Be careful what you wish for!
Ursula Caraway wish for her happy ending. So why did everything fall apart when it was supposed to be her happy ending. She was stood up at the alter and struggled to connect to the magic and person she used to be. She decided to take matters in her own hands. She swore off believing in fairy tale happy endings and created a Boss Witch list to get her life back. As she worked on her list she happened to help a stranger that had no sense of direction. Why did the stranger happen to be a charming Fae prince when she finally swore off of her fairytale ending. The prince had his own struggles and was trying to break an enchantment/curse that had him stuck in the human realm. He didn't believe in love and was focused on getting the perfect kiss so he could return home. How do you get the perfect kiss if you don't believe in love, what makes it perfect. Ursula decides to help Xavier on his quest to get that kiss because someone has to have a HEA, even if it isn't her.
This story is a slow burn, friends to lovers romance that will have you rooting for them to find their HEA. Ursula may have acted terrible in the first book but I am loving her redemption in this one. She wanted her dad's side of the family to accept her so bad that she became someone she didn't recognize. I enjoyed watching this love story unfold.
