Description

The New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas returns with another winning Friday Harbor Novel, Crystal Cove

One woman who has been cursed never to find love . . .

One man without a soul who wants her more than life itself . . .

They meet in a small island town in the pacific northwest, where magic is in the air and fate is a force too powerful to defy. . . .

Justine Hoffman has made a comfortable life for herself on the island of Friday Harbor. She is the proprietor of a successful boutique hotel, and she has the safe, predictable life she has always wanted. Growing up with her flighty, nomadic mother, Marigold, has instilled in her a deep longing for stability. But in spite of everything Justine has achieved, there is still something missing. Love. And after years of waiting and dreaming, she is willing to do whatever it takes to change her destiny.

What Justine soon discovers is that someone cast a spell on her when she was born, with the result that she will never find her soul mate. Determined to change her fate, Justine finds a way to break the enchantment, never dreaming of the dangerous complications that will follow.

And when Justine meets the mysterious Jason Black, she accidentally unleashes a storm of desire and danger that threaten everything she holds dear . . . because Jason has secrets of his own, and he wants more from her than fate will ever allow.

Loved it!

After reading some of the poorer reviews, I almost didn't buy this. I am so glad I did buy it. Edgier and sexier than the first two in the series. Good story. I loved it. What a great trilogy.

I am a huge fan of Lisa Kleypas. She is my second favorite author behind Mary Balogh but this book is worst than garbage. I am so disappointed and frustrated. Why would she focus most of the book on magic? The magic plot overwhelmed the whole book. It should of focused on the main characters' love but it didn't and the quality of the book suffered because of it. I won't say to fans to not purchase her book because people should make up their own mind but I will say that this book doesn't deserve her name on the title page.😓

Good book, kept
My interest. Did not like authors questions @ end. I read for pleasure, I study & answer questions for tests.
So confused!

I love Lisa Kleypas but this book totally confused me! This book does not belong in the series. I could not finish the book and that is a big deal because I have read all of Lisa's book so far. I do not read paranormal or witch-related books so this book definitely disappointed. I hope Lisa gets back to what her writing that I love.
Disappointed

Sorry to say I was disappointed. Usually love her books but this was off base and didn't fit with the rest of the series.

Doesn't fit with rest of Friday Harbor series...Witches throughout story and bondage sex scenes...not a contemporary book at all! Couldn't even finish this book--don't waste your money!
Bondage and Magic

Lisa Kleypas is a gifted writer…usually…but this book weaves a convoluted story
which, unless you are interested in a weird combination of magic and bondage, may not be for you. strange and a bit boring…didn't read to the end.
Not great

My least favorite of the Friday Harbor series. It was hard to care about anyone involved in the story with the exception of Justine. Definitely recommend the OTHER books in the series though. This one was disappointing.
Remarkable story telling

Couldn't put it down. Read the book in two days. Just when you think it couldn't get better, it does.
