I love that this is a story based on Wedding Bliss Cupcakes gone wrong. I mean, the idea of infusing baked goods with magic is already something that I absolutely adore. And infusing wedding cupcakes with that feeling of hope and optimism that I always feel at a wedding? Even better. What I didn’t expect though, was how beautifully that could go wrong. And then, how wonderfully right that makes everything. A gorgeous little story that left me feeling content and happy, a bit like a Wedding Bliss Cupcake.

Oakley is a really sweet, and kind of innocent lead. I love that she’s a total romantic and, even if she has had a bad run of things, still believes in true love. Yet, even with the fact that she is a total romantic, she is also somewhat of a realistic. That perfect balance of someone who is completely ready to fall in love, but also, not willing to just throw themselves into something that is unhealthy or wouldn’t work for them.

Justin is a really sweet counterpoint to Oakley. He is  kind and considerate, and quick to try and get to know the woman he is interested in. I love that they both take the time to get to know one another and build a relationship, before jumping in. I mean, they both have all of the big feelings pretty much straight away (this is a romance after all), but they also know that those feelings need to be supported by a strong foundation.

Honestly, as much as I thought Oakley and Justin were adorable, it was the idea of a magic-infused bakery that I loved the most. I mean, how is this not something that I wouldn’t want more of? I mean, a group of sisters running a bakery (yum) infused with magic (fun) and falling in love (too cute). Now I can’t wait to read more about the Broomstick Bakery and the rest of the romances that will come through these doors.
