In New York, Emma "Good Witch" Hutch is an enchanting matchmaker with a high level of success due to her gift. For a fee, she will track down a chosen male and telepathically send them seductive images of her customer, who as dumb as men are will fall to their knees in thank you when they see the Goddess of their dreams come to life.

Though extremely successful for other women, her love life is flat lined at zero. Most men flee from her out of fear of her renowned power. She has even found someone who she believes is her soul-mate and he does not hysterically run from her. William Dearborn is perfect for her, but though she believes he is the right one, she met him because a client hired her, as she wants him; one thing Emma knows is that the customer is always right at all costs, in this case her heart.

HEX AND THE SINGLE GIRL is an amusing romantic fantasy, that in spite of its paranormal elements, reads like a 1930's madcap comedic romance. The storyline is fast-paced, especially when the Good Witch realizes the object of her client's affection is her cherished lifemate. The support cast is very strong, but this fun screwball comedy belongs to a lead female protagonist who places a charming hex on readers.
