Do you believe in the magic of true love?

Chloe may be the daughter of a sorceress, but her father was a human, and up to now, she has no magical abilities whatsoever. The problem is the town’s future is in her hands.

Enter Luke MacKenzie. He is her one true love, but where do they go from here? He’s pure human, and a cop to top it off. What happens when he finds out what is really going on in Sugar Maple? Their romance develops quickly, but I got so caught up in the story that it was believable. They were meant for each other.

The seconday characters were a great bunch of off-beat friends and neighbors. I was sad about the fate of one of them, though. I really loved Gunnar and wanted him to have his own happily ever after. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like that will happen. On the other, the story continues in Laced with Magic, so maybe with magic, there’s still hope.

Love and magic are knitted together to make this a wonderfully enjoyable, light paranormal romance. You’ll be holding your breath, hoping Chloe will get the happily-ever-after ending she longs for.
