Cozy fantasy + a dash of BD$M with the local village blacksmith

I might be biased on this one. This book falls into my favorite category. Cozy, low-stakes, spicy romance. Not to mention Cait Alvarez is another Texas indie author! I was sold before I got started. This was a wonderful afternoon read. It’s been raining all week in San Antonio, so I curled up with a pot of tea, a blanket, and the pup one afternoon and devoured this book. I’ll be starting Spellcraft and Snails soon and I have a feeling this will be a series I revisit anytime I have the blues.

This is a cute little novella.
I was surprised by how spicy it was. (Personally, I love spicy books. But if you don’t, be warned. I was not expecting it.)
There is no actual millinery in this book. But as a real-life milliner, I was incredibly amused by the townsfolk thinking she couldn’t be a witch without a black pointy hat.

Loved it! Cait is an expert at whipping up the charming, charismatic magical village with its quirky residents. I love how her books change pace in the middle when it’s like she gets sick of waiting for them to get together and suddenly things go crazy! Whew! I did think this was a particularly touching little story about kindness and acceptance as well.
