Yeah, I should know better than to expect to love this kind of romance novel, as it's not my preferred genre, but this one bugged me quite a bit. It is so repetitive; "Logan is so wrong for me but I want him" and "Melody is so wrong for me but I want her" take up about the first half of the book. Ugh. It just bugged the crap out of me after a while. I wanted the story to move forward and it didn't until the last few chapters. Now it wasn't totally horrible, just not very good either.

Did not like it at all. Not what I was expecting and should not be classified as paranormal.

Melody is charming and disaster seems to follow her.
An engaging story of how she finds her calling as a TV cook.
Logan is a single father trying to get things together after recently becoming a full time Dad.
Great story of how they each compliment the other to make their lives richer.

This book was not what I expected. It really is more of a just a traditional romance with the whimsy of a possible witch. The beginning half of the book was very frustrating to read. It was the same situation written over and over again. The second half of the book got more into the lives of the characters, but it did feel jumpy. You would read the ending of a chapter were the character had one thought and emotion about certain situations, only to turn the page and find that without any words being said about it they had changed thier mind. Although it was not a horrible read, I do not find myself compelled to read the rest of the series.

Anyone worrying that this is a how-to witch book will be sorely disappointed. It is most definitely a romance, but the main character may be a witch. She does have the wand, hat and broom. She also has a father, who thinks money is love, and a need to find a job, since a spell cost her the last one.
Logan is a reformed bad boy who has become a stuffed shirt. He has a new job and no one available to baby-sit his four-year-old son. He convinces Melody to baby-sit after agreeing to find her a job at the TV station. She takes him up on the offer, but not quite in the way he expected.
One very mismatched couple, three meddling parents/friend, and an adorable little boy make for an interesting story.

Not a paranormal romance but more of a romantic comedy. If you are looking for a fun read,look no further.

A Berkley Sensation Contemporary Romance set in Salem, Mass. Good dialogue, except for the 4 year old son, who was not credible. Funny and sexy. Altogether enjoyable.

I read the second book first but it didn't matter. This isn't so much a real paranormal book as a quirky romance. I did like the book though and would definitely read more from this author.

The title alone leads you to believe this will be a paranormal romance, but it truly is not.

There is a small amount of 'is she a witch' & a friend who is supposedly a witch, but really the only thing witch related is as a gimmick for the female lead to land a job as a cooking show host.

Once I got over the initial disappointment, I was disappointed again because this was just an average romance book. Nothing jumped out & grabbed me - no humor, no spark, flat characters, etc...

We oh-so-briefly met Kira, who is featured in book #2, but not enough to make me want to read more from this series.

I really wanted to like this book. It sounded so cute. First of all, it shouldn't take over 100 pages to describe the sexual tension between 2 people. I found myself saying "get it over with!!" but not that nicely......lol

The story was very slow to start. But I am one of those people that once I start a book I have to suffer through it. So I did, but I shouldn't have. I will NOT read anymore of the series and will think before choosing any books by this author again.

When Logan Kilgarven hired a his flaky rich girl rumored witch neighbor Melody Seabright to watch his son Shane he never expected he would find the new star of his stations cooking show. There's only one problem she may be bright & charismatic but she cant cook to save her life. What's the solution, well isn't it obvious, she'll claim Shane is her child so they can get free day care at the station in exchange for some cooking lessons. Things are going great & Logan gets to quit fearing that he will lose his job but there is still a problem, Shane is falling in love with Melody & Logan just may have found his son a new mother no matter how much he tries to deny his fillings. Very cute, light read. There are lots of laughs to be had when Melody is in the Kitchen, with everything from eyeball soup to exploding turkeys. She may not be the worlds greatest cook but you just can't help but love her.
