Description
A witch curse is a hell of a thing to deal with when you’re immortal
Nice to meet you. My name is Catarina Ash. You’ve probably read about me. Wife of Bath ring a bell? The Loathly Lady stories used to be wildly popular. I used to have a thing for dating writers. I don’t take credit for the Viking story, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Cadence was so proud of the curse she put on me, she repeated it on another witch. She throws out curses like candy and probably has a few repeats.
I’m cursed to walk the earth as a wrinkled crone unless I can find love. What they don’t tell you in all the stories about the Loathly Lady is that since I’m immortal, when my love dies, I revert back to the crone unless I can find love again. I’ve retreated to my enchanted woods, hoping to just shrivel up and die, until one day, I feel a horrible aura sneaking around in my woods. My foresight tells me the human that aura belongs to is going to eventually lead me towards the path of breaking my curse for good. Edward Solomon is in my woods hoping to steal my land and build a university. Somehow, that university is important, but I don’t know why.
All I’m armed with is a cryptic feeling in my gut that giving this horrible man a part of my land and making a deal with him will lead me towards the right path. I’ve got my familiar here to guide me, but sometimes, she can’t keep the present and future straight and I’m not sure what she’s talking about. The answer to breaking my curse is there, but I will have to wait, learning ancient magic of my ancestors, tricking Cadence’s curse with men from the university, and trying to find the missing piece to breaking my curse.

Mia Harper –
I loved this book, it kept me riveted from start to end, the story was enchanting. This was and emotional rollercoaster of a read, and despite the curse Caterina’s strength and sarcastic, sci fi loving familiar kept this story entertaining, and I do love a happy ending. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

I was totally enthralled by the witchy lore of this erotic story, and several of the characters; especially her sassy raven familiar Lelura and Philip in his brief appearance. He was the first one who believed in Catarina, which gave her confidence. Devarious sounded like such a sweet, quiet, joyful baby. Ashton’s early misfortunes in life was so sad! Luckily Vincent had a loving, supportive family and you just know mischievous Nikata’s fearful beliefs in witches was definitely going to be a challenge for Catarina. 😛 And there was one caveat that I had to gloss over though… the mother was so nonchalant after centuries of not hearing from her daughter. Finally, the narration wasn’t the best. She kept stumbling over some words and I couldn’t lose myself in the story because of it. My rating would have been much, much higher otherwise.
