Witch Hunters #2
Writing Witchy
Science fiction writer and witch Keith Savage has found his mate. When he finally gets up the nerve to ask her out, she tells him that she doesn’t date. Persistence pays off and he gets her to agree to dinner. But she will only continue to date him if he agrees to her rules. No sex. And no attempting to seduce her to have sex.
Imani Tolliver isn’t stupid. She knows Keith Savage is a catch. He’s famous, he’s handsome, and he’s rich. But she has her rules for a reason. She hates sex and will be happy if she never has to suffer through it again. But when a female friend of Keith’s makes it clear she wants to be more than a friend, Imani becomes worried that she’ll lose Keith to a woman who’s willing to give him everything.

Writing Witchy by Thayer King is one of her older books, published in 2013. It is the second book in a three-part trilogy, Witch Hunters. The books are interconnected but can be read and followed without having read the other books. All are available on Kindle. Keith appears briefly in the first book featuring his actor, brother Sean. Keith is very different from his brother, he is also in public eye as an author, but he is quiet and humble. And like his brother, he is also a witch. When he meets his mate, librarian, Imani, he is hesitant to pursue her because he is not sure if they are compatible since he would have to explain that he is a witch. After two forays into the dating world, Imani is convinced that she is unable to enjoy intimacy. So, when handsome and successful Keith starts to woo her, she rebuffs him. But finding that he is kind and sweet, she decides that that can date but only platonically and as friends. Keith uses all his patience to fit into his mate’s life where she will allow him! Keith is also being unwantedly chased by a friend and fellow witch, and she won’t take no for an answer. What will happen when his rebuffed witch decides to move Imani out of the way and HOW will Imani react when she finds out he is keeping witchy secrets?
Conclusion:
I always enjoy Thayer King’s stories; she is a versatile author, writing contemporary romance books as well as fantasy/paranormal. I enjoyed this book more than I did the first one. I found both Keith and Imani to be more personable and I always enjoy the human/nonhuman couplings. The book was relatively short at 124 pages and like all books 😊 would benefit from an epilog. I have not read the last book in the series yet so hopefully we will get to catch up with our two previous couples. Final word, this book is entertaining with an ample helping of spicy times and sweet love.
Favorite Lines:
Relief at not having to pretend to like his kisses, his hands on her, or his thrusting.
She laughed. “If I’m good? Like if I don’t run off behind a squirrel?”
Did I impress you as Dear Abby
“Will she be stuck that way forever? Can you change her back?”
That was twelve showerless, toothbrushless, combless hours ago.

The spice was decent but there were multiple ick moments. He kept slipping into her dreams and trying up have sex with her in her dreams, even after he knew she didn’t *want* sex. He didn’t actually pressure her awake but the whole vibe was that “Ace folx are Ace because they haven’t had good 🍆” thing. It gets two stars for decent writing but yeah, don’t really recommend.

I skimmed the reviews before I read this book. It wasn't the best read for most but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Magic and bookworms right up my alley. This is my first read of work by Thayer King. I haven't read the first book in this series, so you can enjoy this story as a stand alone.

Writing Witchy is the story of well-known and successful sci-fi writer, Keith Savage, who’s attracted to a librarian, Imani Tolliver. Keith first spots Imani at his local library while he’s conducting research on his latest book. Imani is extremely introverted and shy and after a string of bad relationships, she’s basically sworn off men for fear that as the relationship progresses, intimacy will factor in. Imani’s rule is simple: No sex. Ever. She doesn’t date because she doesn’t want to be bothered with the prospect of sex factoring in. Keith is set on pursuing Imani because, unbeknownst to her, Keith has identified her as his mate.
Keith actively pursues Imani only to be shot down constantly after he repeatedly asks her out to dinner. Imani can’t comprehend why an attractive and successful guy would be so persistent about wanting to get to know her. Imani figures if Keith is true to his word about getting to know her, then he’ll be more than willing to keep their budding relationship chaste. She informs him that she’ll accept his dinner proposal but there will be no hanky panky. Ever. Keith abides by the rules Imani sets forth but, of course, there are twists and turns to this story, along with a supernatural element. The biggest obstacle comes in the form of Imani’s growing attraction towards Keith. Since he follows all the rules she has imposed upon him, Imani now finds herself more turned on than ever and it scares her.
Just when you think all is well, a couple of additional stumbling blocks arise that prevent the couple from having their happily ever after. Namely, a stalkerish lady friend who won’t take no for an answer and a secret that Keith has been withholding from Imani.
This is my first time reading Thayer King’s work and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was a wonderful read. My inner nerd, of course, loves the fact that the heroine’s profession involved being surrounded by books. The sex scenes don’t make me blush but they were certainly entertaining. This book is a part of a series, but I read Writing Witchy as a standalone novel. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a short and spicy read.

I didn't like this one as much as the first. But it was also a quick and fairly interesting read. In some ways, it seems like it was too short to really delve into the characters. But in other ways, it seemed like it was drawn out a bit too much.

a solid read
This isn’t one of my favorites amongst Thayer King’s books but it’s still a solid romance read. I think it ended abruptly and the first book of the series was great. Overall, still an enjoyable book.
