Unfortunately, I did have some issues with this one.

On the plus side, I enjoyed the small-town, Sookie Stackhouse-esque vibes and tone of the book; the writing style often reminded me of Charlaine Harris's. Witch Please is a sweet and lighthearted romance, which is sometimes very necessary, and I also enjoyed several of the side characters and the emphasis and family and friendship dynamics alongside the romance.

What didn't work for me was the lack of plot; it felt like there was really only one main conflict in the book (one protagonist is a witch, the other is a mundane, and so they aren't supposed to be together) without any other real hurdles, so the book often felt repetitive. I also had some serious issues with the lack of communication between the protagonists, some of which are spoilery, and the "resolution" at the end didn't sit well with me. I also wish there had been more magic and general witchiness--for a book about witches, I thought the supernatural elements were lacking.

I received an eARC of Witch Please from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I truly don't read much in the way of paranormal romance, but with a few witch-y romcoms coming out in the next year, the concept piqued my interest and I definitely found myself enjoying this story. Titus was an absolute cinnamon roll of a character and I loved that his nickname was cinnaMan because he was a baker. On top of that, Danica's character was fun, messy, and a great leading female surrounded by people that loved her a the witch-yness that made her loveable.

I will say though, the story itself (like most romcoms) was quite predictable, and I would've liked if there was a loophole in the witch lore that allowed witches to tell humans they fall in love with about who they are - but eh, even without it this was a quick and fun read.

This story was so enjoyable and fun! It was also just so adorable. I loved the take that the author took when it came to witches and the way their powers presented themselves. I think all of the characters were fun on their own and together. I'm assuming there are going to be more books following the characters present so I'm excited to see where those journeys take them.

Something I wasn't too keen on was the conflict that took place throughout the story. It felt to me that enough time was really placed in discussing the conflict and properly working through its solution. It all just felt kind of haphazard to me. I like that the conflict was solved and didn't go to great lengths to ruin the HEA - but I just wish a little more happened.

Overall though, the story was enjoyable and fun! Sometimes we need a light read that won't take entirely too much effort to digest and this was perfect for that. It was fun and I couldn't really complain! I gave it a rating of 3.5 stars but we'll round up to 4!

I really wasn’t sure what to expect but this was such a fun, cute read. I love a witchy book!

Titus was such a book boyfriend! Literally was too good to be true. He was such a romantic and you felt for him with his romantic past lol.

You also felt for Danica with all the issues surrounding her mom and Gram. Like jeez let her live her life!

5/5

Witch Please was one of my most anticipated releases of the year, and it ended up being a delight.

Danica Waterhouse is a technomage, and she and her cousin Clem run a repair shop called Fix-It Witches. They have to keep their magic secret because there’s still witch hunters out there, and all their life the Waterhouse cousins were warned not to fall for a mundane because their family has a curse which result in them losing their magic. When Titus, local owner and baker of Sugar Daddy, has a broken stove, he calls on the Fix-It Witches to repair it. He and Danica are immediately drawn to one another and quickly fall into a casually romantic dynamic with shared lunches and fun texts. That is until fears of how Danica’s grandmother will react and the fears of the family curse make Danica feel she needs to put space between her and Titus.

As much as I looked forward to this book, I had trouble getting into the beginning and it wasn’t until 40% that I was hooked. It was cute and fun, but for the first 40% or so, at least for me, it felt like nothing much was really happening. But once Gavin showed up, things started getting really interesting and I had trouble putting the book down!

This is overall a very light, fluffy kind of read for those days when you just want something relaxing to sink into. It has humor and fantastic chosen family and a super sweet romance, and definitely brought some brightness to my day while reading it. While it started slow for me, in the end I really enjoyed the book and I’m very much looking forward to Clem and Gavin’s book!

