When a popular marriage counselor’s own marriage falls apart, she’s forced to question her methods—and discovers the magical ingredient she’s been missing all along—in the dreamiest possible way . . .


Just one year ago, Chelsea Knight was living the life she’d always wanted. Marriage to the perfect guy, a thriving career, and a gorgeous condo overlooking San Francisco Bay. Then out of nowhere, her husband, Austin, left her. Ironic, because Chelsea fixes marriages for a living. In fact, she’s famous for her techniques. Naturally, she’s been using her expertise to win back her ex—and when he invites her for drinks, she’s sure her work has finally paid off. Until he announces he’s engaged.

Devastated, Chelsea seeks refuge in the beloved small-town lake cabin she and Austin now take turns using. When she arrives, the streets are dazzlingly decked out for Halloween, the autumn leaves are exceptionally vibrant, and the locals are especially warm and welcoming. It’s downright magical—and so is Knox Hart, a talented jack-of-all-trades who’s fixing her roof. Chelsea is instantly drawn to him—and to the simplicity of country life. Slowly, she becomes immersed in the townspeople’s problems and finds a sense of belonging—leading her to reevaluate her own path . . .

But something about the idyllic hamlet—and Knox—seems too good to be true. A trick more than a treat. And when she ultimately learns the truth, her heart is shattered. Miraculously, Austin is there to mend it. It’s everything she’d hoped for. Or is it? On the cusp of making all her dreams come true, Chelsea must find the strength to make an impossible choice . . .

Thank you to Kensington, Between the Chapters Facebook Book Club and Stacy Finz for an ARC of Nothing Less than Magic. I don't give away spoilers in my reviews.
I loved the cover -it's so pretty and the colors used fit the story very well.
I love the main character, Chelsea. I love her optimism, her strength and how she grows thoroughout the storyline. I also really liked her sister, Lolly - her attitude made me laugh and also feel sorry for her.
Chelsea has had many life changes - and continues to have more life changes in this book. I liked her psychologist profession and thought it added an insight to her childhood.
I was a little confused over the cabin characters and the setting while reading it, but I think the ending was explained very well - including the cabin characters and setting.
Nothing Less than Magic was a wonderful romantic read for a hot summer week. It was easy to escape into.
