The Solstice Swap

The Solstice Swap Duology, Book 1

De: Danielle Garrett

Narrado por: Amanda Ronconi

The Holiday meets Practical Magic in this witchy winter rom-com.

After catching her food columnist boyfriend cheating, Andrea Wickham figured her Christmas was already ruined. But things go from bad to bah humbug when he publishes a vindictive review that throws her magical bakery’s busiest season into jeopardy. On top of that, she desperately needs to finish writing her third cookbook, and her creative muse has gone into early hibernation.

With her deadline looming, Andrea takes a chance on a house swap vacation to small-town Vermont, hoping the fresh air and snowy landscapes will cast a winter spell and coax the muse back into action.

The plan: hunker down in a cozy mountain hideaway, finish her enchanted cookbook, and absolutely, positively avoid all men.

The reality: the townhome next door is a full-on construction zone and the contractor is an infuriatingly handsome man with a dimpled grin that has Andrea’s thoughts firmly on the naughty list.

Now Andrea’s caught between two worlds—her glittering LA life and the quiet charm of Maple Crossing, where one cinnamon roll of a man makes her wonder if she’s been looking for love in all the wrong places.

Can a city witch trade her stilettos for snow boots and still live happily ever after?

Love Amanda Ronconi’s Narration

Such an entertaining listen! It will be difficult to wait a year for the next book! Fingers crossed it will be released early 🙂.

Cute witchy Christmas romcom!

If hallmark Christmas movies met Sabrina the Teenage Witch (90s version), you’d get this book! Such a fun cozy read for the winter season! Complete with a cute dog and a sarcastic talking cat. Can’t wait for the second book in this duo!

This hit the spot

This holiday romance totally hit the spot. A sweet patisserie owner travels across the country from a magical LA suburb to a quint romantic Vermont town to work on her next holiday cookbook. What could be more wholesome? The last thing she expects is to find out that the house she’s staying in has a snarky, talking feline familiar and a sexy contractor working next door. There is an instant attraction between the two but they come from such different worlds, can a relationship last longer than her short term vacation? Only time will tell.

Very Hallmarky

Its sappy sweetness is one reason to love it. We clamor for these kinds of stories at the festive time of year. I’m always on team Danielle and Ronconi. It felt a little rushed at the end but had the requisite kiss. I’ve would have preferred more magic. It barely got a mention. Also, Phantom was my favorite character and I didn’t get proper closure when we said goodbye. So fun fun to kick off the season. Not sure I feel it was worth the credit but would spend it again for another Garrett and Ronconi.

Danielle and Amanda did it again!

I absolutely loved this! The team of Danielle Garrett and Amanda Ronconi are gold. There is nothing like a holiday HEA to bring all the romance & comedy vibes.
