Love Blooms: A Fantasy Reverse Harem (with a twist)

This book was totally ridiculous, and I loved every minute of it! If you've read the Spells Library Books, set in the Silver Springs universe, you'll know all about this book. If you haven't, go read at least a few, then come back. Trust me, although this is a stand alone, you'll get so much more out of it if you're familiar with the other books, little nods and inside jokes are scattered throughout. It's also very different from the main series. Love Bloom is the spelled book that each of the FMCs read before finding their fate, and in-universe is written by one of the other residents of the town - actually a combination of several of the series' authors. The main plot is fairly straightforward in terms of fantasy and fairytales - evil wizard wants to take over the kingdom, and it's up to the princess and her true love - or true loves, in this case - to stop him. The characters are fun and sweet, and there are so many floral euphemisms I didn't know existed! And of course, they all love happily ever after! I loved it. After it being a running theme through 12 books, I'm glad we got a chance to read it ourselves.
