I do love Abigail Owen's books and Bait N'Witch is no exception. This is the third in the Brimstone series and picks up the story of Rowen, the witch that was forced to act against the wolves in the first book. You wouldn't have had to read either of the previous books to enjoy this one, although they are linked and the characters do pop up again here, this works fine as a standalone too.
I liked both Rowan and Greyson. They suited each other well and I liked the way that she brought out the best in him, even though they weren't willing to fully trust one another to begin with, it's clear that there's something between them from the start.
The only thing that I didn't like about this book was that it could just have been a little bit longer. There were one or two things that I couldn't help but feel hadn't been fully addressed. (I don't want to give any spoilers away, but there were things that happened that were just accepted, I wanted to know more.) More than anything, I just wasn't quite ready to leave Rowan and Greyson by the end of the story, but I suppose that the aim of all authors, leaving us wanting more?
I don't know if there's more to come in the Brimstone Inc series or not, I'd certainly be keen to read more.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Rowan is more than a witch, her powers are numerous and strong, which is what got her into trouble in the first place. Having been raised by a demon she’s unfamiliar with the rules of being a witch but being a “regular” witch is what’s going to save her. She decides to hide in plain sight and takes a job as a nanny to thirteen year old triplets who’s father Greyson is unknowingly looking for Rowan. As a hunter and high ranking warlock Greyson is as by the book as one can be but Rowan’s “Mary Poppins” attitude throws all their lives for a whirl and Greyson learns that maybe unwinding a bit and having fun could be the answer they’re all looking for. Their relationship is a slow burn with more of a friendship at first, but along the way they can’t deny their attraction. This book has a mix of humor, heat, action and a twist of the paranormal making it a nice quick read (I couldn’t put it down). This is book two in the series and while it is an individual book to really understand you should read book one. 5 stars. I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.

In the first book of this series, Rowan McAuliffe was forced to do some pretty horrible things for a werewolf including trying to kill the main characters of that book and the second. So the Mage High Council has sent a Witch Hunter after her. The mysterious Delilah sends Rowan to the witch hunter's house so that she can hide right under his nose while she plays nanny to his magical triplets.
For a shorter book (novella-sized?) there was a lot packed in. This book could have been better served by making it a bit longer and writing more about some of the connections. There are a lot of things that are explained by "Well... because magic." Why Rowan was tied to the werewolf in the first place, more about the triplet's magic. Major parts of the story were explained with one or two sentences instead of paragraphs or even chapters. It was fast, fun, and fluffy and can be enjoyable if you don't mind major plot points being skipped over. If you can get it for the advertised price of $0.99 it is definitely worth it.

Two and a half stars

OMG, I loved this book! Fun and entertaining, the author drew me right into the world of witchcraft that she created. Rowan is a wonderful character that made me care about her and her circumstances. Add in the mysterious Grey plus his triplets, and I couldn't put this book down.

If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. I felt invested in the characters and their story and found myself wanting them to get their HEA ending. The author is one of my favorites and this book is why. Put it at the top of your TBR list.
