Paleo-anthropologist Trevor Masterson is looking for something monumental at his latest dig in Costa Rico, something that will push the tenure committee in his favor. Everything is turned upside down when Daisy le Fey, a tooth fairy apprentice, pops into his dig site looking for a tooth.
This was such a cute story and the antics of Daisy and her magic world as it clashes with Trevor are quite funny. I thought the middle of the story dragged just a bit, but there were many twists and turns to keep the story moving forward. How Daisy finally earns her wings blends her scientific knowledge and magic to bring about her life’s greatest desire. Then why did she feel so empty? Could it be that Trevor is her one true love? This is a delightful story that romance fans will certainly enjoy.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
This is book 2 in the Magic & Mayhem series and can absolutely be read as a stand alone. This one is sooo much better than the first one in my opinion! Whereas I couldn’t get into the first one, this one kept me reading and I really enjoyed it! Daisy is a fey that just wants the one thing that most of her kind don’t struggle with-magic. And the things she goes through trying to get it just cracked me up!! And her relationship with Trevor was great! I loved how no matter how different they were, they still managed to figure out they loved each other and just wanted to be together. And the side characters (including her mother) just made me laugh through most of it! I would definitely re-read this one!
Must Love Magic is the second book in the Magic and Mayhem series and after feeling a bit unsure after reading the first book I have to say I approached this book with a little reluctance and after finishing it I’m still on the fence about this series. Normally I don’t follow any particular genre with regards to my reading choices. I tend to go with how an author writes her characters – they’ve got to grab my attention and make me want to learn more about them. If that happens I’ve been known to go and buy an author’s entire back catalogue – but for some reason I’m struggling to even like the characters in this series. There is one book left to go & since I don’t like leaving things unfinished I will try it.
The one whom takes us into the next one in this is Daisy. Sometimes she reminded me a bit of that one aunt on the show I watched when little. Loveable but goofy at times. There is also Trevor who make you flutter. The two of them mixed gives us alot of laughs with the promise of more.
This is romantic, suspenseful and hilarious. Trevor is an anthropologist who is a professor at a college. He took a group of kids to a dig in Costa Rica hoping to find something spectacular. Daisy is an inept fairy, currently trying to become a tooth fairy, which is almost impossible because she can’t do magic, at least not without a scientifically engineered wand. Daisy gets sent to retrieve the tooth of Angus, age 8, in Trevor’s tent. They argue, because he obviously isn’t 8, and his name isn’t Angus. To make her go away, because he thinks she’s crazy, he gives her a rock and tells her that the tooth is inside of it. So she goes back to Nether-Netherland and turns it in. Then gets arrested for trying to pass a rock off as a tooth. She’s sent back to get the real tooth, and ends up using a Himalayan Lust Charm on Trevor, which makes then rip off their clothes and have wild sex in his office. Afterwards she steals every tooth in his lab, figuring that one of them is the right one, but that gets her into more trouble. Trevor and Daisy will make you laugh out loud, Daisy is naive and stubborn, Trevor is fascinated and not quite believing. I can’t wait to read the next book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
Daisy is the offspring of a guardian angel and a fairy godmother but magic seems to have passed her by. Instead she is a gifted scientist in a society where such a career is considered on par with a janitor. Her dearest wish therefore is to gain wings and be respected. To that end she designs a mechanical wand, which has the unfortunate tendency to turn things into pumpkins, and becomes an apprentice tooth fairy. Things go awry on her first assignment. Loved this.
Daisy is inept at some things, great at others. But she’s in jeopardy when she tangles with Trevor, a mere mortal.
Think Tinker Belle.
Frolicking fun.
Daisy is attempting to get her wings by doing jobs as an apprentice tooth fairy when she stumbles across Trevor the human anthropologist in South America. Both Daisy and Trevor are dealing with sincere desires to achieve their professional goals and in so doing much seems to go wrong while they fall in love. Charmed is another book in the Nether-Netherworld series by Erica Ridley and though fun and funny in places seemed rather silly and unbelievable in others. Nether-netherworld and its inhabitants were definitely imaginary but interesting.
This is a wonderful story with some steam, laughs and drama. what a fun delightful plot. Loved the characters.
I just completed a binge-fest of Erica Ridley’s Magic & Mayhem books, reading Must Love Magic (Book 2) and Smitten by Magic (Book 3) in one (long) sitting. I couldn’t help it. The books were just too addictive and I felt compelled to just read “one more page” until many hours later I finally ran out of pages. Different couples in each book bit the magical connection is as strong as the truly excellent romantic tie in each. They’re skid, quite frankly, tremendously fun. Well-written and filled with well-crafted casts too. Can’t really ask for more. If not for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. These two books definitely deserve it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that each book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend both of them.
