Fake Dating a Witch by Brigid Hunt
I've never read a Fake Dating story where the characters didn't fall in love and have their HEA. I think it would be hard to write a good romance, with the fake dating trope, and the characters didn't fall in love. How would they get their HEA? Something to think about, and I would be interested to read. Anyways, we know that with Romance novels, we will get our HEA, and typically the two main characters fall in love, and in fake dating stories where they swear no feelings, there are always feelings. But we keep reading. I do. And it's because each author, each story, each character even gives us a new idea, a new set of circumstances for falling in love.
Enough existential musing, I loved Fake Dating a Witch! I'd hesitate to call it paranormal, it's like reality adjacent. Regular setting with witches using their magic out in the open. And I love the idea! Owl's Cove feels like a wonderful place.
Sirona is bisexual, and we get a look at some of the difficulties that bisexual humans run into. Nana wants grandkids and only sees one path for that. Her family seems to shrug off her relationships with anyone who isn't a cis-man.
The intense, immediate connection between Sirona and Grant is soooooooo wonderful! Their chemistry is off the charts, and the steam!!!!
The magical elements are great, and well thought out. As a reader, we just go along with the story, there isn't any confusion and that is a gift! Brigid Hunt gives us a spectacular series opener. I want to read more immediately!
I received an advance review copy for free from the author, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
