time again, Deanna Chase writes romance with a dose of magic so well I can never put one of her books down.
Shannon and Brian have been dancing around each other for so long now I did wonder if they would ever get it together…lol what seemed inevitable turned to omg will they ever turned to finally a HEA and yes the journey to get there was challenging but thats what made the story worth the read.
Shannon is strong with a sweet vulnerable side, Brian is someone who puts his heart and soul into something he wants…
and omg just a shout of to Silas and Levi I love them both.
Power of the Witch is the seventh book in the Witches of Keating Hollow, but it can be read on its own. Personally, I recommend reading this spellbinding series in order. I found Power of the Witch to be well-written and it moved at a spirited pace. Power of the Witch is an expressive novel with surprising twists and arousing interludes. Deanna Chase has an engaging writing style that draws the reader into the story. I like that the book did not just focus on the budding romance between Shannon and Brian. Power of the Witch has more depth with the addition of Silas, the Ansell parental units and Brian’s father. There are sweet moments that will touch your heart. I could feel the electric chemistry between Shannon and Brian. They were fighting the attraction because of the silly bet. It is always a pleasure to visit Keating Hollow with its friendly and bewitching residents. I liked the reference to Big Brother. The ending was delightful. The author painted a vivid picture with her words and provided me with a good chuckle. Power of the Witch is an enchanting story with pushy paparazzi, a monster manager, a cunning conniver, and a wicked wager.
Audiobook review: Great story. Another bumpy relationship and outside influences make for an interesting and entertaining storyline. The characters are likable and believable. The narrator did a fantastic job!
I won’t lie, I was a bit disappointed in this book of the series. The two love interest characters were just a bit too similar for me. Maybe because I’m more of an “opposites attract” person, but it was too convenient that both of them had high society families that were always in the limelight, and plenty of drama within them too. Maybe I just didn’t realize much about Shannon as a person/character, but I was expecting a heck of a lot more sass and attitude. She has moments where she’s blunt, but other times that she’s downright mousey. Just when I would think that, she’d turn blunt again, yet instead of solving the issue, it only served to highlight the inconsistencies.
Overall, the drama was page-turning, and kept you going to see how everything would be resolved. After seeing some of the jaw-dropping drama in previous books, I was honestly expecting a bit more from this. It was also a bit confusing that the final chapter would intro to another series, Witches of Christmas Grove. Heading into the next book in the series, I feel like I’m flying blind. But this far in to it, I can’t give up now.
Shannon and Brian, Two people that you know are distend to be together. LOL. That bet is everything. I could not wait to see how this book was going to go. There are some great laughs and some tender moments. You want Shannon and Brian to be together but with everything getting in the way you wonder if it is ever going to happen. Famous little brother does not help matters. Along with some other interfering people, this relationship has everything built in to make it a interesting story to fallow. Keating Hallow and everyone in it is always a nice visit. I always feel at home when reading this series. I am in love with Shannon and Brian and can’t wait for everyone to read this book and find out how they end up.
Ohh this was a fun book to read. I chucked so much with Brian. That man is something else. This book all starts off with a bet. That bet is spectacular!!
I love visiting Keating Hollows and catching up with the gang as well. This book gave me anxiety and was suspenseful for me. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The narrator is fabulous and does a great job narrating the book. I highly recommend picking up both ebook and audiobook.
Who will win the bet? You gotta read to find out!! Trust me, you will want to know who won the bet.
Shannon Ansell has a big problem. She she has a crush on Brian Knox but just when that first night was going to happen he ran out of the bedroom like he was on fire. She ofcourse was mortified wondering what she did wrong or if she picked another bad guy to break her heart again.
Brian knox is taken things slow , he has his own hurts from the past but he wants Shannon now. Can these 2 make it work ? Oh and here is just one more problem. A family friend. He want him to marry his daughter or the deal is off with him and his father for doing business. And the daughter isn’t taking no for an answer to. Will they tank Brian and Shannon before they even have a chance? Guess your just going to have to listen to find out! Lol there is a lot more going on in the story but I will get you find that out. The characters are awesome, drama, humor and so much more is fantastic I couldn’t stop listening. Its amazing
I always enjoy her writing
Keep your heart safe from falling for the not-quite man of your dreams for six weeks? Seems easy enough or is it? Shannon didn’t want to fall for Brian, too bad she didn’t get much of a choice in the matter. As always, I’m ready to book my own trip to Keating Hollow and cozy up to one of the hunky men in this series. This is one of my favorites of the series. This little village is so well written, I swear I can see it in my mind as I read. Why haven’t you read this series yet?
