Summary-

What's a witch to do when she refuses to use magic to find love? Beautiful Wiccan Charlotte Noone has a shop for magical supplies and a goddess who's pushing her to find the man of her dreams. When Patrick Riordan, a straight-laced non-believer enters her life, Charlotte falls madly in lust with him. Despite their very different lives, neither can stop the erotic journey they’ve embarked on, but will it be enough to break through their barriers so they can accept that love itself is magical?

Review-

Love is a complicated sort of emotion. This story will melt the heart of any who may be tempted to love but afraid to fall. Patrick is a loving brother who has taken his role as a father and mother figure for his sister since the passing of their parents. Mary Ellen, Patrick’s headstrong sister is not a child anymore, but keeping her safe is the only thing he knows to do. Charlotte is a witch, the good kind but ignorant people such as Patrick Riordan rubs her, the wrong way or is it the right way? Both characters are equally willed for passions of their own accord, but the hand of a goddess has lent both these stubborn people the chance of finding their true loves. I wanted to shout and scream at both of them, make them realize they were meant to be together. The story was vividly written and I felt as though I was a bystander watching rather than reading. Casting love spells is what got these two polar opposites together, but biting you're lip until you know if the common person in their life can help them keep their heart together or not makes your heart ache for more. A woman’s heart is not something to be toyed with and a man’s loyalty is an unreachable bound to leap if the wall is too high. I can't say enough about the plot without giving too much away. Ceri Hebert maybe a witch at heart as she has cast a love of reading all things magical in her story. I look forward to reading more of her tales of love and then some.
