Dance Upon the Air by Nora Roberts

She had a power inside her that ran like silver. And love that glowed warm gold.
On the Island of Three Sisters the residents know three things:
* the island was named for three witches
* those witches walk amongst them today
* their magic is practical, safe, and enjoyed by most
I love how Roberts took a spin on the witches troupe but made it almost normal. People know there are witches living near them, they go to them for help when in a bind, and they love and trust them. It’s almost like they’re not ‘witches’ at all just extremely charismatic females who have certain talents. Roberts describes them as the type who use crystals, cauldrons, herbs, wands, candles, ritual knifes, and brooms to sweep away negative energy.
Nell is a great main character. A woman running from an abusive relationship into the arms of a close-knit community and a selfless sheriff. That’s a premise I can get behind. Nell needed a real man who would love and cherish her after endearing her past. Zach gave her that. I say, not to be anti-modernist or feminist, but I love when a lost and sad woman gets ‘saved’ by a hot, strong man. It’s nice. Nell is strong and independent herself, but she needed love just like anyone else.
The way Roberts describes Nell’s cooking and baking is *chef’s kiss* Just as Mia is a successful business owner and Zach is the dutiful sheriff, Nell shines as a culinary genius. I enjoy when an author sets up a setting and a world by allowing the characters to simply be as they would of they were real. Working, loving, cooking, worrying, fighting, etc.
