Something’s coming. And it involves a man.

New age shopkeeper Sybil Richardson loves Christmas – she just doesn’t like the impossibly sexy, incurably grumpy professor who’s come to the tiny town of Danbury, Vermont to debunk all her dearly held beliefs. She doesn’t like his suspicious nature, and she sure as hell doesn’t like the fact that he makes her dissolve into a puddle of lust no matter how much he annoys her.

Nick Fitzsimmons thinks most new age beliefs are nonsense. He has no need to linger in a one-horse town with no cell service and unreliable wifi, but for some reason, he can’t make himself leave the ridiculously gullible woman who is trying so hard to get rid of him.

Christmas is coming, and he knows what he wants under his tree. He just has to convince Sybil that she wants him, too.

Anne Stuart recently celebrated her forty years as a published author. She has won every major award in the romance field and appeared on the bestseller list of the NY Times, Publisher’s Weekly, and USA Today, as well as being featured in Vogue, People Magazine, and Entertainment Tonight. Anne lives by a lake in the hills of Northern Vermont with her fabulous husband.

A wintery tale of witches to warm your heart

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2004

Verified Purchase

Anne Stuart, I would think, dislikes stereotypes, in

characters, in settings. She gives us charming tale of witches set at Christmas time, not Halloween and she conjures a delightful romance that is not her trademark dark and dangerous tale, showing her more whimsical side.

Sybil Richardson aka Saralee Richardson, is a runt in a family of giants. Beautiful, blonde Amazon woman of overachievers - except for Sybil. One older sister is a lawyer, another a professor and her youngest is a diplomat. Nearly what you would call short, with caramel coloured hair, Saralee never felt she fit in with her "super" family. So she changed her name to Sybil, moved to Vermont, collected a small pack of dogs, and became the secretary to SOWW - Society of Water Witches. Life is good, not exciting, but content. She does not have to deal with her perfect family, does not have to deal with her ex-husband - who was perfect and only amplified her feels of inferiority.

So when Nicholas Fitzsimmons a - divinely perfect - professor who goes around debunking new age witchcraft fads, comes to the small snowy Vermont town, Sybil is not happy. Worse, when it quickly comes to light that Nicholas and Sybil are old souls from a past life things, which make things very sticky for Sybil. Nicholas is darkly beautiful, very tall, smart, and accomplished. Just like Sybil's family. Once more, she feels those few extra pounds and sense she is a "brown elf" rises. But try as she might, she cannot run from Nicholas, or chase him away with her rudeness.

Add in a subplot of someone swindling little old ladies of the town out of their life savings, you have a wonderful time. Stuart's tale is full of gentle humour, sizzling sparks between Nick and Sybil. Not typical Stuart, but typically crafted with her solid talent. A wintry tale to warm the heart.

Loved, loved, loved this book! The heroine had me laughing out loud. She's a sassy strong woman after my own heart. The hero is a good match for her forthright character. Together they make a believable steamy match. Fun read!

A much more likeable hero and heroine then she often writes. Still a very enjoyable read. I always enjoy her dialogue and this book did not disappoint

Fun, but not a keeper

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2004

This is one of the lighter Anne Stuart. Quirky characters, mismatched couple, and a bit of a mystery (who is swindling the nice old ladies?) A fun, but fairly predictable read,lacking the emotional edge that moves a book into keeper territory.

Okay Read

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2017

This is a cute romance. There is a bit of a mystery, but not enough to really warrant even calling it a mystery. Sybil Richardson is secretary of the Society of Water Witches in Danbury, VT, though her psychic abilities are not very strong. Still, after a failed marriage, Sybil took refuge in a town where she was warmly embraced and befriended by the locals and where she landed this job as secretary. From the moment Nicholas Fitzsimmons, a professor who has strong negative reactions to anything occult or paranormal, enters her bookstore, hoping to spend some time in Danbury doing research, however, Sybil cannot explain her reactions to this hunky man—not exactly the person she had imagined Nicholas to be before his arrival. Nicholas likewise has strong feelings for Sybil, though she is the opposite of everything he is or believes. In addition to the research Nicholas is doing while in Danbury, he is checking the town and its witches and/or dowsers out. Almost immediately, Nicholas becomes concerned that someone is stealing money from the town’s widows, leaving them just enough to live on. Sybil refuses to believe his theory when he points out the presumed guilty party, spending a lot of time defending her and chastising Nicholas for thinking this person is guilty of such a nefarious crime. Nicholas and Sybil also end up dancing around their growing attraction for each other for most of the book, though it is plain from the outset they will only do this for so long.

This is not a long book. The two main characters, Sybil and Nicholas, are interesting opposites, who regularly work to p--- each other off, knowing full well that this can only continue for a certain amount of time. I found Sybil to be a bit off-putting through most of the book, as well as not being the smartest person or best judge of character. Nicholas comes across as the big city slicker who comes into town, ready to research some things he does not believe in and ready to try to” set things right”, whether the town wants this or not. The story was interesting, though not very deep. This is an older book, and not like any of the author’s other books I have ever read. Still, it is entertaining, providing a sweet, short, light read. There is not much paranormal in the book, but enough to keep a reader interested. The story is set around Christmas, but there is little of the holiday in it. It could easily have occurred at any time of the year. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.

cute

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2017

This story is reminiscent of the story style of writing I use to read in the late 80's, early 90's and it was a welcome nostalgic look back. In this story Sybil comes from a family of wealth and overachievers and has never felt like she fit in, so after trying to fit in for many years she decides to change direction and do what she wants. Now she is pretty happy living in a small town, where she knows every one and owns a new age bookstore. Nick on the other hands is dubunker of all thing New Age but his problem is that he is fascinated by Sybil who is the opposite of everything he always looked for in a woman. This is a fun romp through, two lonely people that appear to be different but are not. I love the dynamic between these two, this story was fun with a bit of suspense. The author provided us with dual point of views which made it easier to understand what each was thinking and made it more enjoyable for me. Overall a good book, lacked a bit of depth, but I'm happy I read it.
