Spirit of the Witch by Deanna Chase is the third bewitching tale in Witches of Keating Hollow series. Yvette Townsend is shocked when she walks into her bookstore, Hollow Books and finds her one night stand inside. It turns out that Jacob Burton is her new business partner and he has a host of new ideas for the store. Yvette was forced to get a business partner after her husband told her he was gay, that he wanted a divorce and for her to buy out his share of the bookstore. Yvette, as well as Jacob, want to keep their business relationship professional, but there is no denying the chemistry between them. Jacob moved to Keating Hollow after finding his fiancé and business partner in the arms of his best friend. He does not want to make the same mistake, but Yvette is hard to resist. The pair need to find a way to work together to make Hollow Books a success. As time passes, Jacob and Yvette become friends and decide to try a personal relationship. But then something unexpected happens that could tear them apart. Come along to Keating Hollow to see what happens between Yvette and Jacob in this enchanting tale.

I believe it is best to read the Witches of Keating Hollow series in order. Each book involves a different Townsend sister along with the citizens of Keating Hollow and the extended Townend clan. I found the book to be well-written and with a nice steady pace. Deanna Chase has an engaging writing style that draws the reader into the story. Spirit of the Witch has romance, family, love, magic and humor. Yvette is a smart and sexy woman who has had her heart broken. It does not help that she keeps seeing her ex-husband, Isaac around town with his new boyfriend, Jake. Jacob is handsome man with a charming way about him. He has some good ideas to help boost sales for Hollow Books, but can he convince Yvette? The Townsend girls are keeping a close eye on their father, Lincoln who has been diagnosed with cancer. I like that we get to catch up with the other Townsend sisters to see how they are faring. My rating for Spirit of the Witch is 4 out of 5 stars. Spirit of the Witch is a romantic tale that will charm you until the very last page. ( )
