Reviewers International Organization Award of Excellence 2004 Finalist for Favorite Long Contemporary Romance and Favorite Debut Novel.

Since the day beautiful socialite Afia St. John was born, her life has been plagued with bad luck. After losing her father and two older husbands in "freak" accidents, Afia now discovers her business manager has absconded with her fortune. Vowing not to rely on another man to guide her life, Afia refuses her godfathers' help, and jumps at an unexpected job with the Leeds Investigations.

With a pregnant, broke, sister, and an investigation agency in the red, control-freak Jake Leeds can't turn down the hefty but secret retainer offered by Afia's godfather for hiring her. Quickly seeing beyond her poor business skills, wacky superstitions and sensationalized personal history, he realizes Afia is as generous in the heart as she is misunderstood. But life is never easy for the woman born on Friday the 13th. Will the sexy PI be the good luck charm that puts her on a winning streak or, like everything else in her life, will their relationship wind up Jinxed?

 

Reviews

 

"The hi-jinks of Ciotta's charmingly imperfect heroine makes Jinxed a hip, witty, fun read."
~ Bestselling Author of The Last Dance, Nan Ryan

"Fast-paced, sizzlingly sexy fun!"
~USA Today bestselling author Karyn Monk

"Jinxed is an enjoyable private investigative romance that has the feel of the 1930s Hepburn-Grant madcap comedies. ... fans of screwball romantic romps will enjoy the love tale of the socialite and the sleuth."
~ Amazon.com Reviewer, Harriet Klausner

"Jinxed is a wonderful addition to any reader's library."
~ Romance Reviews Today


"Jinxed is an entertaining contemporary romance. Ms. Ciotta's gift for humor is appealing and she has done a fine job with all of the characters and plot. I look forward to her next book."
~ A Romance Review

"Beth Ciotta's first solo release is a sexy—Jake is so hot!—and often hilarious story that is guaranteed to hold you to the last page."
~ Road to Romance


"Ciotta scores in this wonderfully warm, witty and sexually charged novel."
~Romantic Times BOOKclub Magazine

10 out of 10!
"Every once in a great while, a writer comes along and really breaks new ground. What makes Jinxed so different from other detective-dame stories is the totally original 'voice' of author Beth Ciotta. She's quirky with a different style and her characters are very original. The whole package works. I found myself laughing out loud and falling in love with Afia and Jake and flat out rooting for them to succeed on their own and as a couple. Great use of original secondary characters, too. Can't wait to read more from this promising new-to-me author."
