After being promoted to assistant to the CEO, Katie is working with Merlin as a boss (yes, that Merlin). She's given even more responsibility after the research department has an internal break-in and everyone in the company is a suspected spy.
Outside of work, Katie is desperately trying to have a normal non-magical life. She's dating Ethan, a corporate lawyer, and she's crushing on Owen, a powerful wizard at MSI. She's avoiding Phelan Idris, the arch nemesis of MSI, who sells spells to businesses for scamming regular humans. As if life wasn't complicated enough, her parents decide to visit for Thanksgiving, and Katie's magical immunity goes on the blink in the middle of her espionage investigation. How can she trap magical spies if she's caught in their illusions?
Although ONCE UPON STILETTOS is a sequel to ENCHANTED, INC., this quirky, lighthearted romance stands alone as an amusing big-city caper. If Harry Potter took a vacation to New York City, he'd fit right in to the magical realm created by Ms. Swendson, where the good magicians work to protect innocent humans from the effects of those who'd use their magical powers for evil. Katie's descriptions of her magical immunity and the hilarious consequences when she begins to fall for spells and enchantments make this fantasy romance seem almost believable and satisfying.
Book Summary
When we left Katie at the end of Enchanted, Inc., she had helped her new employers, Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc. defeat Phelan Idris, a rogue wizard intent on stealing spells. By her side, and leading the battle, was hunky wizard Owen. Katie and Owen are still fighting their attraction to each other in Shanna Swendson’s hilarious and charming sequel Once Upon Stilettos, but first they have to track down a corporate spy before the company dissolves into paranoia. Then at the worst possible time, Katie's immunity to magic goes on the blink. At least she's having better luck in her social life, with men falling at her feet everywhere she goes. Has she really become that irresistible, or is it the new red shoes she felt compelled to buy? Polish your fairy wings, put on your magic shoes, click your heels three times, and join Shanna Swendson for a romantic romp amidst fairies, goblins, wizards and gargoyles.
