Old Flames and New Fortunes
Old Flames and New Fortunes | Sarah Hogle
4 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
Fibs and squabbles and spells . . . oh my! A small, magical town tucked away in rural Ohio, Moonville is the perfect place for floral witch Romina Tempest to use the language of flowers to help the hopeful manifest love in their lives. After giving up on her own big romance eleven years ago, at least she can bask in others' happily ever afters. When the shops potential financier shares news of his wedding, Romina jumps at the opportunity to discuss the business . . . even if it means she has to fake-date her chaotic colleague Trevor to get an invitation. But all hell breaks loose when she discovers Trevors soon-to-be stepbrother is none other than Alex King: her high school sweetheart. Her greatest love. The boy who broke her heart. What starts as an innocent misunderstanding becomes a weeklong fake-dating scheme, as Romina quickly finds out she cant deny her connection with Alex. Caught between her livelihood and her heart, Romina must decide if taking a second chance on first love is worth the risk.

This is super cute. And the fantasy isn't over the top. If you're looking for fluffy romance this might be for you.

Julsmarshall And the playlist that the author shares is so good! 2d
vlwelser @Julsmarshall yes! I love when they do that. 2d
TheAromaofBooks I looked up the synopsis to see if I wanted to add this one, and it's set in Moonville, Ohio?! Less than an hour from here, and home of the (locally) famous (and haunted) Moonville Tunnel. 😂 Totally stacking!! 2d
vlwelser @TheAromaofBooks I read that entire book and it never occurred to me that it might be a real place. 😂 2d
TheAromaofBooks The town itself is super small, I have only ever driven through it maybe once. But the tunnel is pretty cool - an old, brick railway tunnel. We've been there several times. They're working on a rail trail that goes from the town out through the tunnel (and a second tunnel, King's Switch, also super cool) but there are multiple bridges that have to be built so it is slow going. Totally worth googling Moonville Tunnel, though!! 2d

Low pick. Real people do not act like this…

This is a witchy romance but the male MC is a skeptic. This book has fake dating, but bad fake dating. They are trying to make other people they used to date jealous.

The MC and her family work at a witchy shop they used to own, but their mom sold.. I did enjoy this book a lot of things that happened were so weird and not realistic at all. But this is a witchy book, so I guess it‘s not realistic.

rubyslippersreads At least the cover is pretty. 😏 10mo

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. This was a second chance romance mixed with a little humor and this book was a litter spicier than I thought it would be. I‘ve never read Sarah Hogle before so I didn‘t know what to expect. There weren‘t many spicy scenes but the ones that were there were good! I definitely plan to read more from this author!

A charming and witchy romance that was laugh out loud funny! I enjoyed every minute of watching Alex and Romina find their way back to each other & the happy swirl of family around them both. I loved the small town setting, the trio of sisters and their wonderfully real relationship and the magical shop they are working so hard to turn around. The floral elements added so much to the rich, evocative world Hoyle has created. So good! Releases 4/1
