Witches and humans have always had issues.

Cayden is well aware of that: her witch mom was shunned by her high-society parents when she fell in love with Cayden's human dad. Now, the family business is in trouble due to wealthy witches gentrifying her historic Texas neighborhood. So Cayden is appalled when she realizes she unknowingly went on a date with Coven it-boy Khy Carter. But when her father's bakery has an influx of new customers, she realizes Khy might just be a solution to her family's problems: Cayden absolutely cannot be with a Coven boy, but that doesn't mean she can't pretend to be.

Suddenly, Cayden is thrown into the Coven system she grew up despising, but it turns out embracing the witchy side of herself is actually…fun. As she spends more time with Khy, their fake dating starts to feel like real feelings. And even though she's doing this for her family, Cayden knows she's also betraying them. Her parents may have put love before everything else, but is Cayden willing to do the same?

Short and Sweet Review

Cayden is witch but she’s on the outskirts of witch society because when her mom fell in love with a human they shunned the family. Cayden’s parents both own businesses, her mom has a pet adoption center/vet practice, while her dad owns a bakery. Unfortunately, the bakery is going through some money troubles and as much as her parents tell her not to worry Cayden can’t help it. When a cute boy happens to adopt a dog, Cayden decides to make a move but she doesn’t realize that Khy belongs to the coven and he’s actually pretty well known because of who his parents are. When people catch the two of them together Cayden’s popularity sky rockets and so does the amount of customers at the bakery. Cayden decides she can keep up this fake dating with Khy as long as it helps the business but she soon realizes that her feelings for Khy aren’t fake but very real.

Love Spells Trouble was a really cute book that had the fake dating trope. Cayden cares deeply for those around her especially her parents, so when she learns about the money woes she wants to help she just doesn’t know how. When she meets Khy she wasn’t looking to use him she didn’t even know who he was but a really cute boy. Their first date didn’t go well especially when his friends crashed it and told both of them that this romance would not be a good idea. Khy just recently got out of a relationship and Cayden isn’t a part of a coven so they’re basically from different worlds. Cayden and Khy decide to go for it anyway and they try to keep their parents from finding out but that wasn’t a well thought out idea when the paparazzi are snapping pics. The dating ends up bringing more customers to the bakery which is a plus. Throughout the book we see that the more Cayden and Khy hang out the more the lines begin to blur for her. Cayden is protective of Khy and also a bit jealous when his ex starts to come around. I did like Khy he seemed so sweet and always willing to make things right. I liked Cayden too but sometimes she had the tendency to overreact to things without getting the full story. I enjoyed the friend group that Khy had and also Cayden’s cousin Mercedes they were all great side characters. I think the best thing about this book besides the romance was seeing the two worlds collide and we even get a bit of a family reunion that wouldn’t have happened if Cayden and Khy didn’t meet. I will say I thought there would be more magic involved but there wasn’t a lot there was a lot of talk about it though.

Overall, this was really cute and such an easy read. We learn about the covens and why Cayden feels slighted by them but we also see her enter their world because of her new connection with Khy. I thought the romance between these two was great and the chemistry was undeniable. I would recommend this book, its a fun read for the summer!
