Taking on Tory by S.E. Smith is the second book of the Magic, New Mexico paranormal romance series. Now I've not read the first book myself so I can't say for certain if these characters play a role in the first book or not. However, the main characters do seem to change from book to book so this one read fine as a standalone.
Tory Carson is twenty four but still treated like a child by her family so she dreams of nothing more than leaving her little town of Magic, New Mexico. Everyone believes though that the town full of all sorts of paranormals is safe and Tory shouldn't go. When Tory is spotted by werewolf Simon Drayton he takes a liking to her and Simon normally gets what he wants however Tory is proving to be a challenge.
Taking on Tory is a novella length read with some interesting takes on the paranormal world but of course at that length you don't get a lot of depth to the ideas. With Magic being a town full of things like vampires, witches, wolves and trolls I probably would enjoy a full length read but this wasn't bad to kill an hour or two.

Nope, just no. Simon is an asshole. No relationship development. Very dubious consent from Tory. I hated that most of.

This is a lot shorter than I expected.
Tory is a vampire/ witch with a serious blood allergy which obviously causes her problems. Add to that she has a very protective family and honestly she has no idea what lives outside her town of Magic.
Simon believes that there are very few supernatural beings in his world but his thoughts are about to change when his wolf picks a female that has the ability to pack more than a little punch !
I usually read this authors sci fi romance but i enjoyed meeting her characters from Magic. Perhaps too quick for real character appreciation but nevertheless I did enjoy it.

I made it to the 50% mark, but I'm declaring this one a DNF. It reminds me of dozens of other cliché werewolf/vampire books I've read. The dialogue and characters are just so lame that I have no desire to continue this one. At least it was a freebie.

A half vampire-half witch grows up in the unique town of paranormals hiding in plain sight, but she’s ready to see the big world out there. Meanwhile a werewolf whose existence has been long and rather lonely hiding out among the humans catches sight of a woman who makes even his wolf side sit up and take notice. Spicy paranormal romance when one wants a one-sitting read.
I’ve read some of the author’s sci-fi romances and enjoyed them so I eagerly picked this one up as a freebie to see what she could do with paranormal romance.
The first book in the series is actually a sci-fi paranormal romance crossover and introduces the Magic, NM world. Each book is set there, but are standalones and, indeed, have many different authors contributing stories for the series.
But, back to Taking on Tory. This was a fast and short novella. Tory’s background and then Simon’s background are given and are enough to draw the interest right away. They share a major chunk of the narration, but her parents and extended family also get bits of the narration.
The plot style took some getting used to because the author would lay down a scene and then sometimes follow it up with the same scene told from a different perspective so it goes over the same ground a few times. But, it doesn’t always do that- it can hop from narrator to narrator or hop forward in time. In other words, it was not a smooth read.
The romance was lust at first sight and Simon felt like the proverbial ravaging wolf out of control. I found it ironic when he takes out a pair of stalkers who are after Tory and that was the reason he was even there on the scene. Consent on her part was sketchy because she goes along with his possessive cave wolf routine while she’s riding a lust wave, but backs off when she’s not. She never actually says no so it doesn’t totally cross the line. But, while that bothered me, the explanation of full moon fever was given plus Tory was a strong vampire who could have fought him if she didn’t like what he was doing.
And, what he was doing was hot and lusty. Simon spent most of the novella in this condition. I would have liked to have seen some scenes with him not in this mode for me to believe the ‘I love you’s he and Tory exchanged.
So, it was a blistering hot and fast paranormal romance. I wouldn’t mind trying more books in the magical Magic, NM setting by this author and the others since trolls, fae, witches, weres, vampires, and more live there.

Simon and Tory.
Sweet fluffy goodness at it's best. Short and shallow but made me snicker and smile.
Tory is a 24 year old vampire and has been sheltered not only by her family but by the whole town. She longs to spread her wings (and not just when she is in bat form). She travels away to stay with her older brother and meets Simon. Simon who is a 300+ year old werewolf and has no clue that there are other werewolves, let along Vampires etc. He is used to getting what he wants with no effort and is pretty full of himself. But Tory puts him in his place each time. Not in a mean way, but more just by happy accident. It's stories like this one that keep me coming back to this author even though I find her stuff pretty hit or miss. This one was a definite hit!

Tori is a new character in the Magic, New Mexico series. We did meet her great-aunt Topper back in Lacey's book, Touch of Frost and I am glad that we got to see more of Topper.
This book was super short but it did give us a lot of information within it and it also introduces us to more characters. I enjoyed Tori and I enjoyed Simon. Simon is the typical werewolf however he thinks he is the only supernatural being and I can understand that because his previous Alpha never told him any different.
I enjoyed the fact that Tori was not infatuated with him at all in the beginning. All she wanted to do was be an independent woman and enjoy the fact that she is no longer in her small hometown. Like Cyndi Lauper say, Girls Just Want to Have Fun.
I am 100% invested in the series and I hope there are tens and tens and tens books from the series because there are just so many people in Magic New Mexico.

