Step right up and meet Jay Fields: Illusionist. Mentalist. Trickster.
I think in triangles. You think in straight lines.
I show you a table and make you believe it’s a chair.
Smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand, misdirection. I trick and deceive.
But most of all, I put on a good show.
The world thinks I killed a man, but I didn’t. Bear with me. It’s all a part of the plan.
Revenge is what I want. I want it for me and I want it for her.
I want it for all six of us.
She doesn’t remember me, but she’s the reason for everything. She’ll be my prize at the end of all this – if I can hold onto my willpower, that is. Maybe I’ll slip up a little, have a taste, just a small one.
So go ahead and pick a card. Come inside and see the show. Look at my hands, look so closely that you can’t see what’s happening while you’re so focused on looking. I’ll be destroying your world from right here in the spotlight.
You’ll never see me coming until it’s too late.
I’ve only got one heart, and after I’ve pulled off my grand deception I’ll hand it right to her.
So, sit back, relax, and let my girl tell you our story. You’re in for one hell of a ride.

When famed illusionist Jay Fields walks into her father’s law practice, Matilda Brandon has a hard time keeping her heart from pounding. With a non-existent love life, she wonders if she could ever have a chance with a man this sexy and charismatic. She knows she’ll never meet someone like him on her online dating site, that’s for sure.
Jay wants to sue a newspaper, however, he leaves with a new landlord and a rather smitten housemate instead. As the two form a bond, Matilda finds herself becoming a part of Jay’s crazy world of illusion and mentalism, where underground magic shows, casino gambling and secret vendettas abound.
Jay has a dark history, and Matilda isn’t sure if she should open herself up to such an enigma of a man. Is he really who he claims to be? And why does he keep so many secrets?
She doesn’t know it yet, but they share a common past. Jay has set a plan in motion and whether she likes it or not, claiming her heart has always been his ultimate goal.
So I have been on a total book kick lately and have been LOVING every single book I have picked up and read. L.H. Cosway NEVER disappoints so I knew I was in for something pretty amazing when I began reading Six of Hearts. And let me tell you…this book was mesmerizing, suspenseful and magically romantic…I’m on a total book high right now and don’t want to come down!
So what’s it about??
Jay Fields is a master illusionist and he had my heart from the moment I met him as a child. The past shapes who you are and I knew deep down that Jay would seek revenge against the men who took away his childhood and his innocence. It’s pretty clear early on in the story who the characters are and the general direction of how this story will go but the execution was completely brilliant.
The friendship, the attraction, the chemistry and the flirty banter between Mathilda and Jay was a delight to experience. I felt it completely with them – the heart palpitations, the energy and the nervousness of what was to come had me completely in awe of these two characters.
I thoroughly enjoyed the tricks and the magic that Jay performed, completely adding another layer to this story and sucking me into this magical world that L.H. Cosway created. The mystifying suspense, intrigue and the romance itself was so beautifully done.
It’s hard to review a book when you want readers to experience it for themselves so I don’t want to say too much more other than you have to buy this book!
Revenge is not always so sweet but in this case it really was! This book reminds you of the magical miracle it is to be a kid again and to truly enjoy life. I was immersed so deeply into this epic love story that it was hard for me to finish this book because I didn’t want it to end!
Six of Hearts is a beautiful love story, something so different that has not been done before and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE! You will too….experience the magic of Jay Fields – you will not regret it!
