Such a cute story! This book is about the MFC named Rune and MMC Donovan. Our MFC is a seer who can see visions of the future. When she sees the future and see something bad happening on their wedding day, she makes sure to push him away in order to protect him. All the side characters are fun. The story of her past is pretty traumatic and sad.

If you love a sweet small town romance (that will make you cry for the FMC), with a dash Fantasy, I totally recommend this book.

Rune is our Heroine in this small town Romantasy, and she is a seer who carries Casandra's curse of no one believing her. Her story made me cry so often I just felt for her, the author made me love her straight away with her background and I just wanted to reach in a hug her. (please read trigger warnings).

In addition to this we have Donovan and his brother Officer Asshat, a dynamic I loved as it came out throughout the story, though the need to strangle Asshat was there often.

Overall I loved this book and think anyone who loves a a good meet cute romance with a fantasy background.

Sapphire Springs is a small town that is charming and close-knit. From the get-go, I immediately loved Rune - I thought she was funny and genuine, and she was admirable for trying to prevent her deadly visions from happening even when no one appreciated her actions. Donovan is an organized, animal-lover, Rune-obsessed softie in the midst of all the chaos (when he arranges the perfect workspace for her - SWOON). I was a little miffed by Donovan and Rune's sudden all-consuming love for each other - I felt like it was a little too soon considering they had just met a day ago. My favorite moments between them are when she makes him blush and stutter - their chemistry and banter is so on point. I did get annoyed with Donovan at times when he doesn't believe Rune's magic because of her curse, but I wish he believed her anyway because of his love and trust for her.

My favorite part of the book is the towns people - they are all unique side characters, and I especially am such a fan of the Sinsters.

Thank you to Black Orchid Books and NetGalley for the ARC!

I feel like there is more chemistry between Rune and Coop. But, no judgement, review will come up when I finish it. I'm at 35%