This was the fastest I’ve finished a full length novel in a while! I found this so easy to read, I ate it right up. I would attribute this to the fun and simple magic dynamic, the generally positive interactions and intentions between main characters, and an overall feeling of low stakes and safety. I found both the hero and the heroine likeable and I enjoyed getting their POVs.
The magic and worldbuilding were not complicated, I think the vagueness generally worked well to keep the story flowing, though it was a bit too vague around some plot elements toward the end. The family and friends of the main characters are important to this story, and present throughout, which I always appreciate. I adored the queer rep in this book, with multiple sapphic relationships among side characters and a bisexual hero. The very strong attraction between Titus and Danica was sexy and fun. My main complaint with this book is around the plot with the hero’s family. Titus lives with his younger sister, and their feelings of abandonment from their father are clearly still fresh. When discussing their father and step family, it just felt a bit too simple (and bitter) to me, kind of two-dimensional. My other issues were 1) that the backstory behind the hero’s virginity was morally questionable and glossed over, and 2) the apparent main obstacle to their relationship was based on lies from her family and the heroine never questioned it. In this way, the later parts of the book were not as satisfying as they could have been.
The witch hunter threat was also not really wrapped up, but that seems to be teed up for a series continuation.
I had one read book by Ann Aguirre before, which I liked, and this cover and premise really called to me. I’m glad I read it and I will definitely continue in the series!

Danica Waterhouse is a fully modern witch—daughter, granddaughter, cousin, and co-owner of the Fix-It Witches, a magical tech repair shop. After a messy breakup that included way too much family “feedback,” Danica made a pact with her cousin: they’ll keep their hearts protected and have fun, without involving any of the overly opinionated Waterhouse matriarchs. Danica is more than a little exhausted navigating a long-standing family feud where Gram thinks the only good mundane is a dead one and Danica’s mother weaves floral crowns for anyone who crosses her path.

Three blocks down from the Fix-It Witches, Titus Winnaker, owner of Sugar Daddy’s bakery, has family trouble of his own. After a tragic loss, all he’s got left is his sister, the bakery, and a lifetime of terrible luck in love. Sure, business is sweet, but he can’t seem to shake the romantic curse that’s left him past thirty and still a virgin. He’s decided he’s doomed to be forever alone.

Until he meets Danica Waterhouse. The sparks are instant, their attraction irresistible. For him, she’s the one. To her, he’s a firebomb thrown in the middle of a family war. Can a modern witch find love with an old-fashioned mundane who refuses to settle for anything less than forever?

This book had a lot of potential for me, and started off strong, but fizzled out part way through. In my opinion, there was just too much going on. There were too many plot points and more secondary character development than was necessary.

Ok, let’s talk about the good stuff. Danica and Titus are delightful. They have an opposites attract vibe going on. Watching Danica try to resist her chemistry with Titus because she’s not supposed to fall in love with a non witch (a mundane as it’s called in their world) is very entertaining. Danica and Titus have an insta-love trope going on. I’ll admit, it’s not my favourite. When Titus meets Danica his first thought is “I’m going to marry her.” While I may have rolled my eyes at that, I did enjoy the tension that Ann Aguirre built around their “will they or won’t they” dance. Titus is a virgin, which is a part of the plot. However, once he gets it on, he has a very fast learning curve – there is no blushing virgin in Titus. The intimate scenes were fiery. Titus may seem like a sweet cinnamon roll type of hero, but get him naked and watch out – he will melt icing.

I also really liked Danica’s coven of witches – her sisterhood. They are a strong group of women with varied backgrounds. Queer representation is simple and straightforward in the book – lesbians and bi characters exist and are accepted without any strife or judgement. It was an unexpected but delightful layer in the book.

Here’s where the book fell apart for me: there were too many secondary details for me. There were two villains, neither with a strong sense of urgency: Danica’s grandmother will go to any lengths to ensure her granddaughter marries a fellow witch. It doesn’t matter what the witch is like as long as he has magic in him. And then, suddenly a witch hunter shows up. It’s not really explained what he’s doing there, other than he’s attracted by Danica’s out-of-control magic that is flaring out of her because she’s trying to resist sleeping with Titus. Danica’s cousin, Clementine, offers to get rid of the witch hunter, but seems to start an affair with him instead. It looks like her story is the second book in this series, so hopefully there’s more character resolution to come. Ann spends a lot of time describing characters actions and details. For example, we meet Titus’ dog, Doris. We learn about her schedule, when she likes to go to the washroom and how she likes to eat her breakfast. I expected her to be a major plot point because of the detail paid to her.

