Suddenly Sorceress

After Ivie McKie has a horrible day out on a farm during a field trip with her kindergarten class she comes home to find herself alone all evening and begins to worry about her fiance Matt. Around midnight Matt returns home only to ask Ivie for her engagement ring back, he is going to marry someone else and gives her the weekend to pack up and move out of his house. Ivie becomes enraged and the next thing she knows there a poof and lying, cheating Matt is now a skunk.

Matt was supposed to be flying out to Vegas to marry his new fiance and when he doesn’t show up she calls the police claiming Ivie must have killed him. Frantic, Ivie has no idea who to trust or what to do. She finds a magician on Craigslist, Jackson Blake that she thinks might be able to help her.

Being someone that never sticks to one specific genre to read I love when an author ventures out and combines different elements to a story to make it something unique. Erica Lucke Dean has done a great job with Suddenly Sorceress making it a great mix of chick lit and paranormal that takes the reader on a fun ride with Ivie and her friends as they go through adventure after adventure trying to figure out how to return Matt back into a human that had me laughing the entire time.

Ivie was a wonderfully likable character that you couldn’t help but root her on as she discovers not only who she really is but her own happiness after living a life of just settling with the jerk of a fiance. Chloe, Ivie’s best friend, is absolutely hysterical and Jackson Blake the steamy sexy magician was very drool and swoon worthy the entire time.

Overall, an outrageous, comical adventure into the paranormal. Definitely would recommend this fun book if you enjoy chick lit and/or paranormal.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book-a bit over the top-but it made me laugh when I really needed a laugh. I am trying to get all of her books now to read...so I can laugh again!! The plot is unique (at least to me) and the characters are fun and endearing. Stuff happens that you yourself would want to happen...the entire skunk thing!! Perfect. Well worth a read....go get it!! Try it !! Enjoy and laugh a little. Smiling is good for you.

This was a fast-paced, entertaining book. It was full of humor and hard to put down.

The only slightly disappointing part was not getting to see Ivie attempt to turn her cat, Karma, back into her father at the end of the epilogue.

The very best book I've read in a while. This book was so funny & I enjoyed every page. The book is a mix of romance, paranormal escapades, and laugh out loud humor. I can't wait to read more by Erica Lucke Dean.

a light hearted romp with a kindergarten teacher who discovers she has powers to change her louse of an ex-fiance into a skunk, then a snake, then a dog, and so on. A fun story overall, and kept me chuckling throughout. A bit more to set up Jack in her life, and it would have been even better. Also, a bit more with her mom would have made more background too. These are minor though, and would still highly recommend this story.

I read a friendly reviewer’s comments on this book and, as we have a tendency to read the same novels and rate them almost the same most of the time, she made this seem so appealing I knew I just had to read it myself - and I’m so glad I did!

The scene with the goat at the farm will live in my memory for a long time as will so many other antics in this hilarious, laugh out loud, magical romance! Just imagine you’re a quiet, unassuming, kindergarten teacher but when you got so cross with your boyfriend breaking up with you that you mysteriously managed to magically morph him into a horrendously smelly skunk! You can’t let him go off into nature, you need to change him back - but don’t know how you changed him in the first place! The resulting escapades will have you giggling your way through the story as Ivie tries to work out how she’s changed her ex with the help of friends old and new whilst the police investigate his possible murder - with Ivie as the number one suspect!

This is one of the funniest, comical, paranormal romances I have ever read. This story has so many crazy situations and her ex is sure paid back by her actions! This is the first novel by this author that I’ve read and I’ll certainly be looking out for others by her in future. With great characters, plenty of humour and magic, I have no hesitation in highly recommending this to anyone who enjoys light hearted, hilarious, paranormal chick lits - what a winning combination!

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley, too, for letting me read an ARC of this book in exchange for this, an honest review.

A fun laugh out loud paranormal tale.
This is a fast paced story with a very funny plot line. The main character, Ivie, turns her fiancé into a skunk by mistake, since she doesn't know he is leaving her and that she is a witch. When he comes late at night, on one of the most embarrassing day of her life, and asks for his grandmother's engagement ring because he is marrying someone else and she needs to leave the house by Monday, rage evokes a power hidden inside herself. How can she explain to the police that Matt is a skunk and that he is not missing? The solution must be to find another magic practitioner to help her turn Matt back.
A romantic comedy with a hint of spice.

