Love the Witches of Keating Hollow books! They always leave you with that warm, fuzzy feeling.
The story of Hanna and Rhys was a sweet one. Rhys has always held back from having an actual relationship with Hanna, someone he has loved for a long time, due to a health issue that could cause him to die at a young age. He just doesn't want to burden Hanna with that eventual loss. Hanna, however, carries the same gene her sister Charlotte had, but the knowledge of that does not stop her from doing what she wants in her life. Or dating who she wants.
This story was an emotional but sweet read. I really enjoyed it.

Courage of the Witch by Deanna Chase is the fifth tale in Witches of Keating Hollow series. Hanna Pelsh is part owner in the Incantation Café with her mother. She bakes up tasty treats while her mother, Mary manages the café. Hanna has been missing her friend, Rhys Silver since he pulled away over a year ago. They had been friends for a long time, and Rhys helped her deal with the loss of sister, Charlotte to a rare autoimmune disease. Just when they were starting to get become more than friends, Rhys suddenly pulled back. Rhys works at Townsend Brewery where he has been working on a new line of ciders. He keeps active, but Rhys misses Hanna. After what he learned about a year ago, Rhys does not feel it would be fair to Hanna to become more than friends. Mary Pelsh and Barb Garber decide to set up their children. Hanna is introduced to Chad Garber a pianist who has just moved to town and he immediately invites her out to eat. Rhys sees the pair together and the green eyed monster rears its ugly head. It is time for Rhys to make a choice regarding Hanna. Tell Hanna what he learned that caused him to withdraw from their relationship or let her go forever.
Courage of the Witch is part of the Witches of Keating Hollow series and I believe it is better if you read the books in order (they build upon each other). Courage of the Witch is well-written (as are all of Deanna Chase’s stories) with steady pacing. Deanna Chase has an engaging writing style that draws the reader into the story. Hanna is a vibrant woman who loves to bake, spend time with her friends, and yearns for someone special in her life. She thought Rhys was that person until he told her that they should just be friends. Hanna began falling in love with Rhys when he took her to a dance in high school when her date stood her up. He made it a very special night. Rhys Silver is charming, kind and loyal. He is in love in with Hanna and does not want to see her hurt. Misunderstanding and miscommunication always lead to trouble. Hanna and Rhys have a difficult path ahead of them, but the result is worth it. As it says in the book “love is messy”. There is laughter, heartbreak, love, drama and tears in this steamy paranormal romance. I like the magical elements included in the story. I just wish there was more of them. I do want to let readers know that the story does contain foul language. Courage of the Witch is an emotional, heartwarming romantic story that is a must read for fans of Deanna Chase.

The Witches of Keating Hollow series has been a blast. I’ve been devouring the books off Kindle Unlimited.
I just love the small town of Keating Hollow. It’s a wonderful magical community where everyone knows everyone and what’s going on. Each book in the series brings us a new couple to enjoy as well as new drama and emotional struggles. I just love the light magical feel and the heartfelt romances. This series is full of facing what life throughs at us, healing oneself, finding love and family and friendships.
*****
Hanna Pelshlost sister died to a mysterious disease and she spends her time letting the doctors study her. Rhys Silver works at the brewery. He’s got everything he wants except a partner to share his life with.
Hanna & Rhys’s romance is a slow build, but its worth the wait. It’s a decade of mixed signals, mixed up communication and wacky ideas on how someone should feel instead of letting them decided. These two are full of life and love. I laughed, cried, and got frustrated at times too. It’s a journey full of love, friends, and family.
Rated: 4 Stars

I’m so glad that this series is branching out from the original core family. It’s a world where things work out and is just the right level of sweet. These books get better with each because the characters start to feel like friends.

This was an emotional book. I don’t usually like the back and forth relationships. I usually stay away from books like that because I get frustrated with the hero or heroine for being so wishy washy. This book did not make me frustrated. I actually really liked both characters Hanna and Rhys. Rhys was pushing Hanna away for a reason he thought was important and honestly I could see his point of view. He was a good man who loved a woman but was afraid to hurt her because of circumstances beyond his control.
Hanna was head over heals for Rhys and kept letting him back in her life over and over because she loved him and even though he hurt her she knew he was a good man.
When they finally get together they have so many trials to get through. But the did it together. Plus add on all the supporting characters from books before and it was another great book in the series.
