A Cure for Spring Fever by Barbara Robinson 💕Book Blast and $25 Gift Card Giveaway 💕 (Paranormal Romance)





For centuries, Gamekeepers have used their magical abilities to create a buffer between the creatures who dwell in the enchanted forest and the sleepy coastal town that sits in its shadow. When Gamekeeper Stan Ross’s magic begins to fail, he must find out what went wrong, then fix it before the two worlds collide. His hit or miss magic has already led to a few close calls so he journeys to the Sacred Isle searching for answers and advice. Finding a cure proves elusive—until Stan encounters a kitchen witch who captivates him body and soul. Lynnette Peters is healing from her own wounds, however, and it isn’t clear whether she’s ready to open herself to the possibility—or the peril—of love.


An as-you-live-and-breathe troll was her MysticMingle match for the evening.


Troll-kin or not, she did her best to engage her date in conversation, but her ‘date’ seemed incapable of responding with anything more than one-word answers and occasional grunts. When the server returned to take their order, it was almost a relief.


“I’ve heard the gumbo is good here,” Lynnette said. “But the roasted vegetable ragout sounds delicious—root vegetables, garlic, lemongrass and spring chives, all served with lashings of butter. I’ll go with that, I think.”


The waitress jotted down her order and turned expectantly to her companion.


“Svith,” he grunted.


The waitress wrinkled her nose. “I’m not sure if that is something Chef can prepare.”


“Svith,” her companion insisted, slapping a crooked-knuckled hand on the table.


“Okay,” she replied, holding up a hand. “I’ll ask him to make it just for you.”


Unfamiliar with the dish, Lynnette asked her date—who had introduced himself by slapping his chest and saying Stink Foot with a discernable note of pride—about it while they waited for their food to arrive. 


“Svith good,” he said, but didn’t elaborate.


She had to wait until a large platter was set in front of him to understand what the fuss was about. The dish consisted of half a boiled sheep’s head, the hair singed off, floating in a greasy broth. Watching her date tuck into his svith was enough to turn Lynnette off her ragout, but she struggled through a few tentative bites.


Then he scooped the eye out of its socket with a spoon and presented it to her. “Try svith?”

    1. I thought Lynnette showed remarkable restraint under the circumstances, but the eyeball was a bridge too far.
