Genre: Romantic Comedy

He was supposed to be one kiss…not the neighbor across the street.

As the children’s librarian in Autumn Ridge, Emma spends her days surrounded by happy endings. But between restoring her old farmhouse, keeping her family together, and searching for a decent man in a very small town, her own romance feels permanently shelved.

Then one impulsive night at a bar, she kisses Carson Price—the popular guy she crushed on in high school.

For Emma, it’s a reckless little dream come true.

For Carson, it’s a fun night with a beautiful woman he never expects to see again.

Until the next morning… when he moves in across the street.

Newly divorced, cynical, and focused on raising his daughter while rebuilding the dental practice he just bought, Carson has no interest in love. Marriage? Never again. Romance? Absolutely not.

Friendship with his warm, bookish, unexpectedly tempting neighbor? That might be safe enough.

Except Emma has never been good at doing anything halfway. And the more he lets her into his life, the harder it is for either of them to pretend friendship is all this is.

She’s ready to fall. He’s determined not to. But in a small town, staying just friends might be the hardest thing of all. Falling for Keeps is a sweet, single dad, sworn-off love romantic comedy set in the small town of Autumn Ridge.**This book is part of the Falling for Autumn series, eight interconnected stand-alone novels written by eight amazing authors. They can be enjoyed in any order.

Book Review:

This was adorable! I was so excited to start this story and it was so good! Emma and Carson were so sweet together and I loved Penny. Autumn Ridge is so cozy and so fun to return to.

Emma was so sweet! I definitely related to her as a fellow book lover and an oldest daughter myself! She was constantly doing things for others and trying to care for them. Emma was learning how to let others help her. She was looking for her Happily Ever After, but felt a bit stuck. Carson was adorable! I loved how he took care of Emma and how tangible it was. He was thoughtful and so sweet. Carson was also an incredible dad to Penny! He so obviously prioritized her and so many of his choices were centered around her. Carson felt the weight of returning home divorced and needing a fresh start. He was determined not to fall in love, but felt so drawn to Emma.

I loved Emma and Carson together! It was so sweet to watch them work together on the clinic and how he showed up for her. I also loved the way Emma connected with Penny! Emma was so genuine in wanting to support her and help her. Penny was definitely one of my favorite characters in this, but I also loved seeing all the characters in a different POV. Having the opportunity to read multiple books in the series really adds to the depth of the world! This is a sweet romcom with only kisses.

The Fall Classic

About the Book:

The Fall Classic: A Cinderella Sports Romcom (Catching Feelings Book 4)

Title: The Fall Classic
Series: Catching Feelings #4
Author: Kate Watson
Release Date: September 18th, 2026
Genre: Romantic Comedy

He spent six months looking for the beautiful, bookish girl who dropped a patch.
Finding her was the easy part.

Logan

I grip too hard.

My pitch. My family. Even the memory of Georgie, the girl I met six months ago at a Spring Training fan event. The girl with the dimpled smile, the coffee-shop patch pinned to her Chucks, and a beat-up paperback in her hands.

While I should be working on the spiraling anxiety wrecking my pitch, I find myself looking for Georgie instead. In every ballpark. Every coffee shop. Every city our team passes through.

Then I get sent down to the minors, walk into a coffee shop that feels like home—
And there she is.

Suddenly, my anxiety takes a back seat to the gorgeous girl who wears her grief like a badge of honor instead of something to hide.

But when you’ve spent your whole life gripping the things you’re afraid to lose, how do you know the difference between holding someone…

and holding on too hard?

Georgie

A dream is a wish that breaks your heart, which is why I don’t let myself dream.

My mother’s gone. My stepmother runs her coffee shop now. And I stopped believing in more a long time ago.

Then a handsome baseball player spends thirty minutes talking books with me, and I spend six months trying to forget him. Until one night, he walks into my coffee shop with my name already on his lips, and suddenly, I can’t make my heart stop wanting things I know I can’t have.

Somewhere between bookish debates, quinceañera dance floors, and a Jeep the color of a pumpkin, I start letting myself believe.

But when Logan gets called up to the Majors in time for the World Series—the Fall Classic itself—everything changes.

He’s about to live the dream he’s chased his whole life.
I’ve limited mine to this sleepy Southern town.

It’s classic, all right.
Classic heartbreak.

The Fall Classic is a deliciously swoony, closed-door baseball rom-com with laugh-out-loud banter, slow-burn chemistry, small-town charm, and found family, all with no explicit content. Books in the Catching Feelings series can be read in any order.

