This is a difficult book to talk about because, while I love Ann Aguirre and I admire her ability to write successfully across multiple genres, this ended up not super working for me. Even though I also fully acknowledge its strengths and I can absolutely see why someone else might love it.The premise here is really charming: the heroine and her cousin are both witches, technomancers specifically, who run a repair shop called Fix-It Witches (so cute) in ye standard American small town. There’s t...

This is a dream’s coming true: a witch heroine: combination of Olivia Pope meets Diana Bishop with magical powers mixing with fixing skills! A literally unconventional cinnamon bun hero ( surprise, surprise : he’s bia, virgin with extremely talented culinary skills) blanketed by sweet-swoon-soft dusty tale makes you feel extremely happy! I loved the idea! I enjoyed the execution! I loved Danica and Titus as a couple! Both of them are so scared to suffer from broken hearts, taking this slow bu...

Oh, this witch book? Thanks, I hated it. Full review at A Book ShrewBig thank you to Raincoast Books for sending me an early copy. I'm just sorry it flopped so hard. A romance trend I've noticed for this upcoming fall is witchy stories! And I couldn't have been more excited about that, especially when this one landed in my lap a couple weeks ago. So imagine how disappointed I was that this started off okay, then completely fell apart in the second half. Best I can describe it? The editor forget

Witch Please by Ann AguirreParanormal romance / romantic comedy. Danica is a witch that can fix machines with her powers. She knows her Grandmother will not allow Danica to have a relationship with a mundane but Titus is irresistibly charming. They make literal sparks with a simple hand touch. Danica appeals to a higher power to give her strength to walk away from Titus and for him to not to be heartbroken. But the two are drawn to each other as if by magic. I loved the banter and charm of this

What an absolute delight of a romance. A cinnamon roll bisexual virgin baker who bakes actual cinnamon rolls? A witch who owns an appliance repair shop with her cousin called "The Fix-It Witches"? The horniest yet sweetest vibes? Casually diverse and queer small-town with a cast of characters who I want to read more more and more about? All of these things just wrapped me up in a warm hug!I am only sad I read this now and have to wait to yell about it with other readers because I loved it so ver...

I’m a little sad about this, because the premise sounded so good. But the romance was pretty lackluster - I didn’t feel the chemistry! I did love the hero’s bakery though.

This was so cheesy and not in a good way. It started off with some Hallmark movie vibes but honestly by the end I was skimming just to get through it. The dialogue felt stiff and the characters felt very one-dimensional. I wanted to love this because who doesn't want a witch rom-com, but it really felt flat.

Did you lean into October reads this year? Usually I just read what I’m in the mood for, but with the library opened back up after a year and a half of only being able to pick up reserved items I make sure to stop in at least once a week and grab allllll the things that catch my eye. That meant everything that made me think of Halloween went into my car. I spoiled myself a bit with this one when I happened upon a real scathing review by another author talking about how problematic it was. When i...

I was looking for a book with fall vibes, so this seemed like a good choice. Witch Please has a really cute cover and I really liked the premise, but sadly it wasn't what I was hoping for. Danica is a witch who falls for a mundane which she has been told her whole life is against the rules for her family. I'll start with my issues. I'm good with immediate attraction, but I tend to prefer slow, tension-building relationships and with Danica and Titus, it all just happened to fast which left nothi...

You know a book really isn’t working for you when it takes over two weeks to finish it. I love the cover, I love the author, I did not love this book. The pacing and plot were all over the place to the point where I was wondering why this book was 350+ pages. I think it would’ve worked better as a short story but that’s just me. Too cutesy, not enough meat to the story.

A fun, witchy romance with a bisexual, virgin baker and forbidden love between a quirky fix-it witch and this mundane cinnamon roll hero. (who also happens to bake delicious cinnamon rolls) This was really cute and funny with several steamy scenes to boot. I really enjoyed the characters and how they came together. Danica is a witch trained by her bigoted grandmother, taught that if she marries a mundane like her mother did, she will lose her magic. Titus is hot and nice, but has had TERRIBLE lu...

Witch Please was a delightful read featuring a romance between a witch and an adorable baker who is cursed in love.Danica Waterhouse runs Fix-It Witches, a magical tech repair shop, with her cousin and fellow witch Clementine. After their grandmother gets pushy about them settling down with the "right" kind of witch, Danica and Clem make a pact to avoid love. But when Danica meets Titus Winnaker, owner of the bakery down the street from her store, sparks fly both literally and figuratively. As t...

The book started off strong and I was sure it would be an amazing read. The whole premise was very fun and I loved the setting, the shop names and the characters. Another thing that had me convinced is the writing style and how easy it was to jump right into the world.The point where it started to go downhill was the introduction of the witch hunter. I wanted all the fluff and none of the rough. But by the end, I felt the opposite. It was as if the witch hunter came to cause a scene and then sta...

Ahhhh this looks so cute!

This review can also be found at https://carolesrandomlife.com/I had a lot of fun with this book! I have had some luck with this author’s work in the past, although with another genre, so I was eager to give this romance a try. I found this audiobook easy to listen to for hours at a time. I am so glad that I decided to pick up this incredibly entertaining audiobook.Danica is a witch. She has the ability to fix just about anything so she puts her skills to good use in the fix-it shop that she run...

3.5/5 stars. It was slow at first and it quickly picked up. But then the plot just kind of fizzled? Our heroines grandma became a super villain and everything was resolved in the end. Nothing crazy happened but there were some 'realistic' heartbreaking scenes involving our two main characters. I liked how both characters had intense family issues.

Wow. I would have never finished this had it not been a book club read. As it is I want my time back 😂So Titus, the virgin baker, falls head over heels for Danica as soon as he lays eyes on her. And not in a sweet way. .5 seconds after seeing her he is already having fantasies about how many babies they will have. Bruh. She, on the other hand is full out lusting for him too. So insta love/lust doesn't bother me except that Titus was never developed fully or at all. His inner musings so at odds w...

2.5 star Well this book was really cute. I really like the whole plot BUT I did not like ANY of the characters. I was gonna rate this a 2 star because I found Tytus insanely pathetic... but then it got brought up to a 2.5 star once we figure out the reason he's like the way he is. I found Danica very annoying.. her *quirkiness* was not cute.. also wtf is up with the pact her and her COUSIN Clem made.. "Lets be single together forever and go get a sperm donor and raise kids together and we can NE...

This was a ridiculously cute romance between a witch and a 30-something virginal bi-sexual baker. Yeah, it may be completely unrealistic but I’m not here reading my witchy fiction books for real-life angst and accuracy. It was sweet and he was a complete cinnamon roll of a character. Loved it. I haven’t read a ton of romances this year and this one was a lovely break from the heavy, dark stuff I’ve been immersed in. Danica comes from a family of witches and she’s expected to keep the bloodline s...

A fun paranormal rom com to delight and entertain the day away! If you ever watched Gilmore Girls then you are familiar with the pop culture references throughout the shows and you get that type of interaction going with the characters in this story with a bit more explicit bedroom aerobics to speed up your heart rate! Great interactions between the characters including friends, family members and significant others and a few sketchy characters along the way. Even the pets have great personaliti...
