Gorgeous women are all trouble… Not my words, but those of Randall, the apothecary owner, who encounters the sexy and alluring Rowena the Fate when she comes to his shop for help with spell removal.  Her request is not unusual, considering that this story is fantasy. And that’s what Randall does for a living anyway. What’s unusual is what happens next.I was hooked from the very first paragraph. Charity Parkerson’s style is cinematic and engaging. Just the way she describes the impending storm on the first pages of the book creates an atmosphere of excitement, anticipation, and mystery. And as soon as Rowena comes in, there is strong sexual tension added to that. And then the story only gets better.As all Charity Parkerson’s stories, this one is fast-paced, exciting, filled with action, humor, and lots of surprises.  Her characters are witty, and their dialogue is engaging. Here’s one example of a disagreement between characters:  “love makes people blind” vs. “loneliness does strange things to people’s mind.” Which one would you side with? Whatever your views are, this story is definitely worth reading.
