Spellbinding!!!!!  I loved this book! I could not put it down! I want to be a good witch or at least be friends with one…how cool would that be! Jane Tara did a phenomenal job of getting the reader lost in the magical place of New York City!
The Shakespeare women have been using their powers for generations. Now there are only a few of the women left. Rowie Shakespeare is the lucky one that is destine to carry on the family business, or at least that is what her Grandmother tells her.
 Rowie has her own dreams of having a more normal life. When Rowie was finally doing something she loved and making her own life she finds the one man she can not read. “Blissful nothing!” She had waited her whole life to kiss a man and not see his entire life play out in her mind, which did not include her. The man she can’t read is none other than the handsome local TV weatherman Drew Henderson!
 You think everything is going to be great but nothing is ever perfect, not even for a witch! I enjoyed their road back to each other and all the secrets that are divulged. I love to think about destiny and how each decision we make can take us down different paths for our future! This book did not disappoint! I give it 4.5 stars!

When I first began reading this book I noticed a few things right away. There seemed to be an abundance of British slang, which generally tends to irk me. Secondly, the rest of the book was so good that it rather cancelled out my concern for the first thing.

What did I like about it? Many things. One of the main things that captured my attention about this book was the way the characters came to life right before the reader’s eyes. Rather than describing every minute detail, the author let you form your own images of them with simple, yet effective descriptive words. She lets you decide what and who you want the characters to be with just the slightest assistance.

There were a few times where I felt the main character was a bit self concerned and overbearing, but she is a strong personality and her words and actions certainly reflected that. I liked the way she took control of the story, I just felt she was a bit bossy toward her love interest.

The supporting characters are great and also play a major role in the story, which I don’t think happens often enough. So frequently I like one of the secondary characters more than the main, but in this case they are all worthy of adoration.

The idea behind the premise of this story is also something I had not seen before. The way the author made the main character compassionate toward the plight of others helped me grow to really like her.

I would recommend this book to others. It was sassy, and fun.

This review is based on a digital ARC from the publisher.

Another lovely review for Trouble Brewing

Another 4 star review arrived today from the lovely Books With Tien. There is also a Q&A with me posted under the review. Drop by and check them both out.

Tien:  When did you first start writing and when did you finish your first book?
Jane: I’ve always written. I have boxes of romance stories I wrote as a teenager, tucked away at my mum’s house. They’re hilarious. The stories all end just as the male and female leads are about to kiss. I guess I was too young to really know how to write about what came next.
