Justine Hoffman has made a safe and comfortable life for herself on the island of Friday Harbour but 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.

But when Justine discovers that someone cast a spell on her when she was born, with the result that she will never find her soul mate, she is determined to change her fate. But she could never have dreamt of the dangerous complications that will follow . . .

Meeting the mysterious Jason Black, Justine 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.

I... loved Justine, I loved her witch aspect, I love how she deals with all the emotional crap that she has to. I loved the chemistry between her and Jason, the sex scenes were sooo good and hot. I did not like Jason. He seemed through all of the book like the guy who takes what he wants, without any regard to the people around him. He wanted her book, he took it (even after he fell in love with her), he wanted her, he wanted to stay in her life even if she didn't, so he did everything, including basically forcing her to stay in his hotel room to make sure it happened. Until the very end, where he was willing to sacrifice everything for her, all was about him. Even them being together was not because she would be happier or anything with him. He wanted her, lover her, so that's how it was going to be. Ugh. Hated it.

But, their chemistry and Justine pulled it out for me, plus I really liked the witch stuff.
