Okay, so I devoured this book in one sitting like a bear shifter at an all-you-can-eat honey buffet. Milly Taiden has done it again!

The fake engagement trope between city witch Tabitha and gruff brewery owner Bram had me squealing into my pillow. That puddle meet-cute? *chef's kiss*

What I didn't expect was how invested I'd get in Tabitha discovering her magical roots. The inheritance mystery had me guessing until the end - though let's be real, I was mostly here for the steamy shifter romance.

Pro tip: Do NOT start reading before bed unless you're cool with being sleep-deprived. That 'one more chapter' lie we tell ourselves? Yeah, I finished at 3am.

Small town magic + growly protective shifters + just enough danger to keep things spicy = my new comfort read. Already pre-ordered the next one!
