It took a while but I finally got into book two of the Elemental Love series. Same as before I loved the vibes just wish we got a little more magic. Unlike book one Kiss and Spell seemed to be a combination of fairytale-like retellings with references to Cinderella and the Frog Prince but with its own twist.
Ursula Caraway was in search of her own happily ever after. If being left at the altar wasn’t enough she’s ridiculed for not seeing her own fate and can’t really use her magic the way she wants. At this point she’s desperate and will do anything to have her chance at love again. When Prince Xavier arrives in town in search of the one to help break his curse he bumps into Ursula sealing their fate. Unfortunately it would take a couple failed attempts with online dating, Ursula being his wingman, and Xavier not actually believing in love before the two give in to what’s meant to be.
This was a really cute and swoony story with excessive pining and a whole lot of wishing on a star energy. The chemistry was undeniable so it was like come on already just say you’re in love. Wish we had gotten more backstory on the enchantment curse placed on Xavier. I also like Ursula’s character a lot more compared to book one where she was giving bridezilla.
Overall, it’s a cozy small town romance I’d recommend. My only downside was the pacing being really slow and I kind of wish it had more of a fall type vibe. But I’m excited and ready to read book three Deja Brew.
