Six of Hearts (Hearts #1) by L.H. Cosway

"...Mystery is better than the truth. So why not live with the magic? Be a kid again and believe in the fantastical. Life is more fun with a little smoke and mirrors."

Six of Hearts reminded me of the movie Now You See Me (if you haven't seen it, I highly suggest you do so because it rocks!), especially with the long waited revenge plots and mind-boggling tricks, except this has way more romance and the "Four Horsemen" are all rolled into one gorgeously charming man! Apart from a couple of minor inconsistencies that I can't discuss without spoiling the whole thing, this book is absolutely amazing and I devoured it within a day! Jay and Matilda are perfect together and I love how all the little pieces of the puzzle came together beautifully in the end!

At first glance, Matilda is just your average, awkward, twenty-three year old secretary who still lives at home and the only thing that even begins to hint at a tragic past is a silver scar running down the side of her face. Don't let her appearance fool you, however, her inner commentary is hilarious! Then, what starts out as another boring day at the office turns life-altering the second illusionist extraordinaire Jay Fields steps foot into her father's law firm demanding he take his case and changes her life forever.

Their attraction is instantaneous and surprising for Matilda, seeing as her love life has always been laughable at best, but deep down she knows that "Jay Fields" is so much more than he's letting on. A true magician, Jay keeps his cards close to his chest, leaving Matilda wondering exactly what his endgame is as he draws her into his world of secrets and misdirection that is more dangerous than meets the eye. Sit back and hold onto your seat as old wrongs are made right with a little mayhem and a whole lot of magic! Can you figure out where Jay Fields hides his Six of Hearts?
