Blog Tour: A Blend of Magic by Kate Kenzie

Hi everyone! Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for A Blend of Magic by Kate Kenzie. Many thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources for the opportunity to participate! Keep reading for a look at my review on the book (spoiler alert: I loved it) and for an amazing giveaway 😀

A witch cannot exist on potions and tea alone.

Hiding in the shadows, staunch singleton Willow Anderson is content running her successful business, The Enchanted Emporium. With Christmas days away, she’s eager to exchange selling bespoke tea blends and spells for extended bubble baths and binge-watching festive movies snuggled next to her Maine Coon, Vincent.

Nate never usually runs away from his problems, but drunk and disorientated, he finds himself in a small fisherman’s cottage in the Yorkshire coastal town of Whitby. After discovering his girlfriend’s affair, he is in no rush to return to the City. His wish for time alone in a Christmas-free zone comes true until an uninvited feline guest arrives.

Neither Nate nor Willow want company, especially from each other, but they have little choice when concussion means they must spend at least twenty-four hours together. Sparks fly and not just the romantic kind. When darkness from Willow’s past returns and threatens to destroy all she has worked for, pursuing a love affair is the last thing she needs.

With meddling ghosts and a teenage apprentice with her own matchmaking agenda, love and change are in the air.

But can Willow face her fears, and the past, to capture the happiness she deserves?

Oh, how I love witchy stories! ❤ GIVE THEM ALL TO ME.

A Blend of Magic was one of my most anticipated reads from my Autumn TBR this year, and I am so glad that I enjoyed reading it. The book features a delightful and enchanting story that weaves a heartwarming narrative of love, healing, and the power of unexpected connections! I particularly loved the setting of Whitby. The author’s description of the coastal town added a lovely, atmospheric touch to the storyline. I loved getting transported to Whitby every time I picked up the book. Kate Kenzie’s storytelling was filled with charm and wit, which made the book so comforting to read. I had such an amazing time!

I loved reading about Willow, the female lead. Her kindness and generous spirit won my heart! Willow’s past and the darkness it held added a layer of depth to the story. This is the reason why Nate and Willow’s romance felt unique, as it created a lot of scope for personal healing and growth for both characters! While I did find myself deeply invested in the romance, it was the elements of confronting the past, facing your fears, and ultimately finding your own happiness that truly stood out in the book for me.

Overall, A Blend of Magic was a whimsical and heartening read! If you love romances with a touch of mystical, definitely pick this one up soon ❤

Author Bio –

Kate Kenzie may not be Yorkshire born and bred, but it’s where her heart is and why her fictional worlds are set in the Moors and her favourite haunt, Whitby. Creator of the Enchanted Emporium and its residents, she blogs book reviews and author interviews at The Enchanted Emporium Bookshelf.

Part-time writer, and full-time dreamer, if she’s not reading from her over flowing TBR pile, she is writing or drinking tea. Like many, she always dreamed of being an author but notebooks of half-finished novels and children’s stories were pushed aside in adulthood until a random Facebook conversation rekindled her passion for world building. By receiving a bursary for the RNA New Writer’s Scheme, she found her tribe.

Awarded the Katie Fforde bursary this year, she writes romantic and paranormal fiction, especially witch lit.

Her short story, The Ghost Writer is available in an anthology, Byline Legacies by Cardigan Press.
