Book Review: Kissed by Magic by Erica Ridley

Magic & Mayhem Book 1

Enjoy an Outlander-meets-Frozen romantic comedy from a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author:

Adventurer Lance Desmond needs to produce a fortune before his arch-rival collects the bounty on his head. He risks an ancient curse to retrieve treasure hidden within icebound Castle Cavanaugh, only to become trapped inside. Not with the gold he so desperately needs, but with medieval Princess Marigold who's been cooling her heels since...well, medieval times.

The lonely princess refuses to acknowledge the blossoming attraction between them. Not just because she deserves a better future than a penniless rogue. But because at midnight, he'll vanish like all her other would-be heroes. And the evergreen in the parlor will have one more figurine hanging from its boughs...

A previous edition was published as Let It Snow.

My Review:

I thought this was fun the first time I read it, and this updated second edition felt like it was even more so. I laughed, I teared up, I connected with Lance and Marigold. It’s light and fun, and despite most of the story being set in the midst of ice and snow and Yuletide, this book makes perfect beach or poolside reading. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
