Letting him in could mean losing him forever.
Elizabeth “Biz” Marks has the magic touch when it comes to matters of the heart—except her own. In a slightly tipsy fit of loneliness, she once tried to harness a little love mojo to work in her favor. Instead the spell mutated into a nightmarish curse that kills off her boyfriends on her favorite holiday: Valentine’s Day.
With three permanently ex-boyfriends on her conscience and another hearts-and-flowers holiday approaching, the last thing she needs is a too-gorgeous-to-be-true reporter snooping around.
Biz just has extraordinarily bad luck, or she’s a bona-fide Black Widow who bumps off her boyfriends for a chunk of the inheritance money. Either way, Mark Ellison is sure there’s a story here. Especially when his attempts to charm her send her into a panic.
The harder Biz tries to keep Mark and his beguiling dimples as far away as possible, the harder he digs to get at the truth. Now she’s beginning to wonder if his is the love that will finally break the curse...or if she’ll be burying her heart along with him.
Product WarningsThis book contains curses, meddling ghosts, nosy neighbors and enough peppermint Schnapps to drown the inhibitions of even the most cautious witch.
Ghosts of Boyfriends Past is a cute story about a witch who cursed herself, causing her boyfriends to die on Valentines day. The premise sounded a bit weird, but also intriguing. It’s currently $2.99 at Amazon.
Biz Marks is a matchmaking witch who accidentally cursed herself so all her boyfriends die on Valentines Day. Mark Ellison is a reporter who’s determined to find the dirt to prove Biz is a black widow who kills off her men.
I liked both main characters. I also like that Mark was the more romantic of the two. This was a light read, with plenty of humor and a couple sigh worthy moments. I am glad I gave it a chance.
