Come along as we enter the first stages of the Fall season! As a transition, I have gathered the coziest fall romance novels filled with witches, magical creatures, and woodland friends. Grab your favorite blanket, a soothing drink, and get reading!
A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna
Sera Swan was once a powerful witch; some may say one of the most powerful in all of Britain. However, after life-altering events, she was exiled from her Guild and lost a lot of her power. As time passed, she began to help her aunt run an enchanted inn, dealing with all sorts of magical mayhem. Even with an uncertain future, she treks on until one day she finds an old spell that could help her restore her lost power, where she meets a handsome, cold magic historian, who arrives and coincidentally may know how to unlock the secrets of this spell. As the pair begin to search for answers together, one thing is for certain: walls are coming down, and vulnerability is shining.
The Baby Dragon Café by Aamna Qureshi
Saphira has another thing coming for her as she opens her cafe, welcoming baby dragons. What she wasn’t expecting was that fires would burn all around her and that the coffee sales would not cover all her costs. Aiden, a local gardener, conveniently has an extremely disobedient baby dragon, which he then pleads with Saphira to train, while covering the money to keep her cafe open. The pair couldn’t be any more different, but when it comes to business and pleasure, what could be better? Snuggle in your coziest blanket and grab your favorite hot drink as you enjoy this little fairytale world!
In the Weeds by B.K. Borison
Evelyn St. James is the type to cast spells on all who meet her. Her presence is never forgotten, and certainly not by Beckett Porter. After a night together during an away weekend in Maine, he cannot get her out of his head, so when she appears on his farm to take part in a social media contest, he suddenly realizes that the woman he cannot stop thinking about is a global social media influencer. When she disappears again, Beckett is determined to get over her, but she then returns to the last place she was truly happy, Lovelight Farms. Evelyn, to say the least, is unfufilled, and it may or may not have anything to do with an insidiously attractive farmer. This second-chance, small-town romance will knock your boots off, and in the best way possible.
Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood
Bellondonna Blacktorn is a witch, but she hasn’t felt or seen her magic in a while. As she balances her job at Lunar Books, protecting the shop from her boss, who doesn’t care about it, and concealing her true identity as a witch, Belle is burnt out. Her 30th birthday is looming, and brings her coven and a trial that will prove her worthiness of her power. Belle now risks losing her magic, and only has October to fix it, so she needs all the help she can get. This help comes in many forms, including from the women in her life, unexpected mentors, and an insanely handsome watchman who has sworn to protect her. This slow-burning, self-love, cozy Autumn read will have you wishing for more, and luckily, the series continues!
Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
Emily Wilde is a talented woman, to say the least, and as a professor who embarks on a journey to a small town to study faerie folklore, she also encounters friendship, love, and darkness. However, she much prefers books and her dog, so when she arrives in Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of making many friends. She soon learns that another has come to the same town: her ridiculously dashing academic rival, Wendell Bambleby, and somehow, he charms the townfolk, causing trouble as she gathers her research. Emily is so close to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones, who are the most elusive faeries that haunt the shadows of the forest outside town. As she searches for the answers to one mystery, another plagues her mind: Who is the real Wendell Bambleby, but more importantly, what lies in her own heart?
I certainly hope you enjoyed these magic-filled recommendations. Fall is coming, and it’s coming fast, and what’s better to welcome the season than with a great book? From dragons to farm life, these books have all you could want! Happy Fall, and happy reading!
