Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

After discovering that her new flame is a cad, just when she was about to tell him that she’s a witch, Anica impulsively turns Jasper into a tomcat. Taking him home to figure out how to turn him back into a man, Anica discovers that using the eighteenth-century spell has a serious consequence: she has lost her magic. Enlisting the help of her wild sister, they realize that they need help to reverse the spell. Their hope blossoms when Jasper resumes his human form, but after an hour he turns back into a cat and vows revenge. As Anica struggles to live without magic, Jasper learns to enjoy life as a cat and how to communicate via computer while feline. Readers of Thompson’s Hexed series (Over Hexed, 2007) will be delighted by the cameo appearances of the matchmakers, and, as always, Thompson is terrific at creating lovable characters in believable relationships, while infusing their stories with sensual hot sex as they contend with quirky situations. --Diana Tixier Herald

5.0 out of 5 stars Babes on Brooms, Book One. Spunky humor and loads of fun!, February 5, 2010

This review is from: Blonde With a Wand: A Babes On Brooms Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

Anica Revere refuses to become involved with a mortal man before telling him she is a witch. But when her handsome date, Jasper Danes, pushes her too far, Anica ends up breaking a much more serious rule. It is forbidden for one to use their powers to alter a being from one form into another. In her anger, Anica changes Jasper into a cat. By doing so, Anica finds herself stripped of her powers. For help, Anica turns to her sister, Lilly. It is up to the witch sisters to find a counterspell before the Wizard Council finds out what has happened. And until Jasper can be turned back into human man, Anica is powerless, which leaves her with some personal problems. No powers mean that her home and place of business are without any magical wards. Mischievous fairies or worse can walk right in.

Jasper thought Anica's no really meant yes. Finding himself transformed into a cat has made him furious. Yet while contemplating strategic forms of revenge, Jasper realizes that a cat's view of the world is a real eye-opener. There are numerous things he is coming to appreciate that he had never had time to pay attention to before. It is also hard to stay mad at the gorgeous lady that is responsible for his predicament, especially when she rubs his belly.

***** FIVE STARS! This is the first of a new series, but a couple of characters from previous novels make guest appearances. Filled with warmth, romance, and some spunky humor, this scrumptious story will keep readers laughing loud and often. *****

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved This!, April 21, 2010

By 

Janette Dee (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blonde With a Wand: A Babes On Brooms Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm so glad I found this book! I love magical, funny, and lighthearted stories so this really was a perfect match.

Anica Revere is a witch. In a laugh-out-loud moment she transforms her date (Jasper) into a cat. Because she is not supposed to change people into other forms she loses her powers so Jasper has to stay a cat! While this is funny for the reader it means trouble for Anica. Powerless makes her vulnerable. Jasper as a cat is wonderful! He doesn't think so. He's really mad but he learns a lot of stuff that helps him see Anica differently.

There are other reviews here that give more of the story. I don't post a lot of reivews but I enjoyed this magical tale so much I had to. I can't wait to read more of this series!

3.0 out of 5 stars light and fun, November 14, 2011

This review is from: Blonde With a Wand: A Babes On Brooms Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

The three-week-old relationship between Jasper Danes, commodities trader and ladies man extraordinaire, and Anica Revere, sexy witch, seems to be going well until an unpleasant secret about Jasper comes to light and Anica, in a fit of pique, breaks a major rule and turns him into a cat. Now Jasper is stuck that way and Anica has lost her magic. The two will have to work together to keep Jasper safe and figure out a way to reverse the spell and restore Anica's magic.

Blond With a Wand is a nice, light read, a bit on the fluffy side but fun nonetheless. The hero being such a self-centered jerk in the beginning was a bit hard to take, and although he ended up totally redeeming himself, his personal journey didn't have as much punch as I would have appreciated. All in all, there was nothing extraordinary about this book, but it was enjoyable.
