NEW ORLEANS MAGIC SERIAL

After a murder at a voodoo ceremony in a charming New Orleans bistro, three street cops, Jordan O’Reilly, Liam O’Reilly, and Zachary Doucet, have a personal stake in solving the case. But if they meddle in the investigation, they may get thrown off the force—or worse.

Part 1: Jordan

Jordan O'Reilly is first to take the heat. While moonlighting with a security company, he’s assigned to protect Camille DuPree, the restaurant owner. Six years ago, he and Camille were in love, and each thinks the other broke it off. Now they’re thrown back together and must cope with their shattered relationship as well as the murder investigation and an ugly voodoo charm that shows up on Camille’s doorstep.

New Orleans Magic: Jordan…Liam…Zachary…each of these compelling stories ends with an HEA for the hero and heroine. But only the full set will finally get to the bottom of the murder mystery. Be sure to read them all!

EXCERPT:

After her interrogation by the Police Detective Yancy, Camille realized that Jordan was studying her carefully. “You’re exhausted. Let me give you a ride home,” he said.

She pulled herself up straighter, determined not to let old feelings lull her into making any mistakes. Marching down the steps, she headed toward the street. “I’ll get a cab.”

He caught up with her and steered her toward the parking lot. “The hell you will!”

He’d been polite and professional up till that moment. Suddenly his words and the tone of his voice reminded her of another facet of the old Jordan O’Reilly.

He’d been angry about a lot of things back when they were in high school. He was angry now. Still, when he turned her toward him, she didn’t resist. She was shaky from the mean-spirited grilling Yancy had given her. Shakier still from the close contact with Jordan, from the immediacy of this man looming over her in the early-morning darkness.

When they were teenagers, she hadn’t known what to expect from Jordan O’Reilly. He could change from cold to hot in the blink of an eye. She saw that in his face tonight. There was a charged moment when his green eyes bored into her blue ones, and she knew for certain that whatever had sparked between them all those years ago hadn’t gone away. The knowledge gave her a jolt of satisfaction.

Still, he was older now. More controlled. Maybe he was silently asking her to tell him no. But that one simple syllable was beyond her power. Not when he was so close, so vital.

In unconscious invitation, she tipped her head to a more convenient angle, her lips parted.

She heard him swear. Heard him mutter something she didn’t quite catch. Perhaps it was I’ve been wanting to do this all evening.

Or was that only what she wanted to hear?

As if the voodoo gods had brought her soul mate back to her on this fateful night, he lowered his head to hers. The first mouth-to-mouth contact was like a jolt of electricity, two opposite forces clashing, then merging, settling. Coming to terms.

It had been six years since she’d felt such a surge. Yet those six years were now wiped away as though they’d never existed. She knew only the heady taste of him, the taste of raw maleness and potency and hunger. She felt the strength of his arms, the heat of his body as he gathered her in.

What's a restaurant owner to do, when crime discourages patrons from visiting her place? Muggings in the area have cut into Camille DuPree's formerly successful French Quarter restaurant business. To attract clients, particularly tourists, and keep her standbys, she agrees to open the venue for Thursday night Voodoo ceremonies.. But she gets more than she bargained for when a patron is murdered in the middle of the proceedings.

Camille has no choice she has to prove she had nothing to do with the killing. She gets help from Jordan O'Reilly, a New Orleans cop moonlighting as a security guard at the restaurant. But things get personal; Jordan and Camille have a history. Each thinks the other broke off their former relationship. Now solving the murder may pay an unexpected dividend and bring them back together. But they must contend with evil voodoo charms and a police detective who would like to prove they're guilty of the murder. Even more pressing than proving Camille's innocence...can Jordan save Camille as the real villain closes in on her?

Rebecca York's fans will not be disappointed. A fast-paced thriller with a tasty side dish of romance!

Great Book 1 in the New Orleans Magic serial

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018

This was such an exciting, fast paced book on so many levels. I loved this second chance story about street cop Jordan O'Reilly and Camille DuPree, owner of the restaurant where voodoo and murder made their mark. The set up for the entire New Orleans Magic serial was well done, and kept me wondering who would be next to meet their fate. Plus Jordan and Camille made a great couple trying to cope with lies from the past as they come together once again.

Not a good start of a trilogy

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2017

Jordan is the first book of New Orleans Magic trilogy, a trilogy written by three different authors with their own characteristics: Rebecca York, Ann Voss Peterson, and Patricia Rosemoor (in that order, always). There are some trilogies written by these authors, and New Orleans Magic was my second trilogy from them (well, the third I have, but the second I read).

Honestly, I was quite disappointed with the book. Not the book really, more of the characters. The mystery was quite intriguing, clearly unsolved, and set up stage for the next book. The voodoo magic was a great touch. However, the main characters, Jordan and Camille, were so one-dimensional. I really couldn’t connect with them, I didn’t invest in them, basically I just couldn’t care about them. Their love story was so cheesy and immature, even six years later when they’re supposedly grew up. As this trilogy categorised as Paranormal-Romance-Suspense, the failing in Romance part was really disturbing my reading experience.

I hope the second book will be better.

I was provided a complementary copy by the author / publisher through NetGalley, but this in no way influenced my thoughts or opinions.
