My Favorite Witch by Annette Blair

The sequel to The Kitchen Witch, explores the life of Kira Fitzgerald after she’s dumped her cheating fiancé. She meets hockey star, Jason Pickering Goddard, who has been sidelined with an injury. His grandmother cons him into taking over the role of Director of Special Events for the Pickering Foundation where he runs into Kira. Together they capitalize on Jason’s popularity as the winner of the Worlds Best Kisser reality TV show to raise money for an orphanage.

If you were expecting a traditional paranormal book, you’ll be disappointed. Witchcraft doesn’t play a strong part in the story, though it does contribute to some of the humor. The conflict between Kira and Jason seems a little forced at times, while the story line is also a little too predictable. However there are some very funny scenes, a few of which I’m sure I’ll remember for a long time.
