Genre : Contemporary Romance
Publisher : Atria
Publication Date June 25th, 2024
The daughter of an aging rock star finds herself working for the hottest musician on the planet and is shocked when sparks start to fly—especially since she swore she’d never, ever date a celebrity—in this unputdownable romance that is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Emily Henry.

She wants three things. He isn’t one of them...

Dumped by her cheating ex, fired from her dream job, and about to lose her Clementine Monroe is not having a good day. So when her sisters get her drunk and suggest reviving a childhood ritual called the Breakup Spell, she doesn’t see the harm in it.

But now Clemmie has accidentally ruined a funeral, had her first one-night stand, and she’s stuck with a new job she definitely doesn’t want—spending six weeks alone with the gorgeous and very-off-limits rock star, Theo Eliott.

He’s the most famous man on the planet. Her life’s a disaster. As their summer together turns into its own kind of magic, is Clemmie cursed to repeat the mistakes of her past—or will her future see all her wishes come true?

B&N
I love reading celebrity/rockstar romance books especially when the MMC is as sweet as Theo in Under Your Spell by Laura Wood(out now)!❣️✨ This was soo cute and I ended up loving pretty much everything about this one - from the characters to the romance and the banter!⁣
Clementine Monroe hasn't been having an easy time - she's just been dumped by her ex who took away all their furniture(and the cat 😾) and she's about to lose her job too. So, when her sisters bring up their old Breakup Spell+a fun childhood ritual that they'd invented)- she doesn't mind doing it and they end up wishing for three things while cursing her ex 🤣 ⁣
After a funeral and an exhilarating one night stand, Clemmie's sister offers her a job where she'll have to babysit a rockstar as he works on his album and that's none other than Theo Elliott - her one night stand 😂 Clemmie's track record with rockstars hasn't been good - her dad was one and so was her teenage ex, so she's hesitant to spend time with Theo at first. But as they grow closer over time Clemmie begins to wonder whether some of her wishes might be coming true after all.⁣
This was my first Laura Wood book and I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I loved Clemmie and her sisters - Serena and Lil. The sisterhood between them was amazing and made me envious at times! And the romance with Theo was so sweet and swoonworthy - as he was the opposite of the usual cocky/arrogant rockstars. He's just a cute music nerd😆 And he was so honest and he knew what he wanted. Some of my favorite parts were the caretaking scenes and the time they spent together. Though the spell was mentioned there wasn't anything supernatural here, I'd think of it as manifestation maybe?😂⁣
If you're looking for a really cute romance with some lovable characters and fun banter - you should definitely give this one a try!❣️✨
