Book Review: Sunscreen and Spellbooks
What you will find inside this book:
☀️ Meet Cute
☀️ Small Town/Beach Town Romance
☀️ Shifter x Witch
☀️ Opposites Attract
Welcome to Crescent Cove—where the sun shines, secrets linger, and every tide brings a little magic.
Catherine Prescott doesn’t believe in magic. Not anymore. Once a prodigy witch, now a burnt-out marketing exec, she’s traded spells for spreadsheets—until a sudden layoff leaves her with nothing but severance pay and an invitation to housesit her aunt’s beach cottage in Crescent Cove.
Her summer plans? Sunscreen, solitude, and maybe a little self-discovery.
Reality? A mischievous dog, a house full of enchanted junk, and a maddeningly handsome marine biologist who insists she’s “disrupting leyline energy.”
Elliot Fitzgerald is sunshine in human form—tanned, barefoot, and entirely too charming. He’s also a sea lion shifter sworn to protect the cove’s magic. When Cat accidentally stirs dormant power beneath the waves, he offers to teach her how to control it… if she agrees to stay close.
Now they’re fake-dating to throw off nosy locals, knee-deep in magical chaos, and discovering that the ocean isn’t the only thing with dangerous pull.
Witty, witchy, and warm as a summer sunset—Sunscreen and Spellbooks is a beachy paranormal rom-com about rediscovering your magic, finding where you belong, and falling in love under the tide.
My Review
This is the perfect summer read! A great combo of smalltown charm, fated mate, and sweet romance! To be honest, Charlotte could have easily been a downer and kind of unforgettable, yet she was neither of these things. She is likable, has a good personality (maybe a little grumpy) but this is understandable, and a water witch. As the story progressed, so did her magic. It was intriguing to see her abilities grow and see what she could do. Although, you know who was very intriguing is Elliot. There was definitely a mystery surrounding him. I could not quite figure out why the strong pull to Charlotte, but when the reveal happened, it made perfect sense. I need more books that figure what Elliot is. A fun read for sure. I love Crescent Cove and if it was a real place, I would visit.