Book Review:

Oh, this was so good! It hurt my heart at times but I loved getting to know these characters. The Fall Classic is the fifth book in Kate Watson’s Catching Feelings series. We finally get to see Logan’s perspectives and boy did he need his own book. Logan and Georgie were both struggling in different ways and I loved how they found their person in each other. 

I felt for both Logan and Georgie, they were both going through so much. I loved how real they felt. They had to learn to overcome their struggles and find the strength to move on. I was cheering for them as they figured out what they wanted. Logan was such a sweetheart. It was nice to finally get to see more behind his fears and really see him. I loved his growth throughout the book and how thoughtful he was. Georgie was also a lovely character. She was so strong and yet people had been bringing her down. I loved seeing her learn to stand up for herself. 

The romance was sweet, it was slow burn. Both Georige and Logan needed to take it slow as they learned more about themselves, but they definitely fell hard. I loved their relationship and how they encouraged each other. They became each other’s safe place. The story was interesting. It was fun to see different sides of baseball and read about Georgie running a coffee truck. I loved seeing some of the old characters too. 

I would totally recommend The Fall Classic! The characters were lovable and I didn’t want to put the book down. I am excited to see what will come next in the series! The Fall Classic is a closed door romantic comedy. 

What I loved:

The realness of the characters

Facing fears and anxiety 

Being brave

Family and sibling chats

Coffee

Baseball and books

The Faithful Cowboy

About the Book:

The Faithful Cowboy: A Sweet Western Historical Romance (Noble Ranch Book 4)

Title: The Faithful Cowboy
Series: Noble Ranch #4
Author: Jody Hedlund
Publisher: Northern Lights Press
Release Date: December 8th, 2026
Genre: Historical Romance

As a widow with young children, rancher Lottie Wilkes is determined to do two things. First, she’s determined not to get married again so that she doesn’t become like her fickle mother, who’s had many husbands. Second, Lottie wants to prosper and protect her ranch, which is proving hard to do against those who think there’s no place for women in ranching.

Jameson Noble has been a drifting cowboy since the day he ran away from home after a falling-out with his family. As he arrives at the Longhorn Ranch hoping for work, he finds himself in the middle of a gun battle, helping the beautiful ranch owner fend off the neighbor, who’s been harassing her.

Grateful for the assistance, Lottie agrees to hire Jameson for a month, which is as long as he’s willing to stay. His steady and faithful presence wins over her sons, and it’s not long before she’s falling for the drifter too. When her boys beg her to convince Jameson to be their new father, she refuses to consider love and remarriage . . . until it’s too late and she stands to lose everything.

  • Drifter
  • Cowboy for hire
  • Wounded hero
  • Prodigal hero
  • Strong and independent heroine
  • Widow with children
  • Pretend marriage turns into more

The inspirational themes in this book are light, and the romance is the primary focus. While the romance is sizzling and the kisses swoony, both the language and physical attraction are clean and wholesome.

Book Review:

Oh, this was such an interesting book. I was excited to get to read Jameson’s book and it did not disappoint. The Faithful Cowboy is the 4th book in Jody Hedlund’s Noble Ranch series. We got to see hints of Jameeson but it was cool to learn more about him. 

Jameson was angry and just trying to figure out his place. He had left his own and hadn’t looked back. Lottie was trying to protect her land and her children. They weren’t looking for love but they found themselves drawn to each other as Jameson worked on Lottie’s land.

Jameson and Lottie were definitely attracted to each other but it was sweet to read about them falling in love. The plot was also interesting. I didn’t know if Jameson would stay and then the twist at the end definitely had me on the edge of my seat. I really liked how Jameson sought to protect Lottie and her boys. I adored Lottie’s boys! They were so sweet and they really looked up to Jameson. 

This was a fun book! I enjoyed reading it and I would recommend it to those who enjoy historical romances. I am super excited for the next book! The Faithful Cowboy is a closed door historical romance. 

What I liked:

The character growth

Family 

Lottie’s boys

Jameson and Lottie together

Resisting the Fall

About the Book:

Resisting the Fall: A Sweet and Cozy Fall Romantic Comedy

Title: Resisting the Fall
Series: Falling for Autumn #3
Author: Jess Heileman
Release Date: August 26th, 2026
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Their divorce never finalized. Neither did their feelings.

