One of Amazon's Best Romances of April!Enemies-to-lovers has never been more enchanting in this witchy romantic comedy from the New York Times bestselling author of Go Hex Yourself. Penny Roundtree wants nothing more than to be a familiar to a witch. She’s been a member of the Society of Familiars ever since she was old enough to join the Fam. There’s just a small problem—no one’s hiring. Witches and warlocks are so long-lived that there are far more familiars available than witches to train them. So when an unorthodox arrangement to apprentice under the table to a forbidden warlock presents itself, she takes it. Willem Sauer is banned from having a familiar due to past transgressions, thereby limiting his magic-casting abilities. Unfortunately for the surly, Prussian warlock, he has no choice but to work with enthusiastic Penny as a familiar. They immediately clash like dried roan horsehair and honeycomb gathered by moonlight (it’s a terrible spell combination, ask anyone). Casting spells has delightful perks Penny never could have dreamed of, but also greater dangers. Someone is targeting Penny. Willem and Penny must work together to catch their enemy, and if their ploy requires a little kissing on the side, who is to question the rules of magic?

"Fun, engaging, mostly light enemies-to-lovers romance I liked instantly! It has the same spirit as the previous book of the author, Go Hex Yourself. That one was based on Kaylo & Rey from Star Wars, if I'm not mistaken, and this romance was probably inspired by Rose and Hux, but their characters in the book are very different and way more likable. I really enjoyed the flow, the witchy atmosphere, and the whole corporate-warlock-wearing-Gucci-suits. It's a lovely romance. Bonus points for just the right amount of spice."

"No just no... The characters are not very well written. Everyone talks about grumpy sunshine but holy crap do they leave out this is fake dating. If you don't like fake dating don't read this. Also her friends are ****. <br/><br/>Lastly fake pregnancy is not a clencher theme in a book to make something make sense. <br/><br/><br/>I hated this whole thing, which is so disappointing because I loved the first book I am unsure if I will continue with the rest of the series at this point.<br/><br/>Side note: The audiobook has pros and cons I was able to ignore how irritatingly annoying and completely nonsensical the FMC was while physically reading, however I enjoyed the MMC in audiobook form. Take what you want from that."
