Just a touch of paranormal...., January 23, 2007
This review is from: Love, Lust and Pixie Dust (Paperback)
LuAnn McLane mixes a bit of pixie dust with romance in this collection of three intertwined stories, LOVE, LUST AND PIXIE DUST.
In the first story, Crazy, psychic Mary Jane "M.J." Barone specializes in identifying the soul mates of people. When cowboy Brody Baker wanders drunkenly into her store, she is shocked to find he is her soul mate. However, Brody doesn't believe in the paranormal.
Honky-tonk Angel is the story of M.J.'s sister, Sophia, who is a professional medium. Sexy bar owner, Logan Parks, is adamantly opposed to the concept of mediums, particularly when his sister wants to contact their deceased grandmother. In the meantime, Sophia fears the return of a man she helped put in prison.
Walkin' After Midnight concludes this collection with the final Barone sibling, Lucio. Lucio is solidly grounded in reality as a personal trainer until he meets Logan's sister, Savannah. What happens when LOVE, LUST AND PIXIE DUST collide for these six individuals?
LuAnn McLane does a fabulous job at maintaining the continuity between these three stories. As each story segue ways to the next, the overall plotline is further advanced. The Pixie remains a unifying figure as does the theme of country music.
LuAnn McLane excels at creating snappy dialogue in LOVE, LUST AND PIXIE DUST. M.J., Sophia, and Savannah are all strong women but Brody, Logan, and Lucio are their perfect matches. The sizzling sensuality between each of these couples is sweetly done. The beautiful prose of Ms. McLane quickly engages the reader in each tale as love blossoms between soul mates.
LOVE, LUST AND PIXIE DUST is a quick read that is perfect for curling up next to a fire on a chilly night. LuAnn McLane's tales will appeal to fans of chick lit who want just a touch of paranormal and spice in their stories. Fans of LuAnn McLane will appreciate the winning combination of stories found in LOVE, LUST AND PIXIE DUST.

This book is the total package, October 4, 2006
This review is from: Love, Lust and Pixie Dust (Paperback)
Love, Lust and Pixie Dust is a delightful, fun loving and sexy anthology by LuAnn McLane.
Crazy has Mary Jane Barone running the "Psychic Love Connection." She hasn't found her true soul mate until by mistake a drunken Brody Baker walks into her store. One look from Brody and MJ knows he is the "one." But Brody is a much harder man to convince that Mary Jane is his soul mate especially with all the unexplained goings on. Brody has enough problems getting his solo singing career off the ground let alone dealing with a hot and sassy psychic. MJ and Brody light up the bed sheets with a blazing passion. Their chemistry just plain sizzles.
Sophia Barone gets her story in "Honky Tonk Angel." Sophia has come to Nashville to visit with her sister and to get away from the trouble back home. Sophia has been helping the police with her psychic abilities and its put her own life in danger. But a bigger danger is to her heart once she has set her sights on bar owner Logan Parks.

LuAnn McLane is a writer on the rise, keep this author on your to buy list.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Another great and steamy read from Ms. McLane, October 6, 2006
This review is from: Love, Lust and Pixie Dust (Paperback)
Love, Lust, and Pixie Dust is a collection of three stories about the Barone siblings, who come from a family of psychics from New York. Each sibling finds love in the last place they expected to: Nashville, Tennessee.
"Crazy"
"Crazy" tells the story of Mary Jane Barone, a psychic from New York who has moved to Nashville and opened up Psychic Love Connection. She uses her psychic ability to help others find their soul mates. MJ has all but given up on finding her own soul mate, when in walks country singer, Brody Baker. MJ and Brody's chemistry and attraction to each other is instant and MJ knows he is meant for her. Now, with a little help from a mysterious friend named Pixie, she must find a way to make Brody believe in their fated love and in her psychic ability.
This well-written story was laced with humor and hot, vivid, sexy scenes that will not leave the reader disappointed.
"Honky Tonk Angel"
This second addition to the collection tells the story of MJ's sister, Sophia Barone. A famous psychic medium, Sophia has come to Nashville to work on a book and to hide from a paroled murderer that she helped put away. Bar owner Logan Parks is instantly attracted to Sophia despite his skepticism over her ability. Logan must overcome his skepticism and accept all of Sophia in order to be with her or else ruin the relationship.
With several laugh-out-loud moments and hot romance, this story is a standout in the collection.
"Walkin' After Midnight"
The final story in the anthology is about personal trainer Lucio Barone, MJ and Sophia's non-psychic brother, and Savannah Parks, Logan's sister. Savannah, an aspiring singer, is insecure about herself and her appearance. However, Lucio is instantly attracted to Savannah just the way she is and wishes to pursue a relationship with her. When Savannah gets a record deal and suddenly is too busy for a relationship, Lucio schemes to become her personal trainer so he can be with her.
As with the other two stories, "Walkin' After Midnight" has its share of humor and steamy romance as opposites attract.
Once again Ms. McLane has provided readers with a fun and sizzling read. Laced with humor and hot romance, each of the stories in this collection provides readers with an enjoyable experience. I would recommend Love, Lust and Pixie Dust to anyone looking for a sexy, humorous read with a touch of paranormal.
