**I would like to thank NetGalley, Atria Books, and Laura Wood for an ARC of this book! This is available as of 6/25/2024.**

For the six-books-a-week, just-one-more-page, trope-loving, library-card-owning, smutty-audio-book-in-public-listening, HEA-chasing dreamers. This is a love letter.


This book was so dang good and was absolutely a 5 star read.

Some reviews talk about too many tropes being used but I ATE. IT. UP. This is the perfect example of tropes written RIGHT
- he took care of her when she was sick
- forced proximity
- mistaken identity
- rockstar
- one night stand
- friends to lovers
- cinnamon roll mmc
- slow burn
- sister dynamic
- found family
- he falls first

I was kicking my feet and giggling the whole time.

I loved the growth Clemmy had from the start to finish. She started off as a 33 year old who was just laid off and dumped by her cheating boyfriend, subsequently having to move out of their shared space AND to top it all off, she has to go to a funeral. But don't worry, things start to take a turn when our sweet Clemmy meets Theo. Theo has his own issues but they had the best communication.

I struggled with whether to read this as fast as possible cause I couldn't stop or try to slow down to stretch out how amazing it was. But let's be real, i had zero self control and binged it.

"I've never made plans with anyone before but you make me want to buy a five-year-diary just so I can write your name on every page."


This was as much a love story between Theo and Clemmy as it was between Clemmy and her sisters. I don't have sisters so I loved reading about their relationships, as dysfunctional as they were. The found family aspect was amazing and heart warming, truly showing how big the heart can be for those around you. These girls were ride or die for each other.

"To the Weird Sisters. Sisters, soul mates, best friends."


If you choose to listen to the audiobook, it was amazing! Ellie Heydon is a new-to-me narrator that I will definitely revisit.

I really enjoyed this book! It was an engaging read from start to finish, and I found it incredibly accessible. The writing was easy to follow, and I appreciated how the story kept me hooked without feeling overwhelming. Overall, it was a great experience, and I definitely recommend it!

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of Under Your Spell by Laura Wood!

The romances of 2024 were some really top tier books and this one is definitely on the list! Clementine is not having a good day when she not only loses her job, but also gets dumped by her ex who was cheating on her. When her sisters revive their childhood breakup spell, she joins in as a way to feel better about her circumstances. But now she finds herself with a new job, spending six weeks with rock star Theo in order to help him write his new album. As they spend the summer together, sparks fly and Clementine has to deal with the fact that she's sworn off rock stars especially after having to deal with her own famous rock star dad.

I loved Clementine and Theo's relationship. The was their romance develops has me smiling the whole time and of course I liked the spice as well. Their relationship development also has so much emotion and I think part of that is both Clementine and Theo are such well rounded characters. I also really loved the dynamic Clementine has with her sisters and all of their mothers, all of them being dealing with the famous rock star dad. There are some laugh out loud parts in this book too and I think the balance of romance and comedy is done so well. I really liked this book and I would definitely recommend it to romcom fans! I'm looking forward to reading more from Laura Wood.

I should have personally known that I wouldn't have loved this book when I read the reviews from Emily Henry and Christina Lauren, I know people really like their books but they are just too corny for me. I just don't think I like romcoms. I am happy there was no miscommunication trope and no 3rd act breakup, but I just feel like the book could've been easily 100 pages shorter and the message and point would've been made. Overall it kept me engaged to finish the book at least.

Thank you Atria for my copy. I LOVED this book! The chemistry between the main characters was off the charts and I loved their tender, sweet, funny romance. I also loved the side characters as well as the plot.

3.5 stars

This book was everything I hoped and could want in a rom com, and I loved the witchy element. I do feel like this one felt a bit like a train off the rails at points which took me out of the story but overall, I enjoyed it!

Wonderful story, great character development, great writing! Highly recommend this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Clementine Monroe has just been dumped by her cheating ex and her sisters have just the idea of how to help her feel better. They're going to cast a spell on him like they've done in the past. Things are not going so good for Clemmie because not only has she just been dumped but she's also about to lose her job. So one of her sisters has just given her an offer she can't resist only it involves the most famous of rock stars. You can only imagine how this plays out!

I enjoyed this book so much! I seriously laughed out loud in so many parts and also shed a few tears. I loved the dynamic of the sisters with their moms as well as the relationship forged between Clementine and Theo. What an incredible rock star romance Laura Wood has written!

Perfect for readers wanting a Hallmark romance with witchy vibes. I love the name Clementine, and Theo was a sweetheart.

Oh what a book, what a title and what a cover! Grabbed my attention long before even picking it up to read. Clemmie and her sisters were fun to get to know and the whole story was just lovely! A great book!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
I read this one early in 2024 and I really enjoyed it. The writing was well done, with realistic and laugh out loud dialogue. There were heavier topics throughout as the characters navigated through past trauma. Overall, it was a solid read for me this past year.

This was a unique and fun fall read that had me hooked from the start. I loved the main character, Clementine’s family dynamic and close relationship with her sisters. However, I had a hard time staying invested in the story after the first part of the story. I think that a lot of romance readers will love this story and the characters, but it wasn’t for me.

This was simply enchanting. This story was so sweet and wonderfully written. Clemmie is such a relatable character and Theo is so obsessed with her, it’s adorable. I loved the relationship between Clemmie and her sisters Lil and Serena. The witchy vibes were subtle and I kind of loved it that way.

This was a take or leave it sorry for me. Nothing really happened and it was super predictable which for this book it didn't really work out. The story itself was fine but it just wasn't what I would call exciting. The characters were fine as well but nothing really over the top. Overall, this was just mediocre.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Quick Summary: More than a rock star romance

My Review: Under Your Spell by Laura Wood is a 2024 women's fiction romance.

About the Book: "She only wants three things. He isn't one of them..."

Talk about an implosion of circumstances and that would just about sum up what has happened in the life of Clementine Monroe. When enough became enough, she took an explosive chance with a stranger. Who knew that the stranger would end up becoming her new boss.

My Final Say: Oh my darn! This little gem was fantastic. Can I get the audio like yesterday?! I loved it. Clemmie and Not Edward were so intense. (See what I did there?) I could feel the tension coming off the pages with these two. Their interactions were sweet and hot and curious and revealing and...

At the heart of the story, there were a few themes. Family was huge. Learning to live beyond betrayal and neglect was big. Seeking help from emotional/mental challenges was prominent. Finding love in unexpected places was present. Becoming more, beyond the struggles of life was in there. Reconciling the personhood of self with the true self was noted. It was a heaping helping of love and growth lessons.

Other: Readers who are looking for a heart and soul read with a touch of heat and a portion of harmonious partnering will really enjoy this novel.

Thank you to the author, to the publisher (Atria Books), and to NetGalley. It was a pleasure to read this novel. I appreciate the opportunity to review a digital ARC of this work in exchange for an honest critique. I look forward to reading more from this writer.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I loved the premise and the sisters. I think Theo was a little too into his and her feelings for my taste. But he was a good MMC. I would have loved a couple chapters from his POV.

This was cute and fun and light. A much needed reprieve from recent current events. Clemmie and her sisters are delightful and quirky; Theo's a romance novel dreamboat; and the setting is atmospheric and filled with as much character as Clemmie and Theo and the rest of Clemmie's unconventional family, Thanks to NetGalley for the early copy - I am just sorry I waited so long to read it.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to arc read this novel!

Under your spell was a light enjoyable read where the daughter of a rock stars catches herself falling for a celebrity after promising herself that she would never go down that path.
