A cute tale full of love, humor and a bit of magic. I enjoyed the read very much and it was a wonderful light read. ( )

This book is a solid B. Not too horrendous, but not the greatest romance novel ever — and actually, this book would have been just dandy without the romance bits. ... please read the full review at: http://tipsyreader.com/books/reviews/book-review-a-taste-of-magic/ ( )

I have come to not expect too much from the books I get for free or super cheap from my Kindle. This was such a treat. This is a well written, laugh out loud, and utterly adorable story about a woman named Elizabeth who finds she has been given magic that she can bake into her treats. Of course, nothing is easy and although some of her wishes work just the way she expects them too, many others have bad or at least unpredictable results.

I found Liz and her entire family to be charming and engaging. Sometimes I would get annoyed with Liz because I could see something that she could not. To give her credit she wasn't too far behind me, and she always took action to get the problems repaired.

This is a romance which usually isn't my favorite kind of story, but there is certainly enough strong plot, pacing, comedy, and magic to keep me up late reading the book. I found out there are three more sequels I can't wait to read also!

So even if this book isn't free or cheap when you consider buying it, know that it is definitely a book that was worth reading, most especially if you enjoy comical romance. ( )

This review is also on my blog, Clover Hill Book Reviews.

The cover on this draws you to the lips on it. A Taste of Magic is the name of the main character, Elizabeth Stephens, bakery shop. The book is full of charismatic, charming characters. I found this easy to read and keep up with. The magic, when it happened, gave Elizabeth, and those around her freedom to act on impulse and in cases, with abandonment, and in ways they might not have normally behaved.

Elizabeth tries to deal with life's unpredictable ups and downs, and eventually believes in herself enough to choose what is right for her. I enjoyed her grandmother's character. I was surprised that there was only one sex scene, especially when the cover oozes kiss-ability and sex appeal.

It's always a pleasure to read books with men in uniform ;p so this one was enjoyable, and witty. I loved the gypsy element that was mixed into the magical theme. I'm looking forward to reading the rest in this series. ( )

I enjoyed this book, so much I had a hard time putting it down. It was delightful, charming, feel good story. I fell In love with the characters instantly. It was great watching Elizabeth discover her new talent while beginning to live life after such a heartache. If you like a bit of humor with your romance your gonna really enjoy A Taste of Magic. ( )
