This was the easiest fall themed book to get into in preparation for all my fall plans. It was so quick and beautiful that it made getting into the world super easy.

It did however, have an aspect that made me think there was something missing for most of the story but yet I couldn't put my finger on it. Either way, this is a great read to kick of any fall or halloween season if you need one.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kate Callaghan, I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Actual rating 3.5 stars.

This book was a slow start but I stuck with it as I love the author and I know what a story teller she can be. Once the story got started the enemies to lovers element really fleshed out I was gripped.
I enjoyed the pacing, the characters and the plot.

This was another enjoyable read that I highly recommend to fans of the author. I received an arc of this book and exchange for an honest review by NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own

This is a captivating read for fans of magical romance, witches, and slow-burning, enemies-to-lovers tales, who will be swept away by the enchanting world of Foxford and the tantalizing dance between Lucinda and Benedict's forbidden attraction.

Loved this book I listen to the audio and hats off to the narrators was amazing listen kept me gripped the whole way through just enough magic and romance

Absolutely worth reading!

Lucinda Hawthorne and Benedict Matherson would rather anything to working together, but as the classic twist in a small town goes they end up being bound together in a ritual to save their coven.

Through mischief and plots, these two definitely start to feel the magic of their desire - in equal measure for themselves and to the coven.

This is a adult paranormal romance with spicy scenes set in a magical small town which makes it a lovely autumn read.

Thank you to the author, Kate Callaghan and MetGalley for a free copy in exchange for a review.

If you're a fan of cozy mysteries/fantasy/romance, you'll probably like this one. While it's not a mystery, there is a situation that the two main characters have to fix, with or without working together. I was really happy they decided to work together. It follows the enemies to lovers trope, but I feel that the "enemies" part was probably overstated, which I was happy about because it meant I really liked both of them and was rooting for them even early on. It was more accurately a rival with pranks that often got out of hand, and mostly stemmed from misunderstandings rather than ill-intent. I enjoyed the banter not just between the two of them, but also between friends and family. While this was a long book that I had to read whenever I had the chance, I always looked forward to getting back to it. It was one of those books I could have curled up with next to a fireplace and a cup of something warm. I don't know if there will be more books in this village, but if so, I would be up for it! In the meantime, I will be on the lookout for other books by the author.

Loved this book
Enjoyed the character and the world building
Struggled to put this book down

Highly recommend

Such a fun autumn read. I loved Lucinda and Benedict story and cannot wait for more. Witches and magic and a hotel run by a vampire . Perfect Halloween read! I don’t think it was an enemies to lovers story. Just a fun light paranormal romance

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me entertained...I loved the world building and the characters. Enemies to Lovers, Small Town, Witchy what more can I ask for? I must say I do love spells gone wrong sometimes...Enjoy this book was delightful and I had a great time reading it. Thanks so much to the author, Kate Callaghan.

A cute, cosy romance filled with witchy magic. The perfect Autumnal read. The characters were hilarious and the town was submlime.

This book was the perfect blend of witchy romcom and mystery. I found the plot and the story arc to fit wonderfully with the MCs. I enjoyed the way the author built up the MCs bond and the awkward moments between them as the fell for each other. I also loved the magical world she developed.

I wanted to like this book. I loved the premise of it. I like a good witchy cozy romance. I’ve enjoyed other books by this author. This one fell flat for me.

This book reminded me of something out of Halloweentown. The high priestess is about to retire and instead of announcing her daughter, Lucinda, for recession, there’s another candidate. Lucinda’s childhood enemy, Benedict. They navigate how they will run this town together and their feelings for each other.

I expected more drama out of some of the other characters. Based on how they were written I feel like there were a lot of unfinished storylines.

Absolutely LOVED this and I just need more from this world that the author has built. The magic, the pining, everything!

A good witchy cosy fantasy: likeable characters, good romance, interesting world building
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A whimsical, cozy, cute paranormal small-town fall romance. Accessible writing, consistent pacing, a quirky set of characters, and a fun blend of magic and romance. Overall, this was a fun time!

Thank you to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial, and Kate Callaghan for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was such a fun read! The story whisks you away to the magical town of Foxford, where Lucinda Hawthorne is set to become the next High Priestess—until her lifelong rival, Benedict Matherson, throws a wrench in her plans. A family spell gone wrong forces them into a magical binding on All Hallows' Eve, and their enemies-to-lovers journey is packed with witty banter and sizzling chemistry. If you're into witchy vibes, small-town magic, and a dash of spicy romance, this book is definitely worth checking out!

Four star read for Potions and Proposals!

This book was a super cute and cozy witchy romance. It’s perfect for fall and has a great small-town setting. The grumpy witch and sunny rival have a sweet romance. I wish there were more pranks or tension before they fell for each other. Overall, it’s a fun and charming read. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cute story!

Review of Potions and Proposals by Kate Callaghan – 3.5 stars

Potions and Proposals by Kate Callaghan offers a fun, lighthearted read filled with magical mishaps and charming characters. The story centers on Lucy and Benedict, whose rivalry has escalated into a series of increasingly outrageous pranks. Their antics take a serious turn when their coven, fed up with the chaos, decides the best solution is a binding ceremony, forcing the two to cooperate or face being outcasted.

The chemistry between Lucy and Benedict is electric, and their banter had me giggling throughout. The progression from rivalry to reluctant teamwork was engaging, even if the plot sometimes felt a little predictable. It’s a perfect fall read, offering a cozy mix of magic, humor, and a touch of romance.

Overall, Potions and Proposals is a delightful escape for anyone looking for a charming, quick read with a magical twist. While I wished for a bit more depth in character development, the playful tone kept me entertained from start to finish.

I just love when a book about witches actually has magic! I know that is something very silly to get excited about, but it is shocking how many witch books have no magic.

This was a very cute witchy romance book that isn’t a long drawn out love/hate relationship! The characters and their development were so great too!

I will definitely be reading more of Kate Callaghan’s books!

Thanks NetGalley and publisher for the digital copy in exchange for my honest review!