All in all, I loved the romance and chemistry between Danica, a magical powerhouse with a sharp tongue, and Titus a family-focused baker who makes the best cinnamon buns in town. I needed less backstory and more time to watch their relationship develop. I will most likely read the second book in the series as I am very interested to see how Clementine’s story develops and see more action with the witch hunter.

I dnf'd this book at like 25%. I didn't like the characters or the storyline. The internal dialogue for both of them just kind of cringed me out. I found Danica to be not strong enough and Titus just wasn't my type of hero, There was so much internal focus from her on the fact that he is a mundane and what is everyone gonna think and he is obsessed from minute one and it just felt like the icky kind of instalove for me.
The writing itself was fine but overall it just wasn't for me.
I did not actually give this book one star for my review off netgalley.

This was a totally new to me author but this books cover and blurb caught my attention and I thought it sounded cute and fun and I'm very happy to say that it was. I really enjoyed this book and I am in fact eagerly anticipating reading more books in this series. I felt that the writing was nicely done and the plot kept me engaged and entertained. The offered blend of emotions, drama, humor, family tension, angst, heat, inner turmoil, twists, insecurities and heart was moving, poignant, zany and quite often relatable. As much as the whole witch/magic part of this story appealed to me, I was very pleased that I never felt that it was the spotlight of this book. It was a vital supporting character though, to the romance and the relationships (which is what I read for because I am a self proclaimed romance junkie), so again, I was very happy. I liked the main characters a lot. Titus was an incredible hero. I loved his uniqueness and his sweetness. To me he was a true Keeper and a man totally worthy of some mega swoons. My heart ached for him. As for Danica, as I said I liked her but must admit that she did frustrate me sometimes. However, I always thought she came across as very relatable and I could sympathize with her. Together they made a pair that had me fiercely rooting for them while I was getting bombarded with plenty of feels. In the end, I did not think it was a perfect read (due to the above mentioned Danica frustration and a couple of other small things that I found pesky) but it was very, very good. I'm glad that I read it and think you will too.

Woo it’s Thursday! And I took tomorrow off of work, so it’s like Friday for me, which I’m the most excited for! I’m slowly but surely catching up with all of the books I need to read and review, so that’s good (now I’m only maybe like 4-5 behind instead of 8-9 behind) so another three day weekend should hopefully help out with that.

Thank you so much to Sourcebooks Casablanca and Netgalley for letting me read an eARC of Witch Please! This book came our on September 7th, so definitely go check it out as soon as you’ve finished reading my review!

Witch Please 4/5 Stars

Summary from Goodreads:

Practical Magic meets Gilmore Girls in this adorable witchy rom-com with:

• A bisexual virgin baker with a curse
• A witch looking to avoid romantic entanglements
• And a chemistry between them that causes literal sparks

Danica Waterhouse is a fully modern witch—daughter, granddaughter, cousin, and co-owner of the Fix-It Witches, a magical tech repair shop. After a messy breakup that included way too much family “feedback,” Danica made a pact with her cousin: they’ll keep their hearts protected and have fun, without involving any of the overly opinionated Waterhouse matriarchs. Danica is more than a little exhausted navigating a long-standing family feud where Gram thinks the only good mundane is a dead one and Danica’s mother weaves floral crowns for anyone who crosses her path.

Three blocks down from the Fix-It Witches, Titus Winnaker, owner of Sugar Daddy’s bakery, has family trouble of his own. After a tragic loss, all he’s got left is his sister, the bakery, and a lifetime of terrible luck in love. Sure, business is sweet, but he can’t seem to shake the romantic curse that’s left him past thirty and still a virgin. He’s decided he’s doomed to be forever alone.

