Oh Me oh My Oh!
Ambrose and Dorcus Lowell, Witch and Wizard matchmakers, ticked off the High Council. As punishment, they are sent to the non-magical hamlet of Big Knob, Indiana. They are sentenced to make sure an ADD suffering dragon does his job and earns his golden scales. But the two lovebirds can’t help but do a little covert meddling magic in the love department for the mortals.
Sean is a stud muffin in his small town. He can’t escape the sexual advances and overt propositions from any female age 16 to 60. Longing for peace and quiet in which to buy and restore his childhood home, he encounters Ambrose and Dorcus. They grant him his wish, kinda. They reduce his sex appeal as well as his, uhm, manhood size. All his problems are solved, right? Except for that side affect of bad vision that comes and goes.
Maggie Grady needs a miracle. As a scout for Save-A-Lot big box store, she thinks she has found a way to save her job. A prime location magically fell into her lap and she needs to close this deal. The fact that the property happens to be Sean’s old Homestead can not get in her way. She can not understand why the whole town thinks he is some sort of Adonis. He is cute enough, but nothing special. Until he kisses her. Then she feels the magic and the sizzle. But she is determined to have the land. Trouble is, so is Sean.
Wishing he could fall back on his old charming ways to get what he wants, he has to work to prove to Maggie that he loves her despite their common goal of depriving the other of a sale.
Ambrose and Dorcus do their best to convince George, the belligerent dragon, to do his job and end their exile in this backwards non-magical town. They are failing miserable. Not even a coveted iPod can make the dragon behave.
This book is packed full of laughs, snickers and innuendo. I zipped through it in a single evening and was sorry when it ended. Ambrose and Dorcus are hilarious in their sexuality and quirky magical practices. George gets my vote as the most unique character in a romance novel this year! Poor Sean got his wish a little too much and then had to deal with the consequences. And Maggie gives up her job to prove that Magic doesn’t rule her heart, love does. And the hinting of a sequel was icing on the cake!! I can’t wait!