The discovery that I was still legally married — years after I thought my divorce was final — was supposed to be the worst thing to happen to me this fall.

It wasn’t.

Because apparently the state of Vermont believes in closure. And no regrets. And court-ordered thirty-day reconciliation efforts. So now, in order to fast-track my divorce from Bennett Walker—my high school sweetheart and the man who walked out on our marriage six years ago—I’m being forced back to the small town we grew up in to spend an entire month proving our relationship isn’t worth saving.

A situation Ben annoyingly finds amusing.

Which is why I plan to make this the most memorable, insufferable, torturous thirty days of his life. As a prank-loving aficionado, I have countless ideas about how to drive Ben crazy while keeping myself focused on the goal: finalizing our divorce.

With my life in New York and a career I absolutely love, not even deeply embedded habits and old feelings can threaten my resolve.

I’m resolved.

So resolved.

Absolutely, definitely, one hundred percent resolved. And if I keep saying it, maybe this time around, I’ll be capable of resisting the fall.

Book Review:

This was a cozy second-chance romance in the Falling for Autumn series! I was so excited to return to Autumn Ridge. I have been loving this series and was so excited to read Maven and Ben’s story.

It was really fun to have the mix of POVs and timeline. We really get to see Maven and Ben’s relationship unfold as well as how they reconnect. I loved reading about how they grew up together and the development of their relationship. They were adorable as kids and I loved the insight into their families as well. The past is in Ben’s POV and it was so sweet to see their growth through his eyes.

Maven was quite spunky! I loved her energy, but it took me a bit to understand her. She was so frustrated with Ben and yet she still cared so deeply. I am not a pranks person, so some of that made me cringe a bit, but it was pretty funny! The present narration is in her POV and I felt for her as she struggled with reconciling her past and present. 

Autumn Ridge is adorable and I love both Maven and Ben’s families! Carson and Penny were adorable and I am excited to read more about them! It was also really fun to see Ben and his brothers. His parents were so sweet too. The town is full of quirky and meddling characters that are so fun to see. This charming romcom is full of heart and pranks! It has only kisses.

In Every Chapter

About the Book:

In Every Chapter: A Sweet Amnesia Rom-Com (The Reluctant Romantics)

Title: In Every Chapter
Series: The Reluctant Romantics: #2
Author: Morgan Taylor Giesbrecth
Release Date: May 29th, 2026
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Like my favourite bookish heroines, I found the love of a lifetime, except I can’t remember how…

Paisley:
My summer plans were simple. Kiss my husband, snuggle my dog, and create an elite reading list for the library. Losing seven years’ worth of memories after near-death by window artistry, thanks to my klutzy nature? Absolutely not part of the plan.

In one short day, I went from stealing kisses with Greyson to waking up in the hospital to a handsome stranger—the man I forgot I married. Every memory of us is a blank slate, and I’m in the middle of a life I dreamed of but can’t remember.

But there are three things I’m sure of:

  1. I have no intention of letting a man break my heart again
  2. For all his grumpiness, Greyson has a heart of gold. Better than any fictional hero
  3. And my heart is very much in danger of falling in love again…with my husband

Greyson:

My time in the Marines didn’t prepare me for this kind of campaign—Operation Woo My Wife. Of all the nightmares I’ve struggled with since my last mission overseas, Paisley forgetting me was never one of them.

Competing against old and forgotten memories brings its own kind of challenges, but I’m not giving up. She already has my heart. I just need to win hers back.

Because I can’t fail her again.
I want to be the hero she remembers.

In Every Chapter is an amnesia rom-com featuring an already married couple refalling in love, plenty of heartfelt healing, everyday faith, swoony banter, and laugh aloud small town shenanigans—all without the spice.

Book Review:

Ah, this was just as good as I had hoped. I am so glad that I found Morgan Taylor Giesbrecht’s books, they have been so good! In Every Chapter is the second book in Morgan Taylor Giesbrecht’s The Reluctant Romantics series. I was so excited to read Greyson and Paisley’s book, and boy were they going through a lot.

I felt for both Greyson and Paisley as they tried to navigate their relationship and feelings. They had fallen in love a couple of years ago but an incident with amnesia found them close to strangers. I loved both Greyson and Paisley! It was sweet to read about Greyson trying to win Paisley while also respecting her feelings. Paisley wasn’t sure how to feel about Greyson but I loved how she never gave up. Their romance was the sweetest and I loved how they tried to talk to each other. 

