Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Used to be my greatest achievement was holding a job more than three days. Now suddenly I can shoot fireballs, chill your drink or blow-dry your hair at fifty paces with a blink of my eye!

It all started when this crazy scientist dropped something in my Grande Mocha Latte.

Of course I got wicked sick.

Next morning I'm waking up with this total hottie bending over me.

He tells me

1) his name's Rome Masters,

2) he's a government agent and

3) I can control the four elements with a thought.

He seems even less pleased by my (apparently irreversible) transformation than I am…. Because now he'll have to kill me.

- So bad i couldn't even finish!
I bought this book for a quick read for a long drive. Well, it's been 3 months since that car trip and the quick read has turned into one of the worse books i have ever read. I'm amazed that it's getting such good reviews!
I haven't finished the book, so i won't comment about the ending, but the characters that have been introduced have been flat, boring, and stereotypical. The story was corny, but it could have worked if the characters weren't so predictable.
The female, Belle, was your typical obnoxious sassy leading female! She uses cliche's like no ones business, and i t so annoying i kept hoping that she would set herself on fire! She actually said this line in the book, "Don't make me go PMS on your a**!" I'm sorry but who says things like that? What woman would say that? If i had not read another of showalters book before, i might have thought that it was a man trying to delve into the ... Read More

- Great book!
I thought this book was terrific. This was the first Showalter book I read and started me reading her others. Also I am looking forward to more books to this sieries because there is clearly potential here.

Let me start off by saying I'm not a fan of first person. So I was initially put off when I first picked up this book. But I gave it a second try and I'm glad.
The story of a barrista who suddenly has contol of the four elements really sucked me in. I really felt for her. She was never very good at anything and now she had to conquer not just one super power, but four.
Had me laughing out loud sometimes.

- Great First
My paranormal romance book club chose this book as its first read. None of the members, including myself, had ever read anything by or had ever heard of Gena Showalter before. We chose this book based solely on a starred review read elsewhere. I have not met to discuss the book with the other members yet so I don't know how they felt about the book. But For me, the book proved to be a perfect first pick.
It kind of reads like an X-Men novel for adult females. It moved along quickly but was easy to keep up with. It also has some gritty, but I felt appropriate, language. And of course, it being a romance novel it has sex scenes. However, they are very [very ;P] well written. And I certainly loved the writting style of the novel.
All-n-all: I will definitely be reading more from Ms. Showalter and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an easy summer read.