Until he meets Danica Waterhouse. The sparks are instant, their attraction irresistible. For him, she’s the one. To her, he’s a firebomb thrown in the middle of a family war. Can a modern witch find love with an old-fashioned mundane who refuses to settle for anything less than forever?

Witch Please was such an interesting book- I loved the idea of different families having different types of magic (but spoiler alert, it didn’t make any sense at all to me that Danica’s mom had a different type of magic if all Waterhouse witches were supposed to have technology magic). I also really liked Clem (Danica’s cousin)- I kinda liked her more than I liked Danica, so I’m the most excited about her book. Titus was fine, but I liked his sister and stepsister better than him too, so it’s a little sad that I wasn’t the biggest fan of the main characters. I did enjoy the plot though- the whole idea of a witch instantly falling in love with a mundane and then having to not be with him because of her biased grandmother and all of the lies she told throughout her life was great. Plus a witch hunter coming in and Clem (my fave!) having to distract him so Danica doesn’t raise red flags, definitely a great plot point! I really liked that Titus owned a bakery and I loved his nickname (CinnaMan lol)- Sugar Daddy’s is such a great name for a bakery! There was so much promise in this book and I did enjoy it, and I know I’d have loved it even more if I had liked Danica and Titus more. I have very high hopes for book 2 though!

Have you all noticed all of the witch themed romance novels out this year? It was hard to avoid picking one out to read and Witch Please had that one theme that is hard for me to resist. A man who owns a bakery. LOL. Titus has never been lucky at love and in fact thinks he’s been cursed because every man or woman he’s been involved in has left him for ridiculous reasons. When he meets Danica he knows she’s the one and he’s determined, and to be truthful, slightly panicked at the thought that she will also leave him for some mysterious destination. This insecurity is a running theme and for a man who all the women in this novel drool over, seems a little silly, and does get a little tired. However, as the reader gets to know Titus we see that in fact he’s had a run of bad luck and I guess can’t really be blamed for his high level of insecurity.

Danica has her own issues to get over. She thinks that she has to fall in love with another full blooded witch or she’ll lose her powers. She has to figure out what’s more important, love or the sisterhood that comes from being a witch? I knew when I picked up this novel that I needed to being opened minded to a witchy fantasy but this novel seemed a little silly even for the season.

This novel had moments where I thought, OK, I like where the author is taking this character, but then something really small and silly would block me from total buy in and took me outside the story. I just had a really hard time letting myself go and immersing myself in the world the author built. I’ll admit that I skimmed through the latter half of the novel because I felt like the resolution took a little too long and I wasn’t invested enough in the story to spend the time getting to the ending. Witchy Please was meant to be fun, and it was a little bit? But, not enough to get over the more juvenile plot developments and conflicts. I had trouble with this one, folks, I’m not going to lie. It wasn’t all bad though which is why I’m giving it a 3.0 rating. ❤️❤️❤️

I received a copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley for my honest review and it was honest.

This was cute, but it wasn't quite as good as I had hoped for. There's really not much of a plot other than Danica and Titus trying to be together. I definitely had expected more to happen in terms of explanations of things and actions. There's a couple of mysteries and curses mentioned, but they're explained in a line or two instead of delving deeper in them like I had expected.

The pacing was fine though, and it's certainly easy to read. I really liked the idea of the witches and how Danica and her cousin Clem have powers over technology. This magical repair shop was a fabulous idea! However, we don't really get much of an explanation about how the magic works or a ton of variety with the types of magic. I do love the coven/"book club" - there's actually a recommendation for Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri which I loved! This was really fun, but it does mean that this takes place in the real world. There are also allusions to coronavirus. While it's not explicitly mentioned by name, you can tell that it's what's being referred to.

In terms of the characters, Danica was a fun character overall. She's very sassy and confident, and I generally liked her. She has to deal with dating a mundane and how her family reacts to this because some of her family members think that they must only marry other pure-blooded witches. This ends up bringing up some good points about how people aren't always as nice as they seem. Additionally, I think there's a nice examination of the belief that you can only marry people of a similar background.

