title: The Christmas Curse
author: Byrne, Wendy
description: Tessa Stevens’ recipe for the ultimate Christmas disaster:  Start with a family curse courtesy of one ticked off voodoo priestess, mix in a dead ex-husband, sprinkle in a sexy homicide detective named Jack Sloane who happens to be an ex-lover with an ax to grind, and it might just be the Christmas from hell. Can she ignore a family legacy that spells trouble for any man she loves even if in her heart she knows Jack will always be her one true love? Will love win out over a century old curse?

  "This is a cute romantic comedy with a mystery at the heart of it. I enjoyed how the main character let superstition rule her life and I think it makes a nice excuse as well. Of course I'm a sucker for the tough cynical detective who has a very soft side. The secondary characters are funny and help move the story along. The overall story is fun and fast paced and a great holiday read...."
