Sammy’s dilemma with these gorgeous men is the fact that the one guy he’s known for years is both human and straight, so completely unavailable, while the new guy, is mysterious, charming, an art major like Sammy, and for reasons Sammy cannot fathom, Lucian wants him. The second guy Sammy has prophetically painted is exquisite and could have only come from heaven…or fallen from there, only time will tell.

The first, his crush since their first year in college, Ryder, who has returned from summer vacation so changed he is hardly recognizable, and if Sammy found him attractive before, he is definitely the stuff of Sammy’s dreams now. In this delightfully wicked tale, young witch Sammy, who is an art major and prophetic witch painter by nature, finds himself painting two gorgeous Men. I was however somewhat correct in my guesses regarding Lucien!It was great to see Sammy come into his own and get his happy ending with Ryder! So happy for them both and one thing's for sure! Ryder gives a whole new meaning to the words sexual healing in this book! I loved seeing some of the others from the first book.Book two in The Aloysius Tales picks up a year after book one. more ut you had to love him! Ryder was a surprise too! In the first book he appeared obnoxiously obsessed with women's cup sizes but turns out he was covering up a crush of his own on Sammy! It was a surprise to learn what Ryder (formerly known as Alvish) was, I'd had a couple of guesses but was wrong.

He was really self-critical and without much confidence in his own abilities b. Review 2: I really loved this sequel to Spell Cat! Sammy was such a sweet character and such a surprise hero in many ways. Growling at characters, gasping, laughing, fanning myself with certain scenes and up until the end I still had no idea how it was going to end (and usually I'm pretty good with that). I was on tenterhooks through the whole thing. well, my bed, because that's where I was reading it. Tara so perfectly wove a delightful story that had me on the edge of my. Review 1: I was surprised to find out about the wonder that is Sammy and even more surprised by the wonder that is Alvish, but this made for a wonderful read.
