4 stars and recommendation for sexy romance genreI like the idea of karma.  It’s a good philosophy for making sure we humans do the right thing. Seeing it in action is all the better when the “rightness” of an act is delivered and when bad things happen to bad people.  The fear of karma has likely kept a lot of people on the right track and straight and narrow.  Karma by Nikki Sex is the story of Marcy Paget and how she unwittingly creates a bubble of good karma.The story opens as she struggles with whether or not to do the right thing and it's simply lovely to watch how her life is changed by a simple act.  Set is Las Vegas,  Marcy works in a casino supporting herself and her young daughter,  living hand to mouth while her ex-husband Trent lives a very comfortable life. Marcy has been damaged by the emotional abuse that he piled on her in their years together, and she is understandably a skeptic when it comes to love and relationships.But her fate is changed in a big way when into her life walks Andre Chevalier, as a witness to Marcy’s honest gesture. Andre has a keen sense of people and quickly approaches Marcy to work for him. What Andre also does is to act as a matchmaker for Marcy, which suits his profession as a relationship therapist. Andre has decided that Marcy belongs with his security specialist, Mike Thompson, and doesn't hide his intentions with either of them.Karma is a low key sexy romance read with a sorta second chance love story. I say this because one really has to experience love once to try for seconds, and Marcy has certainly lived without knowing is stubbornly reticent even when it’s staring her in the face. She knows she has a connection, but Trent burned her bad. But Marcy is smart and comes to realize that with one gracious act that the good karma that she created should be fully embraced.The story is delivered to us through the POV of 5 characters making this a fun read. The transition between these stories is well executed and makes the story flow. We get just enough backstory on our main and secondary characters to understand what motivates them. Although the mysterious Andre Chevalier remains an enigma.  I would love to see him work his more of his magic and would love to see a  spin off  series centered around him.
