Brooding dragon shifter Flint wants a new start. So, when he arrives in Wishing Moon Bay the plan is simple. Get in. Get out. And avoid the merriness as much as possible.
However, with a dark past, and nothing to his name, getting any supplies for his journey is all but impossible-so much for the season of giving.
But, as they say, when one door closes, another opens. He just didn’t expect them to open by themselves. And before he knows it, Flint finds himself tending tables in the strangest tavern in town – The Lonely Tavern.
This isn’t the future he envisioned…even when she walks in.
Liselle wants a new start. So, when she arrives in her hometown of Wishing Moon Bay the plan is simple. Forget about her cheating ex-husband. Build a new life for her children. And make as much merriness as possible.
With nothing to her name, except for the support of her family and friends, Liselle knows that almost anything is possible.
Because, as they say, when one door closes, another opens. And this door leads to the strangest tavern in town-The Lonely Tavern. Luckily, potions aren’t the only thing this witch can brew.
This isn’t the future she envisioned, but she knows she’ll do whatever she must for her family…even when he walks in.
But can opposites truly attract? As Flint wrestles with the demons of his past, and Liselle questions if she can ever trust a man again, they might just discover that sometimes, dragons and witches make the most magical of pairs.
My Review
Liselle just lost everything from a cheating ex. She is now a single mom starting over on her way to Wishing Moon Bay. She is also paranormal, but we are not sure what exactly yet. The story is set during the holiday season, with this happening near Christmas. Ah, so she is a witch returning home. The family love is present and so sweet as this mom navigates her new life.
Flint is a dragon shifter and has recently lost his beloved mother and his ties to his family land. He is a grumpy man, and he and his dragon are seemingly on their way to far-off adventures. They are only going to Wishing Moon Bay to stock up on supplies. He doesn’t want a fated mate.
This story has some nostalgia, even with the magical world around them. But Flint is still surly and grumpy. He waffles between his fated mate and his plans for the future. I love how Liselle is embracing her new life.
The holidays come to life in this small town, and the winter vibes are also excellent. I love how it is incorporated with a paranormal romance and fated mates, so you get the best of the seasonal vibes and the paranormal you love in one story.
Flint is very angsty, never believing in himself, constantly second-guessing every action and reaction, and self-conscious of every decision. Liselle is slightly more believable, but it makes for an interesting pairing. The story could do without the hot and cold feelings, but we’ll see how this ends. The found family and love part are significant.
The story’s ending is cute and the opposite of the title, but overall, it was an okay read, not great, but sweet.