In terms of some of the other characters, I actually really disliked Danica's cousin Clem. I thought that she wasn't as supportive of Danica as I would have expected with them being best friends. I also didn't get the feeling that she really cared about Danica's happiness.

Titus, the romantic interest, is a baker and a bisexual virgin. I was a bit more mixed on him, mostly because I felt that he exhibits some clingy and possessive behavior. I didn't love how he immediately jumped to thinking about marrying Danica and how many kids they'd have when he first meets her. I did like his bond with his sister though - they go through a bit of a struggle with figuring out how to interact with their dad after he quickly moved on after their mom died (prior to events of the book). It was nice to explore this, and I do think that Titus realizes he's being a bit harsh with his dad's new family (though admittedly, his dad is still not great).

The romance is alright overall. The chemistry is definitely there, but this felt a bit instalovey to me, and I wasn't always fond of how they talked to each other.

Overall, this was a fun premise, but I just wanted more from it. I did go in thinking it would be more of a paranormal romance rather than a romance with paranormal elements, so this could have been a case of my expectations not being properly aligned with the actual book. If you're interested in the premise, it could be worth checking out. For me personally, I'm not sure if I'll be continuing this series.

Yes, the book is just as sweet and adorable as the cover suggests. At one point, Titus feels like he’s “stumbled into a mystic portal where everything was weirder and more interesting and infinitely better” which honestly is a pretty good description of how I felt reading this book.

Danica and her cousin Clem manage a repair shop called Fix-It Witches in a small midwestern town. Their secret? They are actually mechanically-inclined witches who use their magic to repair malfunctioning appliances. Her life’s pretty great, except that the elderly neighbor’s cat won’t stop popping up on her porch (Danica’s allergic to cats) and, oh, the fact that her ex of several years is happily planning to marry his new girlfriend. And then in walks Titus, the local bakery owner, with an issue with one of his ovens. Her book club – aka coven – calls him the CinnaMan, partially for his delicious cinnamon rolls and partially because he’s ridiculously handsome. But, also true to that name, he’s very sweet, and Danica can’t seem to resist him, even if he is a mundane. She intends to have a simple no-emotions-involved fling to get him out of her system, but then all of a sudden she’s meeting up with him at a park bench everyday for lunch, bringing him juice concoctions and sampling his attempts at updating old-fashioned treats to be healthier. That’s what people do with hookups, right?

“Are you all right?” she asked instead of a more conventional greeting.
“I…think so?”
“You don’t sound sure.”
“It’s because I never realized beauty could be a blunt object before.”
“Are you saying that you’ve been assaulted by my attractiveness?”


From their meet-cute, Danica and Titus are ridiculously adorable together (and horny, very horny). Their banter starts out very silly – Titus has a quirky sense of humor, which Danica gets completely – but gets hotter as their relationship progresses. Titus is literally the CinnaMan cinnamon roll. He’s sweet and kinda, and he even has a dog named Doris whom he loves dearly (and lets take up most of his bed). He works and lives with his younger sister and they have a great relationship (the relationship with the rest of his family… well, I’ll get to that later). Like Danica’s aforementioned ex woes, he’s also been unlucky in love, and frankly considers himself cursed. Things with Danica feel different, though, and he’s terrified of somehow ruining this relationship as well.

“Why do you have to be both absurdly hot and wickedly smart?”


On Danica’s end, she’s got her own expectations causing issues. Witches can’t tell mundanes they exist; they’re ensorcelled at birth to alert the witch council if they do, and offending parties are mind-wiped/turned into animals. Danica thinks that there’s a curse on her family where if she marries a mundane, she’ll lose her magic, like her mother. Nothing, she imagines, could be worth sacrificing the bonds of friendship she has with her coven. So no matter how much of a connection she feels to Titus, any sort of relationship with him has no future… but she can’t quite keep away from him, even when her nearest and dearest are dead-set against the relationship.