Suddenly Sorceress is the first book I've read by Erica Lucke Dean and I have to say I am glad I did. Once I started the book, I couldn't stop reading it, it was hilarious. Ivie begins by having one of those days, she gets home from an interesting kindergarten field trip to find her fiance asking for the engagement ring back because he is going to Las Vegas with his new fiance to get married. She gets so angry she turns him into a skunk. Well... shes a witch. Her friends and new ones along the way help her to turn him back and find herself along the way. I was sad to see the book end. I highly recommend it!

This book knocked my socks off! It had just the perfect blend of romance, humor, smut, magic, and suspense for me! I'm completely in love with this world and all the characters in it.

Ivie started her day as an engaged kindergarten teacher with bad luck on school field trips. While distracted by a hot vet on a farm field trip, she ends up in the mud and under assault from a goat. After fleeing and diving into a bottle of wine, she slowly begins to realize that her boring soon-to-be-husband is still not home. When he does get home, it's to break up with her and kick her out because he wants to marry his mistress instead! During a swear filled rant, Ivie ends up turning him into a skunk and thus begins her life as a witch.

Some assistance might have been nice, but it looks like there isn't any coming her way. The internet is also pretty much a bust, but she pins all her hope to a vague magic ad. Said magic ad comes from a guy with a sexy voice and an even sexier person. Jackson is a magician who is immediately smitten with Ivie. Witch or not, they are a wonderful pair of floundering magical people. Oh, and they seriously light the page on fire with their chemistry! These two (and Ivie's BFF) end up on a zany mission to transform Ivie's ex back into the horrible human he was. The hijinks were hilarious and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. We get an adorable HEA and the wish for even more from this world. What a wonderful read!

Suddenly Sorceress by Erica Lucke Dean is my first book by this author, but it will not be my last. I found this book to be funny and delightful. I actually found myself laughing out loud. Ivie McKie is a kindergarten teacher, her day starts out on a field trip to the farm where she has an embarrassing accident. When Ivie gets home, her fiance asked for the engagement ring back so he can give it to his new fiance. Ivie gets so made she turns him into the skunk he is. Now Ivie must learn how to turn him back, while the police are suspicious she killed him. I can't repeat enough how funny this book is. Once I started I couldn't stop reading this book. The book is well written characters are well developed, but most of all this book made me laugh.

Ivie McKie's day starts off pretty bad. She is a kindergarden teacher that just found out she can't get out of a field trip that is headed to a farm. She had a previous bad experience but surely lightning can't strike twice? She is oogling a hot vet when that lightning does hit in the form of a horny goat.
When she gets home not only are her expensive Ralph Lauren boots ruined, her fiance Matt shows up at home and wants his engagement ring back. He is getting married to someone else..never mind that he is banging half the town. Ivie gets pissed off and Matt ends up stinking. Literally. Somehow she turns him into a skunk.
Ivie is shocked that it happened. She didn't know she could do that. She goes to find someone to help her with her ex-fiance, since his new one has reported him missing and Ivie is the prime suspect.
She enlists the help of a local hot magician named Jack, the thing is..his "magic" is all faked.
That's okay though, because Jack is super hot and one of the side effects of Ivie doing magic is now she is super horny.
Other side effects include her hair turning bright red and her boobs growing. Ivie is on a roll. Plus now her ex is a dog. He really should stop pissing her off.
The cops start closing in so Ivie's best friend Chloe puts aside her shopping to join in with the quest to turn douche bag Matt back into himself.
This book is actually pretty fun, it's total light reading with some hawt porny scenes that I totally read twice skimmed. The ending was over the top but it's still fun if you want a little paranormal porny time.

Booksource: Netgalley in exchange for review

A hilariously fun read! I loved it so much and was happy to see Matt get what was coming to him. This is the type of book that helps you forget about your own troubles for a little while with a character driven story and plenty of laugh out loud moments to enhance your reading pleasure. Most of us can relate to Ivie because she is so down to earth and has rotten luck with men, and I wanted her to get her HEA. I kept rooting for the sexy magician Jack, and hoping he wouldn't turn out to be another snake like Matt (literally). I hope this author has more magically sexy tales in store for us in the future.

Suddenly Sorceress by Erika locke dean is a romance read. Pms can be a real witch. ivie Mckie isn't your run-of-the-mill kindergarten teacher. after an encounter with a harry goat, ivie has a confrontation with her lying-cheating fiance. Very good read. Devoured in less than 24 hours. I liked the story and the characters. Ivie was my favourite character. I liked the ending too. There was nothing I disliked about this book. Highly recommended. 5* from me. Thanks to netgalley for the arc.
