227. Crystal Cove by Lisa Kleypas

BOOK REVIEW: Crystal Cove by Lisa Kleypas

Shoutout to all you cumbu fans out there! I know you gals (and maybe some guys, shhh) simply adore romance novels, not only for the raunchy bits but also how the hero and heroine have the happily-ever-after ending of love and its beauty.

Will sparks fly when an unlikely hero (an RPG game designer without a soul) and an unconventional heroine (a witch who runs an inn on a quaint island and is cursed never to find love) run into each other? Well, as they say, opposites do attract.

Jason and Justine meet in a small island town in the Pacific Northwest, where magic is in the air and fate is a force too powerful to defy.

Justine Hoffman has made a comfortable life for herself on the island of Friday Harbor. She is the proprietor of a successful boutique hotel, and she has the safe, predictable life she has always wanted. Growing up with her flighty, nomadic mother, Marigold, has instilled in her a deep longing for stability. But in spite of everything Justine has achieved, there is still something missing. Love. And after years of waiting and dreaming, she is willing to do whatever it takes to change her destiny.

What Justine soon discovers is that someone cast a spell on her when she was born, with the result that she will never find her soul mate. Determined to change her fate, Justine finds a way to break the enchantment, never dreaming of the dangerous complications that will follow.

When Justine meets the mysterious Jason Black, she accidentally unleashes a storm of desire and danger that threatens everything she holds dear because Jason has secrets of his own, and he wants more than fate will ever allow.

A truly magical read of undying love and the emotions involved, it was a touching read from page to page. Do keep it away from younger prying hands though as certain scenes are not suitable for translation if you get what I mean.
