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!