Took me less than an hour to complete.
The characters were meh. Too much
insta-love. Sex, sex, and more sex. (Though sex was also meh).
The pace was pretty jerky and I didn't quite see how the book was any different than many other werewolf/mate books. The ONLY kind-of difference was the fact that the mate of the alpha wolf was a vampire...still pretty meh. Could've been better but, the book didn't really show anything, rather more telling of sex, 2D characters, and a pretty boring plot.
If you like a very very short read, and you don't mind not connecting with the characters, this is for you. If you're in it for the sex, then you may or may not enjoy it. It was very short (as stated) and it wasn't very "hot" (in my opinion) because it rushed.
1.5 (rounded up).

Fantastic short read!
I love it when a big arrogant male gets put in his place by a curvy confident female. Simon is in for a surprise when he sets his sights on Tory.
Great characters and a well written story keep you turning the pages.

When I first read the description for "Taking on Tory" I expected to be moderately entertained. I had no idea how a 90 page book could be so comical and endearing. I quickly realized that I had stumbled upon a little goldmine of a good read.
Twenty four year old Tory has been lining a sheltered life with her family in Magic, New Mexico. She is part vampire as well as allergic to some blood types. Who know? Vampires can have allergies too! She has been trying unsuccessfully for year to get her overprotective father to allow her to go beyond their small town to see just a little bit of the world but he has refused until now. When her brother, an antiques dealer, takes her on a business trip with him Tory is about to encounter the world like she never could have imagine. She just forgot to remember the saying, "Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it."
Billionaire Simon Drayton is bored. He is bored with the women who throw themselves at him and he is also dreading the upcoming sexual pull of the full moon. Maybe he just needs a good hunt. Well, he is about to get one when his inner wolf notices a curvaceous woman walking by. Now, he just has to find out who she is and talk her into spending the next week with him.
I was really surprised as to how much I enjoyed this read. The characters were interesting and the plot was well constructed. The only problem that I had what that I felt the ending was a little too abrupt and there were too many unanswered questions in the end making me feel like there should be a part two to this story. Hopefully, that is the case. No matter what though, I definitely plan on checking out other books written by S.E. Smith. If you are looking for a short, entertaining read, I would definitely put "Taking on Tory" on my to read list.

3.5-4 stars
This was a pretty good story. I liked both Simon and Tory and while their story was short, it was enjoyable.
Tory is a 24 year old vampire with a blood disorder that only allows her to imbibe in A+ blood. Tory's been protected (aka smothered) by her family and she's ready (aka itching) to get out of her hometown of Magic, NM and explore. She finally gets her chance when she's allowed to go to South Carolina to visit with her older brother.
Simon is a centuries old werewolf who masquerades as a rich human businessman. Simon was turned by a Lord that was an Alpha and told him there were no other supernatural creatures in existence. Simon never met other supernaturals so he assumed his Alpha had been telling the truth. Because of this, Simon is mighty surprised when he meets a woman who's more than human.
Simon happens to see Tory on the street but she disappears before he can get to her. It's days from the full-moon and Simon knows he has to find Tory before then or his wolf will go nuts. As luck would have it, Simon and Tory do meet again but Simon is flummoxed when she doesn't seem very interested in him. The story is short so I wont go into details but lets just say that her disinterest/resistance doesn't last long and soon Simon and Tory are getting close...very close. Too close for her family, one of which tries to cause problems for the couple. Thankfully, the fates step in (literally) and help Simon and Tory to get past the obstructions and end the story together and heading towards a HEA.
This was a pretty enjoyable story. I liked both Tory and Simon and liked how they got together. It was a bit short and it worked but I would have liked it better if the story had been fleshed out a bit more. However, overall, I liked the characters and enjoyed the story so I'd recommend it. :)

I am enjoying the residents of Magic, New Mexico. It is definitely all in the name. When you think you are the only one of your kind.....just go to Magic. Tory is a bit spoiled in my opinion. However, if no one ever let me explore the world around me, I think I would go a little crazy too. What could possibly go wrong when she is let loose. This was a quick fun read.

Taking on Tory is a short paranormal romance. It is the second in the Magic, New Mexico series. The blurb for book one says it is a book about an alien. I don’t usually like sci-fi so I skipped that book. Fortunately, I never felt like I was lost.
Tory is a vampire/witch with an over protective father. She lives in a town full of paranormal citizens. She longs to break free from her family to experience the world outside Magic, New Mexico. Her father finally relents and she is allowed to go with her brother to Charleston, South Carolina. While there she grabs the attention of werewolf Simon. It is nearing the full moon, which throws Simon’s needs and possessiveness into overdrive. Now that I have read this book I will go back and read book one. I would like to find out more about the town of Magic. I recommend this book to anyone who likes low angst paranormal romance.

