Let me just say Fae prince’s always do it for me and Xavier did not disappoint. Ursula staying in that town after what happened in book 1 is the bravest thing ever. I didn’t really like her in the previous book but she redeemed herself for me. I have mixed feelings about this series because it’s advertised as this heavy magic world with all these mythical creatures but we rarely if ever see the characters actually using magic. Majority of the time they just talk about what they can do and just forget about it for the rest of the time. If the magic was taken out the story, it would still dead the same and to me that’s an issue. I will be continuing the series because I’m plot committed now and need to know what happens to the rest of the Caraway family. Very enjoyable.

After being left at the altar, Ursula needs something to believe in.
After being enchanted, Prince Xavier must find a perfect kiss.

The story takes place in a fantastical town full of magic.

It's giving Little Mermaid "Kiss the Girl" vibes.

This is definitely an "everyone sees it but them" story.

A nice book to cuddle up with a warm blanket and tea.

This book is everything! I didn’t realize it was a part of a series so I definitely need to go back and read the first. I love a good witchy romance and this one checked all my boxes! Highly recommend as a cozy fall read so you can love these characters as much as I did!

Kiss and Spell is the second in a series but I didn't feel I missed anything important by not reading the first book. It is a supernatural romance between a witch and a fae prince who has been enchanted. Both characters are dealing with past issues but find each other, first as friends, then as lovers. I felt that the setting was not fully fleshed out as a magical New Jersey seaside town. Though magic is mentioned a great deal, the reader does not see a lot of magic actually done. I've read books in this subgenre that I thought were better executed than this. But it was still an enjoyable read and I liked the main characters. I would recommend this to readers who enjoy the magical romance genre.

Kiss and Spell by Celestine Martin is an entertaining contemporary romance that I enjoyed. It is the second book in the Elemental Love series.

This is a nice series that has the enjoyable elements of the paranormal threading throughout.

I enjoyed the first book, Witchful Thinking, so I of course wanted to read the spinoff book featuring Ursula. The connection, interactions, and chemistry between Ursula and Xavier made this book fun and before I knew it, I was done in no time.

Hopefully this series will continue.

4/5 stars

Thank you NG and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for this wonderful arc and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

I am posting this review to my GR and Bookbub accounts immediately and will post it to my Amazon, Instagram, and B&N accounts upon publication on 9/26/23.

I loved the 1st book that follows the Caraway cousins through the small magical town of Freya Grove. This one was about Ursula who we find out was stood up at her own wedding. Ursula left a bad taste in my mouth in the first book (witchful thinking) so I was glad to give her character a 2nd chance in Kiss and Spell. I especially love the magical realism and modern day witchy feels this read gives you.
