Following a sex hex gone wrong, magical matchmakers Dorcas and Ambrose Lowell have been exiled to the tiny town of Big Knob, Ind., where they're soon drawn to Sean Madigan, whose green eyes and carpenter's body have for years bewitched the town's females. Tired of meaningless conquest, Sean just wants to grab a cup of coffee without getting mobbed, so in exchange for some pro bono wood work, Dorcas and Ambrose agree to turn off Sean's charm. Too bad, then, that he's soon in desperate need of his persuasive powers: when department store location scout Maggie Grady arrives in town, sights set on a plot of land that Sean has long been eyeing, Sean is sure he could seduce the sexy scout into abandoning her plans. Forced to win Maggie the old-fashioned way-with down-home cooking and throw-down romancing-Sean has his work cut out for him. Meanwhile, Dorcas and Ambrose have a secret identity to protect and an ornery, poker-addicted dragon to rehabilitate. If readers can fall under the spell of her outlandish premise and forgive some less-than-urgent pacing, they'll find the same trademark blend of comedy and heart that won Thompson's Nerd series (My Nerdy Valentine, etc.) a loyal following. (Oct.)
Copyright 2007 Reed Business InformationExiled for unethical magical matchmaking mischief by Cyril the Grand High Wizard, Ambrose and Dorcus Lowell detest being sent to backwater Big Knob, Indiana, but the matchmaking duo has no say in the matter. They cannot return until they straighten out George the dragon who suffers from ADD. They worry about how to pass time in a town of under 10000 mortals, but consider doing their magic with humans, a no no back home, but what the heck that is a double negative.----------------- The duo meets mortal Sean Madigan, who laments that he is bone weary of females wanting him. Although they know they should stay with the normal clientele, witches and warlocks, the out of town therapists agree to help Sean with his problem by changing him from the hunk of hunks to an average American. Now that he is no longer the fantasy star of female dreams, Sean ironically meets his soul-mate Maggie. He finds he must court her by using charm and tenderness instead of Greek God looks, but this is something he never had to do before and fails at persuading Maggie he is the one for her.------------------ OVER HEXED is a lighthearted romantic fantasy starring two out of control but caring matchmakers and an interesting pair of humans. Sean makes the tale as his wish is granted at a time he meets his true love, but must work at winning her something he never had to do before as women worked to get him. Readers will enjoy this amusing irreverent frolic that uses the paranormal to spoof the politically correct and anti politically correct babble.-------------- Harriet Klausner

Overview
Dorcas and Ambrose are matchmaking sex therapists for witches and warlocks. Now they're doing it for mere mortals-although the handsome Sean Madigan is kind of an Adonis. Until Dorcas and Ambrose strip him of his sex appeal and introduce him to his destiny, Maggie Grady. This time winning a girl's heart won't be so easy for Sean. It means rediscovering the charms buried beneath the surface. But what a surface!
