Living as a witch in a mundane world can be dificult. And Danica Waterhouse is navigating just fine, working in her family's fix-it shop (her talent is that she can make things work again, most of the examples are related to appliances). Then she meets baker Titus Winnaker and sparks fly. Almost literally. But Danica's grandmother has drummed into her that their family has a hex whereby, if they fall in love with a mundane, they will also lose their magic. Danica's own mother is pointed to as an example.
While Danica is fighting her feelings Titus is also having issues. His mother died, his father remarried six months later and now the new wife is pregnant. But Danica helps him through that as well.
I liked the relationships that Danica and Titus had with Clementine (Danica's cousin) and Maya (Titus's sister). There was also some sequel bait with the rest of Danica's coven and potentially Titus's circle of friends -- also good relationship building there. It was a nice book with a nice balance of world building and relationship building which can be hard to do in a first book.
