Love brews where you least expect it
A cozy, magical romance with heart, humor and a teddy bear of an orc you can’t help but fall for.
Mariah, a determined innkeeper with a pixie dust mite problem, teams up with her old high school bully, now a reformed brewmaster, for a fake engagement that spirals into something real. Their banter and chemistry is perfection, with just enough emotional depth to make it stick.
Set in the charming town of Elderberry Falls, the world is whimsical without being overwhelming and delivers all the warm vibes of a comfort read. The spicy scenes... though hot, due to the nature of their past was a little weird for me, personally, but it was not so bad that it took me out of the story completely.
I enjoyed this immensely and will be reading the other books in the series.
