Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan

I wasn't sure how I felt about this one going into it because I've enjoyed the author's books before but am not generally drawn to of books with supernatural elements. I kept putting off reading it and finally decided to read it around Halloween to see if my brain would be more into it, which it wasn't at first. But once I got down to the wire and made myself start reading I actually really enjoyed it! She's a curse breaker, he's an archeologist who thinks what she does is fake. They're hired to work at the same castle but before they know that or what each other does they meet, have a meal, and kiss. Then once they find out it's enemies (antagonists?) to lovers all the way. I thought their banter, their energy, and attraction were all very clear and well done. There were some spicy scenes but I've read spicier lately. I was surprised I got into the curse aspect of it all but it was more about ancient Scottish legend, the fae, etc. so I enjoyed myself and am even open to reading her next book when it comes out, which is supposed to have a more overtly supernatural situation going on.