I loved this book and I am so excited for the books to come! Everyone needs their own stories. It was also fun to see some old characters. I would totally recommend this book! In Every Chapter is a closed door contemporary romance. It is a sweet romance but it also deals with real problems and feelings. 

What I loved about this book:

Found family 

Friend groups

He takes care of her

She’s a librarian 

Cute puppy

Learning to grow 

Overcoming fears

Content Warnings: 

Infertility, military PTSD and injuries, nightmares, domestic abuse (previous relationship, off-screen), alcoholic mother, parental neglect, growing up in foster care, and grief.

Defensive Indiffence

About the Book:

Defensive Indifference: A Savannah Sharks Baseball Romance (Southern Sports Sweethearts Book 4)

Title: Defensive Indifference
Series: Southern Sports Sweethearts
Author: M J Padgett
Release Date: September 25th, 2026
Genre: Contemporary Romance

When life gives you fresh out of the oven donuts, it’s probably not a good idea to drop them on the swoony baseball player’s lap.

After a very public incident, all pro-baseball player Koa Keaton wants is to be left alone. But everywhere he goes, reporters flash cameras in his face, begging for a statement about his crumbling life. When Koa dips into a local donut shop to escape the entourage of stalkers, he doesn’t expect to find yet another groupie desperate for his attention.

Evalina Renn has enough on her plate with a young child, a struggling business, and a stack of never ending bills. The last thing she needs is to deal with a cocky baseball player who thinks he’s too special to sign a simple autograph, even if he is her son’s favorite Savannah Sharks player. Still, she doesn’t mean to accidentally dump a scalding hot stack of donuts onto his lap, leaving the star player covered in chocolate frosting.

Koa isn’t proud of his overreaction to the waitress, especially when it ends up on every local news outlet. To top it off, the woman refuses to accept his apology. His repeated attempts to make things right are met by slamming doors, frustrated groans, and utter humiliation. The worst part is he can’t stop thinking about her and what it might be like to kiss her until she smiles.

Defensive Indifference is a sweet, meet disaster, enemies to lovers romance with faith elements and a side of comedy!

Book Review:

Oh, I have been waiting for the next book in this series. I adore M. J. Padgett’s books and this series have been so fun! Defensive Indifference is the fourth book in M.J. Padgett’s Southern Sports Sweetheart. This follows Koa who is a baseball player. 

Poor Koa, he was struggling. His whole world was upended and he was not handling it well. Koa seemed a bit hotheaded at times but he was trying to learn from his mistakes. It was interesting to get to know him better and see how he truly did care for those in his circle. Evalina was just trying her best. She wanted to provide the best life for her son, Dustin, but she was struggling. Evalina was a bit frustrating at times but I understood her. 

Koa and Evalina definitely got off on the wrong foot but they came to understand each other. They both had some growing to do as they learned to forgive and move forward. Their interactions made sense but it did lead them to some fights which may or may not have included donuts. Koa and Evalina were definitely entertaining as they learned to put aside their differences. However they truly did go to love and understand each other. I love the way that Koa tried to help and support Evalina. 

The romance was sweet and slow burn. The plot was so interesting! Koa’s family situation was engaging and I wanted to see how everything would work out. I also loved reading about Koa connecting with Dustin. The side characters were a lot of fun! I see hints of new books. I really enjoyed this and I would definitely recommend it! Defensive Indifference is a closed door romantic comedy. 

What I loved:

Redemption and forgiveness

New characters

The baseball team 

Koa’s sister and Spencer!

Dustin interacting with Koa

Baking!

Single mom who works hard

Autumn on My Mind: a cozy fall romance

Title: Autumn on My Mind
Series: Falling for Autumn #2
Author: Gracie Ruth Mitchell
Release Date: August 19th, 2026
Genre: Romantic Comedy

When Reese and Dominic secretly dated and then broke up years ago, they knew they’d have to see each other again. They were from the same small town of Autumn Ridge, Vermont. Their families still lived there. It was inevitable.

What Reese didn’t expect was to see Dominic across the table from her, being introduced as the son of her mother’s latest boyfriend.

Dom and Reese can be exes. They can be neighbors. They could even maybe someday be friends. What they cannot be is siblings.

But Reese’s mother has her eyes on the prize, and she’s not walking away without a ring on her finger. So even though part of Reese’s heart still hurts from the past they share, she and Dominic agree to team up and separate their parents.

