The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes (edition 2007)

Romance,Paranormal,Fantasy

Three sisters who are witches with magical powers are trying vainly to live a peaceful small-town life. Romance comes for each of them. ( )

Fluffy romance featuring three sisters blessed/cursed with magical powers. Stalked by their power-hungry aunt, who may have murdered their parents and certainly covets their magic for her own, the three have town-hopped across the U.S., finally settling in sleepy Salem's Fork. Now their true loves, and their aunt, have found them. Frogs, transformations, romance and mis-adventure ensue before everything resolves itself nicely into happily ever afters for all three.

I'd actually read this a few years back (pre-LibraryThing), and don't recall liking it that much. I must have been in a better mood this time - although it's still not top of my list, it was enjoyable enough. ( )

Very light reading...if you liked Dogs and Goddesses...you like this. A little "get on with it" for me in the middle. Romantic comedy with juicy love scenes... ( )

A fantasy romance about three sisters with magical powers, co-written by three separate authors. You see all the ways in which this could go wrong, right? Right. Well, Mare's story—written by Jenny Crusie—is the strongest and the wittiest, but it's nowhere near vintage Crusie. Dee's story was mostly boring (though God, let me count all the ways I never again want to read an erection described as 'rampant'); Lizzy's story irritated me, because it was full of all the smug, patronising, clichéd things that make me want to throw a lot of traditional romance novels against the walls. (Their eyes change colour to match one another's because they are in True Love! Gag.) Readable if you're a Crusie completist (though you might want to skip over the parts with Lizzy and Elric (no, really)), but still largely forgettable. ( )
