The Cupcake Witch
Poppy Lawless
Fantasy Romance Novella
2015
Julie
Buttercream. Vanilla. Fondant. Dark chocolate. Brown sugar. Molasses. Baking has always been my true love, but it wasn’t until my mother’s death, and the unexpected inheritance of Serendipity Gardens, that my bliss called me. Bittersweet. But Serendipity Gardens has more to offer than just a potential shopfront. An unusual recipe box left to me by a distant relative might be the key to unlocking my dreams.
Too bad the most powerful family in Chancellor has plans that could turn those dreams to ruins—literally.
Too bad the son of that powerful family is just the kind of guy I’ve been looking for.
Horatio
I suppose being heir to the Hunter family’s Blushing Grape Winery should make me happy, but nothing could be further from the truth. With my mother gone, my father has taken me under his wing, and I despise everything about the way he does business. Sour grapes, indeed. Instead of raising money for charitable causes, my true passion, I’m chasing my father’s manifest destiny.
Too bad his dream includes paving paradise.
Too bad the property owner is the sweetest woman I’ve ever met.
They say the course of true love never runs smooth.
But that’s nothing a magical cupcake can’t solve.

Review: I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review
A short, sweet review for a short, sweet novella. This book combines two of my favorite things: cupcakes and a dash of magic.
Both Julie and Horatio have been living a life their parent- for Julie her mother and Horatio his father- want for them. Nothing makes me happier than when people shed that and follow their dreams. Both characters are more than likable and together they are really quite sweet,
A very short read-- I read it in about an hour. I enjoyed the shifting POV between Julie and Horatio. Chancellor seemed like an intriguing town. There's a whole series of novellas set there, so if you like this one you have several more to devour.
