Romance Paranormal

REPOSSESSED is Book 1 in Shawntelle Madison's Warlock Repo Man Chronicles. The main characters in this story -- Tessa Dandridge and Rob Shin -- come from two different worlds. She's a matchmaker for the rich and magical and he's a soldier and a repo man for magical items. This is the first book I've ever read by Shawntelle Madison. I enjoyed the almost Alice in Wonderland kind of feel that the story has. Nothing is as it first seems. I enjoyed being constantly surprised.

Tessa and Rob are thrown together when she needs him to help her recover something for her. Although they both have a physical attraction to each other right away, they start out going together like oil and water. The sexual tension is electric. The turning point in their relationship, for me, was when Tessa met Rob's aunt and uncle. I think that helped them connect on a basic and emotional level. Tessa understands Rob's close relationship with his aunt and uncle because of her close relationship to her late, and now ghost, grandmother. Through the course of the different repo jobs they do together, Rob also gets to see a compassionate side to Tessa. She often chooses to help somebody else out, even if it costs her a chance to get what she wants. Shawntelle Madison tells a story of two flawed people who find each other despite the magical forces of evil playing havoc with their lives.

In addition to the hot paranormal romance between water witch matchmaker and warlock repo man, REPOSSESSED is very much a story about a young woman struggling to find herself. Tessa inherited the matchmaking business from her beloved grandmother. I feel as though Tessa is trying to figure out whether or not the matchmaking business is really her destiny or whether she should be doing something else to prove herself. She finds that she actually becomes pretty skilled working in the repo business. It's a little boost to her self-esteem when she badly needs one.

REPOSSESSED is a very interesting and different paranormal romance full of surprises. I look forward to reading more books in the series -- whether they continue telling Tessa and Rob's story, or continue with other main characters. I love the varied characters that populate this world -- golems, leprechauns, warlocks, wizards, and everything in between.

SUMMARY

Return to Shawntelle Madison's Coveted universe in this fun new series featuring witches and warlocks!

Supernatural matchmaker Tessa Dandridge knows a little mist here and a little magic there will help reckless werewolves and precocious pixies find love. That is, until her magical Smythe scroll is lost in her repo’ed car and she can’t contact her V.I.P. clients. To connect with an important client cavorting in the fifth dimension, Tessa must depend on handsome Rob Shin, a warlock repo man, to enter Limbo and find her Smythe Scroll.

Rob has money problems of his own, thanks to the bank determined to foreclose on his elderly aunt and uncle’s home. Repossessing magic wands and cursed pianos from disgruntled warlocks isn’t the best pay, but the Navy SEAL works well as a repo man to pay off his family’s debts. Rob’s repossession jobs catch up with him when a powerful warlock seeks to end his life for his constant meddling, drawing Tessa in the middle.
