Perfect for you if...

You love cosy fantasy with genuine humour where the banter lands and the magic feels lived-in rather than explained
You want romance that simmers without steam, with actual chemistry between characters who make you laugh
You appreciate protagonists who are competent and funny without being insufferable, especially when paired with a prickly magical creature

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer high-stakes fantasy or plot-driven stories where the external conflict matters more than character dynamics
You need explicit sexual content to feel satisfied by a romance
You find whimsical, lighthearted tones exhausting or prefer darker, grittier narratives

About this book

Shari L. Tapscott, author of A Vampire's Guide to Gardening and Obsidian Queen, presents a lighthearted fantasy set in Moss Hollow, a magical community in Vermont that values tradition and tourists. When the protagonist's eccentric and wealthy great aunt dies, she becomes the sole beneficiary—with conditions. She must move into her aunt's cottage, keep her tea shop open for at least three years, and care for Rowan, a tiny owl who was once a mage. Rowan is moody, opinionated, and dislikes both the protagonist's dog and the handsome fae councilman who arrives in town. Using her pixie magic, the protagonist must figure out how to transform Rowan back into his human form while managing the tea shop, her growing attraction to the councilman, and Rowan's interference in her dating life. The story features closed-door romance with passionate kisses and some innuendo, but no explicit scenes.
