I am so conflicted about how I feel about this book. The premise is fantastic and screams everything I should love in a story. And for the most part, I really did! But the things that didn't work for me, really didn't work for me.

So for the good, I really loved Danica and Titus as well as all of the supporting characters! There was such a wonderful community created, it made the story feel comfortable and fresh. However, there were too many plot holes and loose threads. I know that there's a second book in the series coming out but the way this story is written, it reads like the first half in a duology rather than a stand-alone. Nothing is resolved with the witch hunter (and you're telling me all the witches were good with him coming to a house party full of witches???), nothing was resolved with the grandmother, and then there's the mother who lied to her daughter her entire life? How is that ok? This then brings up the ending, which for Danica and Titus didn't exactly feel like a true HEA. I don't want to call it an HFN, but something feels really off about calling it an HEA when one half of the relationship will forever be lied to. It didn't leave me with those feel-good feelings at the end, which is sad considering how good this could have been!

I really wish the magic from the first few chapters could have continued on throughout the rest of the story, because I really wanted to love this!

A fun magical romp. Well written, engaging love story, I didn't see the end coming, which was a pleasant surprise. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

This was cute and fun, in everything that involved the main couple.
Except Danica's grandmother, I mean, seriously, big TW. I wish <spoiler>the confrontation where the grandmother from hell is made to face the consequences of her actions had more weight in the text. There's the implication that there's more to come, but it's not directly told in the book, and I felt like what we got was not quite cathartic enough.</spoiler>
The pacing at the end felt a bit off, like the romance plot was resolved a bit too early and there were so many pages left still.
But that didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the book. I appreciated the efforts towards diversity in the cast. I also super appreciated the amazing names of their respective shops.

This story follows Danica, a practicing witch who owns a repair shop called fix-it witches with her cousin. One day Danica meets Titus, the owner of a local well-loved bakery. There’s an instant connection between them. Unfortunately for Danica, who has been told by her Grandmother that if Danica falls for a human she would lose her magic in the process.
Overall I think this was a solid romance novel and I definitely enjoyed it. Where this book shines is definitely the relationship between Danica and Titus. The banter between the characters is so good and there were parts that made me laugh out loud. Titus was such a lovely and refreshing love interest. Not only was he a giant cinnamon roll but him being bisexual just felt right and didn’t feel forced at all. I loved how open and vulnerable he was with Danica and I love reading about his close bond with his Sister, Maya. This book suffers a bit from the instant-love trope but overall I didn’t mind it that much.
My biggest complaint was with Danica magic and her conflict with her Grandmother. The entire book essentially revolves around her Grandmother disapproving of Danica being with a human and I felt like that was just wrapped up a little too easily.
There will be more books in this series so perhaps that will be expanded on in future books but alas I was just a little unsatisfied with how things wrapped up.

I have pretty mixed feelings about this book, which I’ll go into detail about later, but let’s start with the premise. Danica Waterhouse is a witch who lives with her cousin in a small town. Humans without magic, called “mundanes” aren’t allowed to know about magic under any circumstances, even if they a romantically involved with a witch. Because of this, Danica is skeptical about getting serious with a mundane, but falls for the owner of the town’s local bakery, Titus.

Let’s start with the good: the premise of this book is entertaining, and the small-town setting is written in a very charming way. Danica and Titus have nice chemistry, and I loved the way their initial sexual tension was written, as well as how it played out. I enjoyed most of the supporting characters as well.

However, as much as I enjoyed Danica and Titus, their romance felt too much like instant love for my tastes. I would have preferred to see a bit more development in their relationship. I also found Titus’s bisexuality to be a throw-away plot point that did not feel well-developed at all. Others might disagree, but as a bisexual person myself, I did not particularly care for the representation in this book. The primary conflict of the book involves Danica’s grandmother, and I found that to be too drawn out. The other problem I had with this book was the writing style. I truly felt like it was trying way too hard to be “relatable” to the Millennial demographic, and it just fell flat for me with some of the slang and colloquial phrases used. Finally, there is no resolution to the fact that Danica can never tell Titus about her magic, and the book ends with Danica effectively planning on lying to Titus for the rest of their lives together. That just didn’t sit right with me.

Overall, while this book had some good things going for it, it fell flat for me.

The publisher provided me a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.

Ann Aguirre never fails to produce quality, whether it's a frothy romance or a dark, outer-space struggles, you are always treated to snappy dialogue, believable characters, and good world-building. As the cover shows, this book falls into the definitely "frothy" category, and delivers completely. Danica is a tech-witch, working in her co-owned repair shop with her cousin and recovering from a failed relationship. Her talented (witch powers-wise) Grandmother is in the market for grandchildren, and determined to select a prime specimen for Danica.
Titus owns the local bakery, and although a genius at pastries, is not a part of the hidden world of magic. Needless to say, he is a hottie, and antics ensue as Danica struggles to deal with her attraction to him.. Contains explicit but not indiscriminate sex, (I mean, there is a plot!), and is everything anyone could want in a lovely romance week-end read.

This is such a charming read (pun intended)! Witch Please offers us two lead characters that make literal sparks fly with their chemistry: Danica, a modern witch who fixes appliances and electronics at her family business, Fix-It Witches, and Titus, an actual cinnamon roll hero who’s a bisexual baker that just wants to make everyone around him happy.

The real tension in the book lies in the complicated nature of Danica and Titus’ attraction to each other, as Danica’s very traditional and strict grandmother is determined to keep their family bloodline within the witch community. There’s a push and pull between Danica and her family, her strong feelings for Titus, and her fear of losing her powers or disrespecting her family’s magical legacy.

I liked that there was such an equal balance of story that dealt with family issues (on Titus’ side as well) as well as the central romance. I felt like I had a really good sense of who the characters were, what they cared about, and what made them unique. And although there was instant, mutual attraction, there was still a nice progression in Danica and Titus’ relationship and aspects that required character development on both sides.

This was a pure joy to read, and hard to put down at times! My only “complaint” was that there were quite a few loose ends yet to be wrapped up at the end of the book, but when you factor in that a sequel is on its way, I can’t be too mad about that. After all, I’ll be absolutely thrilled to get back into that world and revisit the characters I adored.

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.

Romance and magic is officially the best combo!

I loved the story of this book. A witch that falls in love with a human? I want that! Forbidden and passionate and steamy, all the good stuff! Titus is the absolute cutest character and that the author decided that he identify as bisexual made the story elevated in a good way. It seemed to add another dimension to Titus as a character.

I love anything with magic and I'm just the biggest romance fan so naturally, I liked this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks CASABLANCA for the earc in return for an honest review.

A fun, witchy romcom perfect for Halloween. Writing is not spectacular, but is fun and a quick read that will be perfect for the spooky season.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Danica who is a witch has decided to take a pass on relationships after her last one has ended badly. While working one-day, she meets Titus who is single and owns a bakery. I enjoyed the chemistry between Danica and Titus.

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.
