What's a duke to do when a carefully selected bride rejects him rather than marry without love? He salvages his pride by marrying the next woman who falls into his arms. Joyous Fiona MacQuarrie bewitched the Duke of Belmore the moment she appeared from nowhere and knocked him over...literally. Joyous MacQuarrie is a Scottish witch whose powers of white magic are not always easy for her to control. When Alec's pride makes him choose to marry her, Joy turns the life of the most serious and snobbish duke in England upside down. Too soon Alec finds his well ordered and controlled life a mess, because he married a witch--one who turns him to fire when he kisses her, who charms everyone around her, and threatens to destroy both their lives as scandal looms over her. Too late, Joy discovers she's desperately in love and not even the strongest magic can seem to turn her into a proper duchess, or make her husband love her. Passion holds them spellbound in an irresistiblely funny and tender tale of two opposite but lonely hearts.

Oh, this was as delightful & adorable as I remember it! The tv show “Bewitched” meets regency romance in this funny, adorable story of a duke who decides to marry the next woman he sees, finds out afterwards that she‘s a witch, & that his life will never be boring again. The writing was lovely (though I could do without a couple of “dreamy”s) & the characters were laugh-out-loud fun. Perfect for a quick, sweet read on a rainy day. ★★★★☆.

#currentlyrereading | ok so I had this brilliant idea to read all the Harry Potter & Hunger Games books BACK TO BACK and now all I want in the world is a story where EVERYBODY IS ADORABLE AND HAPPY AND NOBODY DIES OKAY? *huggles all her romance novels*

I really wanted to like this one. I loved the first half but I kept waiting for Joyous to start mastering her magic and for the Duke to have a little wonder.... I also didn't really understand the MacLean's motivations. But it is a light entertaining read. I guess I wanted more of a fantasy/adventure than a romance.
