72. Annette Blair - The Kitchen Witch

I needed a nice, cute, easy read from the end of the semester hangover and this book fit the bill perfectly:

Logan Kilgarven gets a job as executive producer at the Salem, Massachusetts station WHCH, so he moves back to his hometown with his four-year-old son, Shane, in tow. One day he needs to run to the station to follow up on the burglar alarm going off. However, he can't find a babysitter. Normally he relied on his friend Jessie (a retired judge now giving cemetary tours) and his mother, but both were busy. Jessie suggested that he ask Melody Seabright his upstairs neighbor to help. Logan was hesitant at first since Mel is a self-proclaimed witch, but he was desperate. Mel quickly agreed to help as long as Logan tried to get her a job at WHCH. What Mel wanted was her own kitchen show. The problem was that she can't cook. However, she had the charisma and the audience appeal to pull it off and thus "The Kitchen Witch" was born.

In the side, both Mel and Logan are developing strong feelings for each other. However, Mel swore she would never date someone like her father, namely a "suit" which Logan was. Logan didn't want to date someone who wasn't a stable influence to his son Shane. He even went so far as to date the boss' daughter Tiffany, but she turned into a manipulating and trecherous bitch. But as anybody will tell you, you find love in the places you least expect it.

This was a great story. Yes it's a romance but the storyline was well written and the characters believable. Blair did such a fantastic job that I could fully believe that Mel would set her kitchen on fire as she was trying to cook. I highly recommend this one for romance buffs.
