Old Flames and New Fortunes
By Sarah HoglePublisher Description
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 shop’s 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 Trevor’s 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 can’t 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.

“Felt like a lot of telling and not showing. Felt like it dragged on and I needed to switch to audio to get through it.”

“I really liked this one. Romina and Alex were high school sweethearts. They had a bad breakup before they went to college and haven’t seen each other since.
Alex, in town for a wedding, sees Romina but in the arms of another man. Little does he know (or maybe he does) that they are fake dating.
Will Romina try and heal her broken heart and fears of commitment by giving Alex another shot?
The magic in this book is minimal, but I love the flower magic facts thrown in and her relationship with her sisters and niece. It reminded me of Practical Magic and Garden Spells.
I really loved Alex. At first I was annoyed with him, but then he really grew on me and how much he loved his Romina Romina. Also, the field scene 🥵
Diving into book 2 now!”
