Review & Excerpt for Fairy Nuff by Jane Killick
Fairy Nuff
by Jane
Killick
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Stuck
in a fairy costume with magical powers, Julie “Nuff” Nuffield wishes for
anything she wants. But when magic turns mischievous, a dishy doctor literally
sweeps her off her feet — with a broom! — and a million pound coins trap her in
her house, she must find a way out of the chaos. All while contemplating
sleeping with her ex again. Sound unfair for a single woman battling through
life? Or is it Fairy Nuff?
A
fun story of one woman’s quest for love and search for the right wish to bring
her happiness. A light-hearted romantic comedy from the author of If Wishes
Were Husbands.
Excerpt:
Julie “Nuff” Nuffield is talking to her struggling actress
friend, Eileen, when the pantomime cast arrive, including the man who is playing
Prince Charming…
I was only half listening to Eileen because most of my
attention was focused on his bum. Something inside of me wanted to go up and
take hold of both his buttocks and give them a good squeeze.
‘I think he’s sexy,’ I said.
‘Then you’ve clearly never met him,’ said Eileen. ‘He’s an
arse.’
‘That’s the bit I like about him the best,’ I said,
imagining what his beautiful bottom must look like without being covered by
trousers.
Eileen gave me a stern look. ‘Forget it, Nuffy. He’s ten
years younger than you and he treats women like he treats the daily paper —
reads the bits he likes, then throws it away before having a new one
delivered.’
‘Still…’ I said. And, as I watched him, talking animatedly
with his fellow cast, dominating the conversation with exaggerated gestures and
his tall stature, an idea was forming. ‘I wish…’ I said.
‘No!’ said Eileen, holding her hands up like a thief caught
red-handed. ‘Don’t say it.’
But I knew what I was doing. This time, it wasn’t a slip of
the tongue. This time I really meant it. ‘I wish I could go out with Prince
Charming,’ I said.
Eileen stared at me in horror. ‘Nuff! What have you done?’
‘I suddenly thought, I’ve been given a gift. Why not have
some fun with it?’

REVIEW
Fairy Nuff by Jane Killick is a hilarious, cute, and fun
read. I love chick lit and this one really delivers everything I expect from
the genre.
I totally believed it when Julie the heroine put on the
fairy costume for a costume party and suddenly she was stuck in the costume and had magical powers beyond her
belief. Even though she acted predictably—at first befuddled and confused, then
she starts to believe her predicament, etc etc (I don’t want to spoil
everything)—I really enjoyed her cute British personality and the various
wishes she made along the way.
I also enjoyed the authors quick and witty
writing style and characterization. This book is going on my keeper shelf and I’m
not going to merely walk, but run to the store to get her next book. I suggest
everybody does the same. I award this book 4.5 stars.
