This was a departure from many of the awesome books I’ve read by this author, but I loved this fun, sweet story so much. The bisexual virgin baker whose love life has been cursed, the cute witch trying to please her grandmother by avoiding “mundanes” and trying to look for a witch mate, except they’re all a bunch of stuck up jerks, and then all of the ups and downs of a romance that shouldn’t be happening but fate seems to think otherwise. I loved both sets of friends and family in the little town of St. Claire, except maybe the controlling and manipulative grandma who loved causing trouble. The arrival of a witch hunter had me worried for a minute, but that went in a completely different direction than I expected. I loved the humor, including a lovelorn cat that keeps stalking Danica (who’s allergic), the interactions with Danica’s “bookclub” (cover for her coven), and Titus’s sister and her helpful assistance in furthering the romance. Since this is listed as book #1, I hope we get Danica’s cousin Clementine’s story next, I certainly can’t wait to read more about this delightful group of people and their little town.

My thanks to the author and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this next installment of the Covent Garden Cubs. It was a story of second chances that caused the hero and heroine to examine themselves and rethink their prejudices. Galen created some clever dialogue and made us root for the two to work things out. It's also a bit of a road trip and it was fun to see them interact in different environments. Our hero, Brook, was introduced in the previous series books and we were all anxious to find out more about him. Lila could have been unlikable, but Galen gave her a soft heart with which to overcome her past. A solid, well-written romance.

This is an honest review provided in exchange for the privilege of reading an ARC of the book.

LATE ARC REVIEW:
I enjoyed Sir Brook throughout the series. Lady Lila broke his heart years ago by dismissing his marriage proposal out of hand. She was a very spoiled lady. Now things have changed and Brook has to save her from a criminal lord and she has matured but the tension is very high!! It's a mixture of enemies to lovers and forced marriage and lots of suspense and intrigue.

A wonderful recency romance filled with adventure and intrigue.
