Casting Spells

Casting Spells - Barbara Bretton
Oh such a great book, a combination of some of my favourite things in a story paranormal themes and knitting. Our lead character, Chloe Hobbs is the daughter of a sorcereress and a human and thus far there are no signs that she has inherited her mothers magical gift. Chloe runs a very successful knitting shop fittingly called Casting Spells located in the small town of Sugar Maple. There are interesting characters woven into this delightful story with a dash of romance and a sprig of mystery it is sure to please!

The story is clever and witty and I'm happy to say part of a new series. Check out Barbara Bretton's website at www.barbarabretton.com

What I did for Love

Susan Elizabeth Phillips - What I did for Love

The perfect weekend read. A lovely blend of romance and humour. Ms. Phillips always delivers a light read with great characters. Georgie our main character was a childhood star who has recently been divorced by her action star husband. When confronted by paparrazzi with a sonogram of her ex-husbands new wife's baby, Georgie falls apart. Who comes to rescue her? Bram her much hated co-star, a self centred party boy. There are other secondary characters, Chaz, Bram's young house keeper, Aaron, Georgie's Personal Assistant, Paul Georgie's controlling manager and Laura her agent. A must read!!