One of the things I liked in this book was its exploration of family. Danica’s grandmother claims she only wants the best for her, and that’s why she keeps pushing her to make a match with a witch from an old, established family. Problem is, they’re all jerks who are only interested in her for her pedigree. Titus’s dad remarried shortly after his mother died and moved away from the town they grew up in, leaving Titus and his younger sister Maya in order to play step-dad to his newest wife’s kids. To say his actions are hurtful, well, that would be downplaying Titus and Maya’s feelings, and they don’t really want anything to do with his new family. But as each character gets various bombshells dropped on them by their families, they’re each forced to reckon with their own definitions of families and needed boundaries. Each character makes different choices in how they deal with them, and they felt true to the character.

There’s definite sequel bait with Danica’s cousin, Clem, and the witch hunter who comes into town, and several plot threads involving him are left hanging. To be honest, I had mixed feelings about Clem. She seemed very harsh to Danica when it was obvious to everyone else how much she was hurting and I’m curious how much overlap there will be between her book and this one.

Overall, this was an adorable and hot read. Definitely recommend reading this one with at least one gooey cinnamon roll handy!

I received an advance review copy of this book from NetGalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Ah! This was such a cute and steamy read! I had totally requested this on Netgalley just for that cover alone! It was so pretty and cute, and additionally, I've read and loved Ann Aguirre's other UF and Sci-fi books(especially Strange Love) so I was excited to see her take on a paranormal rom-com!

Danica comes from a family of witches and she runs a magical tech repair shop along with her cousin - Clem. They're both witches who do tech magic, but in her family, her grandma is the only one who practices magic while her mother married a mundane. So, she has always felt the pressure from her Gran to marry a man who practices magic, instead of a normal human being from whom she'd have to hide her magic. She and her cousin have also been warned by their Gran that if they marry a mundane, they might lose their magic, so they're stuck between two worlds.

And then we have Titus, who is an adorable, bisexual baker who has never had much luck with love(Is it a curse? You never know lol!). He runs a bakery in town along with his sister after the loss of their mom and their dad has remarried and started his own family, which leaves them feeling hurt and lost. When he comes into Danica's shop to get his oven fixed, sparks fly - literally! It's attraction at first sight for these two! But, what will a witch who's torn between her grandma and her promise to her cousin, and a baker who's cursed in love do when they find themselves falling for each other?

Danica and Titus were so cute together! I loved their hilarious interactions and the witty quips that they threw at each other! They've both been hurt by previous romantic relationships, but they're willing to take a chance on each other. The development of their relationship was adorable and the sexual tension was amazing. Also, Titus is a virgin! Gah, this guy was so sweet and perfect, and I was falling for him right alongside Danica!

But they do have to face a few challenges before they can get together - mainly Danica's grandma. Danica's cousin, Clem also has a problem with him initially because of their pact, but she does manage to get over it when a witch hunter ends up coming into town. So, Danica not only has to face threats from her grandma when she doesn't follow her wishes, she also needs to safeguard herself and her witch friends from the hunter.

Danica's group of friends and witches were also amazing and very supportive of her! I also loved Titus' sister as she was hilarious and sweet. On the other hand, I really didn't like Danica's grandmother, especially after she started threatening her with Titus's safety. I was waiting for Danica to go against her Gran and I was pretty surprised when some secrets are revealed towards the end.
It was a little hard to believe that they didn't think about talking to her mom before this and they completely believed whatever their Gran had told them.

As much as I loved the story and the relationship between the main characters, I was a little dissatisfied with the ending. It felt a little incomplete to me as there wasn't much of a confrontation with the Gran and there is still the witch hunter left in town(who will have a romance with Clem, I suppose?). I also didn't like the fact that though Danica and Titus came together after resolving their issues, she never reveals to him that she's a witch. So, he's essentially in the dark like her dad? I was hoping for Titus to have some magical powers too, as that would have made the story a bit more interesting!
Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this one and I'm looking forward to reading Clem's story in the next book! Let's hope that these loose threads at the end would have been tied up by then!