Spying? A necessity. Sneaking around? Obviously. And sabotage? Well…never say never.

But the further apart they attempt to push their parents, the closer Reese and Dom get—until the lines between past and present begin to blur, and they find themselves with the stickiest conundrum of all: owning the truth of what really happened between them…and deciding if their love deserves a second chance..
.

This book is part of the Falling for Autumn series, eight interconnected standalones written by eight amazing authors:

Book Review:

I was so excited for this series and visiting this cozy fall town! It was quite the ride and I was quickly absorbed in Reese and Dominic’s story!

I really felt for Reese! She was going through it! Reese really struggled with her relationship with her mother and it spilled into so many of her choices. It affected how she viewed herself and how she made decisions. Reese was all heart and I loved her optimism. She was constantly hoping for the best solution, but it sometimes left her holding on longer than she should. Throughout the story, Dominic was a safe place for her despite their painful past. He allowed her space to feel and to process. I also really empathized with Dominic. Their history had really hurt him and he was trying to keep his distance. I loved how he cared for Reese and how practical his care was. 

Reese and Dominic got into some crazy shenanigans trying to break up their Alvina and Daryl. Honestly, I was cringing a bit, but I have a low tolerance for that kind of thing. It forced them together and I loved how their past slowly unfolded throughout the story. The flashbacks really gave context to their relationship and how deeply it affected them. There were a lot of quirky side characters too! I loved Farmer Joe and the pumpkin patch. Alvina was quite the character and definitely a lot to handle! I really appreciated Reese’s friends and am excited to read more of this series! I loved Autumn Ridge! It was so cozy and had such fun fall vibes.This is a contemporary romcom with some passionate kisses and innuendo.

One Wild Chance

About the Book:

One Wild Chance: A Sweet Small Town Cowboy Romance (Chance Brothers Ranch Book 1)

Title: Once Wild Chance
Series: Chance Brothers #1
Author: Grace Worthington
Release Date: September 2nd, 2026
Genre: Romantic Comedy

She isn’t supposed to care about the ranch.
She definitely isn’t supposed to fall for the oldest Chance brother.
And she’s absolutely not supposed to trust him with her heart a second time.

Summer Daniels built her life on land she doesn’t own, for a family that could take it back the second Jaxon Chance decides he wants it. Even though she works for Lucky Chance Ranch, Wildflower Farms is hers—the one thing she’s built entirely on her own. She’s got no interest in reliving the past, and even less interest in the infuriating hockey player who broke her heart on his way out the door after high school.

Jaxon Chance built his whole identity on hockey. A career-ending injury just took that away, and it’s sent him back to the last place he ever wanted to be—his family’s horse farm, now failing under a mountain of debt. The only way to save it is to run the place alongside his three brothers, under the terms of a will that gives them no choice.

What he didn’t plan on was Summer Daniels, running her business on his family’s land, making him remember exactly what he walked away from.

But somewhere between their first fight and long days working the horses side by side, something shifts. Summer stops bracing for the day he leaves again. And Jaxon stops pretending he wants to go.

The farm is what brought him home. But she might be the reason he finally stays.

TROPES:
Rivals to lovers
Cowboy romance
Closed door romance
Grumpy sunshine
Second chance
Small town

Book Review:

Ahhh! This was just the perfect start to a new series. I loved The Perfect Crush Hockey Romance and I was so beyond excited for this book. Jaxon deserved his happy ending, although he did try to fight it a bit. One Wild Chance is the first book in Grace Worthington’s Chance Brothers Ranch series. 

Jaxon was struggling to figure out his life. He wasn’t able to play hockey anymore and he found himself back in his hometown. He was a bit of a grump but he had a good heart. He truly cared for his family and he was also honorable. Summer pushed all of Jaxon’s buttons. She had a way of bringing out both his worst and his best. Jaxon had to learn to see the good and figure out what it looks like to work towards his dreams. I loved his growth and the way that he cared for Summer. Although Summer pushed him, she also made him better. 

Summer was stubborn and honestly just trying to make the best of her life. She was feisty. I loved her character and her strength. Life had thrown a lot of curveballs, but I loved how she continued to work hard. She and Jaxon definitely got on each other’s nerves but I love how he truly saw her and supported her. 

The romance was perfect. A bit of enemies to lovers, a bit of second chance romance. Jaxon and Summer had history so they had a lot to work through. I loved Jaxon’s brothers and I am so excited for their books! This was the perfect set up for the books to come. The side characters were also a lot of fun. I really enjoyed this book and I would totally recommend it! One Wild Chance is a closed door romantic comedy. 

