Review: Saddles and Spells by M.R. Polish!

It was the Curse’s fault. There was no other explanation why Alice Young woke up married to a complete stranger. 

After generations of witches in her family succumbing to the Legend of the Lonely Witch, aka the Curse, Alice refuses to surrender her magic to the land. And that’s exactly what will happen if she doesn’t find true love. Stupid cliché hex anyway. 

Reese Mahoney doesn’t understand what he’s doing in Nevada. He should be on his way back to Wyoming. Back to the land he loves. But one night in Vegas changed everything. Now he’s torn between his dream of owning his own ranch and doing what’s right. Only problem is that his dreams are changing and he’s determined to help the woman he can legally call his wife be happy. Except, it’s a little hard when she turns down every attempt he makes.

Saddles and Spells is the perfect read for a summer day! It's a heart-warming story about true love that has something for everyone. Sassy witches and handsome cowboys mixed together with just the right amount of magic and sweet romance (with bits of humor, action, and mystery thrown in) with a HEA! The story reads like a contemporary romance-it is a fast read that flows easily- though there are lots of paranormal elements- curses and magic. It's a great combination and makes for a really enjoyable story.

I loved the way the story was set up- the couple meets in Vegas and wind up married after a crazy night. I really enjoyed watching the characters get to know and fall for one another even after they are married. S&S is more sweet than sexy, but I found that refreshing. There needs to be more stories like this one!

This was a cute start to the series and I can't wait until some of the other witches find true love in their own stories!

4/5
