I got this book because the first one Blonde with a Wand was one of the first I bought on my Kindle and I loved it!! I am a big fan of Vicki to begin with so I had high hopes for this novel. I shouldn't have built it up in my head so much because I was disappointed. First off, there was no real sense of the characters falling in love so much as falling into bed thanks to the adoration elixir that Lily made. Second it's really hard to not want to shake Lily because she used magic for her own selfish reasons to get Griffin to like her. At least with the other book it was a simple mistake that cast the spell but Lily did this intentionally. Plus the ending felt really thrown together and kinda felt like you ran into a brick wall. Cute enough but not as good as the first and defintely not one of Vicki's better novels. Read it if nothing else to see how the other sister is if you've read the first one but don't set your hopes too high.

Bartender Lily Revere is every bit as untamed a witch as her sister, Anica, is by-the-book. Normally this isn’t a problem, but with Anica’s engagement party fast approaching and Lily’s parents coming into town for the party, the wilder Revere sister has a plan to impress their parents.
Unfortunately for human Griffin Taylor, the man Lily has been lusting after, that plan includes him. Griffin is a divorce lawyer whose childhood and chosen vocation have warned him to go with his head, not his…gut...when it comes to love. Then when Lily slips an adoration elixir into his drink, all of Griffin’s inhibitions are stripped away when it comes to Lily. The two seem perfect together, but are Griffin’s feelings for Lily real, or just the result of some potent magic?
Love potions never go well for the creator or the object of their affections. Yet while things get a little crazy for Lily and Griffin, it’s pure fun for readers who are along for the ride. Lily is a lovable, free-spirited, and yes, charming heroine. Her bright spirit is infectious, endearing her to the reader even when she does some less-than-noble things (i.e.: pouring an adoration elixir into Griffin’s drink). Griffin, despite his reservations, is actually as perfect for Lily as she for him. He was an utterly delicious hero and things definitely got hot when he and Lily were together.
Chick with a Charm is the second delightful installment in Vicki Lewis Thompson’s Babes on Brooms series and it’s the perfect follow-up to Blonde with a Wand. Readers new to this series need not fear they’ll be missing anything if they read Chick with a Charm first. Each book fully stands on its own. I absolutely love this series and hope Ms. Thompson has another Babes on Brooms novel coming soon!

it is a quick read not too much depth, garden variety romance with a bit of witchcraft thrown in

It was hard to get attached to this book for its first half because, while the writing style was both quirky and fun, there was too much pointless sex. I didn't know the characters long enough to invest excitement in their bedroom play...and too much sex without enough story and action becomes dull fast. The book finally started taking off with actual story though, and it had saving graces of being genuinely amusing, cute without sappy, a unique formula plot-wise, and a genuinely "magical" happy ending. When it was over and done with I felt great for having read it, even if during the first part it was too easy to put it down and forget about it. The writing style is great, talented author, so I will keep trying more of her stuff.

Lily just wants an acceptable date for her sister's engagement party. Unfortunately the lawyer she has in mind is not taking the bait. Magic to the rescue. With a magical Harvey Wallbanger, she ensures he will adore her. What could possibly go wrong?

Paranormal romance trash - and I like it! I hope there is third book in the works!

This was a cute fun sexy book to read. Its hard to find a good interesting book about witches, usually the magic doesn't come across well on the written page then most books these days are about vamps. So I was please at well this was written and how much I enjoyed it. The scenes really flow well together. It didn't seem as if they were just trying to make it to the next sex scene it was truly a good plot and story. The only disappointment was with the ending. I felt it all came together to quickly. But over all it an enjoyable read.
