Can a rom-com be anymore cuter? The answer is no. These two are so adorable and loving. The plot was pretty fun too!!

Paranormal romcoms are all the rage right now and I can't get enough. Robb's entry into the genre is what I call a smiley goodtime. It made my cheeks hurt in the best way and my spirits lighter. Highly recommend.

Thank you to Random House Publishing Group - Random House, Dial Press Trade Paperback, and NetGalley for providing an eARC for a honest review.

This book was absolutely magical - pun intended - it was so sweet, funny, charming, and cute! But it also had some depth and great character development. It was an easy read and I was overwhelmed by its cheesiness! I LOVED every minute I spent reading it!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

Can I give this book a million stars? Because it needs a million stars. I’ve been giggling over this book all day. When I wasn’t reading it, I was wishing I was reading it. I preordered the book 50% of the way through my eARC.

First, the writing is fun and entertaining. What hooked me immediately was the humor. And it definitely gives you a huge romcom feel. I loved the little glimpse of the relationship between Gemma and Dax that you get to see. You saw how strong their friendship is, and how much Gemma relies on him.

And then BAM. Gemma is now in a world where Dax has no idea who she is. I am a reader that THRIVES on character interactions, so I was interested to see how much I would like this book since they were starting over from scratch. Let me tell you, the moment they first “meet,” I was hooked. They obviously have incredible chemistry. And their interactions had me climbing up a wall.

Gemma goes through some major character development and learns to trust herself while also learning that maybe what she needed was in front of her the entire time.

This book is steamy, funny, and so so so cute. You don’t want to miss out on this one.

I loved this book! It was the perfect cozy rom-com. It’s the perfect book to read by the fire on a chilly evening. If you are looking for a little magic, check out this book!

Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved this book!!! I have never read anything like it before and I enjoyed every second of it. The story is so unique and gripping, I did not want to put the book down!

Have you ever wonder how different your life would be if you hadn't made certain choices? Like if you had chosen a different career path? If you had attended a different university? If you hadn't dated a particular person? This book explores those themes, entering a different timeline where your life is slightly altered based off certain life choices you made along the way. It's so interesting, so refreshingly different, so incredibly executed and such an amazing read. I seriously could not get enough of this book. I loved Gem and Dax and all the side characters. This book was the perfect amount of spice, with a gripping plot and amazing characters.

This book releases December 5, 2023 - PREORDER YOUR COPY NOW!!! SERIOUSLY!! READ IT! ITS SO GOOD!!!

I enjoyed this book for what it was… but I thought it was going to be way more witchy based on the title. The plot is unique with the multiple dimensions, but the only witchy aspect of the entire book was one spell being cast in the beginning and the end. Had I better understood what the book was about I may have given it more stars, I just thought it was a bit misleading. If you read this, just know it’s not a comfy, cozy witch read. The romance aspect was cute, though!

I received this as an ARC on NetGalley

What a sweet book. I got big "Kate Clayborne" vibes from this one. I loved that Gemma had to work on herself and do some soul searching about who she is and what she deserved in a relationship. I loved that Dax was hopelessly in love with her, but started working on himself. I loved that they were working on being the best individuals they could be, knowing that would make their relationship whole. Just a sweet read.

I loved this so much, it’s a fantastic read, so warm, cosy, just a great romcom. The story is fun, fast paced and addictive to read, I would think I’ll just read one chapter or so and I’d be there an hour later. It’s full of wonderful humour, the banter and snark, sass is just top class. If you are looking for a quirky, unique , cute read with some steam this one is definitely for you, it was for me

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

A really adorable and cozy rom-com. This book had me laughing all throughout. For me the dialogue is the real star all throughout the story. Conversations didn't seem forced, they flowed well, and the banter was just really freaking funny. This is definitely a comfort read.

Broken hearted beauty buyer Gemma Wilde just wants to erase the last four years she’s spent with her ex. After a night of too much tequila, Gemma, her Aunti Livi, sister Kiersten, and best friend Dax perform a spell to make it so that she never met her ex-boyfriend. Believing the spell is only a bit of fun to help mend her heart, Gemma heads to bed only to awaken to a completely altered reality. A reality where her best friend has no idea who she is, but her dream of owning her own successful beauty business has come true. Gemma immediately sets out to recreate her friendship with Dax, but feelings have changed and she finds herself falling in love with her friend. This new reality is looking better and better to Gemma until she finds out that Dax’s business and life have been upended by their revised history. Now Gemma has to decide if she should stay in her perfect reality forever or give it all up to help Dax.

Kate Robb has written a sweet, emotional friends to lovers gem of a story. Gemma and Dax’s friendship turned romantic relationship was so supportive and grounded. They were both willing to sacrifice so much for each other. The heart of this book was definitely the connections between all the characters. Aunt Livi and Kiersten were a hoot and provided the needed comedic relief. It was great to see such strong family bonds. The alternate reality premise was a fun little twist on a second chance romance. Who wouldn’t want to see what their life would be like if they had made a different choice? Gemma’s choice to remain in the new reality or return to the old one provided much of the book’s tension and angst. It forced her to make some tough decisions, especially hard for someone who craves stability in all aspects of her life. A well written, warm fuzzy novel.

