July 30, 2009: Lady Philomena is a ghost talker and Sir Nicodemus Wulfson has a great need of her at his castle. It seems his brother hasn't been sleeping, because he says that he's been haunted by ghosts. Nico, doesn't believe in ghosts but will do anything to save his brother. When Philomena arrives at Grimspell castle, the ghosts that are haunting Nico's brother, start haunting her and Philomena means to find out what is wrong. Philomena soon finds herself attracted to Nico, a shape shifting werewolf, who is enjoying sniffing around her skirts.
This is the first book I've read by Kathryne Kennedy, and I wasn't to sure about it at first. I'm used to normal paranormal romances, but Enchanting The Beast was a whole new world. A world of magic and enchanted forests. I have to say I rather enjoyed it. Where else can a were-snake and a were-duck maybe get together. It was filled with things like that. I really enjoyed that Philomena was thirteen years older than Nico. How many romances are there where the heroine is a cougar.Reader Rating:

April 03, 2009: In 1861 London, Lady Philomena Radcliffe hosts a séance when Baronet Nicodemus Wulfson barges in. Although he is skeptical about her ghost whispering skills, he will try anything to save his brother, dying from an unknown ailment. He demands she help him by her interrogating the ghosts who reside in his family castle.-------------
Phil realizes Nico is a shapeshifter and agrees to accompany him back to Grimspell. Almost as soon as she enters accompanied by her otherworld contact Tup she meets a spirit in battle armor whom she follows as he walks down to the dungeon. There she finds a locked door and a crypt; once she opens the door she heeds the voices whispering her as she walks a tunnel underneath the castle. She also sees the ghosts of a courtesan and her customers. As she gets closer to naming the person responsible for the condition of Nico's sibling, she falls in love with her host; not heeding Tup's warnings that a mortal wanting to hide his or her identity wants her dead.------------The third Relics of Merlin alternate history saga (see DOUBLE ENCHANTMENT and ENCHANTING THE LADY) is a fabulous romantic whodunit fantasy. The electrifying story line stars an intriguing descendent of the Camelot wizard and a brooding werewolf who with the foreboding castle brings a gothic feel to the tale. Fast-paced from the moment Nico crashes Philo's séance and never slows until the final goodbye, fans will enjoy this fun Victorian. -----------Harriet Klausner
