"Smart, sexy, and deliciously fun, this book is everything I love about the written word! It's a masterful balance of humor and heart with a touch of mystery thrown in for good measure." - NY Times Bestselling Author - Darynda Jones

When down-on-her-luck costume designer Remington Smith receives a surprise inheritance, she must return to the town she swore to forget. And complete a list of mandatory projects. And learn to cast magic spells. Magic spells? Too bad the hunky guy next door keeps getting in the way.

After a tornado ravages a small town, Jason Hart purchases ninety percent of the property to develop as a corporate training ground for Think Tank Innovations. But his first renovation crew quits. Then another. And another. They all say ghosts are running amok—and the whole town is hexed with an anti-love spell.

Except Jason doesn’t believe in ghosts or (anti) love spells. And given how drawn he is to his spunky new neighbor, that doesn’t seem likely to change anytime soon.

While Remington works to complete her inherited to-do-list, avoid falling for her playboy neighbor, and learn how to cast spells that don’t backfire, she discovers a menacing mystery involving the orphanage where she grew up.

A mystery so unsettling Jason goes all boring-protector-dude and starts trying to shove her out of town and out of his life.

But Remington has never been good at taking orders.

Buy Hexes and O's and fall in love with a cast of quirky characters you will want to invite to all your future parties.

Virtual voice narration ruined it

Although I felt the ending of this book was a bit disappointing. Overall, I felt like it was a cute story, but the virtual voice narration made it very hard to listen to. Many times throughout the story I thought about just giving up and not finishing it because I couldn’t take, the monotone boring virtual voice, but decided to stick it out, hoping that the book would be so good it would be worth it. Sadly, I feel like the whole story had potential, but fell flat in the end. 

It was unique

I dont like sex scenes in my books and this had alot not to mention they talked alot during sex so when i fast forwarded i missed things im sure. It did not have a resolution. Did they end up together ? Who was her parents? Who was after the orphans? Did her friend’s fiancae ever hear the truth about her deception? It ended halfway through the story.

AI narration is aweful

The story had potential unfortunately the AI voice narration ruins it. The pronunciation, cadence and lack of difference from character to character makes the narration annoying at best. It was so distracting I did not finish the book. Maybe I'll buy the ebook version.
Audible please stop this AI trend. I'd rather pay more for a real human narrator who understands inflection & emotion.

Virtual Audio

This was my 1st experience with virtual audio and I did not like it. It lacked the emotional tone which professional audio performers bring to the book, The story itself was good. I think it would have been great with the “right” narrator.

I liked the players and the story line.

End too many unanswered Who wants to kill her and why. Did the boy get adopted. Is there a book two.
