Sarina is an accident waiting to happen. Although she is a witch, her powers are useless. She has been hired on at Rasmus castle, but is in danger of driving the staff crazy and losing her position due to the enormous number of accidents she has caused.

Dagon Rasmus, owner of the castle, and a powerful witch, has returned to address the problem of Sarina. (Yes, male witches are witches, not warlocks. More on that later.) Dagon is around 400 years old and has decided it is time to settle down with a mate. Not just any mate however, she must a powerful witch in her own right, with powers that equal or surpass his own. Dagon wants to insure he will have powerful children. Dagon is not looking for love; he believes that if the witch is powerful, they will suit each other fine.

Upon arriving at his castle, he proceeds to rescue Sarina from accident after accident. Sarina is a puzzle. Why can no witch correct her wrongs, and why does she seem to possess more wisdom than her lack of skill suggests? Sarina is not telling, which only intrigues Dagon more.

This story was lighthearted and fun. There are no ugly villains to be found here, the focus is on Dagon and Sarina, and the mystery she hides. Dagon struggles to accept the fact that his list of requirements in a mate may be significantly lacking in some areas. Even though Sarina is seriously inept, she fascinates him. Sarina has her own problems to overcome, but they are not about Dagon. To say more would spoil the fun.

The secondary characters in the book have obviously had their own story. Sebastian and Ali did not overwhelm the main characters, and were a cute couple in their own right. The author does a nice job allowing the reader who has not read the previous story to visit old friends without feeling confused.

While definitely enjoyable, readers may find Sarina somewhat annoying. She is truly accident prone, and I stopped counting the number of times Dagon had to rescue her. I would have preferred her to have been more self-sufficient. Although certainly meant as endearing, I cringed at the moment in the story when Dagon is reflecting upon life with Sarina, and fondly thinks that he will spend the rest of his life rescuing her. Maybe I’m a little too feminist to appreciate that sentiment. It is true that Sarina is not what she seems, but that doesn’t change the fact that she is a serious klutz, and requires rescuing continuously. Her otherwise strong character traits did not match up with her need to be rescued.

Still, this was a fun read, and the book also contains a reference to a possible future book that sounds very interesting. It involves a warlock (a male witch who is uses his powers for evil), and a character from this book. You can be certain I’ll be on the lookout for it. Sebastian and Ali’s story (Wedding Spell) is on my list also. If you like paranormals and are looking for something fun and light, I recommend this one, as long as you can handle klutzy heroines.
