Rollicking good read

I received this book on 23 Febraury 2008, and, literally, could NOT put it down until I finished it. Then, I re-read it AGAIN, and found that I enjoyed it even more. For those of you out there who haven't made the acquaintance of Bronwen the witch from Ms. Havens' earlier works (The CHARMED AND . . .) series, this is a good book to get to be introduced to Ms. Haven's fun and highly entertaining worlds. I live in Texas, in a small town that is very similar to Sweet, Texas (don't THINK we've got a psychic librarian, or a coven of witches keeping us all safe - but I wouldn't bet against it either) but Ms. Havens captures small-town Texas perfectly. Kira Smythe is the daughter of hippies, who is a VERY high-powered corporate attorney in Atlanta. After a truly traumatic happenstance in her life that is complicated by a major illness, she comes home to Sweet to recuperate - and that's when the fun starts. I won't spoil the book for all of you potential readers out there by saying anything more. Just buy the book, and get the CHARMED AND . . . series by this same author. You won't be disappointed!

entertaining paranormal romance

Kira Smythe was on the fast track rising up the success ladder at her law firm, but her descent proved even faster. She was held culpable for the death of a peer and forced to leave. She returns to her hometown of Sweet, Texas as a temporary measure to rejuvenate her juices before trying to restart her law career.

However, two things make her reconsider her goal to flee town as soon as possible. First she inherits the town library and second an illness left her with the uncanny ability to communicate with the dead. Of course as the ghosts lecture her on living as if they are experts, she apparently has met her soulmate who seems to reciprocate her feelings although he seems to be hiding something from her; Kira thinks at least he is alive; outside of her breathing dad every other male interested in her are a bit too spirited for her needs. Of course there is an unknown person she assumes is a guy who seems to want her to matchmake her with the deceased by trying to kill her.

When it comes to charming fans with entertaining paranormal romances few writers match the consistent success of Candace Havens (see CHARMED & READY and CHARMED & DANGEROUS). Her latest triumph, LIKE A CHARM, is a delightful contemporary ghost story as Kira is tough heroine with a heart of gold and personal lists that add to understanding the heroine. Readers will appreciate the tale of the lawyer turned librarian whose suitors for the most part enable her to literally appreciate Mae West's comment: "It's not the men in my life that counts--it's the life in my men."

reviews: page 1, 2

From the acclaimed author of Charmed & Dangerous comes a sassy new paranormal romance about a gorgeous librarian who sees dead people. Kira Smythe never thought she'd end up back in her hometown of Sweet, Texas. But now that her high-powered job, along with her five-year plan, have gone right out the window, she's back where she started, staying with her hippie, tofu- obsessed parents-except that somehow she's inherited the local library. At least there's a gorgeous guy in town who seems quite smitten with her. So what if he's got a few secrets up his sleeve? After all, Kira's got her own secrets. Like the dead people who won't stop talking to her. Or the magical books on the shelves. Or the fact that someone who's very much alive seems determined to push her over to the other side.
