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, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
