Dexter Grant must save the Fates—and discover his own fate, all at the same time.

simply awful
16 Jan 2003
By lovestoread
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I read the first 3 books in this series, and this one fell woefully short compared to the others. As I read this book, I felt increasingly that Ms. Grayson was under a publishing deadline for this book and rushed through. There were loose ends left EVERYWHERE! We never find out the Fates' fate. Which, by the way, was the whole reason that Vivian and Dexter get together anyway! We never learn what really happens to Aunt Eugenia, who also played a part in the "evil scheme". Speaking of "evil scheme", the villan is captured too easily. There is no real "romance" shown between the characters - mostly in their heads. The one "love scene" we get cut out of. I wasn't even sure that the characters had actually consummated their realationship until it was mentioned later. Go figure. Vivian's nephew is alluded to in that he may have knowledge of Vivian's and Dexter's situation and/ or that he may have abilities like Vivian's, but we never learn anything else about it. And if that's not enough, the whole book takes place over the course of ONE day! (Boy they slept together awful fast!) There's no real ending either. This book just screamed for an epilouge, but we don't know what happens to the characters. We also get to briefly see the characters from the previous books, but they are also quickly discarded. This one was a bummer all around.

Great paranormal romance

This was a great paranormal romance. The characters were well-developed. I hope the author plans to create a series out of this story because it is really intriquing and there is a lot there that could be further developed into a series. I highly recommend this book!

whimsical fantasy romance
18 Jan 2003
By Harriet Klausner
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The three Fates (Lachesis, Atropos, and Clitho) arrive at Vivian Kinelly's Portland home seeking help from her Aunt Eugenia who recently died. The trio was stripped of their magical power for one year in an effort to bring some competition into the magical realm in an effort to revitalize it in the age of scientific skepticism. Now someone is trying to kill them while they lack the ability to perform magic.
The threesome realizes that Vivian is not ready to be their champion so they ask her to find master magician Henry Baron, owner of a local pet store under the name of Dexter Grant. Vivian explains to Dexter what is going on and he knows she is the soul mate he has waited an eternity for. Sparks fly between them even as they intercede in an effort to keep the "retired" Fates from harm.
Readers will find SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE simply irresistible because the whimsical story line contains characters that make magic so real that it feels more like a branch of science. The story line never takes itself seriously while providing sub-genre fans with an amusing war of the magicians (reminiscent of the Corman's movie The Raven). The lead couple is a charmed pair who one does not need a crystal ball to feel they belong together. However, the three Fates and the new wave substitutes turn Kristine Grayson's fun plot into a jocular joyful experience.
