Never Been Witched: Review

(Triplet Witch Trilogy, Book 3)
by Annette Blair
"She'll make him a believer"...
Three's a charm, and the third Cartwright sister, Destiny is certainly not lacking. However, she is troubled by her attraction to paranormal debunker Morgan Jarvis. Destiny opts out of a week in his company, hoping that a meditative stay alone at her sister's lighthouse will shed some light on her contrary feelings and her psychic gifts.

Unbeknownst to Destiny, her sly sister also left keys with the unsuspecting Morgan. Late one night, they literally stumble upon each other-- and the lighthouse's ghostly inhabitants. Destiny and Morgan have nothing in common other than the one bed they need to share and some crazy physical attraction. Raising the dead might be easier than trying to make these two opposites work together, but Destiny has experience-- and love - on her side"...


There is no pleasing everyone 100% of the time, and sometimes you have to strike out. With that said I did like this book, but I didn't love it like the others I have read by Annette Blair. For some reason I never felt connected to the characters, and Destiny seemed to be a little weaker than the other main character's in the series, and that was one thing I really liked about these books. Strong, fun and witty main female characters. Destiny is lacking when it comes to her sisters ( triplets).

The book was still light and a fast read, and that always gives extra points to the book, but when I got to the end of the story, I wasn't bummed.

I give this book 4 stars and it falls into these reading challenges...

This story will have you hooked from the moment handcuffs are brought into play. Get ready for a fast pace book that you will not want to put down!
Annette Blair has an act for drawling in her readers and keeping them on their toes with the fun twists her stories take. Gone with the Witch is no different than the others, huge success!

Sex and the Psychic With: Review

(The Triplet Witch Trilogy, Book 1)
by Annette Blair

Synopsis:


Introducing the Cartwright sisters-Harmony, Destiny and Storm-triplets and unstoppable seductresses.

Harmony, the buyer for her sisters' vintage curio shop, can read objects and learn of their former owners. Now, a Celtic ring leads her to a castle on the coast of Massachusetts. King Paxton's money-pit is cursed, and he hopes that this leggy blonde can help him find peace with an angry ghost, a disgruntled renovation crew-and his own heart.

My Review:

I love, love, love Annette Blair lately. This is the 4th book I have read from her and I engulfed it. I love how her leading characters ( women) are all strong and confindent ladies. Something every women should be or strive to be.
This book has just the right amount of paranormal story line, with a hot headed romance as well. There are two more in this series and I am going to pick them up from the library today... so I am sure in the next few days you will be seeing my review on both of them.
Do yourself a favor and pick up this book!!

Sex and the Psychic Witch gets 5 stars from me and falls into these reading challenges...
Until next time...
Happy Reading!

The Scot, the Witch and the Wardrobe: Review

by Annette Blair

Synopsis:

Sexy new romance from the national bestselling author of My Favorite Witch. To restore his clan to glory, Rory MacKenzie must reclaim a beautifully carved unicorn. His search leads him to Victoria Cartwright, whose untapped magical power reveals a long-hidden treasure in her .

Publishers Weekly:

Despite her best attempts at denial-"I am so not a witch"-Victoria Cartwright has inherited a legacy of magic, along with the key to a mysterious wardrobe, in Blair's third Witch novel (following the bestseller My Favorite Witch). Upon her beloved grandmother's death, Vickie receives the magic key to grandmother's old wardrobe-never before opened-and a promise that it contains Vickie's destiny. To Vickie's puzzlement, her destiny turns out to be an exquisitely preserved antique carousel unicorn. Though it's oddly familiar to Vickie, the unicorn is recognized right off by Scotsman Rory MacKenzie, a handsome loner, when Vickie appears with it on a television antiques show. The unicorn happens to be the handiwork of Rory's ancestor and the key to ending his family curse. The two meet and immediately set to bickering, first over Rory's manners-Vickie quickly concludes that he's "a lack-wit shoddy-mannered Scot with more beards than brains"-then over his designs for the unicorn. Of course, they're just working their way toward confronting their mutual attraction, but sassy dialogue, rich sexual tension and plenty of laughs make this an immensely satisfying return to Blair's world of witchcraft.
Fans will welcome back familiar characters in supporting roles, but newcomers will take to it just as well.

I am so glad I came across this series, it has been a fun ride with these characters. I look forward to picking up the other series that have characters in this book come to life! Heading to my library site now to put a request in.
Way to hit it out of the ball park Annette Blair!!!!!

The Scot, the Witch and the Wardrobe is getting 4 solid stars from me!

My Favorite Witch: Review



by Annette Blair

Kira is a white witch with a genius for organizing special events. When disabled star hockey player Jason Goddard--known far and wide as the Best Kisser in America and a playboy of the first order--meets her, she has just dumped her jock fiance after finding him in bed with her sister the month before the wedding. So she's muttering spells and he gets entirely the wrong impression, and for her part she has no idea that he is her new boss, the beloved grandson of Bessie, her landlord and friend. The Pickering Foundation is in a financial bind, and Bessie hopes that together her two favorite people can bring in new money to support their charitable endeavors, especially St. Anthony's Home for Boys. Blair's sexy contemporary mating dance, set in Newport, Rhode Island, entertainingly pairs two commitment-phobic individuals and features cameo appearances by Melody and Logan from her previous romantic comedy, The Kitchen Witch

Annette Blair has done it again. This series is so light and easy ( fast) to read. You feel like you can really connect with the characters, which is always an added bonus.
My Favorite Witch is getting 5 stars out of me!

The Kitchen Witch: Review

The Kitchen Witch
by Annette Blair

Sedate single dad Logan Kilgarven is somehow bewitched into helping his lovely downstairs neighbor, Melody Seabright, get her own cooking show at his TV station. How did that happen? Melody can't even cook. In her hands, potatoes lump, gravy boils over, and chicken explodes. Still, she's got showmanship, and the general manager can practically taste syndication when her show, The Kitchen Witch, takes off. Even as the boss's daughter sets her sights on Logan, he and Melody are making some hot magic of their own. Sure, opposites attract, but can they last?

A book couldn't be any easier to read than this. Light hearted, laugh out loud moments, and endearing characters. This book had it all! When I picked it up I thought it would have more to do with witchcraft but it just dabbles enough to tie the story line together. A real treat!

The Kitchen Witch is getting 5 stars from me!!
