A Tale of Mirth and Magic by Kristen Vale
4.0
adventurous funny lighthearted

Considering this has a trope that hardly ever works for me - roadtrip - I had a great time with this.  The characters were fun and quirky. You could really believe this fae and half-giant were real and falling in love right in front of you.  Cozy fantasy can be hit or miss for me too, but I've never read a spicy cozy fantasy! I think that's the right combo for any cozy fantasy not written by Travis Baldree - at least for me.  If you like Kimberly Lemming or Ruby Dixon, but find the spice level just a touch too high, then this may be one to give a try.
