★★★★★ 4.75 Stars!

"Never try to out-trick a trickster."

Six of Hearts is the thrilling, captivating, suspenseful and steamy story of a successful illusionist's epic quest for revenge and true love. The intriguing blurb and the fact that the book was written the author of one of my favorite books of last year, were more than enough motivation for me to dive in to this book the minute it arrived on my Kindle. And once again, L.H Cosway did not disappoint. I immensely enjoyed reading this book and I was sad to reach the ending of Jay and Matilda's extraordinary tale.If you're going to read this book, it's best not too know too much about the storyline - aside form the blurb - and this dedication at the beginning of the story perfectly sums up the greater meaning behind the story and Jay's need for revenge.

"For the ones whose childhood was stolen. No matter your age, it's never too late to steal it back. Believe in the unbelievable, because this world we live in is magic."

Jay Fields is a 27 year old illusionist / mentalist / trickster extraordinaire whose charismatic and charming as sin character you can't help but fall for and swoon over the minute the walks in to a room (or starts calling you 'Darlin' in that sexy accent of his). He's one of the most complex, unique heros I've come across lately and his lengths he went through to accomplish his quest only

"When I look at you, my head clears. Most times there's a storm up in this brain of mine, but then you walk into a room and I can focus."

Matilda is a very likable heroine as well. She's sassy, sarcastic, has a great sense of humor and is easy to relate to. Her curiosity often led her into trouble but it also made her an exciting character and it made her POV all the more fun to read. I adored the banter between her and Jay and the easygoing friends-to-lovers relationship they built up throughout the story.

"I might tell you that you're mine, but you need to understand that it goes both ways. I belong to you, too."

All in all, Six of Hearts is a love story - and one of epic proportions as well as a mystery type of read that will keep you guessing until the very end. It's one of the most refreshing reads I've read lately and one that will definitely stay with me for a long time. L.H. Cosway never ceases to amaze me with her knack for originality and her fluent way of storytelling that keeps you glued to the pages throughout the entire book.If you're looking for a unique, surprising, epically romantic read, I would highly recommend giving this one a try!

"So why not live with the magic? Be a kid again and believe in the fantastical. Life is more fun with a little smoke and mirrors."
