Thanks to Berkley for the advance copy of this book!

Sage Flores is part of a family that is touched by magic. Her ability is to communicate with plants. When she moves back home and returns to her job at the Cranberry Rose Company, she's paired with high school-crush-who-crushed-her Tennessee Reyes to survey local land in search of unique plants.

Witch of Wild Things is a lovely representation of a romance novel with a touch of magic. While Sage was nicknamed the "Witch of Wild Things" because she can speak to plants, the magic is very simple and accessible for all readers, making this a perfect witchy read for romance lovers. While this book read more on the YA side (probably due to high school flashbacks and maybe the young-sounding audiobook narrator), Sage is actually 29 and the book is definitely not written for a YA audience. Ten was so attentive to Sage's needs as they were getting to know each other, and I loved the representation of sisterhood, dysfunctional families, having to grow up and take responsibility too soon, and Hispanic families in this book.
