Reviews

[Victoria Pinder]

One of my favorite books in the Love and Laughter Line. I was so sad to hear that the author passed away today. I'll be rereading this as it was one book that stayed on my shelf. It was a fun, quick read.

I had all three of these books when they first came out and they traveled with me for quite a while as I moved around during undrgrad and grad school. I remembered them being fast, fun, and fluffy. I did NOT remember the fairy godmothers. If I read this book today, I'm not sure I'd enjoy it as much but there is a lot of nostalgia and I have to admit to skimming the parts with the godmothers.
Yep, in the late nineties, Linz wrote three books about triplets that also had three fairy godmothers who are supposed to assign them virtues. Except that these three godmothers are new and accidentally give Jason too much common sense and sex appeal. Now grown up, Jason has been declared one of Chicago's sexiest bachelors.
Heather is a radio host of a program called "Love on the Rocks." One of her more misogynistic cohosts tells her she knows nothing of love and couldn't even hook Jason enough to make him do things that would be out of the norm like inline skating or kissing her at the top of a ferris wheel. Suddenly, money is exchanging hands among Heather's coworkers and she is feeling dragged along.
Will the fairy godmothers be able to help pull these two soulmates together or will they tear themselves apart?

three rather clumsy fairy godmothers accidentally disperse a little too much fairy dust on triplet babies Jason, Anastasia, and i can't remember the other one's name. this novel is about Jason, who received overdoses of sex appeal and common sense, and the fairy godmothers attempt to unite him with his soul mate, the plain Heather Grayson. Heather hosts a popular radio show called Love on the Rocks. the next 2 novels in the trilogy deal with his brother and sister.

shoulder shrug. not a bad read and not a great read. the concept of the novel is interesting but not the best writing to carry it out.

What a silly book. If I had read a few pages before borrowing from the library I would have simply borrowed something else.
