First off, thanks again to Rhea Rhodan for giving me a copy of her book in exchange for a honest review.  I really liked this book.The book starts off where you meet the hero Clint.  He has been suffering from headaches and nightmares and is going to the convenience store for medicine.  This is where he encounters the heroine Cayden who works the nightshift.  Cayden is a witch who is looking for her keeper(fated mate).  Clint is her keeper and is totally the opposite of her.  Cayden's grandmother raised her and has been in charge of warding Buchanan's Crossing(a source of power for witches).  Cayden is being groomed to take over the task from her grandmother.  At the same time this is happening, Clint who owns a green construction company has been offered a huge contract by J. Milton Developments.Clint cannot believe that he is attracted to Cayden - she dresses in goth and is not his type.  He constantly dates the Barbie doll type.  The best way I heard this described was in the BBC America show Luther when Alice tells Luther that "He wants what he wants to want" which is not necessarily what he needs.  Clint has to overcome a lot of prejudices in order to see his love for Cayden.  Sometimes I wanted to knock him over the head to make him see the light.  What I liked about Cayden's character is that she never changes for him.  He has to accept her for who she is.  Clint is also a non-believer in magic, but does come from a family with magical powers - his mother sees visions.  I thought his parents were sweet and genuine.I like how the hero and heroine did not get together right away - it was a long process.  I hate in fated mate books where they meet and immediately are together.At the same time that Clint and Cayden's relationship is growing and Clint's business is finally taking off, a sinister enemy from the past is implementing his plot in order to get the power of Buchanan's Crossing.  This is played out throughout the book and a final confrontation at the end reveals family secrets.On a side note, every witch has a familiar(an animal companion).  Cayden's familiar is Nevermore a raven.  Nevermore was hilarious and really added to the book.Overall, an enjoyable and original paranormal romance about witches.