Shannon Ansell sat in the shadows at Yvette and Jacob’s wedding reception, trying to stay out of sight. Hope walked over to tease her, however, about the embarrassing bachelorette party the night before. Shannon had been demonstrating a rather explicit act with a “toy” when Brian and Jacob walked in. Since she hadn’t seen them, she proceeded to demonstrate her talent – and then saw her audience! She asked Hope if finding a job in Europe would be far enough away – just as Brian Knox walked up behind her and said it wasn’t and after what he had seen the night before, he would follow her anywhere! He had made a bet with her that they would have six dates in six weeks where, if he lost, he would be her pool boy… in a thong… until the end of October; and if she lost, she would need to pretend to be his fiancée at a family wedding and give him a massage with both of them naked. She still didn’t know why she had agreed! He was a fun date, but any commitment overtures made him run for the hills!
Shannon was about to ask Brian to dance when someone told him a woman was waiting for him. He walked over to the bar, put his arm around the woman, and walked away listening to her whisper in his ear. But when the man who had called to him went over to Shannon to introduce himself, Brian’s possessive thoughts of Shannon made him hold back a groan, especially when Rex Holiday then put his arms around her and pulled her tight against his chest for a slow dance.
With the bet between Shannon and Brian ready to kick off, nothing seems to go smoothly for them. Distractions and constant interference from people keep them off kilter. When Shannon’s actor brother, Silas, comes to town to get a break from his manager/mother, he is unfortunately followed by the annoying paparazzi. Their interference at the worst possible time, puts Silas, Brian, and Shannon on the pages of the gossip rags! It just doesn’t seem they are going to find any alone time to work on a relationship. Will they ever get their chance to admit how they feel and maybe move toward becoming a real couple? And how will they respond when Cara and her father use his business project to manipulate Brian into marrying Cara?
This is another wonderful, well-written story that will draw the reader in, with characters who come alive on the pages. The story line moves along briskly, and surprises keep the reader’s full attention! Grab your copy and see if there is a HEA somewhere in their future and what it will take to get them there!
How had Shannon let herself be talked into the bet with the man she least wanted to date–after their last meeting–but that’s another story. Now six dates. Six weeks or pay up and we aren’t talking money.
They begin and are good together or they would be if others didn’t interfere. Her little brother has his own problems. Not to mention the daughter of his father’s business partner. Just when things seem to be getting good between them something interferes. Will they believe what they hear? What else will step into their relationship?
Another good story about the citizens of a magic small town filled with witches and powers they use every day as a normal part of their lives. I love the characters, the world-building, and revisiting those friends we’ve made in stories past.
These two are meant for each other if those who want to control their lives step back and let them. Are they strong enough to take control and believe in each other? Sit back. Put your magic wand down and enjoy. I did.
What a great story!
Shannon doesn’t mean to make a bet with Brian but now that she has…What is she going to so…6 dates in 6 weeks. She doesn’t like the man…and now she has to go on 6 dates…
But who comes for a visit but Shannon’s brother Silas, from LA, trying to get away from his mother/manager…which doesn’t go well for Keating Hollow.
Paparazzi show up at the worst time and Shannon, Silas and Brian are dragged into gossip rags!
What happens to Shannon and Brian’s date? Do they have the other 6?
What about Silas? Does his mother let him have the break he needs from acting? Who is Cara and what does she have to do with Brian?
You must read this book and series…highly recommend
A fast and easy read. The characters are well written and Ms Chase has a way of making you care what happens to the folks in her books. Always a few surprises here and there though. Good story. Very “Hallmark Movie” like – but better. I’m ready for the next book in this series.
I’ve come to expect a tender romance from this author, and this book didn’t disappoint. Shannon and Brian’s romance was easy, and they seemed like such happy people. But, of course, true love’s course isn’t always easy especially when jealous people get in the way. This author’s writing is wonderful, and I love how with just a few words she can paint such a lovely picture. But I do admit that I don’t like when a few simples words, talking to each other, or just communicating in general would clear up misunderstandings even before they begin. That aside, this was another great addition to a wonderful romance book series. If you love romance, you need to try this series, book, and author. I really do recommend! I received a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
