5 STARS!

The Cartwright sisters are identical triplets. Each have their own unique psychic gift, in addition to the bonds they share together. Storm is the Goth sister, blue hair color and all. No one understands Storm's power. Storm hears and sees the present, of all things. For most of her life, Storm has been hearing children crying. Her sisters, Harmony and Destiny, thought it was buried guilt making her hallucinate and they kept mute about it. In truth, Storm needs to go on a journey and learn what her spiritual psychic mandate is. Since Storm keeps hearing a baby cry whenever she is around Aiden McCloud, the hunky best man at Harmony's wedding, she decides to follow the sound of the cries.

 

Aiden McCloud is a wanderer. He has never wanted to set down roots. Aiden owns a motor home and goes where ever he desires. Lately, however, he has been desiring a certain sorceress with blue hair and sassy attitude. "How can a guy ignore a walking orgasm in the shape of a Goddess with magick laughter and satin skin?" But Storm's talk about going on a psychic journey to find a crying baby somehow connected to him just scares Aiden. Therefore, Aiden did what any brave man would do in that situation; he ran! Too bad for him that Storm's powers include telekinesis, if she is passionately mad enough, and she is beyond furious when Aiden tries to run. Time for a little abduction.

 

Once Aiden convinces himself that he would go along with Storm's quest of finding a crying baby somehow connected to him (just to prove her wrong, of course), his eyes begin to really open. On their journey, Storm stops the motor home whenever she hears a crying baby's psychic plea. Seeing Storm rescue a few kids begins to shake him up. After all, if Storm was right about those kids in need, then perhaps she really does hear... No! Not something he wants to think about. This is not all fun for Storm either. Her gift for locating kids in need of rescuing leads her to a casino. Within, Storm meets an older version of herself, except with a wicked way of looking at life. Yes, "throw a little water on that woman and watch her melt. Her name is NOT Glinda!" Storm also finds an unexpected surprise. (But you must read to find out what it is.)

 

As the two travel, their attraction to each other intensifies to frightening proportions. Their little love trip is even hitting the national news. But most importantly, Storm must learn to trust her instincts, accept her powers, and be true to herself if she were ever to have any hope of ever loving a wanderer.

 

A spellbinding story that totally knocked my socks off! No ghosts this time around. Instead, a much more serious topic is covered. Once again I find myself in awe over the author's ability to make the characters so memorable. This is perfect for your next vacation or day alone and will leave you with a big smile on your face. Author Annette Blair writes priceless romance adventures. ~Detra Fitch

Gone With the Witch

5 Blue Ribbons

 

GONE WITH THE WITCH was great fun! Wonderful characters, a riveting storyline and a sensuous undercurrent are just a few of the things that made this such a phenomenal story.

 

Storm Cartwright's sister is getting married and Storm is completely smitten with the best man, Aiden. By the way, this isn't exactly a normal wedding—Storm and her sisters are witches. Each holding a different power, Storm's is clairvoyance and clairaudience. She is able to hear voices that lead her where she needs to go. Since Storm and Aiden met, she has been able to hear a baby cry—his baby, she believes and he denies. Determined to kidnap Aiden (if he won't go willingly) and track down the crying baby, Storm plans on using this to her advantage to be alone with him. They've been fighting their attraction long enough. It's time to seal the deal and get what they both want and need.

 

Aiden's little witch is driving him insane. He'd love nothing more than to toss her onto the nearest surface and take her. Unfortunately, Storm isn't the type of woman Aiden can be with once and leave behind. Aiden isn't looking for a long term relationship. He wants to be able to do what he wants, when he wants, without answering to anyone. If only he could get both Storm and the image of the crying baby out of his head. How the heck is he supposed to resist? Maybe he should just go with Storm…

 

GONE WITH THE WITCH was great fun! Wonderful characters, a riveting storyline and a sensuous undercurrent are just a few of the things that made this such a phenomenal story. Storm is a hoot! She had me rolling in laughter through the entire story. She is such a perfect counterpoint to Aiden's more staid personality. She's wild and carefree while Aiden has his own surefire beliefs about everything. The romance that blooms between these two, when Aiden finally gives in, will have reader's hearts melting. The adventure Aiden and Storm embark on to find this crying baby will have you riveted to the pages dying to know how it's all going to work out. Annette Blair always has fun with her witch characters and it is 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

Romantic Times

This second story about psychic triplets is just as good as the first. Again there is plenty of magic and spell casting, as well as lots of hot, sexy situations. There are a number of familiar characters mentioned and some charming new ones, and both main characters develop wonderfully over the course of the story.

Summary: Since meeting Aiden, Storm's psychic gifts have kicked into overdrive. Not only that, when she's around him she can hear a baby crying. Storm is sure that it's his little girl. Unable to persuade him to come with her in search of this child, Storm abducts Aiden and heads out with him in his motor home.

