Book Review: “Thoughts on Books” on Call of the Witches
There are a couple things I would recommend you have handy before you start reading CALL OF THE WITCHES: a cold glass of water and a very willing boy toy.
In her latest installment of her witches trilogy, Laura Stamps delivers a sexy, heat-filled romance novel that is bound to keep you glued to the edge of your seat and eager to turn each page.
Maylene Whitmore has had a string of “bad-news boyfriends” in her life. She constantly seems to get attached to men who seem sweet and wonderful in the beginning but end up tearing her down and walking all over her. Finally fed up with all of this, she makes a vow with her patron Goddess, Artemis, to remain celibate for two years in hopes that she can condition herself to date good men instead of bad men. During these two years, she starts a journey of self empowerment in hopes that she can change her ways.
Three months before her vow is to end, she hears the call to move from Charleston to Columbia, South Carolina. When she arrives in Columbia, she finds herself face to face with Blaine Rutledge, a sexy pagan man who instantly reminds her that she hasn’t had sex in almost two years. She soon realizes what a struggle it’s going to be to keep her paws off of this man while she finishes out her vows.
Maylene can not believe how much she is starting to fall for this sexy man who seems to understand her and her need to finish out her vow. She desperately wants to obey her patron Goddess, but can’t seem to stop her self rubbing up against Blaine like a cat in heat. It’s going to be a long three months.
In a story filled with sweet, sexy men, and hot, wild women this novel is bound to please. Like I said, keep a glass of cold water (or iced tea!) handy, because you’re bound to get hot. You might also want to keep your boy toy handy in case you do have to put the book down to relive some of it’s naughtier passages.
Stamps definitely delivers a bestselling novel with a perfect balance between beautiful descriptions and dialogue. As someone who has grown up in South Carolina, it’s nice to see that she actually puts effort it to accurately describing the culture, people, and beauty (and heat!) of the south.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good love story, hot sex scenes, and very yummy guys.