Thanks to NetGalley for an arc of this book. This book was so dreamy. For me, it was the book equivalent of watching the movies "Sabrina," "Practical Magic," and "Hocus Pocus." The cutest little love story you ever did see. With SPICE. I gave this one a 5/5 overall and a 4/5 for spice. I couldn't put this book down and read it in about a day. For a debut novel, it was a home run for me. I'm very excited to see what else this author publishes because this was so good.

Obsessed with this book! Kate knocked it out of the park. This is a "I've loved you all along" book and it will have you reading nonstop.. The main character is determined and takes charge. This Spells Love is a great read.

I loved this story!! The spell vibes were it. My favorite part was when she wakes up and realizes she’s in another “dimension”. The story is amazing. I laughed and enjoyed myself. I was having a bit of heart palpitations towards the end. It was a great resolution to a great story.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind absolutely shattered me when I first saw it, but after my own difficult breakup, I wished I could just Eternal Sunshine my ex to save myself the pain. This Spells Love has a similar premise, but it is delivered in a sweeter package.

Gemma has just gotten out of a 4 year relationship. In a drunken state, she decides to take a chance on a love reversal spell she discovered in a second-hand book. She wishes she had never met her ex, and her wish sets her on a path in a parallel universe where she hasn’t met her best friend, Dax, yet. The Gemma in her *new* parallel universe is a risk-taker: she owns her own small business, is quite the dater, and she even decides to push her relationship with Dax from friendship to something more. But, as time marches on in her new reality, Gemma sets off her own Butterfly Effect that affects the people she loves and cares about most.

Fans of Christina Lauren’s In a Holidaze will undoubtedly adore Gemma and Dax’s story in This Spells Love.

This book checked off so many things on my list!

Main character wakes up in a time-loop/parallel universe? Check!

Friends to lovers? Check!

He fell first? Check!

Spicy scenes? Check!

Sisterly love? Check!

If you’re a fan of time-loops, friends to lovers, or just a lovely (and spicy) love story, you’ll love This Spells Love!

You don't know what you have until you've lost it.

In an attempt to earse her ex boyfriend from the last 4 years of her life, Gemma, her aunt and her sister complete a freaky Friday spell that inadvertently changes everything about the past 4 years, but also erases her best friend Dax from her past as well. She's then on a mission to get Dax back, and try and reverse the curse. But as she lives in this alternate reality, she begins to see that Dax may be more than she ever thought.

This Spells Love had me hooked from the beginning. It was quirky, cute, steamy, and the characters were so much fun. I found myself swooning over Dax the whole time. He's funny, smart, kind, playful, and truly makes the best friend for Gemma. I struggled to decide if I wanted Gemma to fix the curse or continue living in her new alternate reality, because their chemistry is fire!

This book had me laughing out loud, and I could not put it down. It really makes you question how changing one small detail can alter the entire course of not only your life, but everyone else's as well.

An alcoholic love cleanse spell gone wrong give Gemma a glimpse at her life if she had not dated her dreaded ex. It is a 13 going on 30 where she meets up with her best friend Daxon in an alternative future but her whole life is different. This type of story is so fun and really makes for a quick enjoyable read.

I truly love the idea of getting a peak at what choices in your life could make happen.. Gemma is a type A no nonsense, reading the ending of the book so you aren't disappointed kinda of girl, but what if she hadn't dated her boring boyfriend and instead pursued her dreams what were her life look like. She would learn to sail, make new friends, try new things and make her dream of her own beauty store a reality. But is everyone's reality for the better?

I love the alternative reality of this story and I love her sister and Aunt for their support and love of Gemma. I love Daxon's cousins and the whole curling team scenes. I love that she gets to fall in love with her best friend Daxon who is perfect for Gemma. They are kinda of couple goals. I love that she knew him but learned all new things about him also.

This whole story was excellent. Beautifully told and really fun to read. I loved watching Gemma learn to be herself and not rely on others. Would recommend to anyone that like Friends to Lovers, rom com with zany side character.

This was a quick and comforting read. The characters are lovable and a little quirky. The romance was cute but I did have somewhat of a hard time staying engaged. Nonetheless, it is the perfect book for a Sunday feel-good reading session.

Thank you Netgalley and Random House Publishing for the arc of This Spells Love by debut author Kate Robb. I loved this book and devoured it in a day. It’s a fun chicklit book about a fork in the road and the option originally not taken. It has a bit of magic in it. Such a fun book about Gemma whose relationship of 4 years with Stuart ends and she cries to her sister and eccentric aunt Livi and they do a spell. Next thing she is in the alternate reality as of if she didn’t date Stuart. I can’t wait to see what else this debut author writes.

Thank you NetGalley for this early copy! A cute rom com, I enjoyed the take on the sliding door fantasy. However, the internal dialogue of the main character was way too horny for my taste and I found it to be very repetitive / boring! By the last third of the book, I was skimming to finish.
