Book overview

It all started with a question...

Poppi Nichols-Baxter is a romantically unfulfilled lawyer who just so happens to be a witch. Her husband is a successful, handsome, and very charming investment broker. Who is not only oblivious to her unhappiness but can sometimes be the cause. If it weren't for her two wonderful sisters and best friends Roxanna and Kandi, she would've forgotten what happiness even felt like.

That is until she meets her husband's new boss Zander Bell. A tall dark and handsome dream with the most enchanting blue eyes. Eyes that make her melt. Eyes that look at her like she is the only woman in the world. Poppi can't get him out of her head. Especially when Mitchell asks her a very dangerous question.

"If you can sleep with anyone, we know guilt-free, who would it be?"

Poppi doesn't have to think about it long before Zander twists himself into her imagination. "Your new VP Zander Bell."

But how will it end?

Zander Bell had little luck since his move to Maine. His superstar girlfriend, Carmen Grace, has left him on read since he moved. The loneliness of being in a new place is starting to weigh on him, until his company's Christmas Party, when he sees the most beautiful woman in the world blowing smoke under the streetlight like a character in his favorite Noir film. After speaking to her once, he knows she's all he wants, but will her husband stand in the way of his happily ever after?

... Read moreIf you're a fan of urban fantasy romance, this novel delivers a perfect blend of magical realism and complex emotional struggles. What I found particularly engaging is how it doesn’t shy away from the darker sides of relationships—mental health challenges, domestic abuse, and infidelity are woven thoughtfully into the story, adding depth and realism to the characters' experiences. The protagonist, Poppi, resonates deeply as she navigates loneliness and longing despite her outward success and magic abilities. One of the aspects that stood out to me is the dynamic between Poppi and Zander Bell. Their chemistry is electric, complicated by societal taboos and moral questions that keep tension high throughout the narrative. It’s refreshing to see a story where the male main character (MMC) falls first, offering a unique perspective on vulnerability and desire. Reading this reminded me how urban fantasy can use supernatural elements to amplify real human emotions and situations. The hints of noir atmosphere also add a stylish edge, making scenes like the Christmas party feel cinematic and immersive. And the inclusion of strong sisterhood and friendship ties provides a hopeful contrast to the darker themes. If you appreciate stories that challenge conventions and explore the messy realities of love and mental health, this book is worth your time. It also highlights the voices and stories of Black authors, enriching the urban fantasy romance genre with diverse perspectives. Overall, it’s a compelling and emotionally rich read that will leave you reflecting on the nature of happiness, freedom, and the choices we make for love.
