Fleeing the men who brutally murdered her family, Karene Munroe must hide her magical abilities and hope to go unnoticed in the bustle of the capital city. She takes refuge in the house of Malcolm Thorne, a fireworks maker, who offers her a job as his assistant.
Despite her precarious situation, she cannot help but be drawn to this generous and charming man. A future with him could be wonderful, but her past won’t be laid to rest. From a local crime lord who seeks to use her powers, to the hunters who are hard on her heels, Karene is trapped in a maze of danger and lies. Can she find a way out before Malcolm is lost to her forever?

Miss Ridley & The Warlock
Gemma Ridley’s first encounter with Squire Kenrik proves nothing short of alarming. So much so, she considers fleeing back to the city, despite the fact only poverty and scandal await her there. Could those challenges be worse than staying as governess on a haunted estate and working for a dangerously handsome eccentric?
Little does Gemma realize what dark secrets and wondrous enchantments will transform her life at Rook Hall. Squire Kenrik is more than he seems—more than any man she has known. He may be the source of her undoing, or he may hold the key to her deepest desires. Only time and the guidance of her heart will tell.

MY REVIEW OF Mr. Thorne & The Witch
Karene Munroe
was on the run. Her entire family had been murdered and their killers were
after her. The Munroe and the Kilgore clans had been feuding for many decades
and now Karene was the last surviving Munroe. The Kilgore clan will not stop
until she is dead.
Circumstances
cause Karene to befriend Malcolm Thorne, a fireworks inventor. Working for him
gives Karene time to figure out where she will go from there, in order to stay
hidden from the Kilgore clan. But with them hot on her trail, how can she keep
her secrets hidden from Malcolm without bringing danger to his doorstep.
This was an
easy to follow story that I read in a few hours’ time. While there is some
violence parlayed, it is not dwelled upon. The story had an interesting plot
and inviting characters. I’ve always liked reading Ms. Green’s books. Her
stories always take you to another time and place, and make you feel like you
are one of the characters in the story.
