Over Hexed (Hex, #1)

This book was funny and sweet all wrapped up into one package. Warning: There may be spoilers ahead!
I love the idea that a man would be so good-looking and sexy that he would wish he wasn't like that anymore. I also love that as soon as he gets that wish he wants it back to get what he wants from someone else.
Sean is the town hottie, and women all over town just want to find their way into his bed. Sean, after living with this all his life, is ready to get away from that and just wants to be left alone. That is where magic comes into play.
After being stripped of his ungodly sex appeal Sean meets the one woman who makes his body hot and she is also after his childhood home.
Maggie wants to use the land that his childhood home is sitting on to help save her job. The land is perfect for a one-stop shopping mega store and Maggie is desperate to have it or lose her job.
Now Sean has to win over Maggie using good old-fashioned charm that he has had to rely on before. Will she see through his odd ways and find the sweetheart beneath or is Sean simply nothing other than a pretty face?
I have to say that I love Sean. He seems like a really interesting guy and I like that he has to do so much to win Maggie over and despite everything learns that good looks aren't everything.
That is one thing I really love about Vicki Lewis Thompson's books. The characters are so real. In most romance novels it is a sexy guy and a sexy girl who would be sexy regardless of anything, but Thompson brings real life into the picture. Whether it's a nerd or a werewolf or a mortal being pulled around by a matching-making witch and wizard, they still retain that humanity.
The girls are beautiful, but they don't make normal girls feel unimportant or ugly. The guys are good-looking, but they seem to be realistic and the reader could feel like they could walk outside and see this guy on the street.
What I also like about Sean is that he had to find his own way. In the past it was the girls pursuing him, now he has to pursue her. It's new and unfamiliar territory for him and he treads on it lightly.
I also like Maggie because she too is real and can see past Sean's looks to find the guy underneath. I think this was a great book and can't wait to read the next in the series.
