“She is beyond excited to open a flower shop, even if she has to deal with the cute yet grumpy alchemist, Nathaniel”
I’m just going to say it so no one can be disappointed when they start reading it. You are going to enjoy this book if you don’t compare it to The Spellshop. It may have the same vibes, but it’s totally different. It’s more of a cozy romance fantasy book than a cozy fantasy book. Let me explain.
This book focuses more on Violet Thistlewaite starting her life again. Violet isn’t the villain anymore, even though it’s hard to stop her villain thoughts. Thank goodness, Violet has to focus on opening her flower. She is beyond excited to open a flower shop, even if she has to deal with the cute yet grumpy alchemist, Nathaniel.
You know I love a grumpy sunshine romance trope. And these two, Violet and Nathaniel, are grumpy sunshine trope coded, especially when they have to work together to save their quiet town. Yes, you heard it. Violet and Nathaniel have to spend time together, so we have a forced proximity trope as well. Perfect combination for a cozy romance fantasy read.