A fun paranormal/witchy rom-com that was a little light on the witchy, but had plenty of romance and steam, laughter and angst. I enjoyed reading as Danica and Titus, who had both been unlucky in love, found each other....even as others around them tried to keep them apart. The side characters were interesting and annoying and added so much to the story. The pacing of the storyline was an issue in a couple of places, but overall I enjoyed this book. 3.5 stars

Many thanks to the publisher, Sourcebooks, and to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor or expectation.

✨Practical Magic meets Gilmore Girls in this adorable witchy rom-com with:
🔸A bisexual virgin baker with a curse
🔸A witch looking to avoid romantic entanglements
🔸And a chemistry between them that causes literal sparks✨

This is the first in the Fix-It Witches series. Danica Waterstone is a witch with the ability to magically fix machines. Her and her cousin have a shop in St. Claire called Fix-It Witches. Titus Winnaker the owner of Sugar Daddy's bakery, who Danica's book club calls The Cinnaman due to his amazing Cinnamon rolls. He comes into her shop because his oven needs a repair and instant chemistry.

Do you believe in soulmates? Or that you are hexed to be single your whole life? I mean I guess there's no in between (sometimes it doesn't feel like it)

Danica and Titus' chemistry is immediate and steamy and she is very take charge. As the mini blurb said he's a virgin sooooo, (sorry if that's a spoiler)

All the while there's a witch hunter in town that Danica's cousin Clementine has volunteered to "distract". He's a big scary dude intimidating people and destroying property.

There's a lot of real love family drama and witchy family drama happening too, cause life doesn't pause in a love story and when there are witch hunters. 

Very much enjoyed this one! It was steamy and a bit smutty if you like or dislike that. I loved it! 🔥😊🧹🥐

Thank you sourcebookscasa and netgalley for the e-ARC for my honest and voluntary review.

This is a light & fluffy read, but it does have some steaminess! This is the perfect book to move from beach reads to fall romcoms.

Witch Please by Ann Aguirre is an absolutely charming romp of a book!

How could I not love a shy virgin baker and a witch whose special gift is to fix tech with magic?! Titus and Danica’s instant attraction (literal sparks were flying) was so cute and I loved how stunned Titus was when they first met.

The author’s easy style of writing also made the story fly by as they navigated their complex family situations, witchy politics and the push and pull of their relationship.

Why you should read this book?
- Cinnamon-roll hero who is completely gone for the sassy unwillingly attracted heroine
- Magical shenanigans
- 🔥🔥🔥
- casual diversity!
- light and fluffy small town read

I absolutely can’t wait for the next book in this series!

Thank you to the publisher for the arc.

This book is available now.

Are you in the Fall mood already? If not, you must read this book - not a need, a must! It's the perfect book to put you all ready for the awesome autumnal vibes and all the cozy Halloween movies! 🎃

So, this story revolves around Danica and Titus, both main characters, living in a little town where magic is real but no one knows about it, except, of course, for the witches working at Fix-It Witches. Danica comes from a very powerful witch line and she uses her magic for good. Her grandmother is really stiff, so sometimes, Danica has to bend to her favor. That is, until she meets Titus, the gorgeous CinnaMan who works at the town's bakery and happens to be, of course, a mundane (human).

This book was just everything I wanted it to be. Major bisexual representation, coven and sisterhood - we love to see it! We also love a very strong, female main character who happens to be a witch and doesn't give up on her life nor herself. We also love a man written by a woman - described beautifully (not only physically, but psychologically) and super attentive. Let's not forget the smutty parts, please. This book is a 🌶️🌶️ on a 5🌶️ scale: the author describes the sex scenes but never too much, which means, a 16 year-old is safe for reading it but never a 12 year-old 🤪

All in all, this book is absolutely amazing, really intuitive and the writing is really easy to understand and perfect for a lift-my-mood-up read! Also, really atmospheric and cheesy - which I can never say no to! 🍁

𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
