AN AMAZON EDITORS’ PICK: BEST BOOK OF THE MONTH IN ROMANCE

Love is a hex of a thing. Former childhood sweethearts fake a relationship in this charming, witchy romcom.

There’s nothing wrong with being a wallflower. Not to Emmaline Bluewater, anyway. Emma may have been born into witch society, but her days of trying to fit in where she doesn’t belong are over—they ended seven years ago, when the man she’d hoped to marry left town without a word. She’s much happier now, living a delightfully mundane human life in Chicago and running her bar, Toil and Trouble.

Until Bastian Truenote walks through the door and announces that he wants her back.

Bastian had his reasons for leaving—even if he can’t tell Emma what they are. Now, to win Emma’s heart, he’s got to face down an adorably goofy dog familiar, a best friend who’s all too eager to hit him with a carefully aimed hex, and a woman who’s far from the meek witch he remembers.

Magical contracts aren’t easily broken, but as far as Emma’s concerned, not even a marriage of convenience will have her falling under Bastian’s spell again…

First - why are so many witch moms ... straight up WITCHES? Secondly - I absolutely loved how this story developed, the mix of childhood history with self-discovery as older adults, the banter, the tension, the steam - top notch! The author really wove a beautiful story about having the freedom to choose, how important it is to choose your family (related by blood or otherwise), chase your dreams, and find out who you are on purpose, and find your voice. I absolutely LOVED Emma and Bastian's...

This is a cute second chance romance. I had a hard time liking the hero which made it hard for me to get into the story. )

3.5 ⭐️/5 2.0🌶️/5 This is a magical world where in one moment you can sip a pint of beer at a bar in Chicago and in the next open a portal to step into an archeological dig site in Egypt, or a stuffy society party in New Orleans. Emmaline Bluewater, born into witch high society, grew up always struggling to overcome shyness and please her SUPER verbal, magically abusive crap mother. Witch high society marriages were not about love matches but merging powerful families, and as a child she was...

Cute romance with surprising twists

Well-written, good pacing, and decent characterization. The best part was that although it is a typical fantasy romance with the standard tropes, there are a few minor plot twists that are unexpected. I'm looking forward the second book. There are some definite hints here of the future couples the rest of the series will be following. My money is on Tia and the gentleman she clashed with at the party. )
