Every autumn, Moonbright, Maine, is the picture of charm with its piles of crisp leaves, flickering jack-o'-lanterns ... and a touch of the sweetest kind of enchantment. Witches, goblins, the occasional ghost--they're all sure to be spotted at the annual Halloween parade, where adults and children alike dress in costume to celebrate Moonbright's favorite holiday. And no place has more seasonal spirit than Bellaluna's Bakeshop, a family business steeped in traditional recipes, welcoming warmth--and, legend has it, truly spellbinding, heart-melting treats ... Between good-natured Halloween tricks, frothy pumpkin lattes, and some very special baked goods, for three Moonbright residents looking for love--whether they know it or not--the spookiest thing will be how magical romance can suddenly be ... PRAISE FOR THE COTTAGE ON PUMPKIN AND VINE "This wonderful, well-written collection calls to mind brisk autumn nights cuddled with a loved one." --Publishers Weekly "This diverse trio of stories bring three couples to love with a charming, slightly sexy Halloween flair ... Sassy, funny, and dusted with magic." --Library Journal "Delightful and spicy. . . . With humor and a little mysticism thrown in, each story winds its way to a happy ever after. Every pairing comes to fruition in a unique way." --RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars Includes cookie recipes!

I meant to post yesterday, but the day was a bit wonky for me. This package cheered me right up. Thank you so much @Avanders for such a lovely #fffs gift. I'm very excited to read the books and try the tea. I've already broken into the butter toffee pretzels, they are delicious! Thanks againa

Avanders Yay I‘m glad you liked it!! 🍁🍎🍂♥️ 3mo

Mehso-so

Three different short stories but connected, everything happened in the same town during Halloween season. I only liked the second story which was so funny. The first one was boring for me and the third one has many conflict of interest concerns, a mayor created a job position to have near someone he likes? Fall in love with her? As supervisor? And it didn‘t matter if she is late because she was with him? Really?🤔🙁2⭐️Because I liked one story.

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 2y

The first story was very cute, the other two were very cringe and I bailed on both. Good news that first one was Halloween themed! +25 +1 for #teamhendrix #Scarathlon2021 #20in4 #Halloween #LittenListen

⭐️⭐️ Meh, I didn‘t realize this was three different short stories and very heavy on the insta romance. Was hoping for something a little different.

The premise is cute, but this collection of three novellas by different authors was uneven and completely unbelievable. Magic cookies work love spells in almost laughable ways. It‘s light and an easy read-perfect waiting room and airplane fare for me. But I wouldn‘t go out of my way for this one.

This was supposed to be a calm, relaxing day. It was anything but. 😬 However, I did finish this book tonight!

Purely a #coverlust read. I did not realize it was 3 short stories, heavy on the romance and light on quality.

Sweet Magic: The bakery setting and family dynamics were nice.

Love Spells Disaster: Awful and boring.

Sweet on You: The old lady was funny. That‘s it.

I didn‘t realize this was a book of 3 short stories. Just finished the first story, which was just okay. But very full of Halloween fun, set in a small town in Maine.

So what if it‘s 90 degrees outside? It‘s October, and this book from @BlameJennyJane from the wonderful #cozyswap box she sent is perfect for the season. It looks like so much fun, so it‘s #nextup. Only problem is the cover, which is making my salivate. I will try not to slobber all over it 😂

Horrible. Unless you like cheesy bodice-rippers. 🤢 Thought it was a cozy novel set in a bakery. Actually three short stories.
