Goodreads Description: Riley Rhodes finally has the chance to turn her family’s knack for the supernatural into a legitimate business when she’s hired to break the curse on an infamous Scottish castle. Used to working alone in her alienating occupation, she’s pleasantly surprised to meet a handsome stranger upon arrival—until he tries to get her fired.
Fresh off a professional scandal, Clark Edgeware can’t allow a self-proclaimed “curse breaker” to threaten his last chance for redemption. After he fails to get Riley kicked off his survey site, he vows to avoid her. Unfortunately for him, she vows to get even.
Riley expects the curse to do her dirty work by driving Clark away, but instead, they keep finding themselves in close proximity. Too close. Turns out, the only thing they do better than fight is fool around. If they’re not careful, by the end of all this, more than the castle will end up in ruins.

Do Your Worst Review
This was a fun read. Was I maybe expecting a bit more, yes, but I didn’t dislike what we got. For some reason romance books always start off a little rocky for me, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s just that I don’t entirely understand the feeling of “see a person, think they are hot, immediately try to sleep with them”. While I thought the romance started too fast (it would have been a more interesting dynamic if this was a second-chance romance and they had known each other previously), I do think it was still cute.
I liked the characters and their motivation, and as always I am grateful for the dual POV. Both Riley and Clark were well fleshed out, and I found myself rooting for them to grow as individuals and as partners.
This book also has a really fun magic system. The way the curses work was both magical and logical, and I enjoyed that touch. Overall I think the story could have used some more work, but once again I’m not mad about it. I wouldn’t mind if we got a second book in this series following two of the characters mentioned in this one, and I will definitely read from Rosie Danan again.
