^{The Story   Excerpt}

The Works Like Magick Employment Agency has a reputation for perfectly matching clients with magickal temps. So when McKenna Greylock requests a handyman, the gorgeous Bastian Dragonelli arrives to repair her B&B...and fire up her bedroom.

"Forget the vampires and demons, give me the dragons! Full of suspense, humor, and romance, this novel is sure to please any paranormal or fantasy fan. For anyone who read the author's novel "The Kitchen Witch," you will be treated to a cameo or two by Melody Seabright! ...one more way the author makes her stories special. Annette Blair is one in a billion!" ~Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews

"Naked Dragon was simply amazing. It kept me turning pages, laughing, ahh-ing, and at the end- crying. I fell completely in love with Bastian and I found myself wanting to take him out of the book and keep him all for myself! :) This is a fantastic book, one of her best! Out of five stars I would rate this book a 9! A MUST READ!" Writingirl_15, Barnes & Noble

“In this book, it is not so much the end as the journey, and this is one voyage you’ll enjoy all the way through…a laugh-out-loud read. It is in her characters that Blair’s talent shines. Their dialogue sparkles so much you’ll need sunglasses.” Ann, formerly of Scribesworld

"The first Works Like Magick urban romantic fantasy is a fun lighthearted entertaining tale that is filled with magic mostly because of the hero’s struggles to adapt to modern society. Amusing yet with a serious subplot, as no one escapes the wrath of Killian, fans will enjoy the naked Dragon who learns what a lance truly is and its true purpose from his beloved employer."  Harriet Klausner

"Blair's first story in her new Works Like Magick series introduces wonderfully magical dragon men. The adjustments the hero must make to fit into this modern world are delightfully handled, and the main characters' interactions with each other and those around them make for a fun and enjoyable escape from reality. HOT." ~Susan Mobley, RT

"NAKED DRAGON A WORKS LIKE MAGICK NOVEL is a highly entertaining magickal read. Annette Blair once again proves why she’s on my auto buy list. Everything I have ever read by this author has a place on my keeper shelf. I can’t wait to see where Annette Blair takes this series next. I have to admit, I cried at the end. A truly heartfelt sigh worthy ending. I highly recommend this book to all lovers of magick and true love."  Chere Gruver, ParaNormalRomance

Excerpt   The Story

Maddie Cutler has it all in the bag: fashion, magic--and murder! If that dress could talk...

The second entry sparkles in bestselling author Annette Blair’s enchanting Vintage Magic Mystery Series for Berkley Prime Crime starring Madeira Cutler, a psychic dress designer--and daughter of a witch--who "reads" vintage clothes and follows their clues.

"Warm, endearing and full of magic! Annette Blair's "Vintage Magic" series is one of the most adorable, fascinating cozy mystery series I have run across. Another fast-paced novel that keeps the reader entertained from the word go! Annette's characters are warm & endearing, & you feel as if you're visiting old friends. I love the side love story between old Mrs. Sweet & her ghostly boyfriend, Dante. And I love that Blair includes Maddie's familiar, a cute little cat named Chakra. I look forward to more of the Cutler family & Mystic, Connecticut from this wonderful author." Sharon Chance, FreshFiction.com

Five Fangs for Larceny and Lace Annette Blair's whimsical and witty writing style is true magic on the page. She never disappoints. I love Blair's use of words and the way she blends magic and vintage clothing into the stories like they are characters themselves, especially the clothes. It just adds another element, another layer to the story cake that makes it that much more interesting. I fell in love with Blair's writing when I found her witch trilogies, such sexy works. This new series with it's blend of magic and mystery really has me hooked. I can't wait to read more Vintage Magic Mysteries. Roxanne Rhoads

"I'm not sure there is a grade good enough for this baby, so I'm bestowing my first Grade A++" "Awesome first person narrative, colorful, smart and sassy heroine, touching secondary characters including a romantic ghost pining for his lost love, now 103 years old, as well as a lovely secondary story line...snappy dialogue, intriguing mystery, and finally, delicious sexual tension... Blair's writing is an absolute breath of fresh air...witty, original, perfectly-paced, and filled with fascinating tidbits. The vintage clothing angle rocks...the delicious and sexy undercurrents were so totally satisfying. The only thing that makes me sad about this book is that it's over. All right, it's confession time. I actually cried TWO times while reading this book. The scene where Maddie and her father both smell chocolate, a paranormal indicator that her dead mother's presence is being felt by both of them, was so sweet and touching, I welled up and cried. And the final scene of this book is absolutely wondrous! It was hands-down the best scene in a book I have read in ....well, forever. So romantic, so sweet, so embarrassed I was blubbering when my kids got home. Thank you, Annette Blair, I bow to the greatness that is this book. I'm not sure there's a grade good enough for this baby, so I'm bestowing my first Grade A++" Penelope, Penelope's Romance Reviews

