Kissed by Magic by Erica Ridley

4.0

This is honestly one of the cutest stories that I have read in quite a while. Magic mixes with modern technology in the world Ridley gives us. Along with some science fiction. A mercenary with a large bounty on his head and a fabled treasure in a castle guarded by ice that no one has ever returned from. Well guess what, our protagonist is just the main to try it.

Lance goes to the castle because he needs money quick and is too stubborn to sell some of the priceless artwork he has in his home. So he braves the cold and foreboding temperatures until he reaches Castle Cavanaugh only to find he is trapped inside with Princess Marigold, who has been under the curse for over 600 years.

The comedy in this novel is golden, it isn't trite or awkward. In fact, the author tells the story in a laid-back and easy-going manner. We immediately like both the main characters and hope that they can break the curse before Lance is doomed at midnight.
