My Review

I have always liked the novels that I’ve read by Sandra Cox and Boji Stones is no exception. Call it the romantic in me, but I always love a great ending. The book starts with the magnanimity of gods who give to five mortal women a magical amulet: of power, beauty, creativity,  knowledge and healing.

The story then moves to present-day times. We meet Maureen Sinclair who is the nowadays owner of the healing amulet. But there are other people having their eyes on the precious object.

 Can Jack Wolfe, the handsome professor, be a tool of the evil forces wanting to grab it? You can feel the sparks between Maureen and Jack, though she and her loyal friend Hank suspect he is behind the many bad things happening in her life.

The characters are fun and realistic, even Bella, who wants back the beauty amulet that was stolen from her. There’s a great scene when Maureen and Bella join forces in a hospital room.

I especially loved the plot in this book. The plot moved along nicely with twists thrown in. When you think the story goes to a predictable direction, a twist pushes everything to a rollercoaster of events. I loved how each chapter ends with a snippet, the POV of the mean character. This snippet becomes a cliffhanger. It doesn’t let you close the book and makes you want to find out who is who and what their target is.

It’s a nice, quick read; making it the perfect romantic suspense book.

Guest #Promo Sandra Cox and the Boji Stones

Carmen, thanks so much for letting me visit today and chat about my paranormal romantic suspense Boji Stones.  Most of your viewers may be familiar with Boji Stones but for those who aren’t let me give you a little background.

These stones are some of the most fascinating of our time. Found in Kansas, some people believe they were left by aliens.  They come in male and female stones and look like pieces of gray coal. The female is a smooth stone while the male has a rough texture.  True Boji Stones are difficult to come by. They are compared to jumping beans because their energy is so powerful you can almost feel them jumping in your hands. They are grounding stones and helpful with incarnation. Blue Boji stones have a high spiritual vibration.  But more important to this story they are said to activate regeneration…….

Reader Warning: This story contains myth, magic, ancient amulets and a sexy professor.

Blurb: Marnie Sinclair has a secret that could rock the modern world.  Two men have discovered it.  One is a scholar.  One is a madman.

Legend Has It:

His trembling fingers rested on the keyboard as he leaned toward the monitor. 

An uncontrollable twitch ran through his body as he devoured the article with the greedy need of a child.

Legend has it that out of all the mortals on Earth five women found favor with the gods—Sophia whose face was pitted and ravaged by pox,

Zoe, a young queen, whose village was razed and plundered and she herself taken as slave,

Pelagia who had the body of a woman and the mind of a child,

Olympia a poor widow with children to feed and Helen who lost four of her five children to the plague and begged the gods to spare her remaining child.

Moved,the gods created five special amulets.

To Sophia they gave an amulet forged with beauty and creativity.

To Zoe an amulet forged with power.

To Pelagia an amulet forged with knowledge.

To Olympia an amulet forged with wealth.

And for Helen they forged a copper amulet with a beautiful amethyst at its center.

Two plain stones the size of small coins flanked the amethyst. The female stone smooth, the male stone’s texture rough. Then they fused the amulet with healing.

Orso legend has it…
