Review: I adored this book. Claire Maxfield is such a fun character. She cracked me up. And who wouldn't fall for a guy like Dylan? Theresa Weir just gets better and better.

Summary: This story had me laughing out loud!
Review: I read it in bed while trying to keep from laughing so hard I'd wake my husband. Theresa's characters are real people, with real thoughts and insecurities and faults--that's probably why I love them so much. I can never wait for her next story, and then it's over too quickly.

Summary: Not a paranormal, though the cover and blurb indicate such.
Review: I've never read any of Ms. Weir's work before, and I'm not sure that this read would prompt me to buy another of her books. As a paranormal/romance fan I was very dissapointed that the book did not deliver on the promise of magic that it hinted at in the blurb and the opening scene. This is NOT a paranormal and the voodoo doll/birthday wish premise is what prompted me to buy it in the first place. Though the h/h interaction was all right, and she kept you guessing if Dylan is a bad/good guy, I felt there was a real problem with plot holes and undeveloped leads. I.E., the sheriff who's sweet on the heroine but doesn't check up on her on a regular basis, espcially after her 'car wreck' and her bad cold. A small town where *nobody* (?) gives the strange/new guy a grilling about where he lives, who he is, where he's from? I'd have to rate this average.

Summary: Magical
Review: If I could I would rate this book with 4.85 stars, I would. It was really good. It was funny (as usually seen with this author) and unpredictable. You can't go wrong with voodoo dolls, handcuffs and a sauna. It was really good- but it wasn't amazing (thats why I didn't give it a full 5). It lacked something- I'm not really sure what it was but it still lacked it. Don't get me wrong, it was a really good book but it's not my favorite book from this author.

Summary: Theresa Weir touches on the insecurities in many of us
Review: Maybe other people in the world never spend hours doubting themselves, or destroying relationships because they can't quite say what they really mean. Or maybe they're just afraid to admit it. As so many times in the past, Theresa Weir has tapped into primal fears and expressed them with love and humor. Both Dylan and Claire are on the run from life and themselves; it's definitely an expression of "Some Kind of Magic" that they find each other. Readers who want perfect heroines and poster quality heroes won't enjoy this book. For the rest of us, it's a cozy read by the winter fire to warm you up from the inside out. It's also an expression of hope for all of us who hope one day to stumble into happily ever after. You have to take the risk of that first step

Summary: Pure Mate!
Review: On Claire's thirtieth birthday she blows out the candles on her cake and wishes for some excitement in her life. Even though she did not manage to blow out all the candles, her wish came true. She was carjacked at gunpoint! The tables turn and Dylan becomes the captive. Snowed in at Claire's mountain cabin with no phone. The longer the two are together, they see that there is more to each other than meets the eye. "Mothball Lady" is an excellent painter. "Escaped Fugitive" is nothing of the sort. Claire is in love with Dylan, but thinks he does not REALLY return the feelings. Claire had been using a birthday present from a friend. A voo-doo doll. If only he could love her for herself, she would hide him from the law forever! This one will give you the "warm fuzzies" at the end. I laughed out loud at parts and sighed in envy at others. The perfect read for cold and lonely nights.***

Summary: Unusual, refreshing, and funny contemporary romance
Review: Some Kind of Magic was the first book I read by Theresa Weir and I will definitely seek out more of her books. This is a funny and charming story with gentle leads and realistic personalities. There is no high suspense or other contrived means to lengthen the book. It is mostly about two people who meet under very odd and misunderstood circumstances. Those misunderstandings, which the hero allows to continue, are the greatest challenge facing this couple. Claire Maxfield is an artist just turning thirty. Her fairly tacky boyfriend has just left her and her self-esteem is somewhat lacking. One night, as she steps inside her car to go home, a strange man holds her at gunpoint from the backseat and demands she take him to her home. Claire lives in an isolated home far from town. She doesn't believe in phones and is known to keep to herself for days at a time. Therefore, it doesn't seem odd when she doesn't show up for some days because she is a hostage - or rather - maybe she holds the hostage - in her home. It's a comedy of errors and beginning love as each holds the other captive. Claire finds she can't really believe he is that convict on the run from the plane crash or is he? It doesn't seem to really matter. Dylan is the mystery man in the back seat who demands of Claire to take him to her home. He has been injured and needs a place to recover. Dylan is a hard one for the reader to figure out. Don't try to guess too early on because you won't be right. When the clues start to drop about his identity, the reader figures out who he probably but he is still one odd character for a romance hero. And his improbable identity is very refreshing. I doubt you have run across this one before. The love story of Dylan and Claire is fun, light reading. Both her hero and heroine are very likable characters although neither seems to have much self-confidence. As secrets are exposed on the parts of both leads, deeper intimacy is found and the story gets only better. There are some sensual scenes that definitely deserve a solid 4.0 out of 5.0 (see More About Me for rating guidelines). Some Kind of Magic is a notch above most humorous contemporary novels we see written again and again. It doesn't follow the same old romance plot lines. The only reason I rated this book four stars rather than five stars is that it takes a pretty in-depth book for me to give that highest rating. I was totally captivated by this fresh and funny book. I think you will be too
