The Superstitious Romance

by Anastasia Alexander

Can Love Survive Friday the 13th?
Friday the 13th has always been unlucky for history professor Camille Britain, and this one doesn't seem any different. In an effort to escape her failed marriage, Camille is renting a cabin in beautiful Island Park, Idaho, where she meets wildlife photographer Jackson Armstrong, who scoffs at her superstitious ways and infuriates her with his offers of help.

Camille doesn't need another man—not even one as compelling and attractive as Jackson. Especially when he seems hung up on another woman. And yet Camille can’t deny the passion between them or the way Jackson makes her feel.

This Friday the 13th upsets both their worlds by forcing Camille and Jackson to see things about themselves, their families, and each other that might—with a little help—change them forever. Maybe this time superstition is on their side.

The Superstitious Romance is a "sweet romance" about a strong woman who feels weak, a man who doubts himself, and a powerful love that changes everything.

About the author

Anastasia Alexander doesn’t have the answers to life’s love questions. What she does know is that love in the 21st Century is complex. There are no easy answers, and there is a lot of richness and juiciness in exploring all the complexity that love brings.

Her credentials are two failed marriages, equaling twenty-three years of marriage and a willingness to believe that maybe a third one will be her lucky number. Or she might decide to compete with Elizabeth Taylor for who can get married the most times. It is yet to be determined which option she’s going to go for, but until then she pours her passion and sarcasm for relationships into her stories.

As far as superstitious, this is a 5 star. As far as romance this is more like a 3 star. I feel like the romance part was rushed and seemed doubtful because the romance part was barely even grazed before they suddenly worked through and put aside all their reservations, differences, past romantic baggage and rejection. It just would have been more realistic to me if they had taken a little more time working through those hurtful things or spending more time with one another as a couple would have given their story more balance. It is still interesting and dramatic enough to read from beginning to end.

I was provided a free copy, which I am voluntarily reviewing.

This was Jackson and Camille's story and an installment in the Millionaire Romance series. It was my least favorite of the four books. I liked the characters enough but I was not attached to them the way I was with the other books. The setting was nice and their chemistry was alright. There was good enough mix of drama and romance it just wasn't my favorite book in the series. I thought it would be a good read on Friday the 13th. I think others would enjoy it more than I did though.

History professor Camille Britain and her daughter Darlene meet wildlife photographer Jackson Armstrong and his son Austin. Camille and Jackson have a lot in their pasts that they have to get over if they are to move forward, there is Maggie Jackson's ex-wife who is a real pain that is one of the problems. Camille also has a bad Superstition of Friday the 13th. A well-written story that I enjoyed reading. I received a copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.

She had taken a remote cabin, in a bid to finish her book, but also to be independent. He appeared the night they arrived, and wanted to assist her, but she stubbornly refused.
It's surprising what turns her attitude around, and what happens from then on. It goes to show, you don't have to be young, to be foolish, yet the parents seem to have far less sense than their almost adult children.

Enjoyable characters, with funny moments and humorous dialogue. Clean and meaningful story, eventful and rewarding scenes from Yellowstone. Read it! enjoyment is guaranteed.

This book is a mix of two middle age adults trying to reclaim themselves after their divorces and an academic paper on superstition.

All the historical superstitious traditions are interesting but sometimes take away from the plot line. Twisting them into the story does makes for some really funny scenes though. The divorcee baggage is a little griping (not my favorite) but feels quite genuine and at times heartbreaking. Their children are also funny and classic additions to the story.

I don't read many getting over divorce stories. They just aren't my thing. Other than that, for me, the story was a fun romance that teaches a lot about superstitions in a fun sort of way.

Content: mild language

This book was a fun and lively romance about 2 divorcees and the friendship they find while helping each other in the wilds of Idaho’s Island Park and Yellowstone Park. Many quirky things happen to Camille in her search for self-discovery and Jackson comes to the rescue but then discovers that things are not always what they seem. This unlikely pair defy the past and recognize that their friendship is one of healing and love.

[Erica · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the characters. They were flawed, but were able to overcome some flaws by getting in a new relationship and reflecting back on past relationships.
I liked the superstitions and the Yellowstone setting. I thought the accident and his ex wife's choices were a little much for the story. I do like happy endings. This one felt earned.

[Charissa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a unique romance in that the characters are middle-aged and both recovering wrecks from recent divorces. They meet and don’t want to like each other and their kids don’t want them to like each other either. It’s kind of a fun train wreck to watch as all the silly superstitions work their way into their lives on the pages.

This is a fun little story about finding love after divorce. It was a quick, easy read. The descriptions of the scenery and wildlife were magnificent. I gave it a 4-star rating because some of the situations were pretty over the top and there were a few places where it didn't flow smoothly.

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok book. I liked the Yellowstone scenery and the superstitions.

[Carina · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a cute quick read! I loved how down to earth it was. It had lots of little laughs throughout.

[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]

4.5 star story, but the continuity issues with the facts changing from one page or chapter that occurred, sometimes drove me crazy. So took off for that.

[Kristin · Rating 2 out of 5]

I don't really care for it. I'd give it 2 _ stars. clean

[Rachelle · Rating 1 out of 5]

Editing errors, continuity errors, and unrealistic situations made this free book not worth the money I didn't spend.

[Carrie Rosen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very Superstitious

A nice twist to the usual romance. Enjoyed the characters but wish they were better developed. The end came too quickly.

[Cary · Rating 1 out of 5]

This was not my favorite... the characters felt flat and the plot was rambling and pedantic.
