About this book
I craft joy-infused magic for a living, but my new vampire husband rules a kingdom that’s forgotten how to smile.
When my grandmother arranges my marriage to the vampire king to form a treaty, I expect a political alliance with a brooding stranger. I do not expect to marry Kieran, the man who kissed me breathless at a magical festival six years ago, then vanished without a trace.
Now he’s all formality and frowns, ruling a kingdom full of vampires who make funeral directors look festive. And while his court thinks I’ve bewitched him, the truth is far more complex. We might still have feelings for each other…
Then his advisors announce that we have thirty days to convince the court our marriage is real, or the fragile alliance between our people will shatter.
I should guard my heart. But when Kieran’s careful control slips and my magic flares under his touch, I start to suspect the real magic isn’t in my enchantments. Maybe there’s more to my vampire husband than meets the fang.
You May Now Bite the Bride is Book one in the Witchfully Wed Series, and is told in dual point of view. Expect a cozy fantasy world, spice, yearning, quirky side characters, a touch-her-and-die hero, a sweet yet strong FMC, a drake companion who can’t control his fire, a diva ghost, on-the-page heat, and a HEA.

What a delightful romance that I’m kicking myself for taking so long to finish. For some reason I thought it was going to be a stuffy old regency romance. I knew it was an Ava Ross romance so I should have known better! Cyrene and Kieran were absolutely adorable. She was hilarious, full of light and laughter while he was kind of dark and stodgy. But, their romance gave me all the feels and it was well worth the read. I loved it and am looking forward to the next book. )

Sweet story about 2nd chances when a meddling Grandmother intervened to arrange a wedding to bring 2 hearts back together. The story was well written, with an even flow, some steam, some magic, a drake familiar, low to med angst, and a HEA. There was a few times the magic felt over the top into YA but overall a sweet cozy read. )

Pure joy to read. Greatly woven story, interesting characters. Felt true even if the story unfolds in a magical world. )

I picked this after finishing a loved but darker series. It was just what I needed! If you’re looking for a meddling grandmother, joy witch with determination, and a romantic but lonely vampire, look no more. If you need something to give you a lift and be light enough to handle, then I offer you this book. Enjoy. )
