Hedge Witches Lonely Hearts Club: Book One

When a coven of hedge witches casts a spell for their hearts’ desires, the world turns upside down.

Bartholomew Baker is afraid to hope for his heart’s true desire—the gregarious woodworker who sells his wares next to Bartholomew at the local craft fairs—so he writes the spell for his baking business to thrive and allow him to quit his office job. He’d rather pour his energy into emotionally gratifying pastry! But the magic won’t allow him to lie, even to himself, and the spellcasting has unexpected consequences.

For two years Lachlan has been flirting with Bartholomew, but the shy baker with the beautiful gray eyes runs away whenever their conversation turns personal. He’s about to give up hope… and then Bartholomew rushes into a convention in the midst of a spellcasting disaster of epic proportions.

Suddenly everybody wants a taste of Bartholomew’s baked goods—and Bartholomew himself. Lachlan gladly jumps on for the ride, enduring rioting crowds and supernatural birds for a chance with Bartholomew. Can Bartholomew overcome the shyness that has kept him from giving his heart to Lachlan?

- A different kind of Amy Lane story

- This was such a refreshing, sweet story. Tolly and Lachlan have some interesting hurdles to overcome in their relationship, but Lachlan's calm understanding of Tolly's special abilities is the one thing Tolly needs to become his true best self. This book is very different from other Amy books, but I ended it already wanting to read the next one!

- Bartholomew and Lachlan are just delectable! A dash of paranormal and a whole bushel of sweet, Shortbread and Shadows is just perfect from start to finish. I can’t wait to see what Tolly’s friends wished for! I gobbled this story down just as fast as I could, and it’s a great read if you need a lighthearted happily ever after in these troubling times!

- I stumbled with the beginning of this book, we’re just dropped right into the story without any build up, and if this had not been by a favorite author I might have quit the book. However, I did keep at it and was richly rewarded.
  
  Bartholomew and Lachlan are great together, one of those couples made in Amy Lane heaven, and reading about them was a treat. The coven is great, their chaotic magic is funny and cute, and I can’t wait to read more in this series.
  
  All in all, I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys lighthearted romance with some funny magic and great writing.

- A wonder lighthearted romance with a touch of chaotic magic and one HEA! This is a start of the makings of a truly fabulous new series from Amy Lane. It’s a zero on the angst meeter but still a fun dizzying journey of finding love, personal growth, and a bit if magic.
- My Review:)

- Before you. begin, I would suggest reading the blurb before you get into the story. Since I'm familiar with the author's previous work. I just read the blurb enough to know who the players are in the story. You are literally dropped right in the middle and might be a bit confusing at first.
  
  Overall, It's one of the author's light story and for the most part, I enjoyed myself. The snark and sweet were present throughout the story. It was the right measurement of it that I didn't die of sugar shock. A good book to read when just need to read a light story with very good characters all around.
  
  I received this story for free in exchange for an honest review.
