5.0 out of 5 stars A wintry tale of witches to warm your heart 18 July 2004
By Deborah MacGillivray HALL OF FAME VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Anne Stuart, I would think, dislikes stereotypes, in characters, in settings. She gives us charming tale of witches set at Christmas time, not Halloween. 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, blond Amazon woman of overachievers. 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 only amplified her feels of inferiority.

So when Nicholas Fitzsimmons, a 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 are old souls from a past life things to get 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light, funny Anne Stuart novel 7 Dec 2000
By "koalathebear" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I separate Anne Stuart novels into light and dark. This one is deliciously light - set at Christmas amidst the snow. Sybil Richardson is a would be witch - but not terribly good at it. Nicholas Fitzsimmons is an academic and the two of them don't get along at all at first, but the attraction between them is obvious and thereafter, it's a rollicking, hilarious journey of love, laughter and a little bit more.....

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but not a keeper 8 Feb 2004
By A. Dolan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.
