I received a copy of Gone With the Witch
by Annette Blair from j.kaye. I was in the mood for a fun, light read and this was the perfect thing. I really like the cover too.
title: Gone With the Witch
author: Annette Blair
pages: 286
genre: contemporary romance
first line: Beneath a rare blue moon in June, Storm Cartwright, bridesmaid, her black hair streaked blue to match her gown, stood with Aiden McCloud, best man, the scruffy stud muffin she planned to kidnap after her sister's wedding, unless he decided to cooperate.
rated: 3 1/2 out of 5
Storm Cartwright is one of triplet sisters, who happen to be witches. Storm is the gothic one, she has blue hair, a tongue ring, and wears combat boots. The other sisters are Harmony and Destiny and they have a half sister, Vickie.
Storm hears the sound of a baby crying every time she's near Aiden McCloud, and knows she cannot rest until she finds out why. So she kidnaps Aiden by tying him with fuzzy purple handcuffs to the bed of his designer motor home and heads out in search of the baby. Storm is convinced the crying baby is Aiden's child.
This book was funny and romantic for the most part. With expressions like 'Withering witch balls'...how can you not smile...lol
There are some great love scences between Aiden & Storm. It's got a few OMG moments...which were great.
...he took to ravaging her lips in a bid for mindlessness, caressing every inch of her that he could reach, nearly tearing the rest of her clothes from her body with an enthusiasm she welcomed and returned.
A kiss like magick, he gave her. Like a first kiss in a parked car, enthusiastic and unreserved, but this was the kiss of a man who gave pleasure, not a boy who took it. A man with experience, unafraid of breaking her...
The one thing I didn't like was that the story became a little hard to believe around page 200. All of a sudden it felt like there was so much going on, and some things unbelieveably came together and worked themselves out too conveniently. The story started off really well, and it was hard to put down, but then I found myself shaking my head in disbelief as the story took a turn, almost towards being for lack of a better word, 'corny'. Once this passed however, I did enjoy the way the author wrapped it all up in the end. So don't let my 3 1/2 rating deter you if you're thinking of reading this one, it's just that the one part was too hard to believe for my taste. All in all, this was a fun read with likeable characters.
Storm, the bad girl seductress with a nurturer crying to be set free, who'd wheedled her way into the heart he didn't know he owned. A storm cloud who could be charming when she wasn't being sarcastic. A Snapdragon, tenacious, a natural energizer, the most insecure of the triplets, and oh, how he liked her.
This book reminded me of the TV series Charmed. If you enjoyed Charmed, you might enjoy Annette Blair's books.
