Cassandra's Curse

by Stella Moore

Seven hundred years ago, Cassandra was bound to an amulet and cursed to a life of servitude. By the time she is released by the handsome Wyatt Hartnett, she no longer believes that the curse can be lifted. Wyatt proves to be far different than her previous masters. Kind and caring, he refuses to use magic to force her to obey. His methods of ensuring her obedience are more… human. Before long, her heart begins to warm and she dares to dream that this stern but decent man may indeed be her last master. The man who will set her free. But the one who imprisoned her has only grown more powerful over the last seven centuries, and she will do whatever it takes to see that the curse remains unbroken. Is the magic of Wyatt’s love strong enough to break the ancient curse? Or will one of them pay the ultimate price for Cassandra’s freedom? Publisher’s This paranormal romance includes elements of power exchange and explicit scenes.

A good, entertaining read. A good read for a rainy day, or an afternoon spent lounging at the pool. Well written and well paced. I prefer slightly longer, more intricate plots, but for the genre it hits all the marks.
I'll be looking for her next one.

SIBLING RIVALRY WITH MAGIC

I enjoyed this different story that revolves around two sisters, one is light, Iliana, and the other one is dark, Cassandra, and between them, there was always a bit of one-upmanship. When Cassandra does something to hurt her sister most deeply, Iliana will devise a curse that will bind Cassandra to servitude tied to an amulet. For over seven hundred years, she has been a prisoner of the curse, oft times, locked away.

Present day, Wyatt Hartnett will go to a special little shop his mother likes to frequent for a gift for her birthday. Finding a unique necklace, he will purchase and when he gets home, a piece of paper will fall out, but when he reads the words, he is surrounded by light and before him kneels a woman, Cassandra. What kind of magic is this? Is she a witch?

“An enchantress. And yes. Were you not the one who released me from the stone? --Cassandra

The story will have Wyatt stunned by Cassandra’s presence, and she can show him a little bit of magic to convince him she is real. What she isn’t allowed to tell him is how to break the curse. To do so would doom her to the amulet for all of eternity.

There are a chemistry and attraction between Wyatt and Cassandra. While he at first tries to be gentlemanly, that will falter quickly. When Cassandra does things to people with her magic, he will punish her. Not only do they enter into a sexual relationship, but also a domestic discipline relationship. But what happens as these two are starting to fall in love with each other. They must seek out someone trustworthy to help find the key to breaking the curse.

The story is a journey, including learning the deed that leads to Iliana placing her sister under the curse of the amulet and servitude. Also a little about some of the men she was indentured to over the years. What will it take to break the curse and free her and mend her ties with her family? Is the price too high to pay?

“Everything I am is yours. For the rest of my existence, I am yours. My heart, my soul, my magic, I give to you.”

The story does end on a happy note but not without a forfeit. True love is the most powerful magic there is. There is a unique cast of characters, and most of them will play a role in this tale. The story has explicit sex scenes, mild BDSM, and multiple types of spankings.

“It was something that had to be discovered. A journey only you could take.

A beautifully written book full of fantasy, wit and plenty of steamy, steamy spankings. I absolutely loved this book. "Bad" witch, Cassandra, has been trapped inside an amulet for hundreds of years. She can only be released to serve the will of the man who possesses it. These men use and abuse her before banishing her back to her mystical prison.

Until a lovely chap called Wyatt stumbles across the amulet, says the magic words and finds a naked enchantress in his living room. He rolls with it surprisingly well and sets about trying to find a way to break the curse so that Cassandra can be free forever. Along the way, Cassandra and Wyatt fall for one another and enjoy lots of delightful sex and spankings. Which is great news for Wyatt and Cassandra and - of course - us, the readers. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about an all-powerful enchantress submitting to discipline because she absolutely knows it will do her good.

This is a well written story with some intriguing twists. I thoroughly recommend it.

