Book Description

October 22, 2002
Meredith Albright Rand simply wants to live like any mortal—to make her Magic Emporium & Costume Shop a success, to enjoy her friends, and maybe to fall in love. But for Merry, who was born a witch, that takes a special kind of discipline—especially after Dr. Bryan Aldwyn visits her shop one day.

The handsome but klutzy pediatric oncologist needs help putting together a magic show at the hospital. With love in the wings and a crowd of sick kids waiting for a magical show, Merry’s resolve to live like a mortal falters. Should she save the show with her magic and risk losing the man she loves?

As Merry and Bryan’s love intensifies, so does her guilty conscience. When she turns to her family for help, she runs into more trouble. Smart and powerful Aunt Nora thinks Merry should sharpen her witch skills and have some fun. Her father wants her to succeed him as Grand Wizard of the Domain. Their antics throw Merry for a loop trying to keep her little secret.

And then there’s the question of Harry, the cat who mysteriously enters Merry’s life and—interestingly—disappears whenever Bryan comes to call.

Merry and Bryan must overcome many many obstacles before discovering that the greatest magic of all is love.

5.0 out of 5 stars fun paranormal romance, December 11, 2002
This review is from: The Reluctant Witch (Paperback)
Aunt Nora and her niece Meredith Albright argue the merits of using magic. Nora is a major practitioner while Meredith prefers a more mundane lifestyle even knowing that if her deceased mother used her magic skills she probably would still be alive. However, Merry wants what her mother had, the love of a man, even a mortal.

Pediatric Oncologist Dr. Bryan Aldwyn enters Merry's Magic Emporium and Costume Shop to purchase items for a magic show he plans for a Halloween bash with his young patients at the Hopewell Hospital. However, he finds himself a bit clumsy and distracted as he wants to spend time with Merry. She feels the same way. However she fears how he will react if he meets her weird family members like Aunt Nora or Merry's biological father. Merry's sire has been around lately a lot more than he ever appeared in her twenty-six years of life as he has made her his chosen successor as the Grand Wizard.

THE RELUCTANT WITCH is a fun paranormal romance that though the plot never takes itself too seriously, the tale gracefully leads the audience into believing magic is real. Merry is a great protagonist as she deals with no men in her life ever since her stepfather died along side her mother to suddenly being a hunk magnet. Everyone wants to manipulate her to do his or her (mostly his) bidding. Fans of offbeat whimsical tales will want to be magically transported by THE RELUCTANT WITCH into her amusing world of Bell, Book, and Candle.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Writing Style Marred the Plot, May 16, 2006
By 
Mermaid (east coast USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Reluctant Witch (Paperback)
I found it difficult to overlook the substandard writing in this novella! The dialogue between the characters was ridiculous and terse. What little content existed was wasted on weak character development. I cannot believe this made it past an editor's chopping block!!!!!

If you cherish beautifully written prose and prefer the paranormal, try reading one of Alice Hoffman's (she is the author of Practical Magic).
