I am finding it difficult to review this story.  On one hand I think the writing is tight and the plot is very good. Then comes the other hand, this is not a stand alone story.  While most of the main romance is tied up, in more ways than one (but I'll get to that later), the main story arc is left to be finished with stories of Graelen's three brothers.Graelen and his four brothers are witches and live under a family curse.  They are drawn to use the wrong type of magick which can lead to major destruction.  In addition, when the four are together their magick can combine and cause even more.  In order to avoid going to the "dark side" they must live apart.  Since the time they were children they were warned against women, because one day a woman would cause their downfall.  One day Rena comes looking for answers about a set of tarot cards that she has been asked to study, a problem arises when Graelen recognizes one of the cards to be from a deck that was stolen from him the year before. In addition whenever Rena and Graelen touch his magick surges and causes a bond between the two.The mystery of who hired Rena and why they have such strong reactions to each other are explored in the rest of the story.A part of the story is regarding their sexual attraction and this is where I would have liked a warning on the description page.  While all of the intimate scenes are consensual and very well written.  They include some light bondage and light submissive behavior and refer to some mfm sexual escapades.  For me even though consensual and very light, the bondage and submissive angle made me a little uncomfortable, especially when he pinched her breasts.So while I did get a bit uncomfortable, I found the main story intriguing, which leads me to my last issue.  It ended in a cliffhanger.  I truly hate cliffhangers.  Granted the main issues of this story were tied up, but not enough to be happy about the cliffhanger.FYI the p word for the female privates is used and explicit sex is described.So if you don't mind one story told in four parts; If you don't mind a little bondage and submission; if you don't mind cliffhangers then you will enjoy this story.  If you do have any problems with those that I've listed, I think it is best to avoid.I recommend this with reservations as listed in the last paragraph.
