Witch Please is a great romance with the added benefit of having a witch as one of the main characters. The chemistry between Titus and Danica was off the charts. So hot. The plot was ok at the start, but got much better as the book went on, although the end left some things hanging. All in all, it was a great read.

This was such a fun read. There's a witch who owns and appliance repair shop and a guy who owns a bakery. Oh did I mention the guy is a virgin who's apparently cursed in love?

This is one that keeps on giving. Danica and Titus are amazing together. I was rooting for them from the beginning. Their main obstacle is her grandmother who insists she marry a full witch like herself.

Titus however has his own baggage and issues he has to work through in order to figure things out with Danica. This couple really has to work at things and I loved their internal dialogue as they worked through stuff.

I can't wait for the next one in this series to see where the story is going.

Witch Please
Ann Aguirre
Danica and Titus
Witch Danica and her cousin own a repair shop- not that they have to use tools. They use magic. Titus owns a bakery where Danica gets her cinnamon rolls for the book club/coven meeting. When Titus’ oven breaks down Danica comes to the rescue. Fixing his oven leads to starting a texting flirtation followed by a date.
Tutus has had horrible luck with dating- so horrible he’s still a virgin! Hmmm, can that have anything to do with a hex? Danica’s grandmother has told her that if she marries a ‘mundane’ she’ll lose all her power. So gran keeps putting her together with magical creeps.But Danica and Titus are falling in love. Can the mundane and the magical come together for them?
Witch Please is a wonderful crazy lovable romp. I”m hoping for a sequel! I would recommend this book to my patrons and friends.

I need Fix-It Witches, please.

Danica and her cousin run a magical repair shop - but the townspeople don't know they're REAL witches. So when Titus, owner of Sugar Daddy bakery, needs a fix for his oven, he obviously goes to the best repair shop in town. And Danica's magic goes haywire from "hello". The world around Danica and Titus's story is rich with character and conflict as the two explore their individual family histories, then coming together at the end as adults. I LOVE that part of Titus' character allowed him to voice bisexual experience and a decided lack of sexual experience - the guy as the virgin who doesn't get emotional connection after sex? Romance spun on its head!

Ann Aguirre's voice has humor, understanding, and real sisterhood bonds in this coven - will be watching for the sequel!

A witch who owns an appliance repair shop, a cursed virgin bisexual hero, an interfering grandmother with an agenda, and a witch hunter to keep you on your toes. Witch Please is a fun read which looks like it will be part of a series.
Danica and Titus were a couple you could route for right from the start. Danica and her cousin run Fix-It Witches an appliance repair store. Titus owns Sugar Daddy's bakery and runs it with Maya his sister. Both are attracted to each other. So what's the problem? Well, Danica's grandmother insists that she marry a full witch like herself. Gram has made it clear that if you don't marry a full witch you will lose your magic. Also, poor Titus has some baggage. He has been plagued with incredibly bad luck with relationships or could it be a curse? and is still a virgin.
I liked how Danica and Titus have to work to find their way to each other. The insight into their internal dialog added a layer to the story. Both of them have other people in their lives that affect how they handle their relationships with each other. The secondary characters were also fun. I would like to get to know Danica's cousin and Titus's sister more. The book club, which is a cover for Danica's coven, was also a fun addition to the story.

Thank you Netgalley for the arc. This is my honest review.

Danica Waterhouse never expected to fall instantly in lust with local baker Titus Winnaker - even though she's been calling him her Cinnaman in her head for months. A broken oven and a little magic will bring these two together, but will a relationship work when their worlds - mundane and magical - are miles apart. Enter a series of lovable (and hate-able) side characters and watch the wackiness ensue.

This was a laugh-out loud treasure. It was so wonderful to read a paranormal romance featuring a hero who was NOT an alpha-hole - Titus is kind, caring, and family-oriented. He's exactly what Danica needs after growing up in relationship chaos. I would simply adore another book in this series - what's up with Clementine?

Lighthearted, quirky story with likable characters. A quick, enjoyable read I’d recommend to others. It’s a little different than others not all may enjoy this one.

Magic and curses and pacts and family (both of the blood and found variety) make the world go around. At least in Danica's little town. Throw in some baked goods from a gentle giant of a man and the potential for danger with a new arrival and things get complicated fast.

Except...they don't get complicated, really. Or at least the complications are all on the surface. Because Danica's both attracted and drawn to Titus and he feels the same. They're both wary, though. With their pasts (Danica's recent past and Titus's...err, well, ALL of his romantic past), they're both waiting for the other shoe to drop and things to turn sour. The complications come from their wariness and Danica's meddling grandmother's meddlesome shenanigans. Dang all that meddling!

