A review by katherinew
Laced with Magic by Barbara Bretton

3.0

I put down my dystopian novel because I thought that the world was a bit stressful and unpredictable, and I could do with something lighter. This was a fun story that gave me a few laughs. However, it also contained a very bizarrely placed and really bad sex scene. I would like to request that no author ever uses the word "shaft" in a sex scene again. I felt like Barbara Bretton suddenly remembered that she needed to include another sex scene in the book, wrote it in two minutes, and just randomly inserted into the story. Perhaps her editor rang her at half past four on a Friday and said, "I need a sex scene by the end of the day!"
