Review: Protecting His Witch by Zoe Forward (Keepers of the Veil #1)
Ten years ago, Kat Ramsey and Matt Ryan were college coeds who shared the most unforgettable night of their lives, one that ended with Matt ushering Kat out of his dorm room after they're discovered by his girlfriend. Kat not only leaves Matt with memories that will have him searching for her over the next decade, but also a curse that has him unsatisfied with any other woman who he decides to spend time with. They lead separate lives, but thoughts of that one night and each other are never really far for either one.
When they meet again, Kat is a practicing veterinarian while Matt is the head of a very successful corporation. Ten years may have passed but the connection between them is stronger than ever. But aside from their current occupations, Matt happens to be a former druid who comes to the realization that Kat is the seventh Pleiades witch the other druids are searching for. He may no longer be sworn to protect her, but he refuses to walk away, because as much as they may try to resist, they're both falling for each other.
Protecting His Witch is the first book in the Keepers of the Veil paranormal romance series from author Zoe Forward. Kat Ramsey is a Pleiades witch who doesn't know she is one, even though she's more than aware that she possesses certain gifts that can't be easily explained. Matthew Ryan is a former Army Ranger turned CEO of a multi-million corporation and the college student that Kat had a one-night stand with. Oh, and he just happens to be a druid who walked away from anything to do with that part of his life. But with Kat around, Matt finds himself dragged back into it all because druid sentries are sworn to protect Pleiades witches. He may not have signed up for it, but he's certainly invested and involved, so it's not as if he can simply walk away from the woman who's haunted his thoughts for a decade. What follows next is Kat and Matt trying to deal with their attraction and feelings toward each other, and how Kat's being a witch, a fact she has no knowledge of whatsoever, is bound to change both their lives for eternity.
I really enjoyed this paranormal romance and found myself doing a bit of research on the mythology involving the Pleiades goddesses. Since I happen to like mythology, this was definitely an added bonus in my eyes. Both Kat and Matt are fun to read about, because there's that inexplicable thing that ties them together, but Matt wanted it to be more than just some sort of bond set by the gods. I loved that about him because he obviously hoped that whatever was going on between them--the chemistry and connection--was based on how they felt about each other, and not because it was fate or destiny that set everything up that way. Aside from the two main characters, the prominent supporting characters have certainly piqued my curiosity and I hope that their stories will be part of the series down the line, particularly Eli Morgan, Matt's twin brother, and Serenity Danssaert, whose book is actually up next with Alexi Jovec. Protecting His Witch was quite a fantastic start to an already promising series and I'm giving it five out of five stars. ♥
