So what if he’s forty, single, and still running his family’s Inn? So what if he’s still grieving his father’s death and mourning the spectacular failure of his writing career? His life is perfectly fine, thank you very much. He’s not looking for love or a relationship, no matter what his nosy family thinks. Especially not with a writer from out of town.
Which is fine, because bestselling author Hazel Woodward isn’t looking for love either. She’s just looking for an escape, which is how she winds up in Gossamer Falls, a town where magic feels more than just make believe.
With her deadline looming, Hazel has only a few weeks to submit the first hundred pages of her manuscript or forfeit her hefty advance—which might be a problem, because she’s been living off of it for the past two years. While getting divorced, losing her best friend to a heartbreaking betrayal, and dealing with the worst case of writers block ever known to man. Now, in the picturesque town of Gossamer Falls, while staying at the Shephard Inn, she's hoping she can put the past behind her and focus on her career.
There’s a reason Adam doesn’t get involved with his guests, even ones with the most amazing brown eyes he’s ever seen. Even ones as gorgeous, smart, and talented as Hazel. Because in the end, they all leave.
But there’s magic in the air, and he can’t watch Hazel struggle. Especially when he just might have the solution to her writer’s block.
Too bad it might cost him his heart.
My Review
Just Like Magic by Tara WyattMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I didn't know what to expect with this new series from Tara Wyatt. I've read and enjoyed quite a few of her other books and series, so I was excited to try something new. I think that this would fall under the genre of small-town romance, but don't worry, there's plenty of heat here too.
Gossamer Falls is a town with magic in the air. Not only is there a shop selling spell and other magical items, but the waterfalls, after which the town is named is also credited with magic of its own. A visit at a special time in moonlight and you'll meet your true love soon. After her visit, things certainly seem to be happening for Hazel.
I really enjoyed this read. There's not a lot of angst, instead, we have a couple who seem made for each other and only need a little bit of magic to get things moving along. I really liked that they were a bit older than many couples in similar books and yet were of a similar age. Adam and Hazel make a really cute couple and I really enjoyed their story.
There are a lot of other people in the town, particularly in Adam's family, who I think could use a story themselves and I suspect that's what we're going to get in the following books in this series. I can't wait!
