Description

Being a single witch at the holidays can be hard. The solution? Mila Bennet brews a love potion on Christmas Eve, hoping to fall in love with the next man she sees. But instead of the charming date she imagined, Riley King—Salem's Magical PD Chief Inquisitor—bursts through her door and arrests her for murder. Now Mila has leapt out of the cauldron of holidays blues straight into the fire of Riley's handcuffs. It's instant hate between the witch and the dashingly infuriating wizard in uniform. But the potion has other plans. It sparks an unbidden, fiery attraction neither of them can resist. They’d want nothing other than to go their separate ways and let the effects of the potion fade. But when Mila, cleared of all charges, is sentenced to collaborate with Riley in solving the murder mystery, they have to ignore their off-the-charts chemistry and work together to crack the case. As Mila and Riley forcibly collaborate, they must also face off to the fact that somewhere between the puzzling of clues, mistletoe, and suspects interrogations, they might be falling in love. But can Mila settle for a love that comes from a potion and not the heart? As the investigation progresses, she wonders if a murder case is the only mystery she has to solve… Get lost in this hilarious, magical rom-com perfect for fans of Erin Sterling. An enemies to lovers paranormal romance with a dash of cozy mystery.

    This was the perfect, magical, enemies to lovers rom-com. The banter was absolutely amazing. Hilarious. I had so many moments when I found myself laughing out loud and guffawing--it was that funny! The chemistry and tension were also top notch, and I didn't see the little romantic twist at the end. Also the mystery kept me turning the pages to guess whodunnit, and again, I had not guessed... So an absolute 5 stars :)

    I’m not usually one for paranormal romance, but I love this author so I gave it a try and I wasn’t disappointed. Don’t Kiss and Spell won me over with its quirky humor and lovable characters. Mila is a walking disaster in the best possible way, and I couldn’t help but root for her as she navigated everything from magical mishaps to unexpected romance. The way she and Riley butt heads—yet can’t seem to stay away from each other—is the stuff of rom-com gold. I mean, who wouldn’t fall for a Chief Inquisitor with a heart of gold beneath that tough exterior? Plus, the scene where they have to do a stakeout in the car and he accidentally feels her up with his air hands??? Yes, sign me up.

    I picked up Don't Kiss and Spell expecting a light-hearted magical romance, but what I got was so much more. Mila is the kind of protagonist I wish I could be friends with—sweet, a little reckless, and utterly relatable as she fumbles through love spells and baked goods gone wrong. And Riley? He’s the classic grumpy-yet-swoon-worthy hero, with just enough vulnerability to make him impossible to resist. I was hooked from the scene where Riley barges in, all business, only to find Mila in the middle of a bubble bath with cucumbers on her eyes! The awkwardness, the chemistry, the banter! Every chapter had me either laughing out loud or clutching my chest from all the feels. If you’re a fan of enemies-to-lovers with a magical twist, do yourself a favor and dive into this book. It’s the perfect blend of witchy chaos and heartfelt romance, and it left me grinning like an idiot.
