Bewitched is a mixed bag of a book. The author had a good concept but included some unusual components. The hero, Michael Vane, is a handsome duke who was once the toast of the ton. But an illness left him prone to seizures that caused him to become a social outcast. He has retreated to a secluded property he owns in the English moors where he endures painful "treatments" for his condition. Emily Merriman has been cursed by a witch. Any man she falls in love with is doomed to become the victim of dreadful accidents. Three engagements have been abruptly terminated. Michael and Emily have each decided that they can never marry anyone because of their problems. Their grandmothers, who are bosom buddies and powerful members of English society, have decided otherwise. The resulting story is a hybrid historical romance paranormal mishmash. The writing is consistently over-wrought. Here's a sample sentence: "Her strong, stubborn spirit had reached through the midnight of his misery and pulled him from the brink of despair, luring him back into the light of life where she had healed him with her love." Reading 346 pages of this florid prose was exhausting.
