Luna, a half-fae making a living by bartending at a friend's bar and doing the groundskeeping for her estranged father's inn, suddenly gets her life turned upside down when her nasty boss at said inn up and quits in frustration that the inn never receives any guests. Her father now gives her an ultimatum: run the inn and fill it with guests by the month's end, or he'll sell the one place she can call home. 

Meanwhile, Vincent, a son of a rigid old fae court making a living by writing a recommendation column in the local paper, is desperate to start writing more important pieces. When the opportunity to do just that falls into his lap, he's eager to look into the potential corruption of a member of a rival court-- who happens to be Luna's father.

Dealing with their new realities, Luna and Vincent strike up a deal: she'll help him gain access to her father's house to investigate his piece, and he'll write a recommendation for her inn, which will all but guarantee that it'll be bursting with guests in no time. Naturally, there are a few roadblocks to working together... most notably, their incredible attraction to each other.

This was such a sweet, delightful detour of a book! Perhaps because of the setting, reading it felt like sipping tea while sitting by the fire at a small hotel in an unusual but endearing town. It was easy to get through, and a wonderful distraction from the heaviness of some of the other books I've read lately. While I do wish we'd gotten a bit more conflict in the book to make the ending feel more earned, I had a great time. The solutions do come easy to our main characters, and we don't get a huge amount of depth to them, but what we do learn allows the reader to become invested in them taking their own power back from those who have only sought to cage them in the past. It's lighthearted, but sometimes that's what you really need. 

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Victory Editing for providing me with a digital ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!
