I Accidentally Summoned a Retired Hero to Run My Bakery With Me!: A cozy romantasy light novella

by Fiona Forte

Lina had always been content with her simple life as a baker in the quaint town of Rindlefern, where magic was a part of everyday life. That is, until her magical oven crystal shatters and she finds herself in need of a replacement enchantment. In a desperate attempt to fix it, she accidentally summons Cael, a retired hero bound by magic to answer any call for help.

Lina is determined to handle the situation on her own, but Cael's presence proves to be more of a help than she thought, with his surprisingly good baking skills. With flour in his hair and a brooding demeanor, he is the last thing she needs. However, Cael is insistent that he will not be able to return to his own life until Lina "declares her heart at peace."

If you're looking for a quick, cute, and clean novella, this one might work. Though its short it had decent character development, was funny at times, though also a little cringy at times. Its got a simple plot, and simple world building but was still an enjoyable read.
