Ilustration To Books Don't Hex with Texas (Enchanted, Inc. #4)
Everything’s bigger in Texas–including romance, magic, and danger! Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family’s feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. In a painfully selfless gesture, Katie had left the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle his demons in the magical realm–after all, Katie just seemed to attract evil, which only made Owen’s job a lot harder. But now it seems that trouble has followed her home: Despite the fact that Merlin, Katie’s old boss at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has assured her that Cobb is free of enchantmen, (magically speaking), Katie begins to notice curious phenomena. Cobb is being plagued by a series of inexplicable petty crimes and other devilish mischief, and after her experiences in Manhattan, Katie knows “unauthorized magic” when she sees it. As this new darkness strikes deep in the heart of Texas, Owen appears (literally) to investigate. Now Katie’s friends and family must show the bad guys why it’s bad luck to hex with Texas, while Katie and Owen combine their strengths like never before to uncover a sinister plot before evil takes root in the Lone Star State. “Enchanting . . . Trying to start a romance with the world hanging in the balance is not optimal, but it sure is funny.” –Romantic Times, on Shanna Swendson’s Damsel Under Stress “Winning . . . [a] smart, snappy novel.” –Booklist, on Shanna Swendson’s Once Upon StilettosBe Specific About Books Toward Don't Hex with Texas (Enchanted, Inc. #4)

I loved this book! Although sometimes I just wanted to shake Katie and Owen and tell them to actually talk to each other about how they feel (something that made me compare this series to Jane Austen's books), I know that tension is part of what is driving the books. Plus the ending was very very satisfying.It's a good thing the publishers let her put out this book, or I might not have forgiven the ending of book 3. This was a great book though. I loved her family and can't read enough about Katie and Owen together. The author's web site mentioned that there may not be a book 5, although she is writing it, because sales dropped of book 3. I think she shot herself in the foot with the sad ending there, but she fixed it here with a lot of entertainment in a few pages. This one made the series worth
Another great entry in the Katie Chandler series. Katie has moved home to Texas from NYC after the events of "Damsel Under Stress" where it was determined by Merlin that Katie's relationship with Owen was distracting him from his duties to the magical world. Katie's boring stay at home is disrupted by the presence of a rogue wizard in her decidedly unmagical town.Though I prefer the New York setting, this trip to Katie's Texas town was enjoyable. We meet more of Katie's crazy family and things
Of the four books in this series, this one (the 4th) is definitely my favorite. Katie, the heroine, has gone back to her home state of Texas, running away from her boyfriend (a powerful wizard) and her life in New York City because she thinks her presence puts him in danger, since she's immune to magic and has been used as a pawn between the good and the bad side in the past. Of course, magic follows her to Texas and suddenly the town that she once thought of as free from magic is brimming with
Best one yet. I LOVE Owen.
Normally I don't like it when an author moves the action in her series to a different setting, but this time it really worked! I know I'm a bit biased as a Texas girl myself, but moving the story from The Big Apple to the Lone Star State was just the shot-in-the-arm that the series needed. After leaving us unsure of what would become of our favorite non-magical bud Katie Chandler, Shanna Swendson gives us an enchanting story worthy of her earlier works!Don't Hex with Texas is every bit the witty
this is the fourth book in a thoroughly entertaining series about magic and the fun they have keeping a secret from the family!!!
