The Kitchen Witch- By Annette Blair

Alright, so I tried to broaden my horizons because of our blog and choose what I thought was a romance about a witch (Romantic fantasy). Sorry to say, the lead character Melody Seabright isn't actually a witch but in fairness to me, it had "witch" in the title so I expected her to be. Instead, she pretends to be a witch on TV which bummed me out.

This book is about a slightly eccentric woman (Melody) who tricks her neighbor into getting her an interview for a cooking show on local TV in Salem Mass. She can't cook- but she manages to use her sex appeal to get the interview and the job. Throughout the book she uses her sex appeal to get what she wants- then gets mad at everyone for saying that she abuses her beauty (which she does). My answer to this? You can't have it both ways sister! She does eventually learn to be a good cook with the help of her hunky love interest, so that was at least something.

Melody's love interest, Logan Kilgarven, is an ex-bad boy with a son, who's trying to force himself to be a stable parent and keep a sensible job. He is attracted to Melody and tries to stay away from her even though he has this crazy attraction to her because she is a bit of a flake, albeit a smart one.

Of course, they cannot stay apart and when a wild storm hits Salem and strands them alone at work where conveniently enough, they share an office with a hide-a-bed, wham! They have a perfect place to get freaky. As if this is not goofy enough, there are more cheese ball lines in this book than I have seen in a long time. Plus, the book is full of typos! Yikes, save your time. This book has a cute cover, and the reason I bought it was because it had a cute sounding storyline. I think the author had a great idea, but the execution was a bit off.

* No menu goes with this book because I would never use it for my book club.
