Book excerpt: I should have listened to the snarky ferret. A hilarious Academy Paranormal Romance about parents, shagging, underdogs, and the perfect love potion I thought flunking out of college was the worst thing that could happen. But then my mother's ferret told me I was doomed. I really should have paid more attention. Now I have a boy stalking me through a pewter bowl (don't ask, just know he kisses like fire.) Some dark enchanter is trying to kidnap me to make golden babies. (No, not literally gold.) And apparently I'm supposed to select several members of a -- oh, I better not say it. My dad might be reading this. Let's call it a boy band. With lots of banging. (And probably not on drums.) So it's time to figure this mess out. That my mom did magic. And so can I. And I guess I have to beat the bad guys and save the world. Oh wait. Not the world. Just me. Game on. __ Love Spell is book one in the Love Spell Academy duet but can be read as a standalone. It's a slow burn on the -- ahem -- ensemble cast but fairly fast burn on the first member. Book two would definitely be considered a fast burn on all fronts.