The good news is that all the wariness and meddling in the world can't stop a determined witch. Or, well, a hunky, shy baker. They might take a while to work around their issues, but they get there. Eventually.

Found family, the unboxing of toxic relationships, sweet, steamy kisses, and a...well, a witch hunter. No worries, though, Danica's cousin is on that one. Literally, as it turns out. HA. Yeah, her story is going to be interesting. But now that certain truths have been uncovered, ANYTHING is possible, right?

3.5 stars, but I always round up

What do you get when you mix a bisexual virgin baker and a witch who's just coming off a failed relationship and determined not to fall for a "mundane," aka a non-magical human? Some crazy shenanigans, a dash of danger and eventually, romance.

So many things I really do like about this story - there's good diversity, queer rep that isn't screaming LOOK AT ME but baked into the story in an organic way. The worldbuilding starts slow but kept me reading, and by the end, I wanted more.

I was surprised that the thing I struggled with most is the actual romance. I enjoyed their individual stories with their friends and family more than their actual relationship, which felt uneven. I definitely struggled with the way Titus got the short end of the stick in alot of ways, yet it's never addressed. And I actively loathed Danica's grandmother, her influence on her grandchildren, and how it's just kind of wrapped up in a phone call.

But there's alot of threads left dangling for future story that I'm here for the next book, where I really hope we get even more info regarding this witchy town and its inhabitants.

4.5 stars. So adorable!

This is a great fit for rom-com and contemporary romance readers. There is an electrical attraction, a relationship barrier, important friends, and family fallout.

There is a little bit of repetition in the beginning, which should have been edited a little better, but once the story gets going, it is engrossing. Great pacing, support characters with hinted depths who will be able to support future series installments. The steamy bits are hot, but there is a bit of a disconnect: the hero is unexperienced before he and the heroine get together, but during their encounters, he provides verbal coaching to her. It didn't really make sense with who he is outside of those scenes. Not a deal-breaker, but the major reason this wasn't quiiiite a 5-star read.

Highly recommended!

This book was a lot of fun and officially sits in the place of the only book I've ever heartily enjoyed with an insta-love element.

Danica and Titus have been living in the same small town for a while now. He owns a bakery, and is known to Danica and her friends as CinnaMan for his amazing cinnamon buns, while Danica has co-owned a technology repairs place with her cousin. The two of them know, however, that they will not be falling in love with any mundane love interests because of a schism that happened between Danica's mum and their grandmother when Danica's mum decided to marry a mundane that Grams didn't approve of.

I thought for the longest time that Titus was going to show up to be from some kind of a hidden witch line, that wasn't previously known to him or Danica. His incredibly bad luck in terms of relationships and lovers seems quite pronounced and is something that Titus definitely lingers on in the early stages of him and Danica dating.

This isn't helped by the fact that Danica runs hot and cold with him, knowing both how attracted she is to him and how much her Grams will disapprove.

But the two of them are on fire from the moment they meet each other and that's both adorable and compelling. The strength of the outside influences trying to push her from him, and the anxieties trying to get at Titus, make for more than enough plot that the insta-love aspect is just fine in this novel.

I've liked Ann Aquirre's more sci-fi works in the past, and now cannot wait to see what she does in this new romantic series.

I loved how lighthearted and cute this book was, and I really wanted to give it 4 stars, but the miscommunication and unnecessary drama in the last third of the book annoyed me so much, I had to dock a star.

Danica is a witch and she runs into Titus-A PROFESSIONAL BAKER!! Titus is such a simp, he was the main redeeming factor of the book. I really love how the book started off in such a whimsical yet lighthearted manner, and as always-- gotta give a book props when they talk about safe sex and getting tested as well as kinkier stuff like bondage and strap-ons 👀👀👀!!! However, in the latter half of the book Danica became comically annoying and mean, that I couldn't enjoy it.

Danica handles the entire situation in the worst possible way. I understand she has the whole familial duty vs personal passion dilemma, but the way she refused to be honest with Titus and continued leading him on without voicing her expectations just seemed like a really dick move, especially considering how head-over-heels Titus was for her. Also--I don't get her pact with Clem at all???? "because I promised my cousin I would never engage in a long-term relationship" is quite possibly the most contrived and nonsensical way to end a relationship???

Although I must admit, I did love the diversity and how casually this stuff was brought up-- the kink and diversity and such was never brought up as some weird new phenomenon, but a natural thing, which I really appreciated.

One last note--about 2/3s into the book I realized this is occurring in a world where COVID has happened. There are offhand references to how the pandemic has affected flight prices and such. Which I must admit is impressive to include in a fantasy book--but why are there no other mentions of COVID at all throughout the book? Why aren't people wearing masks? Why isn't there any mention of vaccines? Are all these people anti-maskers????????