After finally convincing him to follow her, Storm's gift for finding children in need is revealed. She also makes some personal discoveries that change her life--and Aiden's as well. (Berkley Sensation, May, 304 pp., $6.99) HOT

Salem, Massachusetts - Present Day

GONE WITH THE WITCH opens with the wedding of Harmony and King, a continuance of the first book (SEX AND THE PSYCHIC WITCH – August 2007) in this witchy trilogy.  Harmony, Destiny, and Storm are the triplets introduced in Blair’s first witch trilogy that began with THE KITCHEN WITCH. GONE WITH THE WITCH is Storm’s story. She is the rebellious Goth witch with the smart, sassy attitude, a personality brought into her story. Storm is the only triplet who hasn’t found her niche in life, but as her story unfolds, she will learn her destiny. One hunky man named Aiden McCloud is the catalyst to Storm’s future, and she kidnaps and seduces him to begin their journey.

The first portion of this story is purely seduction and erotic sensuality, and I began to wonder if there was going to be a story. And then the plot began to develop. Both Aiden and Storm cleverly hide their insecurities; Aiden by travels and no commitments, and Storm by a smart mouth and rebellious attitude. Storm hears a baby’s cry and links the child to Aiden, who denies any possibility of a child being his. But Storm is determined that finding this baby is her destiny, and she needs Aiden with her to find the child. Their journey will bring healing and understanding along with unexpected surprises that shock them both as their natural warmth and strength emerge.

GONE WITH THE WITCH is sensual, close to being erotic, but redeems itself with a touching emotional tale. I’ve read all of the ‘witchy’ tales from Ms. Blair, and found this to stand on its own, but made even better having known many of the characters previously. I would recommend them all for your reading pleasure. ~Carol Carter

Fresh Fiction Review

Each triplet in the Cartwright family possesses a special gift, though Storm has never understood hers. Are the crying children she hears penance for a wild past, or something more? After meeting sexy Aiden McCloud, she begins hearing a child cry, a cry that won't go away, leaving her determined to get to the bottom of this odd phenomena with or without Aiden's assistance.

Aiden doesn't believe in the paranormal, and he doesn't believe that the strong attraction he feels for the aptly named Storm is anything more than lust brought on by extended celibacy. He's in town for the wedding of his friend, but as soon as the "I Do's" are said, he's off the island and on the road, leaving Massachusetts and the sexy, psychic witch far behind, his emotions and more volatile body parts untouched.

Storm knows Aiden plans to run as soon as Harmony and King are married, and she has a plan of her own. With the reluctant Aiden handcuffed to the bed in the back, she navigates the home on wheels across the state, guided only by the sound of the crying child she hears whenever she's near him.

What begins as an erotically charged trip quickly changes into a journey of self-discovery for both Aiden and Storm. Storm begins to realize the full potential of her psychic gift as she encounters more than one child in need of her assistance, including one totally unexpected smart-mouthed pre-teen with much closer ties than Storm could ever have imagined. For Aiden, the discovery of what the crying child means for him brings more joy and sorrow than he could have ever imagined, while at the same time threatening his bond with the woman who's come to mean more to him than he would have ever believed.

Annette Blair's GONE WITH THE WITCH, the latest in her saga of Salem Witches that began with THE KITCHEN WITCH, is an emotionally charged story of a couple overcoming obstacles from their past as they try to discover if the passion they share is enough to build a future together. GONE WITH THE WITCH starts out as somewhat light, bawdy, entertaining fun, which is what I thoroughly enjoy in all of Ms. Blair's books. She can be hysterically outrageous, and I can count on several laugh-out-loud moments. This story tugged at the heart as I was drawn into a tale of two people who've lived on the surface of life, afraid to seek greater depth to their existence for fear of being hurt yet again. Storm and Aiden are made for one another, and their discovery of this fact makes a truly satisfying story. This book is a definite addition to my keeper shelf.  Paula Myers

Sensual and Erotic Ecataromance

Storm hears a baby crying and is determined to find and reunite it with its father, Aiden. Storm is a little eccentric and fanatical and Aiden is completely in lust with her but he is not about to take off to parts unknown to find some phantom baby that he knows does not exist. That leaves Storm with only one alternative; she kidnaps Aiden, handcuffing him to the bed in his RV, I mean traveling home.

After some strong persuasion and extraordinary sex play, Aiden is convinced to go along with Storm, especially after she rescues a crying baby through her psychic abilities. But it is not THE baby and the journey continues with Storm and Aiden growing closer to each other and the crying babe.

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 triplet witchy books with Storm’s story, my favorite of the triplets. Family secrets are exposed in this book and add to the understanding of the triplets. GONE WITH THE WITCH, don’t you love that title, is a stand alone book but I bet you won’t be able to resist buying just this one book by Annette Blair; she is addictive! by Sensual Admin

Reader to Reader

Immediately after her sister Harmony’s wedding to King (Sex and the Psychic Witch), Storm Cartwright actually kidnaps hunky antiques restorer Aiden McCloud -- and in his very own motor home.   The two have been dancing around the erotic connection between them for weeks now, and Storm has decided enough is enough.   Aiden is stripped naked and handcuffed to his king-sized bed during the first leg of this journey to-who-knows-where.   Storm knows that if her lover is set free he will take her home and dump her, and she’s not going to let that happen.  

Storm hears a baby crying for its father every time she is near Aiden.  She is convinced it is his child who needs him even though Aiden denies any possibility of being a father.   But her psychic vibes keep leading her to a motherless and fatherless baby.

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 when I say, this is one road trip you do not want to miss!
