This was my first Kelly Siskind book and what a good surprise!
A magician and his assistant.
A man burnt and scarred in different ways, surviving his colorless life, trying to honor a ghost...
A man who lives for magic, who loves to mesmerize and surprise his audience... but with no magic left in his life.
A woman shining from every pore of her body, a sun, a star, a rainbow, a colorful fireworks, a magical unicorn...
A woman who sees life with its whole color palette, a life full of joy if you know where to look at...
They both are artists, fighters, generous and caring and beautiful humans.
They both have a difficult past, a complicated present, an unsure future...
The author uses a colorful vocabulary, creates really really really moving characters, adds a lot of sensitivity and creativity to her story...
I loved the love story, the relationship between the hero and his brothers, the way the author surprises us, the writing, the ending...

Falling for your surly boss is a rotten idea.
Letting him saw you in half is even worse...
Beatrice Baker may be a struggling artist, but she believes all hardships have silver linings...until she follows her boyfriend to New Orleans and finds him with another woman. Instead of turning those lemons into lemonade, she drinks lemon drop martinis and keys the wrong man's car.
Now she works for Huxley Marlow of the Marvelous Marlow Boys, getting shoved in boxes as an on-stage magician's assistant. A cool job for some, but Bea's been coerced into the role to cover her debt. She also maybe fantasizes about her boss's adept hands and what else they can do.
She absolutely will not fall for him, or kiss him senseless. Until she does. The scarred, enigmatic Huxley has unwittingly become her muse, unlocking her artistic dry spell, but his vague nightly activities are highly suspect. The last time Beatrice trusted a man, her bank account got drained and she almost got arrested. Surely this can't end that badly...right?

Pure magic, can I use more stars?
I am completely in love with this book, what a sweet and magical story. I felt every word in my very soul! A reminder to love our scars, how special and unique they make us, and that any person who may love us, should love them too! One of the best books I’ve read this year.

That was a lot of fun.
Both Bea and Huxley were both a little down on their luck, when fate, and some minor criminal activity, brought them together.
I instantly loved Bea. Not only was she the good kind of quirky, but she was also able to stay upbeat and optimistic even when people she loved continuously disappointed her. Her sunny disposition and motivation endeared her to me, and I loved the way she automatically fit right into Marvelous Marlow Brothers fold.
Marvelous, indeed. These three brothers shared a fun dynamic. I really enjoyed all the scenes they shared together, and thought it was great they way they grew as a unit over the course of the story. Huxley easily emerged as the "head" of the family, and he was a great hero for Bea to fall in love with.
Huxley had the weight of the world on his shoulders, and had, like Bea, been let down by a parent. He had been caring for his brothers in some capacity for many years, and had been fighting to save the family theatre and legacy since his father's death. All this responsibility left him without much time for fun and romance, but meeting Bea was a game changer. She brought out that fun-loving side of Huxley, and it was a beautiful thing to see.
The two were very sweet together, and watching the romance blossom and become more was very rewarding. I love the idea of finding your "person", and Siskind gave these two someone special in each other.
There was fun and antics and even some nefarious plots, but most of all, I saw a lot of people connecting with each other in meaningful ways, and realizing that these connections were more important than anything else.
I sort of wish the epilogue was included, because anyone who knows me knows I am all about the closure, but I am looking forward to release day, because I feel like Siskind has something really special planned for this group.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2019Oh, friends.
This book.
THIS. BOOK.
This book has so many fun elements that aligns with Kelly's signature writing style, but has the right amount of "different" that makes this book a total page turner. Bea and Huxley's meet cute is classic Kelly. Something so realistic that makes you laugh and say, "oh shit" at the same time. The setting of a magician's assistant made me say outloud, "...okay, now that's pretty cool..." and is fun, unique, and had me anxious to know if Huxley's show would be a success or a flop. And the push/pull Kelly creates on the page is wonderful, making that happily ever after so worth it in the end.
I think this quote from John Green's The Fault In Our Stars sums up Bea and Huxley's relationship (and ultimately how I feel about this book): “....I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”
**I won this ARC through an author sponsored giveaway.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020The story was cute. I had a little bit of issue with the third person way it was written, but that’s more a personal thing than any reflection on the story itself. I also ended up speeding up the audiobook to 1.25 speed. I prefer to listen at regular speed unless the narrator is slow, so this one required the speeding up. I was clued into a treat I had not discovered in the three times I’ve been to New Orleans, and that is beignets with cream filling. Something I’ll just have to go back to try. There were some of the things that frustrate me, her not reading all the messages at the end, him letting someone else put doubts in his head, but I do have to say that the whole death scene at the end was a big surprise that I didn’t see coming! Now I don’t see that it is a series, but I would definitely be interested in reading about Huxley’s brothers finding their own romance!
