Review: Angus (The Cursed Clan #2) by Melissa Schroeder

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

(Off Goodreads)

A man who only believes in fact.

Even after everything the Clan has endured, Angus has always held onto his scientific leanings. He isn’t a believer of instant attraction, so, he is surprised by the force of his attraction to Irishwoman Maggie O’Conner. He doesn’t trust her, but she soon become an obsession he can’t seem to shake. 

A woman who defies every logic.


Single mother Maggie comes from a long line of magickal women, but she walked away from that part of her life. When Angus bursts into her life, she tries to ignore the handsome Scot, but soon finds that she needs his protection. She knows he’s not normal, but she never expected him to be the one man who could capture her heart.

A need they could not deny.

As they work together, their need for each other threatens to consume them both. But just as they close in on the next jewel, a new enemy emerges and puts everything they hold dear into jeopardy.

My Review:

The second book in The Cursed Clan series is a riveting paranormal romance with magic and sexy highlanders to sweep you off of your feet.  Angus is a scientist and he doesn’t believe in instant attraction so, he is surprised by the force of his attraction to the Irishwoman, Maggie O’Connor. From a long line of magickal women Maggie is a single mom who finds herself in the need of Angus’ protection. As they work together to find the next jewel to needed to break the curse, a new enemy emerges and puts everything they hold dear in jeopardy.

The fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps reader on their toes with lots of suspense, drama, romance and magic.  The author brings the story to life with well written scenes and details that capture the imagination and spine tingling tension builds throughout the story as Angus and Maggie fight their attraction and plan a magical jewel heist.  The strong compelling characters are easily related to and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning.

The attraction between Maggie and Angus radiates from every page and is obvious from the very beginning, but the relationship will take some work as Angus doesn’t want to accept that magic is real despite that he and his family can’t be killed and living under a curse and Maggie has a huge secret that keeps from getting to close to anyone.  The reader can’t help but get caught up in the drama and suspense of the story and Jack, Maggie’s son as quite a bit of excitement and spice to the story as well.

I found this charming story to be enjoyable and entertaining although I do have to say that I did not read the first one yet and I think I should have because I feel as if I missed something, but don’t get me wrong the story was still very good and I am looking forward to reading the next one.

About the Author:

(Off author’s site)

From an early age, Melissa loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book. - See more at: http://melissaschroeder.net/meet.php#sthash.ik2IngSG.dpuf
