Perfect for you if...

You love romantic comedies where the banter is sharp and the chemistry crackles, even when characters are pretending to hate each other.
You enjoy paranormal romance that doesn't take itself seriously, with magic as flavour rather than the main plot.
You want a feel-good story with a tight-knit family, a sassy sidekick character (in this case, a talking cat), and genuine stakes that don't involve the world ending.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer serious paranormal romance where magic systems are intricate and matter to every plot point.
You're looking for spicy closed-door romance with explicit content.
You want a longer, more complex series mythology; this is a lighter, episodic setup.

About this book

Maggie Buchanan is a witch who prefers to call herself an energy shifter. Bound by family coven rules, she cannot use her powers for personal gain or to influence the future. She has spent years saving money to buy Brewster's, the local coffee shop she manages, and enters a baking contest hoping to win the funds needed to purchase it. Lucas Rodriguez, a former college acquaintance and current NFL center, enters the same contest. He is drawn to Maggie but struggles around her, fumbling his performance whenever they interact. Determined to win her heart and support her dream, Lucas discovers what Maggie truly wants and commits to helping her achieve it—until circumstances spiral out of control. Fumbling for Affection is the first book in the Buchanan series. It features a closed-door romance with humor, witty banter, a talking cat, second chances, a close-knit family, and themes of love.
