Synopsis:


When a spell to undo harm goes awry, six witches find themselves knocked out by a powerful spell cast by the newest member of their coven, and things start to go terribly wrong for everyone. Candace wakes on the beach staring at the man of her dreams. The problem? He hates witches and thinks that if he can convince her to give up her magic, the world would be a safer place. Too bad she’s so hot for him it’s hard to keep her hands to herself.
 

SRR GRADE:  A
 

In this is second installment in the Witchy Woes series, Ms. Hasker reintroduces her readers to Candace who is still working with her coven sisters to help their newest member Camryn reverse her failed spells. We meet characters from the previous book and see what changes have been wrought in their lives since Tamara's book. As this is primarily Candace's story, Ms. Hasker structures it so that her readers do not have to read the first book to understand this latest outing. This book centers on Candace's budding relationship with Brody Hollinger, with that aspect of the story more than enough to keep her readers happily occupied for days – unfortunately, the story does not take that long to read.

While Wicca is an important element, as it motivates Brady's reactions, it is not the all encompassing force found in the first Witchy Woes book. In Witchy Woes 2: Candace, Ms. Hasker focuses more on the physical and emotional connection between her two main characters, occasionally showing us glimpses of the Wiccan life. I recall with great enjoyment several memorable and hysterical situations where a number of secondary characters aid in advancing the plot, adding a little balance and levity to the story. Above all else, this is an erotic romance, and Brody is an expert chocolateur when it comes to using his desserts to exploit Candace's sweet tooth. The scenes between the two are beyond decadent in some instances. I definitely recommend Witchy Woes: Candace to everyone who read the first installment and certainly to anyone just interested in a great book.
