Charmed Friends and Lovers Collection Beth Ciotta Books

I just adored this fun, romantic, sexy tale with a quirky heroine and a yummy man. I am a sucker for a heroine that is messy, can't cook, and full of joy. Lulu is just so very much herself. She has a great job and believes in herself and all those she loves. Colin is awesome. He is a brooding bodyguard type who recognizes a good thing when he sees it in Lulu. I love that in a man. They are both wonderful people but human enough that they seem real. This is a madcap romantic comedy with a little bit of suspense weaved in with some real emotional stepping stones. The secondary cast is excellent and there is a wonderful secondary romance that looks like it will be develop over the series.

I liked this book so much that when my loan for it ran out on my Kindle, I bought it, right then, half way through. I knew I would want to reread it and had to finish it.

If you are looking for a the warm happys and grin, pick this one up! I know I will be reading the whole series and other books by this writer.

Charmed Friends and Lovers Collection Beth Ciotta Books Reviews

I picked up this book because I'd been reading the author's blog and found her "voice" in her entries to be one I enjoyed. I was not disappointed by the decision. "Charmed" is a delightful story, not quite romantic comedy, but definitely not your average romantic suspense. Bodyguard Colin Murphy is called in by a friend to watch out for a "princess" who's in danger. He's not expecting a children's storyteller with a princess persona. Ciotta gets things moving from page one and doesn't let up until the end.

There's a tremendous amount of humor mixed in with the action that follows, all of which arises naturally from the movement of the plot rather than having the feeling of "insert joke here" that one sometimes encounters when reading romantic comedy. Since Lulu not only works children parties, but is a roving entertainer in an Atlantic City Casino, there's a great deal of material to mine and Ciotta doesn't hesitate to do so. The hero being forced to don the troll suit is great. Trust me.

I will confess that there were a few moments near the beginning where I felt Lulu threatened to veer into "too stupid to live" territority, but since her escapes from the situations caused by those moments actually a) moved the plot forward and b) caused Lulu to take another look at the situation around her and realize it really *was* as serious as Colin was trying to tell her, they bothered me far less once I was pass them. Part of Lulu's character is that she does try to look at the world with a sunny disposition and treats people as if they are well-intentioned until they prove otherwise. Since there's a lowlife after her, this causes more than one problem, and in dealing with those problems, we see her grow and change, revealing a strength of character at the end of the story that wasn't obvious at the beginning.

It was an easy and entertaining read, and this is one author whose other works I'll definitely be taking a look at.
People who seem to be opposites aren't always as different as they appear. In fact, they often learn just how much they have in common!!! The gun carrying protection specialist and the anti-gun, pacifist children's performer ultimately have the same purposes in life, to make the world a safer place. Both suffered tragedies and broken hearts. Together, they open each other's eyes to a world view very different from their own, and heal their hearts on the process. A very sweet story!!! I loved the first book in the series, Jinxed. The characters from that story factor into this one intricately. I can't wait to read the final book, Seduced, and see how they all end up!!
enjoy her mapcap adventures
Really loved Jinks, so I figured I'll buy the other two series. Good thing I did, cant wait to start reading the third one.
Charmed is the second book in the triology by Beth Ciotta. Although this second entry can stand alone, you won't get as much enjoyment out of it if you haven't read the first book, Jinxed, which introduces you to the very interesting secondary characters of the book. Both books are well worth the read if you are looking for something light - in tone, in humor, and in suspense. The book has been synopsized very well in other reviews so I'll cut to the chase - it's like a warm fuzzy pair of bunny slippers. Cute, comfortable and just makes you feel good. The characters are lovable, there is a little sexual sizzle, which keeps it from being a kiddie book, with a dash of mystery and sip of pathos (in the main character's sister, who is featured in the 3rd book in the series.) I'll definitely keep this book for those times when I need something light and easy and quick to read.
I'm wondering if Ms. Ciotta copied Lulu from who tend to be from time to time. You don't see that many cute, goofy fun heroines in books anymore. I find them to be overly competent, overly analytic and tough. Don't get me wrong, in the end, Luciana held her own and was no pushover. But how can you not love a character that dresses like a princess (Charming) or a mermaid for little kids parties. Princess Charming could even charm the ever doubtful 4-9 year old boys while dressed as a princess. Mobsters and neighborhood curmudgeons had crushes on her sweetness and innocence.

Who doesn't love a former marine that did humanitarian missions, a p.i. who put it all on the line to keep the sweet and innocent safe! The whole cast of characters are likable, enjoyable and I look forward to seeing more from them in the rest of her series.
