While Jolie has one goal in mind, to stake the vampire, Ryder, who nearly killed her, she also must choose between the affections of her warlock employer, Rand, and the mysteriously sexy vampire, Sinjin.

And as if that weren't enough to ruin a girl's day, everything Jolie knows will be turned inside out when she's thrust into the shock of a lifetime.

What are readers saying about Toil and Trouble?

”I cannot remember the last time that I have fallen so in love with a series of books. I dread having to stop reading! I do not know what I will be doing with myself until the next one comes out. I also find myself very torn between Rand and Sinjin. I have never really faced this problem before it has usually always been so clear in the past in other books... I love Rand and Sinjin both so much! It is now 12:47am and I am in work at 8:00am. Do I really have to go to sleep????” --Christine

” I am new to the Paranormal romance genre. Now I can say I have read several Paranormal Romances within the last few months. This one has been my favorite. I read the first book in this series and I enjoyed it, but I REALLY enjoyed this one! I really liked the time travel aspect toward the end of the book, the relationship between both Jolie and Rand and Jolie and Sinjin, the descriptions of the fairy world, the Prophetess, etc. In particular, I love the character of Sinjin - I find him fascinating! I am really looking forward to the next book in the series!!--Seattle Book Lover
