Blurb:
Adelle Hendrix doesn’t believe in hocus pocus. She doesn’t believe in happily ever after, either. So when she sees her best friend, Ben Jackson, in a supposedly enchanted mirror, she decides she’s not the crazy one, the loony old gypsy woman who showed her the mirror is.
Except that crazy old woman won’t leave her alone, and the more frequently she and her jack-o-lantern with the ever-changing carved faces show up, the more Adelle begins to wonder… Are she and Ben meant to be more than friends?
This book is not meant to be read by readers who are looking for a serious, boring read with a tragic ending. Only fans of funny and everlasting romance should pick this one up.
Excerpt:
“The pumpkin—” Adelle started, but then the candle flickered to life and her gaze was drawn back to the old woman who sat behind it, steadily watching her. Adelle resisted the urge to look over her shoulder at the entrance to the tent.
“W-what do you want?” she asked, hating the way her voice cracked with her nervousness.
“Peace, love, and happiness,” the woman retorted. “But I’d settle for a romp with your date. He’s single, isn’t he?”
“Ben?” Adelle said in surprise. “No offense, but I don’t think you’re his type.”
“Why do people start offensive phrases with the words ‘no offense’?”
“Er…”
The old woman waved a veined, wrinkled hand over the candle flame. The rings she wore on every finger and her thumb glittered in the light, gold bangle bracelets clinking gently on her arm.
“Well, who do you think is his type?” the woman asked.
Adelle furrowed her brow, confused by the woman’s question.
“What’s so damn difficult about my question, girl? You know him, don’t you? He’s your best friend, so you say. If that’s the case, then you ought to know what he likes in a woman. You’ve known him for ten years. That’s almost a third of your lifetime. Answer me,” she snapped.
“I, uh, I…” Adelle stuttered over an answer. How did this obnoxious old woman know anything at all about her and Ben’s friendship? Nicole must have filled her in while she was getting her own fortune read.
Taking a deep breath, she said, “He likes good-looking girls. Blondes, it seems.”
The old woman cocked her head to the side and gave her a considering look. “Well, that puts me out of the running, I suppose. Although a box of ‘golden platinum’ could remedy that easily enough. What else? That boy can’t be so superficial that looks alone would win his heart.”
Adelle snorted. “You’re right on that account. Ben’s awfully picky about women. He can’t stand airheads. Definitely needs an intelligent woman.”
“Golden platinum’s looking more and more tempting,” the old woman mused. “I like a man who appreciates a girl’s brains.”
Adelle cleared her throat. “Er…”
“What about his extracurricular activities? What’s he into? Besides banging brainy blondes. What’s a girl need to know to attract his attention?”
“Banging brainy… Are you trying to set Ben up with someone? Because he’s not exactly a relationship kind of guy.”
“There you go, not seeing what’s right in front of your face again. I told you, I was a real looker back in the day. You wanna know how many men I’ve wrapped these thighs around?” She slapped a hand onto her lap and her skirt jiggled. Her grin revealed that she was missing both incisors.
“I bet I could give that hunk a ride he won’t soon forget. Might even convince him to fall in love with me. Wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened to me.”
