Product Description |
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 Stilettos |

An open plea to the Ballantine & Universal |
As a major fan of this series, I would like to ask Ballantine books to publish a fifth book. Also, Universal, would you make the movie? (Of course, they will, and they'll butcher it, missing all the things women really want in a movie in exchange for what they think we want.)
I am serious. I'm picky about my books, and once I find a good author, I tend to "read out" the author. Books that are funny, well-written, and relatively clean, and with an interesting plot are not as common as I might wish.
Please. Publish the fifth book. I promise to buy it. And my sister promises to buy it. And my other three sisters (for real) probably will buy it as well, or at least bug the librarians to stock it.

We can't be done with Owen and Katie Yet |
I just discovered Enchanted Inc. and am totally hooked on this series. Don't Hex with Texas wasn't my favorite of the 4 books but I still loved it
This series is fun and fast to read. The books are not long and the characters are people you feel like you can understand and be friends with. Hopefully, there will be a 5th book someday so we can find out of Katie and Owen get to have a happily ever after. |

I stumbled across these books at the library one day. I thought that they looked cute. I was right. Total brain candy!!! In this fourth book, Katie is back in the heart of Texas trying to figure out what to do now that she doesn't have MSI or Owen. I enjoyed this book, but it seemed to move a lot slower than the first three. In "Don't Hex with Texas" we meet more of Katie's family, including her brothers and crazy grandma, a bit reminiscent of Stephanie Plum's Grandma Mazur, only with magic. I especially enjoyed her friend Nita whose Indian family owns the only motel in town. No spoiler here, but the ending was a bit of a let down. I hope that Shanna Swendson publishes the fifth book, so we fans can have some closure on the Katie/Owen saga. |

Superb! |
I loved this fourth installment in the Enchanted, Inc series by Shanna Swendson...think of it as Bridget Jones meets Harry Potter set in the heart of Texas! Filled with humor, romance, and a great plot, I couldn't put this book down until I finished it!
This book is hilarious, and had me laughing out loud many times! Not to mention, that the love story between Katie and Owen is one of the best I've read in a very long time. This is the perfect summer/beach book and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy, enjoyable read! And don't forget to pick up the other three books in the series (Enchanted, Inc. (Katie Chandler, Book 1),Once Upon Stilettos (Katie Chandler, Book 2), and Damsel Under Stress: A Novel.)
****Word has it that this might be the last in the Enchanted, Inc. Series!!! Buy this book today, and help spread the word about the Enchanted, Inc. series so Shanna Swendson's publisher will publish the next book in the series. We can't let the adventures of Katie Chandler, Owen Palmer, and the rest of the MSI gang disappear!!!**** |
