Stupid Spellbound Love

Stupid Spellbound Love by Amy Boyles
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oops, I definitely read this book without reading book one in this series - so can confidently say it is OK to start here. This was a book filled with secrets and misunderstandings, but also magic and heart.

Coco lives in a town that has just started to thrive again. There are magical creatures all around them, but for some reason the town discriminates against humans with the same magic as the literal soil beneath their feet. Coco is hiding the secret that she can do a little magic and see magic all around them. It’s what makes her exceptionally skilled for her job with the town, which takes her to meet Stone. He is building a big structure designed to lure folks to vacation in the little magical town. Unfortunately for the town, it is disrupting the flow of magic. Coco, with the best of intentions, tries to convince Stone that he needs to rebuild but without him seeing the magic, it’s hard to convince him.

In truth, it would probably be hard to convince him even if he cared, which it appears he doesn’t. Coco shuts his site down and then secretly works on a potion to allow him to see magic. This, unfortunately, does not go as planned, leaving Stone without his memory. The rest of the story turns into a romance, with these two sparking all sorts of chemistry now that Stone is without his memories. I spent most of the book cringing and waiting for the inevitable fallout, which comes catastrophically. Don’t worry, though, because we get a HEA that makes up for all the drama.
