A Sip of Magic by Kate Swansea

A Sip of Magic by Kate Swansea is an enthralling work of romantic fantasy with a delightfully unique premise. Serena is a witch who wants to open a tearoom in Pembrooke, but she doesn’t get the welcome she had hoped – Jared, a handsome but strict member of the Magic Council, is trying to sabotage her in order to protect the secret of magic from the rest of the community. Can Serena and Jared see eye to eye, and can magic ever exist in the open? With effervescent prose, an enchanting backdrop, and an original cast of characters, the novel deftly combines elements of fantasy and romance in a way that will satisfy readers of either genre, offering a traditional enemies-to-lovers that is never too predictable, given the two characters’ interplay, within a charming small-town fantasy setting.
