Some Kind of Magic

Flirting with Fame, Book 1

De: Mary Ann Marlowe

Narrado por: Jorjeana Marie

In this sparkling debut novel, Mary Ann Marlowe introduces a hapless scientist who's swept off her feet by a rock star - but is it love or just a chemical reaction?

Biochemist Eden Sinclair has no idea that the scent she spritzed on herself before leaving the lab is designed to enhance pheromones. Or that the cute, grungy-looking guy she meets at a gig that evening is Adam Copeland. As in the Adam Copeland - international rock god and object of lust for a million women. Make that a million and one. By the time she learns the truth, she's already spent the (amazing, incredible) night in his bed.

Suddenly Eden, who's more accustomed to being set up on disastrous dates by her mom, is going out with a gorgeous celebrity who loves how down-to-earth and honest she is. But for once Eden isn't being honest. She can't bear to reveal that this overpowering attraction could be nothing more than seduction by science. And the only way to know how Adam truly feels is to ditch the perfume - and risk being ditched in turn.

Smart, witty, and sexy, Some Kind of Magic is an irresistibly engaging look at modern relationships - why we fall, how we connect, and the courage it takes to trust in something as mysterious and unpredictable as love.

Overall a good story

I liked the narration a lot. She did a great job handling the voices of all the characters. The story was a good one overall. It made me uncomfortable at times because there is a lot of should I tell him something that may break us up and I am not good with perceived lies. Or lying. But I am grateful I stuck it out and finished the story. 1 star for spice.

Great plot, poor narration

I really like the whimsical plot. Eden is a very likable character. I liked the cross between nerdy and creative. Adam is a rock star, but not a typical arrogant one. Marlowe did a nice job rounding out the characters. This story will appeal to the romantic of heart with a PG 13+ sex content. It uses the plot device, 'I know something I should tell you but don't.' Its not that big of a deal, at first, but...'

The narrator sounds like she has a cold. I would not listen to this book on enhanced because it is way too distracting. Marie makes Eden sound less than smart. I read book two first, by accident, I liked the narrator way better. I give series a thumbs up, but I don't know where book three is going to go from here unless Eve's best friend is next on the hit parade.

Meh!

He had all the power in the relationship 🙄.. He did not put her first ..she always had to go to him .