"Blair has created some very flamboyant and interesting characters for the Vintage Magic series. Each character is well developed and the interactions and witty dialogue make the book a joy to read. Every chapter is begun with a fashion related quotation and the book includes Tips for Vintage Handbag Lovers and directions to Make Your Own Clutch. If you want a book you can just sit back and enjoy, following along in the lives of people you grow to care about, give this series a try. I'm fashion impaired and feel dressing up means there are no stains on my jeans or my shirt front and I love this series." GUMSHOE, A Literary Investigation

"Blair's second Vintage Magic mystery is a wonderful investigative tale that will have armchair readers spellbound trying to solve the case before Maddie can. With whimsy, humor and Dante to round out the magic, fans will enjoy this entertaining paranormal amateur sleuth while wondering if Lytton will become the latest cop bewitched by Maddie."  Harriet Klausner

"LARCENY AND LACE delivers a follow-up tale that is every bit as satisfying as the first Vintage Magic novel, or perhaps may even be better than the original!  Maddie’s knowledge of fashion is amazing... Readers may start rooting for the “favorite” male to pair up with Maddie—my money is on Werner...  Friendship and magic are essential to Maddie’s tale, and we see her slowly start to embrace the magical side of life…albeit a bit cautiously!  LARCENY AND LACE is a fun whodunit that keeps readers guessing and ensnared…waiting (impatiently) for the next Vintage Magic tale." The Romance Readers Connection, Angela Etheridge

“LARCENY AND LACE is another fast-paced novel that keeps the reader entertained from the word go! Blair’s characters are warm and endearing, and you feel as if you’re visiting old friends among the pages. I love the side love story between old Mrs. Sweet and her ghostly boyfriend, Dante. And I love that Blair includes Maddie’s familiar, a cute little cat named Chakra, in the story. I look forward to more stories of the Cutler family and Mystic, Connecticut from this wonderful author." Sharon's Garden of Book Reviews

"You simply HAVE to admit that a vintage shop owner with psychometric ability just oozes over with possibilities! I am SO ready for the next mystery! Brava! "Huntress Reviews, Detra Fitch

RT TOP PICK! "A wonderful book...a beguiling series starring a dress designer/vintage clothes collector with paranormal gifts...great setting, intriguing mystery, & characters so well developed, even the villain has elaborate layers...a winner." Page Traynor

Night Owl TOP PICK!"Annette Blair has given us a very special mystery with "A Veiled Deception" her first in A Vintage Magic Mystery Series! There are plenty of chills and lots of humor along the way as you try and solve the mystery with Maddie and her friends. If you are looking for a great mystery with some paranormal elements and a little romance, you have all that and more...Annette Blair is a great storyteller and has her own brand of magic for mysteries! I am looking forward to reading her second book in A Vintage Magic Mystery Series "Larceny and Lace" which is out now!" Janean Sparks
 

"Annette Blair brings her characters to vivid life...gives this mystery her signature style...magic. Fun, witty, highly recommended." Detra Fitch, Huntress

Highly recommended: A+ "A Veiled Deception is not your typical romance. It's actually a mystery. But if you enjoy Blair's Witch Series, I guarantee you will [love] this fun, flirty, adorable story...A delicious combination! Blair has written her best book yet & I'm looking forward to more of her "romantic mysteries." My favorite part of Blair's writing is her unique voice (also fun, flirty & snappy!) which lends itself perfectly to this genre. I literally could not put the book down until I finished (midnight).  Wonderful."  Penelope

A Golden Angel Recommended Read: "The first book in Annette Blair’s new Vintage Magic Mystery series, A Veiled Deception, is my favorite book to date. She has more than done it again; she has surpassed herself! This book has the classic Annette Blair style with the quirky, fun, twist of paranormal & the heated romantic interest we have all come to love in her previous series." Stephanie, Fallen Angel Reviews

