This was my first adult contemporary romance I've ever read, and it was a solid start. I really enjoyed the world in which this narrative was set - modern day with magic - and the particular flavor and situations the author created for it (potions for Viagra, deterrent spells, the ley lines, etc.) which felt both unique and entertaining. I laughed a lot throughout this book. However, she did create these very endearing characters with so much flavor, and I really felt like they weren't explored enough. I wouldn't mind reading more to explore Vivi's cousin Gwyn, or learn about her mom, or spend more time than one scene with Rhys' dad and brothers, who each had interesting motivations and interests and none of which got enough time. It felt really rushed, and a lot of solutions to problems just felt too convenient and easy. So points for flavor and character creation, demerits for execution, I guess. But a funny and fun read nonetheless!
