Cursed Touch by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Carter Broderick is a man who can heal, he has been doing it for years both as a doctor in the human world and the magical world as well, as a young man, he felt like an alien and like he never fit in, but he is thankful for it now. Vanessa Rayne is a woman with her own jewellery business and shop where she sells it, she is also very independent and full of fire.

One day, Vanessa is coming home after a long day when she hears grunting coming from nearby, however, when she realises that it isn’t her neighbour’s nightly antics and that it is actually another of her neighbours trying to get up the stairs in pain that she rushes to help him, he says that it is a dog bite, but his leg is covered in blood and he is barely conscious, but she manages to get him back down the stairs and into her car so that she can take him to the ER. When she arrives there and he starts convulsing, she rushes inside and shouts her need for help, fortunately, there is a doctor at the front desk who comes to help her. Carter hears her cries for help and rushes to the car and starts healing the man in his arms after asking the woman with him to wait outside, when he gets to the stage when he can hand over to another person for treatment, Carter escapes to the bathroom to recover from the drain on his magic, which means that it wasn’t just a normal dog bite.

The next day Vanessa is trying to figure out what happened with her neighbour and the mysterious doctor, she doesn’t believe that it was just top notch medical care, but something else entirely, it isn’t the first time, she has seen something unusual and when she goes to check up on him, she sees something else and keeps seeing things, but when she mentions it to her friends, they look at her like she is crazy. A few days pass and she runs into the mysterious doctor again, this time they even exchange names and numbers, but someone else has been looking for her too, but this person isn’t going to let her escape that easily, she has been poking around in something she shouldn’t have and it is now coming back to haunt her.

As they start to spend more time together, Vanessa and Carter cannot deny their attraction to each other, but when strange things keep happening to Vanessa, Carter realises that he will do anything to protect her, but will she let him, or will her independent nature stop her from accepting his help, but as secrets and revelations pile up, will they be buried, or can they dig themselves out from underneath them all? This is a romance with a hint of danger and a sprinkle of magic throughout which will keep you completely engaged with the story all the way up to the end.
