Legend goes that long ago a Flores woman offended the old gods, and their family was cursed as a result. Now, every woman born to the family has a touch of magic.

Sage Flores has been running from her family—and their “gifts”—ever since her younger sister Sky died. Eight years later, Sage reluctantly returns to her hometown. Like slipping into an old, comforting sweater, Sage takes back her job at Cranberry Rose Company and uses her ability to communicate with plants to discover unusual heritage specimens in the surrounding lands.

What should be a simple task is complicated by her partner in botany sleuthing: Tennessee Reyes. He broke her heart in high school, and she never fully recovered. Working together is reminding her of all their past tender, genuine moments—and new feelings for this mature sexy man are starting to take root in her heart.

With rare plants to find, a dead sister who keeps bringing her coffee, and another sister whose anger fills the sky with lightning, Sage doesn’t have time for romance. But being with Tenn is like standing in the middle of a field on the cusp of a summer thunderstorm—supercharged and inevitable.

Cute, cozy, touching, and magical

In short words, I liked it a lot. I haven’t been into fictions for ages, but I’m glad I found this one to begin with.

Didn’t know what to expect

I recommend!

I love this book. It has romance and witchcraft and tells such a compelling story dealing with family and cultural trauma in such an engaging way and I love how it connects us to the days of early internet. Well crafted and so enjoyable!

Great read

The sisterhood was beautiful, the witchy vibes it is perfect. I love this book and the audible voice was perfect.

Good narration & interesting concept

The narrator did a good job bringing venom, mystery, and hope to her narration. The story was a fun ride, although there were a couple of parts that relied on the unexplainable and I didn’t feel I knew enough about the world of the book to fully invest in that. Overall, a really satisfying story with complicated relationships and lots of personal growth. I really enjoyed it!

Cozy and comforting

This book is a cozy read. I didn't want to put it down. The author transported me into the story, the details and descriptions were so lovely. The narrator is pretty good as well. I love that the story is cozy, but also keeps you guessing, and has the right amount of sexy time blended in.

Good story

This was pretty good story, although it was a bit more mysterious than witchy, some of the characters are hard to like, and I didn’t understand their behaviors. I loved the narrator!

Gifts

I enjoyed learning about the gifts that women receive in the Flores family . Along with how each family member finds the courage to be honest with each other.

Love conquers all

Great story outlining the strength of familial bonds and unbreakable bonds through hardships and heartbreaks.
