This is my first book in this series as well as by this author. Although I admit that I thought I had read an Avery Flynn book before. After searching I couldn’t find anything. Maybe it was something a few years ago and I just can’t remember it.
Head witch in Charge by Avery Flynn
Series: Sherwood Witches #2
Genres: Paranormal Romance, Romantic Comedy

When two witches with a tangled history are forced to team up, it spells disaster in this steamy rom-com from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn

It’s the curse of every family’s heir to be the responsible one. My family being the most powerful family in all of Witchingdom doesn’t eliminate that fact, it only makes it worse—and that’s why I, Leona Amber Sherwood, never do the unexpected. Except for that one time I did.

Believe me, I have rued the day that I got married in a midnight ceremony under a full moon to Erik Svensen, the heir to my family’s deepest, bitterest enemies, and now, he won’t agree to a divorce unless we return an ancient spell book to his family’s secured facility.

But on our road trip to return the book, I learn more about Erik as we encounter trolls, nymphs, satyrs, and more. The longer we work together, the more I’m convinced that he might not be the evil trickster I assumed he was. Any more time together will leave me even more enchanted with my husband and that’s the last thing I want. And if I keep telling myself that, maybe I’ll start to believe it.

Anyway, this is the second book in the series and while it can be read on its own I found there were some interconnected things that I didn;t understand having not read the first book. It took me a little while to grasp things. So I highly suggest reading the first book before reading this one. 

That being said, I found that I enjoyed this book. The magic system was well thought out and felt natural to me. I have read books where the magic system leaves me asking what is going on. I loved both Leona (what a great name!) & Erik both as individuals and as a couple. I felt like they worked well together. Erik would get on Leona’s nerves just for the sake of getting on her nerves. That is the making of a lifelong relationship. 

I felt for Leona being the responsible one and leading the family in the future. That is a heavy burden and the fact that her rebellion is to marry a family enemy makes all better. Her family is like the best family around while his family’s reputation leaves a lot to be desired. All of that on top of a road trip and lets just say this book was my jam!
