HOPE REMAINS
All Pandemina Dorothy Avery ever wanted was to be beautifully, blessedly normal, with a stable career and a love life leading to a white picket fence and a happily-ever-after. That seems impossible now. Penniless and parted from her unfaithful boyfriend, unfairly shunned by her coworkers, not even Mina's recent inheritance can help -- especially not when it amounts to a ten-pound rock box and guardianship of the horny, devious puca she released from inside. His name's Riordan, and he ain't no Harvey.
What's a puca, you ask? A tricky faery-type, whose magic not only includes shape-shifting into a magnificent black stallion and a snarky mutt, but the ability to manipulate human perceptions. And Riordan is hardly shy of manipulations: Wasn't that why he was imprisoned in the first place? He seems set upon making Mina's life harder than ever, whether it be with Jonathon Teague, the handsome contractor who wants to work on more than her house, or Mina's penitent ex-boyfriend. But as Riordan's very existence proves, things are not always what they seem, and what stepped out of that box might be the key to her dreams.

Reviews
- Romantic Times BOOKreview:
"Vengeance is served very cold in this fresh and distinctive tale, a story in which magic and the modern world collide. Romance and snarky wit are a fun mix, and Stenzel definitely delivers both!"
- Romance Reviews Today:
"PANDORA'S BOX is guaranteed to make you chuckle; it also has a heartwarming effect. By the middle, you will have no idea how the author can make everything come out right for all involved, yet Ms. Stenzel pulls it off beautifully. Best of all, there are a couple of sequels in the works. One will be called THE DRUID MADE ME DO IT, coming in August. Get in on the fun; go ahead and open PANDORA'S BOX."
- Romance Reader at Heart:
"Stenzel creates characters that are witty, strong, lovable and, oh, so sexy! As the plot raced from point to point, it was funny, romantic, suspenseful, and sweet with a dose of bittersweet to evoke a few of my tears. What a whirlwind! I wholeheartedly recommend PANDORA'S BOX to any reader of the comically paranormal romance genre."
