My Favorite Witch

Kira Fitzgerald has sworn off all men after discovering her jock fiancé in bed with her sister. She thinks it will be an easy task, given how angry and disenchanted she feels with the opposite sex. But she discovers to her dismay that while her brain says no to men, her heart and hormones are doing the tango at the sight of her new boss, former NHL star and Best Kisser in America, Jason Pickering Goddard. As the new Director of Special Events for The Pickering Foundation, the foundation his grandmother runs for needy boys, Jason comes to blows right away with his Coordinator of Special Events, Kira, an honest to goodness white witch.

Jason has also given up on the gentler sex, deeming it more important to heal his knee so he can get back to where he belongs: on the ice. After the car crash that ruined his career, his one goal has been to get back into hockey, and nothing and no one will stand in his way, especially not a graceful and charming witch. And if it weren’t enough to just work with each other, they come to find out that they are roommates at home! Both have their reasons for not wanting to get involved, but when love is in the air, nobody is safe. As Jason and Kira work together planning events to raise money for The Pickering Foundation, giving lessons to the parentless boys of the St. Anthony’s Home for Boys, and learning some spooky history about the many properties of The Pickering Foundation, their attraction grows and blossoms. But can two people who have given up on love find a way into each other’s hearts without the hurt and loss they are both accustomed to expecting when it comes to love? You’ll just have to read My Favorite Witch to discover how Kira and Jason make their own magic together.

Annette Blair’s latest witch story cast a spell over this reader from the moment I picked it up. The chemistry that blazes between Kira and Jason extends into all parts of the story, creating a very intriguing plot filled with spooky crows, ghosts, charming little boys, and an adventure in love sure to raise your temperature and soften your heart. Jason’s warmth, charm, and natural charisma makes him a man any woman will fall for, but it is the battered heart that beats within that really turns the ice wizard into a man any woman would be proud to call the love of her life. Kira is an equally fascinating protagonist. She’s determined to make The Pickering Foundation a success, even if that means putting her emotions on hold for awhile. It was great watching her warm up then fall in love with Jason, a man as scared of his emotions as she is. The cast of secondary characters makes for plenty of interesting and downright hilarious moments in the story, all of which help to build on the evolving relationship between Kira and Jason. My Favorite Witch sparkles with wit, romance, and a love so grand no magic could ever hope to create it. The love between Kira and Jason is from the heart, and that’s the truest magic of all.
