Excerpt
Preface
“What have you done?”
His mother’s frantic scream didn’t seem to faze him as he watched the EMTs compress his brother’s arm
and place him in the ambulance. Her tears streamed down her face as she grabbed her purse to follow the
ambulance.
“Tristen, you promised I wouldn’t feel a thing!” Thomas, Tristen’s brother, hollered threw tears as the
ambulance door shut.
“Stay here! We will discuss this when I get back!” She glared down on him as she headed toward the door.
The pool of blood lay at his feet. He still couldn’t fathom what the commotion was about. Hypnotism, yep.
Need more practice.

Tristen woke up in a cold sweat. It was a dream. He felt something warm at his side and saw the blonde
bimbo he had picked up after the show tonight. He threw the covers off and headed to the open balcony.
The night was warm, heat radiating off the sand. The six thousand square foot home sat on the edge of Las
Vegas, secluded, just the way he liked it. He looked out past the Olympic size pool, past the tennis courts,
and saw some critter scamper across the desert floor. The sun was just coming up in the distance. Pink,
yellow and blue streaked the sky as light began to invade the darkness. He loved sunrise. It chased the
nightmares away.
He heard a moan behind him. Blondie rolled over and noticed a cold spot. She pulled the covers up. He
barely remembered bringing her home. He really needed to stop that. He was turning forty-five and he
wanted to have some semblance of a home. He was finally ready to have a special someone, to travel with,
to see every night, and mom wanted grandchildren, her own grandchildren. Charity work involving child
organizations wasn’t enough for her either. Time to grow up.
He threw some clothes on and slapped the sleeping lump on the ass.
“Get up! It’s time to go home!” He hollered a bit louder than he planned.
She jumped up to a sitting position, breathing deeply. The bedcovers falling to expose her rather large
breasts. Damn, he had good taste!
He tossed her clothes at her.
“Get dressed. You need to go!
Professional Reviews
Abracadabra
Incantation is Linda's second book and it is even better than her first!!!! The characters are "real" and believable so the story keeps you engaged throughout. You think the story line is moving in a certain direction and "presto" you're off in another direction. Christina is sassy, and Tristen is oh so suave but a bit of a prima donna and Christina doesn't hesitate to put him in his place. The story's love scenes are tastefully done and leave some things to the imagination. This story will not disappoint!!!!
You never know where unexpected love will find you
I don't usually choose a romance for my reading as the story lines can be predictable. Author Linda Bolton certainly changed my preconceived notions about romances. The book is an exciting look into the backstage life of a magician. The characters are original and interesting. Watch out! You never know where unexpected love will find you. I think I will read Take 2 and look forward to her next project with anticipation.
an excellent read
After reading Ms Bolton's debut book, Take 2, I looked forward to her second. It did not disappoint!! The characters are descrIbed in vivid detail, as are their actions. There are twists and turns throughout, so when you think you know what is about to happen - nope - surprise!! It is very well-written and entertaining, as well. Bolton certainly has a great way of telling a story and I look forward to reading her next endeavor. Read it - you will not be disappointed!!
