"Amusing bewitching sports romance"
Kira Fitzgerald feels doubly betrayed when she observes
her professional hockey playing fiancé using his stick to
score with her sister. The white witch swears off all
athletes even considering placing a curse to have a
certain body part vanish. She moves on starting with new
employment as the assistant to the director of Special
Events for Pickering Foundation. National Hockey League superstar Jason Pickering Goddard
is out for at least six months after suffering a knee
injury. His adoring grandmother coaxes him into becoming
the director of Special Events for Pickering Foundation in
jeopardy of closing, which in turn could devastate
Anthony's Home for Boys. Neither Kira nor Jason wants to work together because she
distrusts hockey players and he fears that wand she totes
may cause harm to his pride and joy. However, as she
watches Jason actually spend quality time with the orphans
and seemingly enjoy it and his proposals to raise money
are top rate, she feels he bewitched her. He reciprocates
as the white witch has charmed the skates off of him. As
they fall in love, both wonder what will happen if he
returns to the rink. Obviously Annette Blair is a white witch as she charms her
readers with the amusing MY FAVORITE WITCH, the sequel to
the also magical THE KITCHEN WITCH. The lead couple is an
enchanting pairing as the attraction, with an assist
credited to Grandma, intensifies in spite of dueling wands
as neither wants to score with the other. Though the
orphans for the most part are too precocious, readers will
enjoy this amusing bewitching sports romance especially
when the gloves come off. Harriet Klausner

SummaryThe Kitchen Witch author Annette Blair serves up a
charming tale of a beautiful witch—cursed by her
ex-boyfriend—who is appointed to work with a former
hockey star, the one man who can melt the ice around her
heart.
A hockey player with a big stick,
fortune-telling crows, a restive ghost ...
and a ditched witch with a penis-withering spell....
After catching her jock-fiancee in bed with her sister, Kira
Fitzgerald has opted for a new start, working for charity at
The Pickering Foundation. Imagine her delight when she
discovers that her new boss is also a jock. Imagine the
jock's delight when he discovers that his new coordinator is
an honest to goddess witch, of the spell-casting,
penis-withering variety.
Not only do they have to work together, they have no choice
but to share living quarters as well. Thank the Goddess
Kira knows a few magic curses to keep the sexy-as-hell jock
from rattling her nerves.
Jason Pickering Goddard has uttered a few curses himself,
without the magic, at his bum leg, the result of a car
accident that ended his hockey career—temporarily, he
hopes—and at his grandmother who's roped him into
helping save The Pickering Foundation's school for boys.
Jason knows the doctors are wrong, and it's just a matter of
time before he's back on the ice. But the only ice he sees
coming for the moment is from Kira Fitzgerald, his new
Coordinator of Special Events.
