I stuck with it as long as I could, but I could not bring myself to finish this book. Peg was not only a single mom, but she also seemed a bit crazy... and not in a quirky, I-can-sorta-get-it. Kind of way. I know Ms. Chapman meant her to be amusing, but she was an over the top, crazy protective mom who clearly wasn't doing her kids any favors with her over-protectiveness. It was scene after scene of of this behavior from her, that I didn't even want to see what it was about this crazy shrew that Duncan finally fell in love with. Then there were the kids. Here daughter who was eight talked more like at teenager. Then one of her daughter,not sure which one, was pretty much stalking the son of her friend. It wasn't cute, it was annoying. One of the boys seemed almost stunted in his emotional development, which was clearly because of his mother's over protectiveness. I couldn't stick with it. It was painful to read. I have read some of Ms. Chapman's other books, and thoroughly enjoyed them. This book however was a disappointment. Peg Thompson has no room in her life for a man in her life. She is busy with four children, and she has a suspicion her family is cursed and dares not fall in love again. So she tries to distance herself from Duncan, who has recently surfaced in her life. Duncan MacKeage comes from a family of magic, however he doesn't possess any. Duncan is busy building new roads since the change in Spellbound Falls. But then he comes across Peg and her four children who create chaos. However he finds himself charmed by this family, that is led by a woman of incredible beauty and inner strength. She is feisty and strong and protects her children like a mama bear, but he knows there is a inner passion in her just waiting to burst free, and he knows he is up to the challenge of helping her let go of some of her inhibitions. He also wants to show her the power of true love and the magic of his family can overcome any curses and prove to Peg how true his feelings are for her.Charmed By His Love is the second in the series, and after just loving the first one I had a lot of expectations for this one. Even though I really enjoyed it, I didn't exactly fall in love with everything that happens. It took a bit of time to get fully into it, but once I did, it was almost near impossible to put down. I found myself charmed by this story, and even though the whole "Curse" thing really didn't fly with me, I found the rest of the story enchanting. I really loved Duncan, who is a ' he man', but I also loved the way he was around Peg. She is what you would call feisty and stubborn, but Duncan handles her really well. I found this to be such a fun read, with witty humor, and a sweet romance that will charm any reader. A Delight to read!!! Looking forward to reading more from this series.....
