The Enchanted Hacienda by J.C. Cervantes

4.5

The Enchanted Hacienda is a beautiful story that is honestly such a vibe. The first 30% honestly gives such Encanto vibes, I think its part of the reason I loved it so much. We follow Harlow as she returns to her magical family farm in Mexico after a breakup and works on starting over and starting her book. There she meets Ben and after a few mishaps and random meetings, romance blooms. There was a short section in the middle where the vibes seemed to drop off, right where the book leaned more into the romance than the magic. Luckily they picked back up and the ending was cute (despite the miscommunication which always annoys me). I'd love to see another book telling us more about the farm and the family. 
1 on the spice scale.
