Description from the publisher:
Daisy needs a mate. Orion needs a miracle and the Fates think they need each other.

According to her coven's genetics Daisy Blanchet must mate with her true love on her twenty-fifth birthday. She dreams of a husband and children, but there's an expiration date on her fertility without a decent man in sight. Living in Magic, New Mexico and selling spell laden decadent pastries in her bakery, she knows time is running out. Known in town as Bad-Date Daisy, she turns men into onocentaurs and sends them on their way. Only with Orion, her spells don't work.

Orion Krazolz from Tesceanus comes to earth searching for a witch from the Blanchet coven who he hopes is powerful enough to break a sleeping spell on his sister and save the kingdom. But he's going to find it difficult to convince any witch to return with him to his planet where all the witches were killed or fled years ago. Time is his enemy to save the kingdom and he's having a hard time convincing the delightful Daisy to return with him.

Will Daisy sacrifice her mating birthday to travel with Orion to Tesceanus to break the spell and still find her mate? Or could it be she's been searching in the wrong place for the man of her dreams.

Enjoy another adventure set in S.E. Smith's Magic, New Mexico!

TOUCH OF DECADENCE is the first book in the Magic Mirror series.  I believe they will each stand on their own.  This was originally part of a Kindle World for Miracle, NM.

I thought this was a cute witches and aliens Sleeping Beauty type of story.  Yes, I know that makes no sense at all.  Witches, aliens, and Sleeping Beauty don’t seem like they would go together at all do they?  The quirkiness of it all is what makes it so darn funny.

I enjoyed this book.  It was a delicious little farce – something completely different.  I couldn’t take a bit of it seriously – not the writing, the setting, or the characters.  So, if you’re ready to suspend every bit of reality and just be silly for a bit, dig in!

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
