Rating:  - Boring
Ok, first of all: I hate when the titel of a book is misleading! If the book titel has the word 'witch' in it I kind of assume it's a paranormal and it is - well duh - about a witch. Somehow this book ends up with no witchcraft in it at all Melody, the heroine, was accused to be a witch (not even seriously) and just went along with it and kind of pretends to be one to get a job as a cook on tv I guess in order to spice up the plot Annette Blair made Mel a complete failure in the kitchen (ha ha ha funny - NOT).
Logan, the hero, is a former Bad Boy who knocked up a girl, she disappeared with her sugar daddy, and four years later - after he got his life in order - he finally gets custody of his son. He moves back to his home town Salem, gets an apartment in the same house as Melody and she starts baby sitting for him. As a thank you Logan checks if he can get Melody a job at the tv station he works at and that's how she gets the job as cook. They are attracted to each other but Logan thinks that Melody is just another dits like his ex who uses her looks and sex to get a career. Melody thinks Logan is an uptight guy in a suit without a wild side.
I thought the book and the whole story had potential but somehow it turned out to be totally boring and a torture to read Usually in third person novels you switch from the hero/heroine point of view and you are kind of 'in their head'. You know why they react in a certain way, you know what they think and you really get to know them. In this book I never had the feeling like I was inside of the hero or the heroine.
Like usually the hero gets mad and you get a full length explanation why he is pissed and how it makes him feel. In this book you got "Logan is mad" and that's it. WTH? Anyway, I never got the hero or the heroine, I never felt like I knew them and because of that I didn't care for either one of them.
I would give the book 1 1/2 stars...
Rating: - Great premise that never went anywhere
I really wanted to like this book. The premise is great and the opening drew me in, but after that, it fell flat. Logan and Melody don't seem very well fleshed out and I never understand them. The writing is entertaining, but I never really cared about the characters and had to struggle to finish.
Another thing I thought was odd - there is no witch or witchcraft in this book. Because of the title, I expected a fun story about a witch. But Melody just pretends, which was kind of like my impression of the entire book.
Rating:  - Couldn't find the story past the sex
I thought the premise of this book was great but I was so disappointed. It is one a the few books I threw out. I tried and I tried but I got disgusted with the sex. Give me the story with the sex thrown in, but this guy's every thought in the book was sexual. It was too much for me and I moved on.
Rating:  - Cute and Entertaining
This is not my usual genre - but I'm glad I picked this book up! Living in New England, I think the atmosphere was captured nicely and the characters were interesting and amusing. I found a couple of errors (Logan is rubbing his eyes from just waking up in one sentence then putting Shane to bed in the next - and - how come the whole town was loosing power, etc, but the news room's computer works fine - no worry of loosing the work they're doing?)....but - other than those small things - I liked this book and will read more by Ms. Blair.
Blessed Be.
Rating: - A Fun Read
I actually got this because of the title, and then I fell in love with Melody and Logan as the story progressed. It was fun to have a character who knew next to nothing about cooking have a cooking show. You don't see that in this society. All in all, a fun, sexy read.
