Summary: Tedious
Review: I was surprised at how badly written this novel was. The character dialogue is laughable and the couple is bland and boring. Don't waste your time.

Summary: Should have been good, but was awful
Review: This is the only romance book I can remember where I was hoping against hope that couple didn't get together. Finally, I figured maybe they deserved each other. This was an utterly tiresome story. If you want to watch a relationship advance by slow, boring inches, this is your book. The guy actually says several times "Ashley, I'm getting more impressed with you". Who says that?? The magic part of the story was decent, and often funny. The rest was just bad, BAD writing...

Summary: very enjoyable romance
Review: When she was sixteen, Ashley Douglas declared her undying love for her brother's best friend Jordan Bennett, but everyone else laughed at her puppy love. Seven years later, Ashley still wants Jordan. However, he sees her as the out-of-control spending younger sister of Zach. Case in point: in there first meeting in several years, the extremely frugal Jordan watches her carry an old bowl she just wasted her money on buying.Ashley's luck appears to have changed to include Jordan suddenly desiring her. Jordan, who just accepted the chef's job at the New Orleans' hotel where she is the assistant to the manager, cannot stay away from her. He knows that they are opposites as she cannot resist shopping while he still carries the scars of his family's fiscal problems. Only magic could find a way to close the gap. Then again, Ashley has purchased a magical bowl "ELVIS" that plans to teach her how to control her spending and help her attain her true love. BEDAZZLED is a humorous, weird but definitely enjoyable contemporary romance. The story line focuses on two opposites falling in love with the help of a magical essence. Though Jordan and Ashley are an endearing couple, Elvis the gourmet bowl steals the plot. Fans who relish a touch of the absurd in their novels will be dazzled by Christine Holden's enchanting tale and demand the return of what is sure to be everyone's favorite bowl. Harriet Klausner
