Rating: Summary: "Utterly Charming" really is! Review: A wonderful adult romance fantsy with real characters in challenging situations - well, as real as the real Prince Charming and Sleeping Beauty can be. This story, based in current times, is a totally delightful read, and leaves me waiting eagerly for the next book, Thoroughly Kissed.
Rating: Summary: Utterly Charming was utterly delightful! Review: Can I give a book 6 stars? I just finished reading Utterly Charming - a book I bought and couldn't put down! I read it in one night. It's about a modern day woman who's a lawyer and her client turns out to be THE prince charming! He's in a bit of a fix and needs her help. This story has tons of magic, a magician with a snake for a familiar and of course the requesite wicked witch! Oh yeah - sleeping beauty too! It was fantastic and she has a sequel coming out called Thoroughly Kissed that I can't wait to get! The characters were so dynamic and as a reader, I could feel the heroine's attraction for the hero, and MAN, I love a feisty heroine! If any of you like stories with magic, humor and fairytales, you'll really enjoy this book!
Rating: Summary: This book is utterly charming Review: I couldn't put it down. She made me fall in love with the characters. I even brought the book to work to read it. Very well written. Very Funny. This story itself is Utterly Cherming.
Rating: Summary: Utterly Charming Review: I found the title of this book right on target. This book is utterly charming. If you want blow by blow sex (boring!) this book is not for you. If you like a little fantasy, a fun book this is. A thoroughly modern lawyer mixed with characters out of mythology and a lot of laughs.

Rating: Summary: Utterly charming and hilariously fascinating! Review: I have just finished this Kristine Grayson novel and if you love the idea that magical myths throughout history might indeed be real, you'll love this book. I laughed aloud at the lawyer, Nora, who would accept what her eyes saw and deal with all such magic incidents from her legal mind's point of view. And the leading man, whoah, the only thing I would have changed would be more descriptive .... nah, each reader's imagination should supply her own romantic magic for a man we only wish we could conjur up!
Rating: Summary: I laughed out loud Review: I loved this book. I actually believed in magic for a little while! The dialog was great - fast paced, realistic & funny. Kristine Grayson just went on my list of "must haves" & I can't wait for her next release.
Rating: Summary: Charming, yes - Romantic, no... Review: I was a bit disappointed in this book. Yes, it was charming - and fun and funny! Grayson's imagination went into overtime for the plot and situations. The characters were oh! so cute and the fairytale action was non-stop. BUT WHERE WAS THE ROMANCE? There was so much that COULD have happened between Nora and Blackstone. But it didn't. They just didn't seem to connect. Read it anyway, though. I'm sure that if you are a Romance reader like me, you were a great fan of fairy tales in your youth. For that reason alone, read this utterly charming little book. It's pretty good.
Rating: Summary: Utterly Discharmed Review: I was excited about reading this book, thinking the book sounded very cute. Well, I was wrong. I didn't get a true since of the characters, none of them. But I know how the food taste to everyone, what they did in their bedroom, and so on. This would be a better book if the author cut down on description, do we really need to know what the Sea Bass Nora has for lunch taste like, and focus more on the charcters. So if you have a lot a free time and do not care what if a book is good or not, then go ahead and enjoy it.
Rating: Summary: whimsical but not romantic Review: I was looking forward to this book because the premise seemed so original. It just didn't deliver. Blackstone spends the whole book trying to figure out which woman (Nora or Emma) he really wants. He doesn't have a relationship with either one of them. Emma has been asleep for 1000 yrs and Nora was his lawyer for 1 day and he doesn't see her again for 10 yrs. Nora has a lawyer-sharp mind with a fantasy-believing personality that I just couldn't buy. It became ridiculous when she was facing down a powerful wizard and witch with "I'm not afraid of you, I'm a Lawyer!" Then ordering them out of her house! If your looking for a witty fairy tale this is OK (Love Me Tender by Sandra Hill is better), but if your looking for a romance (of any kind) this isn't it! KCS
