A Journey Through Curses and Crime: Reviewing “Too Cursed to Kiss” by J. Morgan White

She just wanted a quick payday. 
Instead, she’s framed for murder, marked by a deadly ring… and abducted by a six-foot-six lying healer whose eyes glow in the dark.

Harlan Madson doesn’t need complications. After clawing her way out of a life of crime, she grabs one last lucrative gig from her sketchy ex—and walks straight into a setup.

The job ends with her ex dead, the murder weapon in her hands, and a poison searing through her veins. Enter Waldemar Forndaur: aggravatingly hot, suspiciously powerful, and who can’t touch her without setting off a death curse.
He saves her life, then ruins it with a single truth—she wore the ring. And now the hunters are coming.

Chased by ruthless reality-warping monsters and haunted by secrets, Harlan and Wald must survive long enough to clear her name, reverse the curse, and maybe, finally, figure out what the hell is going on between them.

Because rewriting time doesn’t just change the future. It rewrites who you are.

And some kisses really are to die for.

Dark, romantic, and twisted with shadow-soaked magic, Too Cursed to Kiss is a genre-bending urban fantasy romance packed with wicked humor, scorching chemistry, and a heroine who claws her way to power one mistake at a time.

Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Karen Marie Moning, J.R. Ward, and the kind of stories that bite when you kiss them.

Spoilers Ahead

🖤We meet Harlan Madson, our feisty FMC who doesn’t take anyone’s shit. Stands up for herself, asking questions when others would look the other way. Maybe that’s how she ended up as a suspect in her ex’s murder. I loved Harlan, we both have that “fuck off what do you want” attitude. Only defence is she can hold her own at 5’11, while I’m here looking like I could still go trick or treating and no one would now that I’m actually almost 30 🤣

with the life that she lived. I get why it would be hard to trust someone. Living a life of crime-even if she did climb her way out-it has a way of coming back. Back in the grasp of the life she left behind, hating every second of waiting in this grumpy club, hoping for this to end. She finds herself in the hands of Waldemar Forndaur.

🕶️Wald to me has the body of Jason Momoa mixed in with the style of John Lennon. with has probably the most interesting curse I’ve read about and how he got the curse on him in the first place. Yes, he is too cursed to kiss but it’s not just kissing, he can’t touch her at all. His family is fcking nuts, so many different strings and relationships. Take notes. I also loved the magic that he and his family have, each one a little different. 

✒️From murder to mystery with a slow burn romance. A race against monsters, and when reality twists, curses drain, with every page the stakes get higher – who do you hang onto when the one you want can’t be touched at all?

Favorite Scenes 

He paused, his bottom lip twitched “Jealously is unexpected. Enduring.”

“Arrogant much? I’d have to not despise the ground you walk on first.”

“I wasn’t aware I had a type. What would it be?” His voice had lowered in a blend of predator and sex god. He was so close

Squaring my shoulders, I stood my ground. “You know, blonde and petite, weighs about a buck ten, and has delicate parts. You like dresses and PINK.”

I feel everyone (manly females in my opinion) have had a terrible relationship with their body because of the media. We automatically assume a man or anyone we would be attracted to would never like the bigger girl.

Breaking the kiss, I tugged Wald up the stairs. “Come with me. I have things to do to you.”

“Are you reading my mind now?” Wald replied with that raw edge voice tremoring through me as he captured my lips again.
