Thank you, Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for the gifted e-book! ❤️ #gifted. My review is comprised of my honest thoughts.

This was cute. I enjoyed it for the most part. I do feel like it was missing a bit of something. Maybe it needed more drama. It's a good light read.

sweet, warm and cozy fantasy romance (if cozy fantasy and romantasy had a child, actually!). Can be read without having read the preceding book and works as a standalone novel. I wanted a little bit higher stakes, all of the struggles resolved all too easily, but still a charming romance story. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the free advance copy.

Xavier and Ursula, I didn't know this was a follow-up so I will go back and read the first book! I love black Witches and black prince sign me up! I loved the characters surrounding Ursula and Xavier and felt like the community was real. Celeste does small town very well and it felt cozy the whole read.

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I've had the first book on my list for a little while but haven't had the chance to read it yet. I don't know if it's because I still need to read the first book but when I started this book I felt a little lost with the world this took place in. The rest of the book is 100% a standalone but it did make me even more interested in reading the first one.

Xavier is an adorable nerdy character and his relationship with Ursula is very sweet and adorable.

3.5 stars

This book was everything that I needed. I love Celeste books and this was not a disappointment at all. I wish I could read it again from the beginning for the first time I would definitely recommended and it was a great addition. I hope that she will put out more of these stories.

Really enjoyed this paranormal romance!
The cursed Prince is a favorite trope of mine, it's a trope right?
Love the witch, fae forbidden romance and how they met was sweet and funny.
This was definitely a sweet and cute read!
There was family dynamics within the witch community and the fae princes' family was causing some trouble.
Loved how this wrapped up and the slowburn romance between the two main characters.
This was such a cute town as well.

The perfect witchy romance! This was such a cozy and sweet romance. I couldn't recommend it more for your fall TBR!

Edit: I bumped my review from a 4 star to a 5 star because Celestine Martin in one of few authors who are writing BIPOC Romantasy books for adults. Most of these books are considered Young Adult and/'or are not considered Romance.

This was cutest little book. The burn was SLOWWW! I have never read a book with this concept of a Witch and a Fae Prince so I thought that was very interesting. I too did not realize this was the second book in the series but I didn't feel like I needed to read book 1. I didn't feel confused, I felt like it was easy to figure out things that I was unsure of. I would have loved more magic in the book though especially from the main characters. Also would have loved an Epilogue to let us know how their relationship turned out, if she applied for the job and how Xavier found work and living in the Grove. That being said this was a fun read.

Favorite Quote: "This kiss broke curses and saved princesses from towers. Kissing him felt hot and expectant, like volcanic lightning hitting the ground before her and electrifying everything. This. Was. It."

I am so happy that I read Witchful Thinking first before this read and it didnt disappoint. Are there any Fae men laying around here?? I am a sucker for a fairytale type of love and this might be one of my favorite fantasy reads. I didn't want it to end.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.75

After being stood up on the day of her wedding, Ursula has to rebuild her life. Not only does she have to deal with fallout from that debacle, and helpful serving of humble pie, she also has to reconcile with her family because of her previous atrocious behavior - something that occurred in the first book she was featured in. She feels her intuition is off, but sparks fly a little when she meets fey prince Xavier. He claims he’s living under a curse (it’s really an enchantment) that can only be lifted when he experiences the perfect kiss. Ursula offers to help him find that perfect person with whom he can share that special moment.

If you’re looking for an adorable, cozy romance, this is it! The town of Freya Grove is delightful. How special that magic folk and regular folk coexist harmoniously. If you read the first book, and didn’t like Ursula then, take heart that she does atone for her behavior. Xavier is as you expect, a suave gentleman who’s cynical about true love. And we all love when a cynic turns true believer!

I thought this was a pleasant read with both characters maturing, and opening their hearts and minds by the end. As I said, a romance to get cozy with when you need that vibe.

Many thanks to @readforeverpub for my gifted review copy in exchange for an honest review.

I am not usually a fan of witchy reads, but this one interested me. I liked the setting, the trouble with her craft, and of course the romantic interests. Working with Ursula to rediscover her belief in magic was a fun and light trip through Freya Grove.

Kiss and Spell was a cute, fairy tale-filled story about a witch and a fae prince. The fantasy and story book elements were adorable. Watching Ursula figure out who she truly wanted to be and Xavier realize that true love could exist and thrive was so sweet. There was a bit of a lull in the middle, but the second half picked back up and kept my interest. Overall, a fun read.

Kiss and Spell by Celestine Martin is the definition of warm & cozy with this witchy romance that is perfect for this time of year. It gives the best kind of whimsical vibes combined with small town along with family, growth, healing, spice, humor & so much love.

This is book #2 in the Elemental Love series, but it could be read as a standalone. Although, I highly recommend the entire series! I always love a growth/comeback moment for a wonderfully flawed, strong & lovely character & this has that.

Kiss and Spell is perfect for fans of…
✨ Paranormal Romance
✨ Whimsical Storybook
✨ Witch Meets Enchanted Fae Prince

I am completely enchanted by Celestine Martin’s writing & this wonderful world she has created where there’s all kinds of magic. This story simply feels like magic & a storybook romance brought to life. I’ve loved this entire series & I can’t wait to see where it goes next.

If you enjoy cozy, witchy romances with humor, heart & spice, I highly recommend reading Kiss & Spell as well as Witchful Thinking by Celestine Martin!

Massive thanks to NetGalley & Forever Publishing for the gifted copy, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

Due to terrible health around this publishing date, I apologize for posting this late. I am always grateful to be approved such incredible books & will be sharing this to social media this week.

Story wise, this still had the small town, magical vibe that made Witchful Thinking unique but it didn't quite flow or grab you in like Witchful thinking did. I think Lucy was easier to root for and I was immediately rooting for her & Alex to get together. That chemistry and passion was lacking just a taste here for me. I wasn't super invested on Ursula and Xavier getting together. However, once they did, I was intrigued enough to see it through. A respectable followup but not quite as Magical as the one before it.

A good read for spooky season, or anytime really. It's kind of enemies to lovers, opposites attract, it's cozy and charming and a good escape. The chemistry was palpable from the start. Ursula is still nursing a little bit of a broken heart and longs for more. Xavier is cursed and hoping to find the right person to help him break it. What they don't count on is falling for each other. Kiss and Spell is cute and magical.

Celestine Martín has done it again! Kiss and spell is a small-town romance between a fae Prince who is cursed and a witch who is trying to get her magical groove back. Ursula wants to make amends with her family, but only after she rediscovers/explores her magic, learn to make wishes again, all while giving up on the fairy tale ending she had dreamed for herself. Ursula needed time to rediscover herself. the first half of the book was slow, but things picked up in the second half. I hope there's a third book in this cozy romance series.

Please give me all the witchy romance books! I liked book 1 of this series, but I loved book 2! I'm not usually a redemption arc fan, but this book did it so well. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Thank you so much to Forever for giving me an advanced physical copy of this book at Steamy Lit Con. I'm sure I squealed when Dana took it out of her bag.

Also, this cover is one of my favorites this year. Did you see the ORANGE spine? Gorgeous.

I love this book. Any kind of witching romance is right up my alley. It was perfection. The cover is beautiful and really tells the story.

Im going to be totally honest here, I started this book back in August, it’s now December and I have no motivation to finish this.

I really just think it’s a case of this book not being right for me, not this being a bad book.

I received this book for free for an honest unbiased review from Netgalley.

I wish more books were this well written. Characters were witty and the setting fantastic.
