Magically Delicious by Jaylee Austin | Book Review

May. 10, 2022

The idea behind this book is great but there was a lot of information to process for me.

Magically Delicious by Jaylee Austin | Book Reviewthree-stars
Magically Delicious by Jaylee Austin
Series: Sarim Prince #1
Genres: Paranormal Romance

They’re caught between the fates of two worlds—and saving both realms may mean losing each other.

Moira Naesatra has never felt like her fighting skills are up to par with the rest of her fae clan. Maybe that’s why she runs a bakery in Pasadena, where human customers buy her mouth-watering confections… and receive a dose of positive magic as a bonus. When a dangerous side of her magic surfaces in dreams and premonitions, she has to rely on the angel Uriel to help her find and protect the source of sacred magic for her people.

Even though Moira has never felt drawn to anyone like she is to Uriel, his vast knowledge is unnerving, particularly when it comes to her past and the magical abilities she has yet to unlock. Moira doesn’t know if she can trust him with her heart when they’re on such uneven ground. For now, she has no choice.

Cursed by his celestial father to lose his soul mate centuries ago, Uriel Connor serves as a human lawyer and as a heavenly arbiter between Eden and Hell. He thought he would be alone forever—until he meets Moira, an unwittingly seductive fae whose magic is more powerful than she can know. Moira is the key to possessing a stone sacred to the angels, and Uriel knows he must reclaim this relic from the sidhe, even if it seals their fate.

As they close in on the fairy grimoires Moira seeks, Uriel is torn between his desire to claim Moira and his duty to the otherworld realms. No matter what he chooses, the cost of preventing catastrophe will be higher than either one of them can bear…

MAGICALLY DELICIOUS is a steamy paranormal romance where high stakes, Norse mythology, and magic combine to shape the destiny of the human world.

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

I wanted to like this book so much. I hadn’t read a good paranormal romance in a while and I felt like this one could be it. However, there was a lot going on here. To the point that I kept having to go back because I thought I missed something at times.

The world creation was great but for me personally I would have liked a little less information. As always that doesn’t mean that this won’t be the book for you. I always suggest that y’all give it a try. You just never know.

three-stars

📚 LOOK WHAT I'M READING TODAY! Unfortunate Games 📚 LOOK WHAT I'M READING TODAY! 

Unfortunate Games by Nichole Rose

Her fortune wasn't supposed to be her fate.

Emelia
Drunkenly folding my way into a future with the hottest goalie in the league wasn't how I intended to spend Saturday night, but here we are.

Clearly, my besties should not be in charge of Girl's Night activities.

One cootie catcher later, and Royce Elliot is determined to make this wild prediction a reality.

I'm absolutely not interested. Until I am.

He's supposed to be my client, not the man I can't resist.

But with every touch and every kiss, this feels less like a game…
and more like forever.

Royce
I know hockey, not how to win over a stubborn, fiercely independent publicist.

But the second I meet Emelia Jónsson, I stop caring about shutouts.
I care about her.

She says her fortune teller doesn't mean anything—that it's just a childish game.
I say fate handed me an opening, and I'm not going to miss my shot.

I didn't expect her to ignite the way she does for me.
And I never imagined I’d fall this hard, this fast.

She swears this can't happen.
She's wrong.

I'm not backing down until she admits the truth.
We were never just a game.
The two of us were fate.

Tropes include:

🏒 Hockey Romance
🏒He Falls First
🏒 Forced Proximity
🏒 Happily Ever After

Rafe Montero keeps his world quiet, controlled, and carefully structured.

As a wounded veteran turned demanding boss, the last thing he wants is a distraction, especially in the form of the bright, chaotic energy of his new employee. Beneath her playful confidence, though, is a woman determined to prove herself — even if her brooding boss keeps pushing her away.

Seraphina is everything Rafe isn’t. She’s outgoing where he’s guarded, spontaneous where he’s rigid, and impossible to ignore.

The more they clash in the workplace, the more undeniable the tension becomes. When late nights at the office turn into stolen moments and guarded confessions, Rafe realizes Seraphina might be the one person capable of breaking through the walls he built.

My Wounded Boss is an instalove romance featuring a possessive alpha hero, sizzling chemistry, a fiery heroine, a broody hero, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Meet Mitsi Blunderlock—a witch who graduated from Gloombubble Academy with one rather unfortunate problem: she can't fly.

After one spectacular crash leaves her with a crooked nose and a healthy respect for gravity, Mitsi decides that perhaps the sky isn't where she's meant to be. When a mysterious message in her tea leaves tells her to "GO. NOW.", she heads to the charming town of Marivell in a magical pumpkin carriage built by her inventor father.

What follows sounds like the kind of cozy fantasy adventure I absolutely love: a witch finding her place in the world, a town full of quirky magical characters, a distinguished werewolf, eccentric harpies, an opossum baker, and a whole lot of heart.

✨ Cozy Fantasy
🧙‍♀️ A Witch Who Can't Fly
🚕 A Magical Cab Service
🐺 Found Family
☕ Charming Small-Town Vibes
🦝 Delightfully Quirky Characters
💜 A Story About Finding Where You Belong

Sometimes the strongest magic isn't found in spells at all—it's found in helping others and building a community.

I can't wait to spend time in Marivell and share my thoughts when the time comes!

Would you read a cozy fantasy about a witch who starts a magical cab company? Because I am already completely sold. 📚✨

Surviving was easy. Trusting the man who's been watching over her all along — that's the hard part.
 
Serena has survived worse than bad men and broken promises. When danger comes for her and her daughter, survival is no longer something she can manage on her own.
 
Enzo Lombardi is a made man. Power, loyalty, and violence built his world, and once he decides Serena is worth protecting, there is no walking away. What begins as safety quickly turns into temptation neither of them can ignore, along with a connection Enzo has been quietly cultivating for far longer than she realizes.
 
In Enzo's world, threats are answered with blood and loyalty is absolute. Loving him means stepping into the shadows and trusting that he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
 
Tailored for You is a romantic suspense, mafia romance, with an HEA.
