Witch in the House

Witch In The House by Jenna McKnight was utterly adorable. If you like the novels done by Annette Blair you will most certainly love this. A witchy romance that will make you laugh out loud and not want to put the novel down. Jade Delarue is a witchy sex kitten in stiletto's who turns heads wherever she goes. Wavy hair, long legs and green eyes so bewitching you'll be instantly seduced. She's a witch who knows her stuff but the spirits have a great sense of humor with her. Mason Kincaid is a Pierce Bronson look alike to the t. Dark hair, steel blue eyes and a six pack of abbs to die for. Ouch, don't touch that it's hot type of man. Yumm! Poor Mason is down on his luck with being jilted at the alter and after a few drinks and a witches spell he ends up at an unexpected, don't want to be here place. He loves diving and warmth but ends up with snow and cold. That'll teach him to tie one on. LOL! The story starts out with Mason getting jilted at the alter, getting drunk, then finding himself in cold weather with a buddy who has found them a job at a B & B. Upon arriving at the B & B, Mason turns to stone as soon as the door is opened and reveals a goddess of a woman that's certainly too beautiful to be real. Wow talk about steam heat. Whew! You have a novel of witchcraft, mystery, romance, hot steamy sex and screw ups that will tickle your funny bone to the max. It is smooth, consistent and just overall great. What more can I say. If you miss out on this one then you're seriously missing a real cutey. Jenna McKnight has done such a wonderful job with this novel that I am already salivating for the next one in the series. Kudos for a story that details witchcraft, gives us a romantic ending that will surprise the best romantic and a mystery that goes from page one to the very end.

Bravo! Jenna Mc Knight the Witch in the House is funny, witty, and very entertaining. If your in the mood for romance with a chuckle this story is it Jade Delarue and Mason Kankaid are charming characters that get into all types of situations that will have you in tears you are laughing so hard. This was a great and cheerful pick me up from a murder mystery and science reader. I will pick up more stories by Jenna Mc Knight.

Jade Delarue is a witch. A sexy witch. She wears stiletto boots, and has a knack with herbs. She offers her expertise to those in need, but now she's looking for a love of her own. So she casts a spell to find her true love. Only the spell gets mixed up with another. Jade quickly tries to undo her mistake, but it appears to be too late because her dream man arrives at Mystic Manor. After being jilted at the alter, Mason Kincaid wants to forget all about women and love and just spend a happy week in Aruba. Too bad he's stuck in West Bluff, Missouri in the dead of winter investigating potential insurance fraud. The only bright side is the subject of his investigation, the very intriguing Ms. Delarue. While Mason appears unaffected by Jade's spells and charms designed to drive him away, neither is immune to the chemistry simmering between them. As Mason learns Jade's secret, he becomes desperate come clean to her and to reveal his own secret. This story has something for everyone: passion, humor, symbols abound, and a memorable cast of characters. But what I love about Ms. McKnight's books is the subtext. With every word the characters utter, you can hear all they aren't saying. And not just between Jade and Mason. This delightful cast of characters all mean more than they say. I can't wait to revisit West Bluff and Mystic Manor for Annie's and Courtney's stories.--Reviewed by Julie Opdyke

Jade knows casting the spell that reunited Brenda and Lance on the eve of Brenda's marriage to another man was the right thing to do, but wanting to tie up cosmic loose ends, Jade lights a spell candle to bring true love to Brenda's jilted groom. And after six years of mourning her lost husband Jade has decided it's time to move on and find love again, so while she's playing matchmaker - after all the matches are already out - she also lights a second candle for herself. But fate is sneaky and the candles melt together joining the spells. So to Jade's dismay who should turn up on the doorstep of Jade's Bed and Breakfast several days later hungover and still in his tux but Brenda's ex-fiance Mason Kincade. Mason and his partner Anthony weasel their way into Jade's B & B as guests under false pretenses, they are really undercover to make sure that Jade isn't perpetrating an insurance scam and that her soon-to-be-legally-dead husband isn't really just in hiding waiting to collect the dough. But once Mason sobers up he is amazed to discover that not only does he feels an incredible instant attraction to Jade, he's no longer that broken up about Brenda. Mason tries unsuccessfully to fight what he feels for Jade, struggling with the ethical conflict his secret agenda presents. In the mean time, Jade is so busy desparately trying to sever the connection between the spells, and casting counter hexes to try to send Mason away so that they each can find their perfect loves, that it takes her awhile to realise that Mason just might be the perfect man that she wished for. But like Mason, Jade has secrets of her own. Can what they feel survive the truth? This was sweet and sexy and funny. I loved Jade and the witchy elements were respectfully handled. And Mason was terrific, although I don't know about the Pierce Brosnan clone thing, seems like it would be hard to go undercover having such a distinctive appearance. But otherwise, there is no way Jade couldn't have fallen for Mason, he was intelligent, open minded and his plan to win Jade over in the end was clever and so irresistably romantic. Jade wasn't the only witch whose husband has mysteriously vanished, so be on the lookout for two more witchy romances, for Jade's friends Annie and Courtney.

I thought this book was hysterical! It had a great story line, and I actually had to read every word instead of skimming so I didn't miss any of the incredible humor in this book. I picked this book up by chance and now I am going to order the author's other books and I can't wait for the next installment in this series.
