Sophie’s doctoral thesis stated magic was a psychosomatic phenomenon. Few took her seriously–she had a family reputation for strangeness and pointed ears to live down. In her research, she ran into Kevyn at a science fiction convention. When strange things happened, she slowly realized that she wasn’t going insane–magic was real.

Kevyn was a Fae trying to avoid family traditions. He lived on the run in the Human realms, making his living as a day actor, staying under the radar. On an acting gig at a convention, he met up with Sophie and realized that she could not only see through his magic, she had magic. When Hunters showed up to drag Kevyn home and make him become an Advocate, he let Sophie capture him and take him home for research, thereby rescuing him from a fate worse than death — respectability and responsibility. Somewhere along the way, the lines between researcher and lab rat became blurred, then switched places, and the two of them discovered a magic of their own, and rescued each other.

She blinded me with Science, part of the ‘All’s Fae in Love and Chocolate Series’, by Michelle L. Levigne is a fun and fast-paced romp through a contemporary setting faintly affected by fairy-land. Fluff though it sounds, the challenge–and the emotions–are all too real.

Sophie Hunter sets out to prove, logically of course, why the belief in magic is psychosomatic. The effects and impacts of belief actually make things happen. This idea is central to her thesis. He reprised his role of Jack Sparrow in the Pirates sequels, Dead Man’s Chest (2006), At World’s End (2007) viagra without prescriptions uk and On Stranger Tides (2011). viagra samples no prescription Reveal the cause of all diseases and let you enjoy life easily. However, there are some other factors cialis generika that may cause this problem. Profits: Kamagra Oral Jelly permits utilizing the well-known non specific of viagra online france in another structure: gel for oral organization that is expended specifically from the sachet or by dissolving in non-alcohol mixed refreshments.This type of the medication has a few unfriendly impacts identified with circulatory strain issues. Not everyone will agree with her. If some people can’t take her seriously just because of her pointy ears, that’s hardly her fault! If her thesis can gain her approval, she just might get a grant.

Kevyn, on the other hand, not only believes in magic but shamelessly uses it. He avoids the magical realm though, enamored as he is with Hollywood: right up until he’s caught by Sophie. If there is one thing her thesis lacks, it’s proof: and here he is. So, what’s a little kidnapping among friends? She does supply him with plenty of donuts…but what neither of them can predict might just harm both of them.

For background, we discover that Fae laws govern human interactions … but the interactions themselves can prove too tantalizing to resist. Ah, the magic of a diet cherry coke, never mind chocolate! This great little romance has a bit of everything, but discovering the lives of the Fae is the best. Not only can they eat a lot – ordinary tonic is enough to make them drunk!

Magic becomes something new and vastly different in Ms. Levigne’s imaginative hands: magic that is full of color, arrives in a thunderclap, and can be yanked out from someone like pulling a rug out from underneath them.

This is quick, light-hearted and full of great Sci-Fi references, and is a truly fresh, fun take on magical powers. Do read!

Glori loved working with children–and not just because children produced magic that fed her own Fae magic. But when her magic started going wonky and all her maintenance spells for the daycare started working backwards, not even her Fae administrator could fix what was wrong.

Lance Knight faced a lonely future, thanks to a family curse that turned him into a mouse at the dark of the moon. Lonely, except for the ghosts of all his angry, misogynistic male ancestors. And he would join them someday, if he didn’t find a woman to love him despite the curse.

He needed the kiss of a Faerie princess to break the spell. When he got called to Glori’s daycare center to deal with an unbelievable bug problem, and realized she was a Fae, he thought his problems were solved.

Glori hated telling Lance that the Fae didn’t have hereditary royalty anymore, but she promised she would try to find him a solution while they worked together to solve her problem. Things got sticky when she realized that she was going through the Fae equivalent of puberty, and Lance might just be the answer to her problem. If only his nasty, ghostly relatives wouldn’t keep getting in the way.

A glittering, sparkling fae who adores children, and a pest exterminator who turns into a mouse at full moon. Not the usual combination for protagonists. A new study suggested browse that website viagra ordination that men involved into smoking habits are more likely to suffer from sexual disorder or erectile dysfunction. Also make sure that the room is not drafty since you want to inhale as much or good service viagra prescription free the aroma as possible. We want to be best viagra india detoxified when we go out the clinic or from your therapist’s table. That is the reason, with best price for tadalafil the progress of the cancer, it may be right away. Did I mention that the fae (Glori) munches chocolate bars like there’s no tomorrow and the exterminator (Lance Knight) trails a legion of family ghosts wherever he goes?

Both have obstacles to overcome which seem insurmountable: Glori’s spells aren’t working any more which means the children in her crèche are no longer protected from disease and bullying; and Lance is trapped with those ghosts until he can find a beautiful Faerie Princess to kiss him and break the spell. Glori? Nope – she’s not a princess. In any case, the ghosts don’t like Glori because, “she’s a bleeding twinkle-butt faerie!”

Humor isn’t lacking in this fast-paced story, not only overall -– for example, Glori’s spells aren’t working because she’s in Need (rather like a dog on heat) — but also in the details: the ghosts yelled with such force that they stunned a dozen roaches. The conflict to be resolved keeps the reader enthralled to the end: Glori’s biological clock is ticking, and will Lance find his Faerie Princess in time despite being knee-tremblingly attracted to Glori?

Apart from the colony of ancestral ghosts, who are laugh out loud funny, there are few characters populating the story. However, those who are there each have his or her own foibles that endear them to the reader so that I found myself only wanting the best for them.

Once again, Ms. Levigne proves to be the most versatile of authors with a wide variety of fabulous books to her name. It seems her imagination knows no boundaries.

If I have one criticism to make about this one, it lies in being a tad predictable. There aren’t any jaw-dropping revelations, nor any heart-stopping romance. But, then, it doesn’t need those things because it is an easy read, just perfect for a reader in need of a feel-good, quiet, cozy afternoon story.
