Cassie Parker's treasure hunting Aunt Minerva sent her a
package from St. Petersburg, Russia. Minerva "liberated" a
priceless antiquity from fellow dealer, Max Stone, without
his knowledge and passed it along to her niece in Florida.
When Cassie opens the package and reads her aunt's note,
she's skeptical but willing to give it a go. It's a lover's
box created by a Gypsy King over a hundred years ago and
it's supposed to make the owner's fantasies come true. The
instructions Minerva sent indicate Cassie should write her
wants and wishes down in the journal included, then put the
journal in the box. Badda-bing, badda-boom. Cassie's
wildest dreams will be realized.
Naturally Max wants his
goods back and follows the box to Florida. Max breaks into
Minerva's antique store, where Cassie is living in the
upstairs apartment. Cassie doesn't know he's there for the
box, she thinks he's the answer to her first magical
request. There's no way Cassie's giving up that box now, no
matter how much Max insists it's really his. But he isn't
the only one looking for the box. The box is rumored to
contain instructions on finding a greater treasure of
riches, hidden inside by the Gypsy King who created the
box. The Russian Federal Service of Security, headed by
Max's old enemy Victor and the Russian Mob Boss Ivan also
want the box for their own reasons. Will Max and Cassie be
able to keep the box, the journal, and their new
relationship intact while fighting against the odds?
The bantering between Max and Cassie sounds genuine and
adds an element of reality to their quick connection.
They're both flawed, but they know it, so when they
recognize that something special in the other; they don't
trust it right away but they don't walk away either. The
graphic sex scenes are frequent, but they seem appropriate
to a story about a magical "lover's box." Although the
ending is clear and complete, there is definite potential
for more entertaining adventures with Cassie and Max.
Cassie Parker's globe-trotting great-aunt has sent her a
Gypsy "lover's box." All she has to do is write down her
most erotic fantasy, tuck it inside the box and presto! Her
own personal sex genie will appear. Right! So Cassie is
totally shocked when a gorgeous stranger does show up. And
she's even more shocked by the things she wants to do with
him….
Treasure hunter Max Stone isn't amused. His latest treasure
has been swiped and he's followed it to a dusty little
antiquities shop in the States. Surely one woman can't
stand in the way of his retrieving the priceless lover's
box? Little did he guess that he'd have his hands full
(literally!) with sexy Cassie. Or that he'd have to hold
off on locating the box until after he located his clothes…