January 27, 2022i'm not sure how well i like this book. There was lot of angst with the whole, only warewolf ever thing and the vampire alergic to all but one type of blood and thus has an over protective family. i really liked the female character, but i can't remember any character names. it's weird, i liked it enough to remember the plot, but not enough to remember the specifics.
November 4, 2022
Simon is a 300+ year old werewolf and he thinks he is the last of his kind. Tory is a vampire with an allergy to all blood types except A positive and she can change into a bat and a raven. Her father thinks she should be protected and kept in a bubble at all times since she is the baby of the family. Simon’s wolf it taken with her and wants to claim her. I like that Tory shows that she can take care of herself and can stand up to her parents. I enjoyed this story and am looking forward to learning more about Magic, New Mexico.

Eye candy ... I devoured this novella far quicker than I thought I would! While in a series, this can be read as a stand-alone novel. I'm eager to read more about the town of Magic!

Awesome novella..
For a short little story this was really good. I remember how much I liked it last year when I first read it but I couldn’t remember all of it so I figured I’d have a look-see what it was about.
Poor Simon thought he was the only paranormal left in the world BUT little did he know about all the residents of Magic, New Mexico, and the ones visiting Charleston, South Carolina. A visitor named Tory, who was a vampire, with a blood disorder, a witch and a shifter, all rolled into one. You can’t get more magical than that. And you really can’t get more magical than Aunt Topper, with her pink hair and her clothing straight out of a 1930’s African Safari, who disappears every time you turn around. And, of course, the Fates: Destiny, Fortune and Aura, Tory’s Godmothers. Her parents, Charlie and Sophie, and brother Alexandru. I wish this had been a full length novel but the next book is about Alexandru. It’s just too bad it took the author more than 2 years to write 154 pages, according to Amazon or 209 pages according to Good reads.
There was explicit sex in this book BUT, for chrissakes, what on earth does someone who writes erotica use the word “vagina?” I do hate the pussy word when it’s used to describe a woman’s privates but surely you can find something less clinical than “vagina.”
Anyway, the F-bomb was used 5 times

I waited so long for Book 2 of this cute series, I thought the author totally dropped it. This is short, but fun. I like the series and I think there is a lot to work with for new books, namely Tori's brothers, her friends, her aunts, and even how the new werewolf in town adjusts to his new life.
I really wish Ms. Royce had expanded the ending a little bit, but it is fine as it is.

Adorable novella read about a young h who comes from a family of love and magic finding her HEA with an alpha werewolf H who's had to struggle for everything including his very survival. The twain meet and H goes after h like an obsessed stalker only to be befuddled by her. It was funny and cute, only wished book was longer!!

when Smith does it right I really enjoy her, and this was done right. but dear LORD the woman needs to learn not to rely on spellchecker. this wasn't a horrid offender but still. spellchecker is not your best friend. it's not.

Hard to like a main character when that character is way too Alpha. It got worse when his behavior became stalking and possessive. 'Cause you, know that's so hawt.

I loved it!!
I'm hoping there will be more books in this series. It just can't end with Tory and Simon. Please say you're writing more S. E. Smith.

Had to wait a long time to get a follow on from Touch of Frost. This one is a short but enjoyable read, not as humorous as book one.
Poor Tory, wants to see more of the world and stumbles into alpha werewolf Simon nearly straight away who decides she is his. Tory is also a vampire with a blood allergy.
Poor Simon, he has not had an easy life, changed into a werewolf hundreds of years previously and used and abused for years. He does not know other paranormals exist. Glad that he will now have a family to surround him.
Loved the little scene in the graveyard.
Hope Youssef gets a HEA too, there must be someone in Magic that would suit him.
A fun read that I first read in Taming the Alpha. I have reread it numerous times but I am rereading as a third book has at long last been written.
My previous reviews have gone missing but it is no hardship to read and review again.

Very Good 2!
This was a short & sweet book telling the tale of how Joseph & Jonah's parents met.
Tory Carson has always wanted to travel & visit other places; she gets that opportunity when her brother pays her a visit & takes her with him to Charleston.
Simon Drayton is a werewolf & he doesn't know that other creatures exist but, he will find that out once he discovers what Tory is & where she comes from.
This was a very good book even though it had some sex scenes that weren't very explicit but the story itself was good & it was interesting in finding more about the twins' family.

Take me back to Magic, New Mexico
This little town, filled with immortal creatures, is a barrel of laughs, friends, family and love. The mystery of book one has carried onto book two. Tory a young half witch vampire goes on a trip and meets Simon a werewolf who thought he was the only one. Fate intervenes and set these two souls on a collision course even when family interferes. I hope you enjoy the journey back to Magic as much as I have. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great book
I absolutely loved this book. Tory is a vampire that's allergic to blood. And if that's not enough to draw you in, there's Simon, who believes that he is alone in this world, as a werewolf. He has no idea that there are more magical creatures around. He seems surprised that Tory is a vampire since she can walk around in the sunlight. It goes against what he thinks he knows about them.
This book is a fun filled romp between two magical beings that find their HEA and I recommend it to everyone.
