Review: As You Wish by Danika Brown

As You Wish by Danika Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was provided an ARC of this book via Netgalley, all opinions are my own.

This was such a cute, small town romance.  This follows Honey Baxter, a rule following magical auditor sent to investigate a wishing well on the Hale farm.  Ethan Hale is a single dad doing his best to raise his three daughters and keep the farm afloat.  When Honey shows up to audit their wishing well chaos and compliance come together about as well as oil and water.  Ethan doesn't like people in his business even if he has known them all his life and they are offering to lighten his load.  Honey is a complete stranger from the government, and the last time the government set foot on his property it didn't end well for the Hale family.  With both Ethan and Honey trying to do what is best for the farm and the family, lines get a little blurry as her investigation progresses and feelings get involved.

This was adorable.  I love a good small town storyline, and this one was a bit on the cozy side.  The addition of some magic to the story was also a nice touch.  Honey and Ethan spend most of the book pining quietly for each other as they both have pretty thick walls up and don't easily let people in, but it was sweet to watch them slowly lower their defenses as the story unfolds.  They were a great opposites attract couple.  I enjoyed getting to know the people of the town, and hope to see more of them as the series progresses.  This is very clean with only a few kissing scenes, so if you are looking for something on the sweeter side give this a read.
