Elle Jones is a free-spirited astrologer with a huge social media following and who believes in the all the magic surrounding the soul-mate myths. She agrees to a blind date with Darcy Lowell, her business partner’s sister. Darcy has long ago given up any belief in love and soul mates and has turned into an uptight, controlling, ice queen who agreed to go out to please her brother. What could possibly go wrong with that? Only everything. After spilling wine on Darcy’s expensive vintage dress, Elle flees the bar. Both women are tired of being judged for being single, both women want their friends and family to stop trying to fix them up only to be ignored. When Darcy’s brother asks her how the date went, she intentionally lets him believe that it had been a success. She believes that will be the end of his meddling in her love life. Yeah, right. When Darcy’s brother tells Elle how happy he is that she and his sister hit it off, Elle is left wondering what Darcy’s up to. When confronted by Elle, Darcy admits to what she’s done and asks Elle to go along with until the end of the year. They work out the details. But then something miraculous occurs – both women begin to care for the other.

This is a well-written lesbian romance with two complex characters that the reader can love and root for. The storyline is plausible and well-executed.

If you love romance, soul mates, humor, and feel good writing. this is the book for you. You’ll find yourself reading into the wee hours of the morning unwilling to say goodnight to Darcy and Elle.

My thanks to Avon Books and Edelweiss for an eARC.
