Veena’s review of Call It Magic (Spellbound Falls, Book 7) by Janet Chapman
Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 05 May 20
Reading this book I mourned for all the untold stories that will now never be, because Ms. Chapman passed away in 2017. I realized how inherently fickle we readers are living for the moment when a new book shows up, but never questioning long gaps or the cessation of books by an author. Thank you to Berkley and their editors who took up this manuscript and got it ready for publishing so readers could enjoy this story.
Katy McBain is the daughter of a time-traveling Scot and his magic-wielding wife. Seeking her independence, she accepts a position as a paramedic for the Spellbound Falls Fire and Rescue. Prior to joining she disappears for three weeks and appears to be a changed person when she returns. Chief amongst the changes is her avoidance of close personal relationships, particularly her friend Jane, who is now a queen.
Gunnar Wolfe, her new boss and chief of the Spellbound Falls Fire and Rescue, has been dispatched to America to get to the bottom of what’s going on with his Queen’s best friend. The last thing Gunnar expects is to fall in love, but Katy burrows into his heart from that very first moment when she lights the firepit outside the fire and rescue building in the hopes of building a camaraderie between the despised firefighters and the townspeople.
Chaperoned by a three young boys, one of whom sees and converses with angels, this is a charming story that reconnects readers to some of the beloved characters from previous books in the series. You’ll get a few laughs from Katy’s misunderstanding of Gunnar’s magical background and her meeting with his charming researcher and aunt.
A must read for fans of Janet Chapman.
Grade: A
Summary:
Welcome back to Spellbound Falls, Maine—where love is the greatest magic of all…
Katy MacBain moved to Spellbound Falls with secrets she plans to keep. The newest member of the Fire and Rescue Team, she disappeared for three weeks before arriving on the job. She doesn’t understand why Gunnar Wolfe—the town’s interim fire chief and her boss—seems determined to uncover the truth of what happened to her during that time. Or why she’s more attracted to him than she’s ever been to any other man.
A confident firefighter, Gunnar Wolfe doesn’t give up—and he’s resolved to find out what’s wrong with the mysterious and beautiful Katy. Since she is the newest member of his team, he’s naturally protective of her, but he’s surprised to find himself captivated by the tenacious and talented woman who is so…magical.
