Third Times a Charm....by Marquita ValentineThis novel was given to me by the author for an honest review.Alexander "Sasha" Romanov is the man we love to hate!  We met him in Twice Tempted, where he was instrumental in almost ruining Christian Romanov and Zoe Ambrose's happily ever after.  Sasha thinks of himself as the "Executive Assistant to the destroyer of lives" and that particular destroyer is Vladimir Romanov, his uncle and Christians father.Rose Holland is the owner of an apothecary shop, Carolina Dreams in Holland Springs , North Carolina.  She sells "magical" skin and hair products, and is known for her love potions. She and her two sisters, Skye and Summer have the reputation of having mystical powers.When Rose stumbles on a body in her neighbor's tobacco field, lying in a heap, with vultures circling, she rushes to the rescue; only to find out it is Sasha, who has already broken her heart once. She drives him to her home patches him up, and he's gone out of her life again, for good.  Maybe!What follows is a story of deceit, blackmail and pain, but the undercurrent of love cannot be denied.  We learn the reason for Sasha`s  unexplained persistence in carrying out Vladimir's evil wishes.  Rose's love for her sisters is put to the test, as she faces life on her own again.  She desperately wants to trust Sasha, but how can she?There are so many twists and turns in this story, I couldn't put it down!  The epilogue put a great big smile on my face!I recommend this wonderful story to people who believe a bad boy can become a caring, loving man, with the help of a woman who loves him, and maybe a little pinch of magic.
