*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
This is the most adorable crossover cozy ever!! We get Roxy and Patrick on their honeymoon and they just happen to be visiting Whispering Falls where they meet June. This is best mash up of both worlds ever. The combination makes it impossible to stop reading once you get started. Before you know the book is over and you are sad there is no more. The perfect escape into a magical cozy. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.
Roxy Bloom and Patrick Cane are on their way to Whispering Falls, Kentucky, for a honeymoon weekend. They check out the town and Roxy stops by a shop and gets some lotion.
That night they were going to a tree lighting in town and a new friend of Roxy’s was upset because she could not find her friend Micheal. So both girls when to look. Then Roxy got up the Santa Sleigh to get a better look and ending up falling into the sleigh and on the dead body of Micheal. Both Roxy and June Heal both start looking into the murder. This book is a fun read with twists and turns and a lot of suspects. If you like a good mystery this is a must read. “I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy.”,
This truly is a charming blend of two series. Roxy Bloom and her husband, Patrick go to Whispering Falls for their honeymoon. They’ve heard it’s a magical, cozy little town and they’re looking forward to spending time there. They meet several people, including June Heal. Something seems off to Roxy, but she can’t place it. Every time she’s with June she gets that ‘off’ feeling even more. When there’s a murder in town, Roxy just has to look into it and June has to try and stop her. Who is going to solve the mystery? I’m not telling! I love this book and intend to keep reading books by this author. The plots and characters are always great, along with the mysteries. It’s definitely a cozy worth reading.
this is a crossover story with both June and Roxy . they do not trust each other but they have to work together if you have read any of the other books you will enjoy reading this one. this is a wonderful cozy with magic, animals and romance.
A delightful cozy mystery. The mix of June and Roxy is fantastic. But the mystery itself wasn’t much of a challenge.
I received a copy of this book as a gift from the author. This is my honest review.
I really enjoyed A Charming Blend. This is such a fun book. I love that this is a crossover between two of my favorite series. I love these 2 main characters and it was so fun to see them working together! The mystery is interesting. I wonderful novella to read!
Honeymoon…really?
What a good magical story for the Christmas season and I loved the characters and animals and how they all had a role to play.
A magical coincidence?
I’ve only read a few of Tonya’s books but Christmas and magic? I’m game! And this book is a quick intro to two of her Siri-es…ooops, series. It’s a quick read and a whole lot of fun. 5/5
This was a great mash up of two very love able characters and series. I have only read one June Heal novel and reading this has made me want to start her series from the beginning. I love how June keeps Roxy on her feet and in a constant state of confusion. Not very many people can go tow to toe with her when it comes to solving a crime. I hope there are more crossovers in the future.
There are so many wonderful characters in this book that I never wanted the story to end. I have to say my favorite was Prince Charming. He’s a cat with a unique gift and oh so adorable too. Going on your honeymoon is suppose to be fun and romantic. For Roxy and Patrick as they visit Whispering Falls they experience a honeymoon filled with magic and charm. The town is enchanting and full of surprises. I would love to go there and experience the charm it has.
Trouble seems to follow the honeymooners as a body is discovered while the tree lighting is going on. Is it a coincidence that Roxy was just speaking to the fiancée of the person who was found murdered? The author really does an amazing job of giving readers vivid details of the town and the unique gifts some people possess.
The story was easy to follow and so much fun to read. Roxy finds herself helping solve the murder and it was fun to read all the magical things that happened in the town. I loved getting to know Roxy and Patrick and following them along as their honeymoon was quite different from your typical destination. The mystery is intriguing and I loved how the author gave us clues to follow along as Roxy and June investigate. I like the crossover of characters from other books and how well they blended together to create a story that was so entertaining.
I received an ARC copy from the author. The review is my own opinion.
This is an easy read story about a newly wed couple who are given a honeymoon package for a week at Whispering Falls…a magical town. There is a murder committed and several suspects. Who is the murderer? Why was he murdered? What’s going on in Whispering Falls? Is it truly a magical place? I received this book as an Advanced Reader Copy and I volunteered to review it. I love Tonnya Kappes mysteries and recommend this book to everyone.
A Charming Blend was such an enjoyable story. I really enjoyed the crossover aspect of this book. June and Roxy are always interesting, and this is definitely one not to be missed.
This is the best of both worlds when favorite book characters June Heal from the Magical Cures series and Roxanne Bloom from the Killer Coffee series meet. Roxy is on her honeymoon at Full Moon Treesort in Whispering Falls when a murder occurs. The townspeople have all heard about Roxy and her nose for solving crime, that they including June try everything to keep her in the dark about Whispering Falls and on track with her honeymoon. But not even special potions made by June will keep Roxy from trying to solve a mystery.
With a little bit of magic and the smarts of two feisty sleuths, the ladies work together to solve the murder and June manages to keep Whispering Falls hidden magic a secret. I sure hope that Roxy will come back to town again.
FUN, QUICK READ!

A superbly written, fun and surprising novella that combined two favourite characters in a wonderful cosy mystery tale with surprises galore. Another must-read by this great author.
A Charming Blend was the best crossover book of two series that I can remember reading. The book was fun and an exceptional quick read that can be completed in a few hours. It was hard to put my kindle down. Roxy and June worked well together to solve the latest murder. I found their interactions fun and interesting at the same time. I truly liked the effort that June put into keeping Roxy occupied and how Roxy was able to avoid them and to observe magic. I have great appreciation on how both characters received ample time to share their perspectives. I can see more adventures coming from both ladies. The opinion expressed in this review are mine.
