Love this.

I have read all of Vicki's books. She is great and I could not find this book locally. I go the book quickly and in excellent condition.

I was hooked strictly by the first cover of the book, blondes on brooms. I totally fell in love with the characters. I read this book and i fell in love with the characters and the story. I recommend this book. You wont put it down. Awesome!!! Thumbs up to both books!!!

Chick with a Broom

Bartender Lily Revere is every bit as untamed a witch as her sister, Anica, is by-the-book. Normally this isn't a problem, but with Anica's engagement party fast approaching and Lily's parents coming into town for the party, the wilder Revere sister has a plan to impress their parents. Unfortunately for human Griffin Taylor, the man Lily has been lusting after, that plan includes him. Griffin is a divorce lawyer whose childhood and chosen vocation have warned him to go with his head, not his...gut...when it comes to love. Then when Lily slips an adoration elixir into his drink, all of Griffin's inhibitions are stripped away when it comes to Lily. The two seem perfect together, but are Griffin's feelings for Lily real, or just the result of some potent magic? Love potions never go well for the creator or the object of their affections. Yet while things get a little crazy for Lily and Griffin, it's pure fun for readers who are along for the ride. Lily is a lovable, free-spirited, and yes, charming heroine. Her bright spirit is infectious, endearing her to the reader even when she does some less-than-noble things (i.e.: pouring an adoration elixir into Griffin's drink). Griffin, despite his reservations, is actually as perfect for Lily as she for him. He was an utterly delicious hero and things definitely got hot when he and Lily were together. Chick with a Charm is the second delightful installment in Vicki Lewis Thompson's Babes on Brooms series and it's the perfect follow-up to Blonde with a Wand. Readers new to this series need not fear they'll be missing anything if they read Chick with a Charm first. Each book fully stands on its own. I absolutely love this series and hope Ms. Thompson has another Babes on Brooms novel coming soon! Shayna Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

amusing urban fantasy

Her family adores Lily Revere though they know her free spirit ways gets her constantly in trouble. Lily knows she is nothing like her perfect sister, but never cared until now. A witch, she wants attorney Griffin Taylor, but though she sees something in his eyes that she believes is desire; he never makes a move. She needs an escort to accompany her to her sister Anica's wedding (see the amusing Blonde With a Wand) and figures it might as well be someone she wants beyond a casual date. She casts a spell to get Griffin to take her because he desires her. Her incantation works, but the more she learns of him, the deeper she falls for him. As she falls in love, Lily owes him the truth though she expects her heart will be broken when he learns how she deceived him. The second Babes on Brooms urban fantasy is a jocular over the top of Chicago Wild and Hexy tale. The humorous story line is driven by Lily's needs and desires for an escort with her choice being the man she wants who has ignored her until she gives him a mickey love spell. Fans will enjoy lighthearted Chick with a Charm as the heroine knows that without the love potion her chance of gaining Griffin's regard is on a par with the Cubs winning the World Series.
