review 1: Th third book in this series focussed on a different witch this time - Anastasia, or Stasi for short, and her witch sister Blair. They live in a small mountain village, where everyone knows and accepts that they are witches, but they all get along for the most part, until Stasi interferes just a little bit in a human's love life. Carrie is mighty peeved that her husband has left her for another woman and blames Stasi and to enact her revenge hires a wizard lawyer, Trevor Barnes, to take Stasi to the Wizard's Court and have her stripped of her magical powers. Neither Trevor nor Stasi realised the problems they would be get themselves involved in through this case. And the little red hearts floating above both of their heads don't help the situation much either...The situati... moreon in the town goes from bad to worse to dire in a few days with the entire town turning on the witches, but nothing Stasi or Blair can do or say will make any difference whatsoever and The Librarian at the witch's library isn't much help either. They have to use something from Stasi's past in order to save their present but will she work it all out in time?All Stasi wanted was to celebrate Samhain with her closest friends and enjoy the season, but unfortunately that doesn't look like it's going to happen...I love this series - it's funny, quirky and romantic at the same time. I hope the next book is about Blair and her "dog" as I so want to find out how that situation plays out.
review 2: Staci Romanov is one of the witches banished into the mortal world by the Witches Academy 700 years ago. She and another witch, Blair, share a home and each have shops in a small mountain town. Staci is a sweet, respected member of the community and almost never loses her temper. She is stunned when she is served court papers stating she is being sued for alienation for affection from a dissatisfied customer. Trevor Barnes is the wizard attorney who takes the case against Staci. The moment he meets her though, he is torn between his attraction to her or remaining neutral for his building case. The dancing hearts above her head doesn't help make his feelings or decisions any easier. Then mysterious magic surrounds the lake that brings sanctuary to the witches. Curious incidents begin happening around their small mountain town and it's residents. Staci and Blair call in their friends to help figure out what is causing the disturbing events. They need Trevor's powerful help, but every witch knows you can't trust a wizard, and soon Stasi is fighting for her life and her heart.Filled with charming characters, a clever plot, and loads of sizzling magic, Wicked by Any Other Name is pure fun! Jazz Tremaine, the heroine in Wisdom's last two books, along with her vampy fangboy Nick, and her famous Fluff & Puff slippers make a splash in Wicked by Any Other Name. The splash deftly ties this third novel into the first two, drawing the reader deeply into their witchy ways. I was absolutely entertained with this fun and magical romp! Linda Wisdom is quickly making herself a household name in the paranormal genre. I will definitely be looking for the next one! less

I'm glad Staci isn't really such a goody goody. The hearts were a bit much though.