Daisy le Fey wants desperately to earn her wings. In her attempt to complete her tooth fairy assignment, she accidentally meets human paleo-anthropologist Trevor Masterson. As desperately as Daisy wants her wings, Trevor wants tenure as a professor at his university. From their meeting on, the story is a delicious comedy of errors. There are Lust Potions gone astray, Forgetme Orbs that don’t work, and spells with a one-track mind (think pumpkins). Along the way, Daisy and Trevor discover magic that cannot be reversed or erased.
This story is unpredictable and laugh-out-loud funny. The characters are great. My favorites in the magical world were Maeve, the lavender flying horse who was Daisy’s best friend, and her transportation frog Bubbles. Watch out for Daisy’s mom, who is a Fairy Godmother. She slings a wicked wand. On Earth, Trevor’s student assistants were a treat. A villain is a villain, in the magical world and on Earth. I really enjoyed this one. If you’re looking for a fun story with a fairy tale happy ending, Must Love Magic is for you.
I love watching fairy tales get twisted inside out. This book took the entire fairy tale world and tipped it soundly on its ear. Throw in a little science, some jealous colleagues, and a whole lot of bureaucracy and the resulting story had me howling with laughter for hours. There’s so much going on in this book and it all ties back together to the point that I can’t explain any one event without giving away the rest of the book. Trevor and Daisy are absolutely adorable together. They’re both career-driven to the point of creating chaos in each other’s lives through their single-mindedness, and yet they’re both able to steal the other’s focus. It was so much fun to witness the crazy shenanigans that happen around them – ones they accidentally create and ones they inadvertently get sucked into. This book was so much fun, I really didn’t want it to end.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
This story shows you that even in fairy tales they can have a bad time filling or finding their destiny
What I liked:
The writing style
Part of a series: Magic and Mayhem
Standalone
HEA
I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC.
Paranormal romance. Good fantasy read, though Daisy was too clueless for me (through the first half of the book; much like her dad, A.J. ). She did mature towards the end. I enjoyed Trevor, Arabella and Maeve. Good premise.
Voluntarily read ARC for honest review.
ONE EXCITING ADVENTURE!!!
One rip roaring fun treat! Oh man, Erica never ceases to amaze me with her wit and imagination. If you’re looking for a little humor, a lot of mischief with plenty of fun, drama and all the laugh out loud wonder to be had. Congratulations my friends, you just found it. You get it all this this little gem. Personalities, attitudes and dynamics are 100% on point with such realism it blows this baby wide open. A fascinating storyline and awesome plot kicks this jewel up a few levels. The scenes are so graphically detailed it paints an incredible backdrop that feels so realistic it’s like you’re right there with them. Amazing job Erica, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.

A well written fun read that had me laughing at times, I loved the verbal sparring. A different genre from my normal read but one I found I thoroughly enjoyed. Likeable characters who were believable & had plenty of depth. The pace was very good & the pages flew by. This is a re release of Charmed
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
So this is the second installment in the Magic &Mayhem series, and it can be read as a standalone as it is set with new characters.
For Mrs Erica Ridley usual readers, it is outside her usual work as it is a fantasy romance sets in contemporary time.
This is a laughing out loud kind of story with a klutz of a tooth fairy, with not a magical bone in her body, in training trying to steal a teeth from a all grown up specimen of a man.
It is Tinkerbell meeting Indiana Jones.
Their journey is one trip from hell to heaven with everything in between bouncing them back from inferno to purgatory.
Daisy is so sweet and cute, sure the snarky me was upset at her naivety and stubbornness to insist so much to become a fairy when it is obvious is not really in her but then the young me try to recall how at time I would have love to belong in. She feels like an oddity and wants so much to prove she can be an asset, so much she can’t see what is right in front of her nor doubt anybody’s actions.
Trevor is human so he lost a long time ago his belief on tooth fairy or any other supernatural being, and as an anthropologist, he believes in facts not tales. So their first many encounters all turned like a dialogue of the deaf.
Until too much sparkling powder dust brings him to where he should never have set foot.
I confess Daisy’s bullheadedness to not accept who she really is gave me headaches at time, I was upset at her blindness to continue to pursue an impossible dream when everything was out of her capacity and when she was throwing away her talent and what was the right path.
After it is a very enjoyable read full of twists and turns, steam and hilarious situations.
4.5 stars
I was provided an advance copy by the author and I have the full series already preordered.
Here is my true and unbiased opinion.
“Must Love Magic” by Erica Ridley
Loved this story… A real nice change of pace, a magical romance for grown-ups. I received an ARC from the author and this is my personal opinion.. this story is worth the read with lots of smiles along the way.
Magic and mayhem. Daisy lands in the wrong bed and starts a trail of mayhem. Trevor is awake but still thinks he is dreaming. This is a rollicking fun story of all the things that can go wrong when you mix magic, science and humans. There are several hilarious moments as Daisy pops in and out of Trevor’s life. Of course there is the evil “one” manipulating everything behind the scenes that only makes more things go awry. You will love this eclectic mix of characters as they wade through finding true love.
