- “Hocus
Pocus” by Teresa Roblin is a delightful read. The plot is remarkable
and kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next. Ms.
Roblin successfully uses romance and humor to capture the reader’s
interest. The scene with the muffin is too funny. I laughed until
I cried. The characters are tremendously funny, especially Aunt
Lilly, my favorite. She is delightfully eccentric, stirring things
up everywhere she goes. Ms. Roblin is an extremely talented author.
I will be watching closely for more books by Teresa Roblin. I highly
recommend “Hocus Pocus” to fans of romance. - by Anne

Eternal Night Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Web Site -
The story has numerous laugh out loud moments and keeps you reading
right along to find out what will come out of Amanda's mouth next
and if Mark is as bright as everyone thinks he is. It's a delightfully
light, funny, and touching story. - by Leola

- "This reviewer absolutely loved this story.
Amanda is a multi-dimensional character and her transformation from
office mouse to an outspoken femme fatal is very well written. The
dialogue will have the reader cracking up, as poor Amanda just has
to spurt the truth out no matter what. The reader will be hooked
by the very first paragraph and will be taken on a roller coaster
ride of a read and will not want to be interrupted until the last
word. Put up a big ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign before starting this book."

- "Teresa Roblin has a definite talent for writing
comedy. Not only do Teresa’s characters spark off one another, the
secondary characters add spice to the story. From a wacky Aunt,
to a mischief making sister, the twists and turns in Amanda’s life
gave me one surprise after another. With witty dialogue and snappy
scenes, I couldn’t put the book down. I can’t wait for Teresa Roblin’s
second release."--by Stacey Brutger.

Angel Reviews- 5
Angels - "Teresa Roblin has written a brilliant
comedic romance that had me laughing intensely throughout. The situation
both Mark and Amanda find themselves in thanks to the spell are
at once funny and well integrated into the story. I highly recommend
giving this humorous romance a read; Hocus Pocus is surely one you
will want to read again and again."--by Elizabeth.

Reader Reviews - 4.5
Stars - Teresa
Roblin's Hocus Pocus is a bright, funny, sexy read. I loved the
banter back and forth between the main characters. Aunt Lilly is
a hoot, and Amanda is truly a wonderful character. I laughed, I
sighed, I yelled (men never get it) and I almost cried when things
went sideways. All in all a spectacular read. – By Valerie.

Reviews- 4.5 Stars
- "Hilarious, riotous and sinfully delicious, Hocus Pocus takes
the reader on a wild ride through the perils of unrequited love
and the awakening of one woman's hidden passion. I don't think I've
laughed as hard throughout a book as I did with this one. I thoroughly
loved Amanda, especially after she came out of her shell and let
everyone know exactly what she thought. Teresa Roblin has written
a wickedly funny story with characters you will fall in love with.
They had just the right amount of humor, wit and chaotic thoughts
to make me think I'd fallen into Wonderland but with the steamy
passion I know I didn't. Go and get this fantastic book by Ms. Roblin
for yourself and be introduced to a great book that you will want
to add to your collection today."--by Sheryl.
The
Romance Studio - 4.5
Hearts - "This is a really well done ugly duckling
story. A cruel boyfriend took Amanda’s confidence away, and she
hides from relationships. Her crazy family worries about her and
decides to help her, whether she wants help or not. Aunt Lilly and
Sarah are wonderful characters. Amanda’s transformation really turns
her life around and it was fun to see her come out of her shell.
Mark is as stubborn as they come, but he can’t resist. This is a
really great story. I hope the author decides to tell us what happens
with Tony and Sarah next."--by Maura Frankman.

Ribbon Review
- "HOCUS POCUS is a romantic tale, both humorous and heartwarming!
Teresa Roblin has penned a wonderful story!"-- by Tracy Marsac.
Coffee
Time Romance - 4
Cups- "Ms. Teresa Roblin has written a delightful
book about office romance. I quickly became enmeshed in the love
lives of both the heroine and hero. I laughed out loud at her
snappy comebacks and could have slapped the hero for being so
blind to her feelings for him. Any book that engages your emotions
like this one is worth keeping in my estimation."--by Katherine
L. Hunt.
Joyfully
Reviewed - The reader will find herself
turning the pages to get to the ending to learn how it all turns
out. Aunt Lilly is a marvel, and Amanda and her sister Sarah are
realistic women. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that Amanda’s boss Mark
is a hunk."--by Annie.
