Kiss At Your Own Risk by Stephanie Rowe

I couldn't put down Kiss at Your Own Risk. It will have you turning the pages until the early hours of the morning. Kiss at Your Own Risk is different than anything else out there right now.
He needed a killer woman...
Blaine Underhill is one lucky man after having recently escaped a century and a half of imprisonment at the hands of an evil witch. Now he's determined to save his still-enslaved friend, but in order to do so, he'll need the help of one of the world's most lethal women.
She was drop dead gorgeous, literally...
Trinity Harpswell is sick and tired of being a Black Widow. Having managed to go three years without accidentally killing anyone she loves, she's one short week away from freeing herself from this killer curse forever.
When Blaine tracks her down and convinces her to help him, little does Trinity know that the next seven days are going to be murder!
I loved Trinity. She wanted to be normal, fall in love get married, have children and the whole lot. But Trinity's life is anything but normal. Trinity has to go five years without killing someone and the curse of the black widow will be lifted, and she is almost there when the twist comes... Trinity either has to kill two people or her father dies. This was interesting. She cared so much about her parents, and couldn't let that happen.

Blane comes off somewhat ruthless, but after all he has been through you can't really blame him. Blane was the perfect hero for Kiss at Your Own Risk. He was hot and a warrior. However the whole use and kill Trinity might be a small mark against him at least at the beginning. I loved Blane's gift of being able to lite his body on fire, and throw fireballs. Very interesting, but I would have liked to know more about it and why he was able to do it. I wanted more back story when it came to Blane and his warriors.

I loved Kiss at Your Own Risk. Trinity was perfect for it. Stephanie was really able to bring to life what it would be like to be the black widow. Trinity killed four men but she still came off engaging. It would be awful to kill the men you love after realizing you loved them. Trinity had to live with that, and not let anyone in. She couldn't risk falling in love with someone until the curse was lifted.

Stephanie Rowe puts a whole new spin in the Black Widow myth, and the paranormal romance genre as we know it. Everything about Kiss at Your Own Risk is great. The characters are alive and jump off the page, and the story is entertaining. Kiss at Your Own Risk has everything a Paranormal Romance love wants, and none stop action. Kiss at Your Own Risk is a great read, that you wont want to put down.