If you can stomach miscommunication and high-key douchey MCs, the cute concept and colloquial storytelling can really draw you in here. This book was also very clearly setting up a second book of Clem vs, Rhys, but I didn't mind it as much since I do love the hunter/prey dynamic 🤩🤩🤩

I went into this book delighted to read a light, frothy urban fantasy romance, which I mostly got, but the HEA was, in my opinion, severely lacking. Basically, I enjoyed everything until I got to the end and then I got pissed. Reader beware.

A fun read.

Danica is a witch, living in plain sight and running a business called Fix-It Witches with her cousin Clem. Danica meets Titus when the oven in his bakery breaks down and he needs her to fix it. There is chemistry between them, but she has family pressure to marry a witch or lose her powers. Will she give Titus a chance?

Titus is unlucky in love, and finally thinks he will have his chance, but will Danica's meddling family and a witch hunter turning up ruin everything for them.

I liked how it is told from both of their points of view, and some great side characters, especially Danica's 'book club'!

Hoping her cousin Clem gets her own book next!

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for giving me access to a free e-arc in exchange of my honnest opinion.
This was fun and hot at the same time but maybe a bit too romantic for me. I'm not a big fan of the whole love at first sight thing. The other thing that I didn't like was how everything was resolved. Like how can you be ok with spending the rest of your life without telling the truth about what you are to your soulmate ? I don't get it.
Overall I liked the story and it was a quick read. I would be interested to learn more about Clem story.

Enchanting and delightful! A recommended purchase for fiction collections where contemporary romance is popular.

This book was great about a witch, Danica, who runs a shop where she fixes different appliances in record time with the help of her magic. She is dealing with work, an ex who is inviting her to his wedding, and a family that want her to meet a nice male witch to settle down with and continue the bloodline. One day Titus walks into her shop and asks for her help fixing his oven. There is an instant connection, but he is not magic he is utterly mundane. What is a witch to do?

The romance was sweet and there is even representation with Danica being Bi that I liked. There are some weird family dynamics with a dash of guilt tripping that I am sure many of us know well. I actually liked the family dynamic and felt that it was familiar to many in the world still today.

It is an overall good time, and I am glad that I was able to pick this up and enjoy it.

**Thanks to Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for granting my wish and allowing me to get an ARC of this!**

Small-town handy witch falls for a mundane (aka mortal) baker? Okay, I’ll bite. I had truly not heard of this book or author until the book Witch Please by Ann Aguirre landed in my mailbox, but everyone knows I’m a witch, so getting this book felt serendipitous. Ultimately ,it had some cheesy moments, but overall was a solid 3.75 star read for me and a perfect read for between heavy-heavy lit fic and nonfiction titles!

Danica Waterhouse comes from a long line of powerful, feminist witches, which is why her Gram is very serious about her ending up with a good witch man to carry on the bloodline. Only problem? The cute baker in town, the CinnaMan, Titus, who hits it off immediately with Danica after calling on her to fix his broken oven. Sparks fly, smoothies are shared, and soon, they have a regular lunch spot and an adorable chemistry and Danica is fighting her instincts to cut and run and save this man, and herself, a heartbreak. Titus’s has his own nerves–he’s a virgin, and feels like he is cursed because of his past relationships. Could Danica be the one to break the curse, or is she going to curse him further?

This is a fun, flirty, a bit sexy rom-com with a witchy twist. It’s definitely not fantasy, or too-witchy, it’s just got a bit of a magical bent at times. It’s 95% contemporary rom-com full of tasty sweet, saucy moments, will-they-won’t-they tension, and a happily ever after ending. What more could you want?

Witch Please by Ann Aguirre is on sale everywhere September 7, 2021

This is a dream’s coming true: a witch heroine: combination of Olivia Pope meets Diana Bishop with magical powers mixing with fixing skills!

A literally unconventional cinnamon bun hero ( surprise, surprise : he’s bia, virgin with extremely talented culinary skills) blanketed by sweet-swoon-soft dusty tale makes you feel extremely happy!

I loved the idea! I enjoyed the execution!
I loved Danica and Titus as a couple!

Both of them are so scared to suffer from broken hearts, taking this slow but blooming attraction between them is so hard to resist!

And of course the merciless grandmother of Danica watches her every move like a hawk and did I tell you Danica cannot be with a mundane if she doesn’t want to lose her magical powers. Is Titus worth to risk everything she’s built in her life?

One of my quickest, enjoyable, tempting, unputdownable reads! I had so much fun!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.
