Clumsy Elly Blair can't wait to leave New York City in the dust after catching her rat boyfriend in THEIR bed with someone else. She jumps at the chance to come home to Grandma Imelda's cafe so Granny can retire. As Grandma is walking out of the cafe that she has just turned over to Elly she lets Elly in on one last little thing, Grandma Imelda has magical powers that she bakes into her homemade goodies and Elly, as the only family member to have any magic ability, must continue the spells to keep the town happy and unsuspecting. One catch, don't lose the spell book or Granny's magic spices.Too bad Granny didn't tell her to make sure that the spells make it to the person she crafted it for. New hottie in town, a rancher named Rory, accidentally takes a bite of the wrong burger. Now he has women chasing after him like he is the last man on earth including his high maintenance ex-girlfriend, Kim. Are Elly's feelings for him real or part of the spell gone wrong??Enter Tom Owenton, investigator from the National Organization for Magic sent to close down the cafe and maybe even take the magic away from Elly. Tom is pretty easy on the eyes and seems to find Elly very attractive. Things get all twisty with both men, at least she has a wonderful best friend working at the cafe and getting her nose in all the problems that creep Elly's way. Sometimes having a gossip hound for a best friend really really helps!!So who would you chose??? Will Elly keep the cafe???? Can Elly keep a hold of her powers??? Will she mess up again???Rose Pressey is quickly becoming my new favorite writer (new to me at least)!! Her books are great (not to mention easy on the checkbook!) and have wonderful humor without losing the plot. All of her stories that I've read are wonderful romances with some paranormal thrown in. Wonderful recipe in my opinion!!
