***** A terrific romance filled with a wide variety of zany characters, including an ADD dragon trying to earn his golden scales. The story is very well written and the plot flows smoothly throughout the book. In a word: Magical. *****

As always, Vicki Lewis Thompson has done it again with another great read, I have read the entire "Nerd Series" each and every one of them were fantastic, well she has definitely done again with "Hex" Series, Casual Hex is #3 in the series and like all the others is a great read, I find that with Vicki Lewis Thompson books, you simply can't put them down, they are fresh, funny, sexy and just an awesome read, I recommend all of her books as she is a fabulous author.

Vicki Lewis Thompson is one of the best authors out there. all her books are great. Casaul Hex could not put the book down.

Casual Hex is a delightful paranormal romance that refuses to pander to the formulaic plots of regular series romances. The plot twists and fully fleshed out characters deliver plenty of drama while keeping the light hearted tone of the previous books in this series. Anyone who enjoys romance novels will not be disappointed by this one.

Matchmaking witches Dorcas and Ambrose know that Gwen Dubois and Marc Chevalier are soulmates. They plan to hook up the Indiana resident with the French botanist. All they have to do is get Marc to leave sunny France for wintry Big Knob, Indiana.

The way to his heart lies with tropical plants so the two witches cast a spell to have special equatorial flora in the icy cold Hoosier State. Marc crosses the pond to investigate, but is distracted when he meets Gwen. However, their perfect plan runs into a snag when Prince Leo of the Atwood fairy kingdom chooses Gwen to be his bride.

The latest trip to the eerie hex capital of the world, Big Knob, Indiana (see OVER-HEXED and WILD & HEXY) is an enjoyable lighthearted story as Dorcas and Ambrose work loving magic with the usual amusing side consequences; this time a royal hex of a mess. The lead human couple is a likable pairing. They get along from the onset with the strife coming from the pushy prince. Fans will enjoy this jocular jaunt as Dorcas provides the perspective to this romantic fantasy and the hexy saga with wisdom that Paris and Atwood are no Big Knob.

What a horrible, horrible book and series. I really like the "Nerd" books and thought these would be in the same vein...light, goofy, fun. It was just awful.
