Winner of 2nd Bewitched & Betrayed ARC

The winner of the 2nd (and my last) Bewitched & Betrayed ARC is Jagna18!

Once again, I selected a winner at random -- because all of the entries were great -- but it so happens that Jagna did a really cool job explaining why Tam is her favorite character.

Congratulations! Email me with your full name and mailing address and I'll get your ARC (along with signed book goodies) in the mail to you ASAP.

For everyone's reading enjoyment, here's Jagna18's entry:

My favorite character in your series is Tam. Besides for being really, really pretty, he is the biggest paradox, and the most realistic and relatable. Most authors write a flat bad-boy character. He's bad, yet he has this wimpy sensitive side that just shows up out of nowhere. Tam, however, is believable. He is not a black and white character, he is full of conflict and shades of grey.

He is a womanizer (not sure whether he or his son is worse) who is after a target, yet he respects Raine enough to let her set the rules. (Most of the time at least.) Despite a blooming love triangle, he does not PUSH Raine. He does what he feels is best for her, even if it means letting his competition get a handhold. (Umiatsu bond, anyone?) He also helps Mychael even though life would be easier for him if Mychael was gone. He values Raine's friendship and cares enough about her to want to protect her, yet he gives her the space to rush into a situation because she feels she has to. He will just be there for backup. He doesn't try to lock her up in a citadel. (coughmychaelcough)

Tam is responsible to a fault. He found out he had a son, and he immediately started caring and protecting him, by getting him a job, and making sure he goes to school. He made a "mistake" so he will clean up after it.Tam, despite not knowing his son, or having any inkling how to raise a teenager, loved him. If the Goblins would not have badgered him to deny Talon, he would probably have done it anyways. Most men that are Tam's side would not care about a child born out of a one night stand.

The part that I love most about Tam, however is his strength. He was a dark mage,one of the strongest ones there is. Dark magic is addictive, and to a Goblin who loves power even more so. Tam realized how wrong what he was doing was and he stopped and got help. Changing a bad habit is hard, changing a behavior trait is even harder, especially if it means that others might try to kill you for your sudden weakness. Tam is fighting temptation and refusing to give in because that is the right thing. That takes a lot of inner strength, and that is why Tam is my favorite character.
