No one can stop the curse laid on him–and breaking it may kill me.I may not have much in this world, but I do have a life plan: work hard, save every penny, get that college degree, and build a better life for myself.Getting involved with the guests of the hotel where I work would derail me from that path. I have been specifically warned to keep away from the ones who stay in the top-floor … in the top-floor suite, the best the hotel has to offer.
That includes the mysterious man, who keeps his face hidden and has some extraordinary things happening in his room.
Before I know it, though, I am drawn to the mystery, to the man himself, and to the incredible world of magic that surrounds him. And when he asks for my help because of a strange affliction that apparently prevents him from using anything electronic, I agree.
Soon, I learn the devastating truth about the curse that plagues him. With time running out, I need to find a way to break it before it takes from me the love I have just found.
Warning: Wicked Warlock is paranormal romance novella that contains graphic scenes of intimacy. Intended for mature readers.

A new to me author. This is the first book I have read by this author, I can honestly say that if all her books are this hot and addictive, then I’ve just become a massive fan.
Wicked Warlock is the second book to be released in the Midnight Coven’s Cursed Coven series, which consists of thirteen different books, each penned by one of today’s hottest paranormal romance authors. While each story stands on its own with a happily ever after, characters do tend to wander from book to book, and you don’t want to miss a cameo by one of your favorites. You can read the novellas in any order.
April meets Oliver as she’s taking towels to his room at the hotel where she works as a maid. April has been told to be careful with the occupants that stay on the top floor of the hotel. April immediately thinks he is insanely attractive and arrogantly smug. She wants nothing to do with his type and quickly departs, from the room when he advances on her. Two days later April is back at the same room, hearing a loud noise, groaning and heat coming from inside the room, she goes in to discover a man dressed in a hooded coat a whole in the window but no fire. He tries to use his phone but sparks come out of it, so he convinces April to make a call for him and take him to see someone who can help him. April is pulled in to a world where magic is real by Oliver when he tells her about a curse that was put on him, a curse that will see him dead in a week unless he passes it to another or falls in love. Realising that there is nothing he can do to stop from dying, Oliver convinces April to spend his final week with him. During this week, April starts falling in love with Oliver, even though she hasn’t seen seen his face or no much about him other then he is a warlock. Oliver doesn’t know what love is so he doesn’t think he loves April, but he can’t bear the thought of not having her by his side.
I really enjoyed this book, the characters were likeable, the story was enjoyable. I can honestly say this will be something I will be rereading in the future.

Wicked Warlock
Oliver & April
It was a quick and enjoyable read. Reading this feels like reading a modern and adult version of Beauty & the Beast. It was simple yet compelling to read. I love how April fell in love with Oliver and oh my gosh the Epilogue. I love it a dream come true indeed
Wicked Warlock by Marina Simcoe is an amazing story that I have loved reading. This is book number two in this amazing series that I have loved reading fro the begining. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about erotic and paranormal romance.

Deliciously wicked. 😉 This story was fresh and enticing. I enjoyed April’s tenacity and willingness to risk everything for love. The hero had a big heart and was worth all the mystery and conflict that came with him. I thoroughly enjoyed yet another book by Marina. No surprise there.
I absolutely loved this book! It was an awesome Friday evening read. Yes, I read it in one sitting;) Such a sweet love story. My only complaint was that I wish it was longer! I definitely would love reading more of their story.
I love The Midnight Coven collaborations and this one did not disappoint. It’s the first time this author does a story with them and I loved it so much. It was like she was always here. The story flowed so well and mentioned other characters we have read about in previous stories. I loved Oliver and April and how their love developed with no physical touch until almost at the end. True love!

A short but sweet story of magic and curses just in time for Halloween. It has a dash of Beauty and the Beast mixed in for good measure with some interesting tie-ins to Ms. Simcoe’s Demons series.
It’s a quick read. If you’re a fan, I wouldn’t miss it.
First book I’ve read in the Cursed Coven series and it was quite enjoyable! Can be finished in less than a day if you’re looking for something quick to read.

Beautiful and worth reading romance story.
I really recommend this story. It’s short and totally worth reading.
It starts and simple girl meeting and mysterious guy and how they relationship evolves from completely strangers to something deeper and powerful.
It’s a beautiful love story with some tear-jerking scenes. There’s more than meets the eye in this wonderful romance. Of course you will find, steamy scenes, hilarious moments and there’s magic, innocence, evil villains, and some ingredients from Cinderella and even Beauty and the Beast fairy tales that make this book precious.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Was a fun, quick read that had a little bit of everything. This was the first read from this author and I will definitely be looking for more of her books soon. Would have liked to see it a little longer and a bit more character depth but as this is a novella I can appreciate the information constraints. Enjoyed the dual perspectives however would have like to see the H in first person. Highly recommended. Everyone needs to believe in a little bit of magic!!

Do you believe in magic?
…maybe you should! Just a l.i.t.t.l.e. stretch of the imagination, and Oliver will take you there. April was not a believer. That changed.
Afflicted by a curse, Oliver asks April to help him. I’m thrilled to see the changes in attitude he soon exhibits. April quickly becomes attached to our ever so wicked warlock. For April, “…love was not in grand deeds, it was in small things.” I love these characters and watching their transformation as their feelings for each other grow. I think you will, too. Believe.
This a relatively short read but so appropriate for the season. April and the oh so sexy Oliver are an odd couple. April falls hard for Oliver and is drawn to him in ways she can’t understand. But she wants to believe. He is magic and cursed. Will April be able to break the curse and have an HEA? No spoilers here. I loved this short story and hope there will be more to follow!