"Annette Blair, renowned for her sensational bewitching romantic fantasies provides a new series filled with humor, the paranormal, two related mysteries, & of course romance...an outstanding read." Harriet Klausner

"Stunning Start to a new & magical mystery series. A VEILED DECEPTION by Annette Blair is...phenomenal. Ms. Blair beautifully captures New England's ambiance & mystique as she weaves a well-crafted mystery into the threads of Maddie Cutler's life. As with all of Ms. Blair's stories, this one is going on my keeper shelf!" Paula Myers, Fresh Fiction

"This is not just the story of a murder, but of one woman's journey to find herself...If this is an example of Annette Blair's talent for storytelling, I intend to pick up all her back titles. The dialogue is witty, there's humor throughout, with friendship & family, sexual tension without revolving around sex...the plot zings along. I very highly recommend this story..." Chere Gruver, ParaNormalRomance

"In Annette Blair's excellent mystery novel A Veiled Deception, Madeira Cutler, an assistant to a fashion designer, returns to her New England home town to help organize her sister's wedding. Like Blair's previous novels, it combines elements of the mystery & supernatural genres & does both effectively. The supernatural aspects play out well, particularly in that Madeira is experiencing them for the first time. A good start to a new series, great example of the supernatural mystery genre." Curled up with a Good Book

"Maddie is a delightful character who has an affinity with vintage clothing--she can see into the lives of past wearers. There are several threads  & we sit on the edge of our seats to see how they're sewn together. A Veiled Deception has something for everyone--sexy men, humor, love & a fantastic plot with suspense and danger. If you love all these aspects woven into one, Annette’s Blair’s A Veiled Deception is perfect!" Debbie Guyette, SingleTitles CataRomance

"I have enjoyed Annette Blair’s chick-lit-meets-witch stories since she wrote The Kitchen Witch. Blair definitely brings her “A” game with A Veiled Deception, the launch of her new magical cozy mystery series. Maddie is a delightful and interesting character that the reader can connect with immediately, and the clever entwining of the murder mystery with a chick-lit attention to fashion and the paranormal bent with regards to Maggie’s special powers is brilliantly effective. Surrounded by an eclectic mix of supporting characters, some of whom are ghosts (!), Maggie is determined to clear her family name and get her sister to the alter so she can start her happily-ever-after. Blair’s second Vintage Magic Mystery, Larceny and Lace, is due out in August 2009 and I, for one, can’t wait to see what Maddie gets involved in next."  Crystal

The story     Excerpt

Night Owl TOP PICK! "If this book is a reflection of Ms. Blair's work, I highly recommend all of her books." Terri, Night Owl Romance

"Labeled a Contemporary Romance, this book has it all. With Ms. Blair's typical paranormal flair, it will leave you gasping for more. ... many romance novels include one person's idea of great sex, but this book has something for nearly everyone. As the last in her Triplet Witch series she definitely ends it with a bang, but it is left open should she wish to visit the Cartwright family again." Kari, Oh the Books I Have Read

This book rocked the house! A+ "Let me just say, oh how refreshing it is to be reading an author whose books are getting BETTER as the series progresses, instead of steadily losing the magic. Blair's voice has matured into a highly entertaining, engaging & "spell-binding" style of writing. I simply could not put this book down. I LOVE when that happens. The pacing of her books is absolutely perfect. They're fast, intense & suck the reader in with a vengeance. Never Been Witched is the story of Destiny (the final of the identical triplet witches) & Morgan, a disbeliever with hidden secrets. Honest to God, no one writes a love scene like Blair. They are downright juicy (in a really good way) fun, flirty, sexy, completely original. And finding an original sex scene in romance is no small feat. Blair weaves the emotional angle & sexual attraction together in a totally convincing way, another challenge for every romance author. The sweet paranormal touches, humorous language and snappy dialogue are superb. Blair is setting a high bar for herself and future works, & I have no doubt she will rise to the challenge. Penelope

A+ "The love scenes are extra fun in this book. Why, you ask? Huh-uh. Not going to say. Just know Morgan is having the time of his life when having sex with Destiny. I thoroughly enjoyed these two characters on their journey to finding each other. The rest of the family does make it back near the end of the book, and it’s just that much more fun when they do arrive. I’m glad I discovered Annette Blair. It’s bittersweet leaving these stories and characters behind, but I know more fantastic reading is ahead with Ms. Blair’s new series." Sandy M, The Good, the Bad, and the Unread

