Ten years later, Sarah’s sudden death threatens to break her. “Dark, tender, and thought-provoking, Wildwood Whispers is a beautifully woven tale of fantasy, feminism, and mystery set in rural Appalachia.” -Constance Sayers, author of A Witch in TimeĪt the age of eleven, Mel Smith’s life found its purpose when she met Sarah Ross. Have you read this one?Ī heartwarming novel of hope, fate, and folk magic unfolds when a young woman travels to a sleepy southern town in the Appalachian Mountains to bury her best friend. It reminded me a bit of one of my favorite books, Garden Spells, but with some darker tones. Wildwood Whispers by Willa Reece is $1.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! I mentioned this one on a previous Hide Your Wallet.
But even secrets kept for self preservation have a way of getting out, especially when meddling parents and gossiping families are involved. And her heart is protected… she’s not marrying the man. She knows Nadim is keeping secrets, but it’s fine- secrets are always on the menu where her family is concerned. She sure as hell would never marry a man who works for her father, but friendship with a neighbor is okay, right? And when Reena’s career takes a nosedive, Nadim happily agrees to fake an engagement so they can enter a couples video cooking contest to win the artisan bread course of her dreams.Īs cooking at home together brings them closer, things turn physical, but Reena isn’t worried. If the Captain America body and the British accent weren’t enough, the man appears to love eating her bread creations as much as she loves making them. At least until her father moves his newest employee across the hall–with hopes that Reena will marry him.īut Nadim’s not like the other Muslim bachelors- du-jour that her parents have dug up. But when caring for her precious sourdough starters, Reena can drown it all out. Reena Manji doesn’t love her career, her single status, and most of all, her family inserting themselves into every detail of her life. I cannot emphasize enough how hungry this book will make you.Īccidentally Engaged might be my top pick for “don’t read while hungry.” Between our heroine Reena’s bread baking (there’s rye, there’s challah, there’s an ongoing battle with a sourdough starter) and her Indian and East African cooking, I was craving a feast pretty much the whole time I was reading this book. RECOMMENDED: Accidentally Engaged by Farah Heron is $2.99! Kiki reviewed this one and gave it an A-:
