The pacing of this was pretty slow, especially at the beginning. There was also kind of a fake ending somewhere in the middle, and I thought that the book was over, but it wasn't. I didn't really like Essie, and was pretty horrified at how she treated/talked about her exes, especially considering the circumstances of the relationships endingalthough the guy who got frostbite on his dick was kind of a jerk spreading rumors but also wild and hilarious that there would be two books where people talk about how they got frostbite on their dick published within basically three months of each other lol . This was a bit of a disappointment/frustrating read and I can't see myself checking out any more Johnson in the future.

When Josh inherits an estate in England, he is shocked to find out that one of his tenants hasn't paid the rent since the 1700s, and when he looks for the house, it doesn't seem to exist. No one in the small town of Good Winter seems to know where it is. No one except for Essie Winterscale and the other witches that live with her in the ever-changing magical house. But even as Essie tries to keep Josh from looking too closely at their magical home, a long-buried secret seems to put him under her spell. This book was not what I expected, but it was a fun read! It had the sweet and magical romance plotline but also a mystery story that causes them to travel through time and hide from witch hunters. The first half of the story was a little slow, and I wasn't sure where the plotline was going, but the second half really picks up and creates the fun romance I was looking for!
Thank you to Netgalley, One More Chapter, and Kate Johnson for an ARC in exchange for my honest review! It was a lighthearted and magical read!
