Book Review: Amulet (Heart's True Desire #1) by Kathryn Amurra

 Blurb: 

Intelligent, charismatic, and successful, Val Nikolov has achieved everything he’s ever wanted, thanks to a wish made on his grandmother’s magical amulet.

Alex Weaver, however, can’t seem to get her life in order. As a temp-agency lawyer helping Val’s company prepare to be acquired, Alex has no hope that she will ever land a full-time job as an attorney (or convince her boyfriend to marry her).

When one of Val’s key engineers abruptly departs, the acquisition is suddenly at risk. Hoping to salvage the deal, Val asks Alex to travel with him to Israel for a meeting with the decision-makers. The more time Val and Alex spend together, however, the more they question the things they thought were most important in their lives. Soon, they find themselves at a crossroads, having to choose between the lives they’ve always wished for and their hearts’ true desire.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This was an interesting story. I loved the idea of the amulet being passed down to those thought deserving but also the lesson that it might not be the true source of good luck. Val loved his grandmother and wanted to be a better person. His belief in the amulet helped fuel his acceptance. He was a very generous man and employer. He could read those around him and trusted them. Alex caught his attention and he felt that he might need more in his life. Not-so-good-luck followed her everywhere until working for Val's company. Together, they presented a strong front for his company. She was sweet and smart. I enjoyed this couple. I did feel that the story was a little too long with more detail than I felt necessary. Overall, though, a good story.

I received a copy through Quill and Ink Book Tours, and this is my unsolicited review.
