Reader Views - 5 Stars - “Hocus Pocus” is a fun and laugh-out-loud book to read. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys a little fantasy with a dose of humor in a romantic story. It will leave a smile on your face. - by Cherie.

Reader Views - 5 Stars - “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

The 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

Love Romance - 5 Hearts - "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." --by Valerie.

Romance Divas - 5 Kisses - "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.

Fallen 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.

Manic 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.

Ecataromance 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.

Romance Junkies - 4 Blue 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.
