About this ebook

A Match Made in Spell is a free cozy fantasy romance filled with magical matchmaking, family secrets, and a witch who can’t escape her fate.

Some fates are harder to avoid than others.

When your family legacy comes with a body count—and a curse that turned Grandma into a lawn ornament—normal was never in the cards.

Lexi Balefire comes from a long line of powerful witches once revered as Keepers of the Balefire Flame. That is, until a legendary feud pitted her mother against her grandmother in a magical battle that destroyed more than just their relationship. The fallout reduced the Balefire name to a punchline and left Lexi tending a dying hearth—and a legacy she’s never felt worthy of.

The problem? Lexi has only unlocked a whisper of her magic—just enough to create unbreakable happily-ever-afters for her matchmaking clients. It’s perfect for running a successful magical matchmaking business, but useless when it comes to reclaiming her birthright. For everything else, she relies on her three well-meaning (and deeply meddlesome) faerie godmothers.

Luckily, Lexi has a closet full of designer boots and a knack for weaving romance out of thin air—because her own love life is a total dumpster fire. That is, until she meets Kin Clark, a charismatic musician whose smile could melt steel and whose touch makes her believe that maybe—even for a wicked Balefire witch—happily ever after is possible.

With Kin in her life, Lexi is almost willing to let her looming Awakening deadline pass, surrender her dwindling magic, and watch the ancestral fireplace grow cold.

But only almost.

When her former best friend turned arch-nemesis, Serena Snodgrass, starts hinting at buried secrets in the Balefire family past—and a supposedly unbreakable client match shatters overnight—Lexi’s search for her missing legacy kicks into overdrive. As her dormant magic stirs to life, trouble follows close behind, and things spiral from zero to what-the-spell faster than you can say “ancestral vendettas.”

With the threads of her family’s turbulent past unraveling around her, Lexi must confront her fears, embrace her birthright, and claim the power she’s always denied—or lose everything to the flames.

Because when you’re Cupid’s daughter, you don’t just weave romantic fates—you bind them. And if Lexi can’t untangle the knots of her own making, the Balefire flame—and her future with Kin—might burn out for good.

A Match Made in Spell is the first book in the Fate Weaver series.

Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy romance with humor and heart, and readers who enjoy Danielle Garrett, Tricia O'Malley, and Amy Boyles.!

Ratings and reviews

Solid, but you can tell the difference in the voice of the authors. Meaning the story should be seamless and the reader shouldn't be able tell who has written what. UNLESS, that was the goal. If so, then that should have been established earlier in the book. I'm also not sure if this story knew what it wanted to be. So much was packed into the plot line in the last chapters, it was really three books in one. Again, probably due to having two authors not in sync. -30-

This the first in a series and it is wonderful. I love the grandmothers and their antics. It is a spell binding novel that you want to keep reading and not put down until you finish it. But seeing as that is not possible I can't wait until evening when I can read a few more chapters. If I am not careful the time gets away with me and it will be 3 in the morning when I finally have to quit reading and go to bed. I can't wait to start the next book which I have purchased all the books in this series so I don't have to wait to start the next book. Please purchase these books if you are interested in witches and get hooked on the author she keeps you wanting more.

Great book but normally check if is the first book in a series, this is! Want more but next one is not available in UK, disappointed....