What I loved:

Fakeish dating

History 

The ranch and flowers!
Jaxon and his brothers!

Summer’s determination

Enduring Love

About the Book:

Enduring Love: A Maple Run Novel

Title: Enduring Love
Series: A Maple Run Novel #3
Author: Toni Shiloh
Release Date: April 3rd, 2022
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance

“There comes a point in every woman’s life where she must decide what to believe: the truth of the past or the circumstances of the present.”

Belle Peterson is hiding a secret. Seeking sanctuary in the small town of Maple Run, she’s intent on starting her life over—one she hopes honors Christ. The plan was going great until an undeniable attraction to Micah has her wondering if she’s changed at all.

Micah Campbell can’t understand why Belle is so uptight and wants nothing to do with her until the gentle whispers of God tell him to befriend her. He didn’t count on the feeling of protectiveness to rise up or that spark of attraction. When Belle’s past is revealed, Micah prays that his love can endure it.

Book Review:

Enduring Love is the third book in Toni Shiloh’s Maple Run series and I was super excited to read it. I have loved the first two books and I knew that I would enjoy this one. Enduring Love features Belle Peterson, a woman who is seeking sanctuary in Maple Run trying to start her life over. Micah Campbell doesn’t understand Belle or why she is so uptight, but the gentle whispers of God are telling him to befriend her. As they start to get to know each other, an undeniable attraction starts to from but when Belle’s past is revealed will Micah be able to endure it?

Okay, first I have to say that I love the characters that Ms. Shiloh writes. They feel so real and relatable. They have gone through some many different things and yet I feel like they could be my friends. And this book is no different. Belle was trying to run from her past and learn to live in a manner that would honor God. She was just trying her best. I loved reading about Belle’s growth as she learned to trust God and to trust Micah. She still had a lot to go through and demons to fight, but she was doing her best to trust God. 

Micah was such a sweet guy. At first he didn’t like Belle because she reminded him of his ex, but as he got to know her he started to fall in love. I loved how he reached out to her and tried to protect her, but he did on her terms. However he had to learn to forgive and forget, he had to learn how to give up on his bitterness if he wanted to have a relationship with Belle.

Belle and Micah really fit each other and they helped each other grow. They still had some things to work through but they had God and their family to help them through it. I found Micah’s parents super nice and I thought it was cute how quickly they adopted Belle. It was super fun to see the other characters, and I am so ready for Shorty to get his happy ending. 

Enduring Love was great and I would definitely recommend it! I am devouring all of Ms. Shiloh’s books, they are just so good. They have relatable characters, intriguing plots, and a reminder to trust God.

Author: Gabrielle Landi
Release Date: January 23rd, 2026
Genre: Fairytale Retelling

A café owner, her former love, and the curse between them.

Thea Greene has no time for nonsense—especially not from her overly charming landlord who delivers flowers “for the building” and thinks a smile can fix anything. She’s too busy running her business, finding an apprentice, and reminding herself that falling for Nat again is only asking for him to break her heart once more.

Nathaniel Alder wants nothing more than to fix his relationship with Thea, which is difficult when she won’t talk to him. When a wand-wielding maniac turns him into a cat—whiskers, tail, and all—in front of the Cozy Cat Cafe, it’s a blessing and a curse. Being with Thea as a cat isn’t what he planned, but it’s more time and attention than she gave him before.

Can Nat break the curse he’s under and convince Thea that he’s worthy of her trust, or will their second chance at love turn out the same as the first?

Book Review:

I adore cozy fantasy and I love fairytale inspired  stories. This series combines those beautiful and is definitely one of my comfort series. This latest addition was such a sweet read and I flew through it! 

I admired Thea! Although the circumstances were a bit tragic, she had built a new life for herself. I loved the idea of her cafe and so wanted to visit throughout the book! Thea was trying to protect her heart, but Nathaniel was determined to support her in all of her dreams. Nathaniel was a sweetheart! I loved his optimism and thoughtfulness. He cared so deeply for Thea. I also loved seeing his heart for others.

The magic in this story was so fun to see. I love the threads that are connecting between the stories and the hints of future books. It was so charming to see Nathaniel as a cat and I loved getting to see Thea open up to him. This was a perfect cozy read and I flew through it! This fairytale inspired romantasy has only kissing.