"The author combines magic & love in such a way that even a statue would find its heart moved. Annette Blair's writing is pure magic! Highly recommended!"  Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews

"A superb tale starring a lead couple in denial & a matchmaking ghostly sibling with her own angel. As with the previous two, the story line is whimsical but heart-wrenching... Magician Annette Blair provides a terrific finish to an entertaining saga."  Harriett Klausner

A Golden Angel Recommended Read: "I highly recommend this series & especially this third book of the trilogy to anyone who loves magic, humor, & romance mixed with delightful characters guaranteed to keep you entertained & charmed!" Stephanie, Fallen Angel Reviews

"The last of Annette Blair’s witch trilogy is definitely, in this reviewer’s opinion, the greatest, and that's saying a lot as the two preceding tales are superb ...mayhem and humor...in this very sexy & highly entertaining story.  NEVER BEEN WITCHED is a tender love story of two extraordinary souls... Wow! Ms. Blair continues to delight & amaze her fans with her mystical tales & magnificent talent." Betty Cox, ReaderToReader

"A wonderful tale of love, understanding & forgiveness, told with passion & humor. The reader will be captivated from the first & find it difficult to put down this enchanting story. Destiny & Morgan are multilayered ...Their leap of faith with one another is touching & humbling, with a good amount of hilarity & eroticism tossed in as only Ms. Blair can...storytelling at its finest."  Paula Myers, Fresh Fiction

2009 A So. Magic Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence Finalist

Golden Angel Recommended Read: "Gone With the Witch is as delightful and whimsical as the previous tales...Hilarious dialog has come to be the norm in Annette Blair’s Witch books but she has managed to raise the bar in Gone With the Witch. At some points I was actually giggling out loud...Gone With the Witch is a book that I would recommend to anyone!" Hayley, Fallen Angel Reviews

Simply Romance Reviews Outstanding Read: "It's hot, sexy, and incredibly kinky. It's also sweet, charming, and causes butterflies to well up in the reader's stomach. You will laugh, you might even cry. However, no matter where your emotions take you, Gone With the Witch will take you on a wild ride." Rebekah

Romance Reader at Heart Top Pick Award: "A wonderfully woven tale of mischief, with spells and magick thrown in for fun...everything I had hoped for—and more. I could not put this book down...Annette Blair is an auto buy for me as she never disappoints with her magickal stories of love!" Maame Kanbi

A Five Blue Ribbon Recommended Read: "Great fun! Wonderful characters, riveting storyline...sensuous undercurrents ...phenomenal... Storm is a hoot!  She had me rolling in laughter...Annette Blair always has fun with her witch characters...very evident in this story. If you’ve never read her before, please do! I guarantee you’ll be a die-hard fan in no time." ~Amanda Haffery, Romance Junkies

Barbara Vey's Publisher's Weekly Blog Review: "Storm Cartwright is the "bad" triplet with her Goth looks and blue hair. Storm meets her match in Aiden McCloud, wandering biker. Together, they fulfill Storm's destiny...although it requires kidnapping, seduction, and magic.  Storm is my favorite triplet; for her complexity of caring, facing her own issues, and her fight. Blair's characters make the story come to life..."  Anna
 

"Saucy, fun and laced with a marvelous sense of humor...loads of fun. If you love Susan Elizabeth Phillips Lady Be Good, this is a similar kind of road trip with a heroine who happens to be a witch. We laughed ourselves silly..."  Rendezvous, the Romance Bookstore

"A steamy romp with constant sexual tension...Just when the reader thinks that the sex and humor is all there is (and who’s complaining when said sex is so yummy and emotionally satisfying?), surprises for both Aiden and Storm add depth and new insights. Some light consensual bondage (purple furry handcuffs: ‘nuff said!) is sensual and at times downright funny rather than kinky. The steam level is very similar, and equally as well done, to books by Lori Foster. I recommend this one for a very fun read though you may need a few cold showers." Crystal, Kwips and Kritiques

"OMG, what a fantastically fun story! GONE WITH THE WITCH has it all; sensuously personable characters, breath-taking romance and a story line that is amusing and totally unique. Talented Annette Blair continues her triplets with Storm’s story, my favorite of the triplets. GONE WITH THE WITCH, don’t you love that title, is a stand alone but I bet you won’t be able to resist buying just this one book by Annette Blair; she is addictive!  Sultry." Sensual & Erotic Ecataromance

