Bewitched [Paperback]

Constance O'Day-Flannery (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 1999

If there's one thing Suzanne and her New Age friend Leslie agree on, it's that men aren't what they used to be. Until Leslie offers to conjure up a lover from yesteryear. Suddenly, Ian--a lawyer from turn-of-the-century America--is there. So what if he's younger than Suzanne, a chauvinist to his core, and mad as hell for being jettisoned 100 years ahead of his time.

1.0 out of 5 stars don't waste your time., September 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Bewitched (Paperback)

I am a big fan of Ms. O'Day-Flannery but this was one of her worst books. The concept of casting a "spell" to conjure up Mr. Perfect is a dream I'm sure many of us would like to believe in. Suzanne, the main character, is so negative and untrusting I just wanted to strangle her at the end. Ian claims she is warm and giving and that is why he loves her but I didn't see any proof or action on her part to make me believe it. I love time travel and more "steam". If this is your first Constance O'Day book please read her other books which are the best: Timeless Passion, Time After Time and Once And Forever

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably Believable!, May 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bewitched (Paperback)

There was a bit of every man I know, from the age of six to sixty in Ian. He reacted in ways that were so human, you couldn't help but empathize with him. The way the "conjurers" dressed him, the way they related to him, tongue-in-cheek, always, so if he didn't turn out to be real, they could just blame it on the wine. This book was a blast of New Age high spirits in my mundane, well-ordered life! I have a friend who would enjoy sharing just such an adventure with me, so that made the book all the more enjoyable. Ms. Flannery has been a favorite of mine for years. She has a way of taking characters out of the mold some writers put them in and breathing life into them. The men don't always react the same in her books to where you are reading the same book, just different title. There are always so many differences in the women that you know she is definitly a keen observer of people.

3.0 out of 5 stars I would love to rewrite this...., September 23, 2003

angirocks (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bewitched (Paperback)

If I didn't like the subject of spells and "what-ifs I would give this book a one, but since I do...
The main female character is so weak it's unbelievable. She annoys me, and I (being like her friend) wouldn't like her in real-life situations. Ian is so oppionated that they deserve each other. Every time she has a minuate by herself, she's thinking he's a theif robbing her... PLEASE, spare me, no wonder she's single.
This book just made me want to re-write it the way I want to have it be. I'll call it "Single chick get reality check and stops being so uptight"
