At the bright-eyed age of eighteen, witch Harlow “Harry” Pierce attended her first Fates Haven Finding Ceremony certain the Blue Willow Wisp would lead her to her Fated match, her cougar shifter boyfriend, Jaxon Atwood. But Fate had other plans, guiding her best friend to him instead. With a broken heart, all her belongings, and a vow to never return, Harry did the only thing a broken-hearted witch could do. Run.
Thirteen years later, she returns to her magical hometown—with her half-human, half-shifter goddaughter in tow—hoping that not only would the town work its magic on the troubled teenager, but that the local Alpha of the Rocky Mountain Pack could help Grace identify—and control—her fiery abilities.
Jaxon Atwood was a shifter of few words and even less patience… until his mother retired as Alpha of the Rocky Mountain Pack and left the running of things to him. It’s a headache he didn’t need, and one that brought the witch who’d ripped his heart from his chest knocking on his door.
Ever since the disappearance of the town’s Fate Witch over a decade ago, Fates Haven’s magic has been slowly going haywire. There hasn’t been a Fated Match made in thirteen years, putting the town in serious jeopardy of losing its title of Most Fated Mates Per Population. But now, something is stirring in Fates Haven, Colorado, and it smells like the past, tastes like change, and looks like A SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE.

Harlow "Harry" Pierce caught a hex, and not one of insignificant varieties where you reached for Clearasil pimple patches and hoped your new concealer really did cover it all.

This book had me giggling and kicking my feet from the very beginning. I loved that this book wasn't just about Harry and Jax's relationship, but also explored found family and Harry's relationship with her niece Grace as they navigate some difficulties. I adore Grace and just want more of her desperately.
The pacing never felt rushed, but rather was medium to fast paced and was always propelling forward. I honestly didn't think that all of the challenges would be wrapped up before the end of the book, but they were. It didn't feel forced at all though. April also wrapped up all the mysteries while also leaving the opening for future novels set in Fates Haven.
If you're looking for deep explanation about magic, this is not for you. Rather it is a fun, cozy, paranormal romantic comedy that will having you devour it as quickly as possible. I can't wait to see what is in store for Fates Haven!