"Spellbinding...totally knocked my socks off! Once again I find myself in awe over the author's ability to make the characters so memorable... Annette Blair writes priceless romance adventures." Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews

"GONE WITH THE WITCH is sensual, close to being erotic...a touching emotional tale. I’ve read all the ‘witchy’ tales from Ms. Blair...I recommend them all for your reading pleasure." Carol Carter, Romance Reviews Today

"Annette Blair’s second contribution to her Triplet trilogy should come with oven mitts as it is hot, hot, hot. The ending is just wonderful, with fantastic characters and a strong narrative. If the reader likes her romantic comedies just shy of being classified as erotica, this is definitely the book for you!  Believe me, this is one road trip you do not want to miss!" Betty Cox, Reader to Reader

"An emotionally charged story...light, bawdy, entertaining fun...hysterically outrageous...laugh-out-loud...tugged at the heart...a tale of two people who've lived on the surface, afraid to seek greater depth to their existence for fear of being hurt again. Storm and Aiden are made for one another, and their discovery of this fact makes a truly satisfying story. A definite addition to my keeper shelf."  Paula Myers, Fresh Fiction

"Another fantastic book by Blair!!!! The chemistry between Storm and Aiden sizzles on the page, and the emotion evoked by the *crying babies* Storm hears is incredible. One of my favorite contemporary romance writers, Blair certainly does not dissapoint in her 2nd book of the Cartwright Triplet Witch Trilogy. I also had the honor of meeting and having my book signed by Ms. Blair, which of course made it even better for me!!!!! I am anxiously awaiting Destiny's story which is coming out early next year!!! :)" 5/5, Love to Read

"GONE WITH THE WITCH put me in Blair Witch Heaven. The story pays out on all of its promises: sassy, sexy, funny & heartwarming." Justine

 "Sex and the Psychic Witch, the first book in Annette Blair's Triplet Witch Trilogy, is a laugh-out-loud, heart-pounding, passionate good time. The characters are engaging , their banter and barbs as sizzling as their lovemaking. Fun and entertaining with unexpected twists thrown in leving you misty-eyed between laughs. King and Harmony are a delight, opposites in every way, and their playfulness adds so much. Vintage Annette Blair, and I can't wait for Harmony's sisters' books..." Sandra Marlow

"The attraction between King and Harmony was evident from the first and only got hotter...The magical elements were not overdone and it was especially great to see the Cartwright’s positive interpretation of their powers rather than preconceived negative connotations...Sex and The Psychic Witch is a great addition to any Paranormal romance readers collection!" M Kanbi, Paranormal Romance Writers

"More hot scenes than in the author's previous stories...spine chills...outrageous stunts...a witchy climax that will warm your very soul.  Out-Freaking-Standing!" Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews

"The Kitchen Witch is one of the best romantic comedies I've ever read, bar none." Deirdre Martin

"Bewitching! Full of charm, humor, sensuality & outstanding secondary characters...an easy-reading, reader-pleasing story that makes you feel good all over." RTR

"Steamy, sexy, magical. I laughed out loud at Melody’s kitchen disasters--not since Stephanie Plum have I read about exploding poultry. This book is delightful. I can only hope that Annette Blair will consider coming back to Salem to bring more romance to its residents." Roundtable

"Pure magic. THE KITCHEN WITCH sizzles. Ms. Blair's writing is as smooth as a fine Kentucky bourbon. Captivating. Sexy, fun, top notch entertainment." RRAH 

"Romantic comedy at its most subtle and finest. Magic and love are woven into the story with a deft touch."  A Romance Review

"The characters are remarkably real...and not the flat, 2-dimensional characters that one sees so often in romance novels. I fell in love with Melody for her beauty and her bravery, while loving her all the more for her ditzyness, clumsiness, and willingness to give up on herself. Logan’s struggle with his own flaws makes him so much more real and endearing – not to mention giving Melody (and himself) needless trouble. It’s a classic tale of two people in love (or lust), constantly getting in their own way. Well-written, funny and charming, with scenes so hot you can feel the frustration, this is a great book. I laughed, I cried, I laughed again, I cried some more, and then I laughed and cried at the same time."  Library Dragon's Den

The whole book is an excellent, entertaining read...” Donna, A Novel Romance
