Goodreads Synopsis:
Elly Blair welcomes the chance to escape her ex-fiance and job from hell when Grandma Imelda, ready to retire to sunny Florida, calls for her to take over her little southern cafe.
Elly has no idea her grandmother has baked up magic for the unsuspecting townsfolk for thirty years-and now Grandma Imelda insists that Elly use her own hitherto unsuspected magical powers to carry on the family tradition.
But Elly's new at this stuff. Her dishes don't turn out as full of smidgens of enchantment and dashes of wishes come true as she'd hoped. When handsome customer Rory Covington takes a bite of the wrong burger, he ends up capturing the attention of every woman in town. Elly doesn't know if her feelings for Rory are true or based on her magic gone awry.
Tom Owenton is an investigator the National Organization for Magic sent to look into the magical mishap. Unless Elly can reverse the spell, the cafe will be closed permanently. Tom is more than willing to help Elly out of this magical pickle, but she's not sure she should accept his offer.
Elly only has forty-eight hours to find a way to reverse the spell, or she'll lose the cafe and never discover if her feelings for Rory are real.
Review:
I got this book for free off of Amazon a while back and I was interested in it because it is a modern-esq take on witches in the world and that seemed fun (and the cover was bright and fun). So...sometimes when I am reading in bed at night I feel bad for leaving the light on and reading a physical book, so I started reading this on my phone while my husband sleeps but I can't fall asleep. This was a great book for that purpose.
Since it wasn't a review book, I had all the time I needed to read it slowly and I could pick it up when I was in between books etc. I read it slowly and when I could and that was nice. The book has good pacing and while I read it slowly, there was enough plot to keep it moving steadily forward. It is a categorized as a Paranormal Romance but it was a clean romance. I really liked the main character she was relatable and had been through some things and your felt that as she learns how to navigate this new life and the cafe.
If you are looking for something fun and light, and like romance and a bit of magic this is a fun one to pick up.
I do have to note, that I did notice a few typos in the edition I had though, so if that is going to bother you - steer clear.
