About this ebook

A kitchen witch with a penchant for baking and a (literally) cursed love life meets someone who’s worth breaking a hex for in this enchanting romance debut written with a heap of spice and an equal measure of heart.

“A spicy, spellbinding debut that is as swoony as it is sweet, this book is a cottagecore rom-com of magical proportions.”—Lana Ferguson, author of The Nanny

“Pure magic.”—Jenna Levine, author of My Roommate Is a Vampire

“A cozy delight!”—Lyla Sage, author of Done and Dusted


As a skilled kitchen witch, Dina Whitlock knows her way around a pastry recipe. In fact, she runs her very own London café, serving magic-infused treats to her loyal customers. She is not as much of an expert on romance, thanks to the hex hanging over her head. It’s hard to fall in love when your partner is cursed with a string of bad luck. But who needs love when your best friend is getting married, right?

Scott Mason has returned from global travels thrilled to embark on his new role as a curator at the British Museum. Having left London two years ago to recover from a devastating breakup, Scott has missed out on a lot. With his best friend’s wedding approaching, and Scott as best man, this is his chance to make up for lost time. Little does he expect to be enchanted by the magical maid of honor.

During a romantic weekend filled with a peculiar hedge maze, palm readings by candlelight, and a midnight Halloween ritual, there’s no denying the chemistry between them. But the hex still holds, and Dina knows that Scott is in danger of more than just bad luck—because she’s falling, hard. Will Dina be able to undo the hex before it’s too late?

The synopsis for this book sounded terrific: a hexed witch falls in love but the hex means that the one she loves is doomed. It is a cute story but, to me, had more spicy scenes than needed. If you crave and are a devotee of spiciness, you will be delighted with this book. I just felt it detoured too much from the story. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a wonderful Story. The world building is just so beautiful. I loved all the little details. How everything is not perfect and human flaw still exist. The characters are so vivid and very vibrant. I loved them. Such self reflection and humanity that causes the real issue not what you would expect. The plot was a joyful ride with just the right amount of twists. Martin made me laugh. I highly recommend this book. It is a great touching belly laughing romance.
