Randall McAllister was not very happy when his mother asked him to keep an eye on his twin sisters. Magic runs through the women of the family, and while his mother, as High Priestess of the Witches Council, needed to take care of important business, Rand is left in charge of the Demon Duo. When he arrives at the house, he catches them poring over a forbidden book and when he surprises them with his presence, they accidently throw a spell that they were in the middle of at him. He immediately turns into a dog! When he runs after a cat, he’s run over by an SUV which happens to belong to a vet. Amanda is shocked and takes care of the little dog. She gets attached to the little critter and Rand is falling in love. The twins need to find a way to get Rand back into human form before their mother returns, or Rand may have to spend the rest of his life as a Scottie.

With a book from Lizzie T. Leaf, you can be sure of a really fun read with lots of comic relief. This story is no different as Ms. Leaf leads her characters through a merry dance. Her characters are absolutely charming. Her hero loveable, her heroine sweet and the secondary characters give the story life and depth. I really enjoyed the interaction between the animals and I must say, even though poor Rand is actually human, when he was a dog, he acted very doggie-like...ha! This is a story that will have you smiling all through it. It is witty, fast-paced and just plain entertaining. This talented author’s slogan is Humor with Heat, and the heat is in this one too. The romance elements start sweet and end up steamy and sensuous. I really liked the ending of this story. It gave me a nice, warm feeling around my heart. So, if you are a reader who likes a good dose of humor with her paranormal romance, then please pick this one up. I guarantee you won’t stop with this one but will be looking up Ms. Leaf’s backlist.
