Years ago, Alex asked Elizabeth out. She turned him down. In the twelve years
that have passed since then, Elizabeth has haunted his dreams, leaving him
unable to develop a relationship with any other woman in his life. He only
wants his Beth Ann.
Now she is back in his waking life, and he is determined to break through her
formidable defenses. Because being with her now may mean the difference in
whether she and her family lives or dies in the very near future.
With the evil Maeve awakened and bent on vengeance, none of them are safe.
Jamie Leigh Hansen had a wonderful debut with her first novel, BETRAYED.
With CURSED, the sequel to that first story, she proves she is no
one-hit wonder as she delivers a paranormal romance that is even more compelling
than its predecessor.
I totally fell for Alex in this book. I liked him a lot in BETRAYED,
but getting to know him better in CURSED showed a man who is the
epitome of hero in anyone’s book. Sensitive, strong, thoughtful, and patient,
he is the kind of guy who can kick major butt, but prefers to solve things
without fighting whenever possible. That combination is exactly what Elizabeth
needs in her life.
Elizabeth is such a giving person, with a warmth and sense of responsibility
that has her sacrificing everything to help her family. It’s no wonder that
Alex loves her so much. Unfortunately, she is so fearful of repeating her
mother’s mistakes that she can’t trust love, and chooses to be alone rather than
risk her heart. Well, at least until Alex comes around again…
Jamie Leigh Hansen set the stage for the villain of CURSED in the
previous story, and she really developed the character of Maeve more in this
book. The woman is just evil through and through. Counterbalance to Maeve are
the mysterious pair that work to protect those cursed by Maeve in both stories,
Silas and Draven. I like this duo more and more, and am very intrigued to see
what secrets will be unearthed about them in future sequels.
The never ending battle of good vs. evil has never been more heartrending or
heartwarming than it is in Jamie Leigh Hansen’s book CURSED. This
sexy paranormal romance is definitely a must-read!