I loved this fresh take on the stranger-in-a-strange land story. Cassandra is a witch cursed by her sister after stealing the man her sister loved. She's enslaved to a pendant and has become something of a genie, serving each master her necklace-prison is passed to. Wyatt is a modern man and a Dom and isn't quite sure what to make of this woman out of time, but quickly determines that she needs someone to bring her in line and he's more than up to the task.
I really liked the way the author handled Cassandra's adjustment to the modern world. She's not a traditional "heroine" and I really liked that she wasn't the good guy of the backstory. She grows and develops, and Wyatt is a big part of that. The spanking scenes are electric and I loved the chemistry between them. There were some heart-wrenching moments, too, and it's a testament to how well-written this story is that I could feel sorry for someone who started off as heartless and self-centered as Cassandra is at the beginning.
I'll definitely be reading more by this author.

Stella Moore has given us a great story that includes kinkery, magic, romance, and ancient curses. It's a great mix and one that I enjoyed reading.

Cassandra is a powerful magic user who got cursed into an amulet hundreds of years ago. Part of her curse is that she will have to spend the rest of eternity serving whatever man happens to hold the amulet, until or unless she finds someone who can break the curse for her.

When Wyatt walks into an antique store to buy a present for his mother for her birthday, he didn't expect to find the beautiful necklace that he did. When he got it home and looked at it again, there was a parchment inside that he read, and out appeared Cassandra.

I like how Cassandra has to work on figuring out the present and how Wyatt is patient with her and helps her. I also like the way that Wyatt gives her boundaries and consequences, something that she needed. All in all, a good story and I would love to read more about Cassandra and Wyatt.

I absolutely adored this book. It is filled with more than magic. Parts of the book are heart wrenching and other parts are very erotic. Some are even worth smiling about. It has taken Cassie seven hundred years to find a man to truly love and one that will love her. Of course she must break her sister’s curse and she now finally understands the pain she put her sister through. This book was magical and I truly enjoyed it. I would love to see a story about Cassie’s sister, Iliana, and hopefully she would find love again. I highly recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

[Heart5 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is not a story I would normally pick, but having liked all the author's previous books I decided to go for it. I was not disappointed. The story was very well written, and kept my interest from the first page to the last. The romance was sweet, but it was the story of Cassandra and the amulet that really captured my attention. I liked the interweaving of the past with the present to get the full understanding of Cassandra's character. Both Cassandra and Wyatt's characters were very likeable and worked well together. The inclusion of the two families was a nice touch as well. This is definitely a book worth reading.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book by Stella Moore was an absolute delightfully delicious and fun read that included magic as it took the reader on a rollercoaster ride of emotions that included betrayal, hatred, revenge, depression, resignation, lust, and even some domestic discipline thrown in for good measure. And, of course, we can't forget the heartfelt romantic side of the story as well as the characters try to figure out how they can work together to make their life work. This is a very late voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Blushing Books.

[Margaret Corcoran · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading this different story. It's a nice way to spend an evening of reading. It's well written. The characters are well done. There are some disciplinary spankings and hot spicy sex. But it's ultimately a sweet sexy love story. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book and I highly recommend it. I envy this author's amazing imagination!

[Eva Wade · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great story of love and loss. Cassandra betrayed her sister by sleeping with the love of her life. so she curses a necklace and traps her in it. only to become the slave to the male wielders of the necklace until her latest master refuses to use the necklace and chooses to contol her a more old fashion way, This is a standalone with a HEA.

[Nancy Nicholson hughes · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fun read, romance, sex spankings, and magic. If Wyatt wanted Cassandra naked, instantly her clothes were off. It becomes a little tense toward the end, and you won't want to put it down. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

[Susan Landowski · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a quick fun read. Has magic, family drama and secrets, romance and spanking. The characters and their interactions keep you entertained. Please read.

[Doreen Frantz · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good short read. Enjoyable. Quite a bit of discipline. Suspenseful.
