"Hexes & Honeysuckle" by Erin Branscom
For fans of Practical Magic, Gilmore Girls, and small-town friends-to-lovers romance, this one’s for you. A witchy Maren sister with black cat energy. A golden retriever of a man who has been obsessed with her for as long as he can remember.
Rowan Maren is small-town Wisteria Cove’s wild sister, the black cat in a family of witches who refuses to be tamed. Untamed in ripped jeans with a streak of trouble and tattoos to prove it, she’s perfectly content running her apothecary, stirring up a little magic, and avoiding anything that looks remotely like forever. The one thing she doesn’t see coming? Her best friend looking at her like she hung the moon.
Finn Bennett has been hopelessly in love with Rowan for years. Steady and loyal, he’s the golden retriever to her black cat chaos. For years, he’s been the safe place she runs to, the shoulder she leans on… and the man she doesn’t realize is already hers. But after one reckless night, Finn is done waiting. He’s ready to lay his heart bare with a confession that could change everything.
Rowan may be juggling late-night spellwork, her brand-new apothecary, and a town full of meddling neighbors, but Finn isn’t afraid of her chaos, he thrives in it. He’s her biggest cheerleader, the one building a future sturdy enough for the both of them, even if she hasn’t realized yet that it’s all for her.
Full of witchy whimsy, small-town laughter, found family, and a pining hero who falls first and falls hard, Hexes & Honeysuckle is a swoony friends-to-lovers romance that proves the most powerful magic of all is letting yourself be loved.
