Review by Snowdrop

Miranda knows it was fate that brought Devon into her fortune telling tent, fulfilling her grandmother's prophecy. But the sexy detective doesn't believe in fate – he's just looking for a hiding place while he figures out his next move. Can Miranda convince him that love is really in the cards?

Lara Dien creates characters that captivate you right from the start. They personalities are exciting. The chemistry between Miranda and Devon keeps you reading without wanting to stop until you reach the end. The scenes are very detailed and erotic. I definitely rate this one high on the heat level and written so well you forget you're reading.  

The story itself has just enough about both of their lives and their sexual encounters to keep it interesting. Also, I love that it is based on fortune telling and tarot – very unique and unusual. The first scene at the fair was quite intriguing and very steamy – something I might be tempted to fantasize about myself. I would definitely like to read more by this author.
