Description from the publisher:
Tessa Von Hellengaard is a real
witch. Magical spells aside, she’s snarky and selfish, and the other witches in
her silent spell coven are fed up with her. Their plan to reform Tessa involves
taking away her magic, saddling her with one hundred extra pounds and sending
her to a weight loss spa. For good measure they call in Liam Kennedy, a charming
and sexy fairy godfather, to teach her some manners.
Desperate to regain her magic and
determined to shed the weight, Tessa soon realizes that protecting her heart
from Liam will prove to be her greatest challenge.

WITCH WEIGH is the first book in the
Special Gifts series. WITCH CHRISTMAS is
a follow-up story with these same characters.
I loved the movie SHALLOW HAL. In it, a misogynistic jerk learns that women
are more than the sum of their “pretty parts.”
He learns to appreciate their intellect, humor, and personality beyond
the joke. (As in, she’s ugly as a dog, but she has a nice personality). He is ‘cursed’ with seeing a woman’s inner
beauty. So, the self-absorbed diva looks
like a hag and the sweet, but over-weight girl-next-door’s charm is all that he
can see.
Tessa’s treatment was sort of the opposite
of that. It was similar in that she had
to let go of her self-centered, narcissisms, but she I think she had to learn
more. She is the one cursed to be
overweight and worn looking until she learns to give instead of demanding. Once she learned it wasn’t all about her,
more came to her… more friendship, more respect, and more love. She also had to learn acceptance when her cat
was turned into a dog as part of her lesson from the other witches. Her whole life was upended. It took a long time for her to figure it all
out, because witch, with a B, really means stubborn!
I truly enjoyed the characters, the story,
and the setting. In addition, we’ve now
been introduced Fiona, another Fairy Godmother, and Bethany, Cody’s sister,
from MAGIC WAND RANCH.
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted copy,
