I never planned on going back to Hung Island, Georgia. Ever.
I was a top notch Were agent for the secret paranormal Council and happily living in Chicago where I had everything I needed – a gym membership, season tickets to the Cubs and Dwayne – my gay, Vampyre best friend. Going back now would mean facing the reason I’d left and I’d rather chew my own paw off than deal with Hank.
Hank the Tank Wilson was the six foot three, obnoxious, egotistical, perfect-assed, best-sex-of-my-life, Werewolf who cheated on me and broke my heart. At the time, I did what any rational woman would do. I left in the middle of the night with a suitcase, big plans and enough money for a one-way bus ticket to freedom. I vowed to never return.
But here I am, trying to wrap my head around what has happened to some missing Weres without wrapping my body around Hank. I hope I don’t have to eat my words and my paw. Views: 45

Dorcas and Ambrose are matchmaking sex therapists for witches and warlocks. Now they're doing it for mere mortals-although the handsome Sean Madigan is kind of an Adonis. Until Dorcas and Ambrose strip him of his sex appeal and introduce him to his destiny, Maggie Grady. This time winning a girl's heart won't be so easy for Sean. It means rediscovering the charms buried beneath the surface. But what a surface!From Publishers WeeklyFollowing a sex hex gone wrong, magical matchmakers Dorcas and Ambrose Lowell have been exiled to the tiny town of Big Knob, Ind., where they're soon drawn to Sean Madigan, whose green eyes and carpenter's body have for years bewitched the town's females. Tired of meaningless conquest, Sean just wants to grab a cup of coffee without getting mobbed, so in exchange for some pro bono wood work, Dorcas and Ambrose agree to turn off Sean's charm. Too bad, then, that he's soon in desperate need of his persuasive powers: when department store location scout Maggie Grady arrives in town, sights set on a plot of land that Sean has long been eyeing, Sean is sure he could seduce the sexy scout into abandoning her plans. Forced to win Maggie the old-fashioned way—with down-home cooking and throw-down romancing—Sean has his work cut out for him. Meanwhile, Dorcas and Ambrose have a secret identity to protect and an ornery, poker-addicted dragon to rehabilitate. If readers can fall under the spell of her outlandish premise and forgive some less-than-urgent pacing, they'll find the same trademark blend of comedy and heart that won Thompson's Nerd series (My Nerdy Valentine, etc.) a loyal following.

From BooklistAfter a spell goes awry, supernatural matchmakers Dorcas and Ambrose are banished to a small town in Indiana. Not content with their forced sabbatical, they decide to work their magic on a local heartthrob. Sean Madigan is sick of being stalked by every woman in town, but he has no idea what he's in for when the eccentric couple offers to help. Suddenly Sean's sex appeal plummets just when the woman of his dreams comes to town. She's scouting a location for a big-box store, which happens to be the site of Sean's childhood home. Since his once-overpowering charms have no effect on her, he has to find another way to sway her and save his land. Thompson mixes magic, small-town quirkiness, and passionate sex for a winsome effect in a pleasing paranormal romance that doesn't take itself too seriously. Kostovski, Aleksandra Views: 45
