Welcome to Duvall, Texas, where new witch Tammy Jo Trask has just unleashed an accidental Armageddon...Oops.
Tammy Jo's misfiring magic has attracted the unwanted attention of WAM, the World Association of Magic. Now, a wand-wielding wizard and a menacing fire warlock have come to Duvall to train her for a dangerous mandatory challenge. But is there more to their arrival than they claim?
When a curse leads to a toxic spill of pixie dust, the town comes unglued and the doors between the human and faery worlds begin to open. To rescue the town and to face the impossible magical test, Tammy needs the help of incredibly handsome Bryn Lyons, but WAM has declared him totally off-limits. To avoid deadly consequences, Tammy probably ought to follow the rules this time.
On the other hand, rebellion is an old Texas tradition.
Kimberly Frost wasn't born in Texas, but she got there as fast as she could. Currently at home in a small town known as Houston, she is taking dictation from her characters and working on her "Southern Witch" series. She loves to hear from readers.

Southern Witch, Book Two,
By
This review is from: Barely Bewitched (Paperback)
Tamara "Tammy Jo" Trask wants nothing more than to be a normal pastry chef. But last week she had to spell-cast due to werewolves (Book One / Would-Be Witch). Once she cast a spell the World Association of Magic (WAM) classified Tammy Jo as a witch and she unwillingly became subject to the laws of magic. Therefore, this week Tammy Jo's life is chaos again. WAM sends two representatives to help prepare Tammy Jo for her mandatory Initial Challenge. Should Tammy Jo refuse to take it or fail, she will face imprisonment or death. The biggest problem is that Tammy Jo cannot control her magic. But it is also strange that the Conclave has sent a wand-wielding wizard and a Class Eight fire warlock that is often used as a hit man. Not only does the magical hit man hate Tammy Jo instantly, but he claims that Mercutio (Tammy Jo's ocelot) belongs to him and he wants Merc back. Not if Merc or Tammy Jo has anything to say about it!
When a curse leads to a huge spill of pixie dust, the town goes wild. All the citizens are acting insane. Add to this that nature is growing so rapidly that vines are wrapping around vehicles and people. Tammy Jo needs the help of sinfully handsome Bryn Lyons, but WAM has declared him off-limits to her. He is not even allowed to help train her for the upcoming challenge. Her ex-husband, Zach, refuses to believe the things he saw last week had been real. So the cute deputy sheriff is in her way. Welcome to Duvall, Texas. ***** FIVE STARS! Forget everything you know about witches having warts on their noses and being evil. Forget everything you believe about faeries being tiny, full of sweetness, and darting about on dainty wings. You do not really know anything about witches and all your romantic childhood beliefs of faeries are false. Kimberly Frost's Southern Witch series is destined for great things. Full of action, suspense, romance and humor, this story had me hooked from the first page until the last. If book one was "last week" and this book is "this week", then I simply cannot wait to see what will happen "next week" in Tammy Jo's life. Downright mystical! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Barely Bewitched,
By M. Nix - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Barely Bewitched (Paperback)
Witch Tammy Jo Trask can't control her magic, and that has brought her to the attention of WAM, the World Association of Magic. They plan to test her abilities, and if she fails, well, things won't turn out well for her. To help her prepare they've sent Jordan Perth, who brings along fire witch Incendio Maldaron. Even though Tammy Jo knows that losing this challenge may cost her her life, she has bigger fish to fry.
She's accidentally let loose pixie dust, which sets the town of Duvall, Texas, on its ears, making everyone do crazy things. Tammy Jo's not sure what to do about things. Despite warnings from WAM to stay away from him, she seeks advice from attorney and witch Bryn Lyons, which puts both of them in danger. Tammy Jo is attracted to Bryn, but there's always those feelings she still has for her ex-husband, Zach, who doesn't believe in the magical stuff but wants to keep his ex-wife by his side. Tammy Jo has to figure out a way to gather the pixie dust to set things in town to right, and keep from being vaporized by WAM. Can she put things to right, or will Duvall be blown off the map? Kimberly Frost's Southern Witch series is a mixture of magic and romance that keeps me laughing. Barely Bewitched, the second book, focuses more on the magical part rather than the romance, but I still found it very entertaining. The action is continual and the situations go from bad to worse for Tammy Jo and her town. One of the things I love about this series is Tammy Jo's spunk and her ability to face anything and not back down. She is her own woman and faces her challenges head on. I loved the way Ms. Frost wove in new elements to the series, which kept me turning the pages and wondering exactly what was going to happen next. The ending put a smile on my face and made me wish I had to make Tammy Jo's decisions. Barely Bewitched is full of sexual tension, magical mayhem and goes from one crazy situation to another. All of this combines to provide a fun read that kept me entertained and left me wanting more. Amelia Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

I love this series!,
By Lori Lawson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Barely Bewitched (Paperback)
Just when you think Tammy Jo can't get into any more trouble, she does! What a fun series! I loved Would-Be Witch with all its southern charm. It made me feel right at home. Kimberly Frost wrote a equally great follow-up.
All the characters are wonderful. Tammy Jo is just the right amount of funny and she can sure win you over with all her desserts. Bryn can win your heart over in an instant and still make you question what his motives are. And how can you go wrong with a super cat that defends you and can understand what you are saying! If you are in the mood for a feel good funny series, which I was after Catching Fire, this is the series for you. How can you go wrong with Texas sized magic, Texas sized cats, and Texas men? |
