Mattie has led a hard life. She doesn’t open up easily and trusts people even less. But that all changes when she meets West. Mattie finally meets the family that turned their back on her as a child where she was subjected to all kinds of pains. When she is forced to do the biggest con of her life, posing as the missing granddaughter of a wealthy matriarch, Mattie soon realizes things are not what they seem and she may be in even more danger than she’s ever been.

West meets Mattie and something clicks between them even though he’s dating Mattie’s “sister”, Emeline. West knows that Mattie couldn’t possibly be his Elaine. He is going to do his best to prove Mattie a fraud but it becomes a gamble once he realizes that he’s falling for her.The con was supposed to be simple - get in, get the money, get out. But when Mattie meets the family that rejected her as an infant, she becomes tangled in a dark family mystery that someone will kill to keep unsolved.

As she struggles to earn the reward offered to her by her wealthy maternal grandmother, her past threatens to destroy the tentative new life she is trying to build with West, a passionate, moody musician. To save the man she loves, she has to reveal everything. But revealing her past will cost her everything. Mattie must make a choice, one that will either kill her or turn her into the very thing she hates the most. Will she choose her past...or her future?

This is one powerful drama. It held my attention from the very beginning. I truly loved the angst and drama that slowly build into romance for the heroine, Mattie. I wanted to hate the hero, West, but I found it too hard to do that. This is one story that will not be forgotten anytime soon. I just hope that Ms. Steia will continue on with this story for it’s just too good to be the end.Ms. Steia, author of MUSE and the "Swamp Baby" series, welcomes you to read her gripping new story, A YEAR OF YOU.

Ms. Steia writes exciting, suspenseful and dark paranormal romances. She keeps her readers at the edge of their seats all the while spooking them at the turn of the page. Ms. Steia will keep her reader's interests to the very end of every story.

I give this an overall rating of 5 Enchantments.
