Molly Otto's review:
I'm so happy to see Toby ad part of the Cauldrons and Kisses collaboration! He's been my goto fluffy author since I found his Collection of Strays series, and I'm happy to say he's sticks true to that style in anything he writes.
Quinn & Bennet are co-workers who have harbored major crushes on each other yet to nervous or shy to do something about it. With the help of a magical pocket watch along with a not exactly helpful student, they are stuck in a time loop together. They learn to embrace it and enjoy each day for what its worth, along with learning more of each other. Toby does an amazing job of explaining everything where you can picture the Magic as it's casted along with the places they go. This is a slow burn by Toby standards, and that's honestly what makes the story so beautiful. You feel them grow closer and fall in love before having the courage to admit those feelings aloud.
I absolutely enjoyed this book! This story is about Quinn and Bennet who are professors at a magical campus. Quinn has been crushing on Bennet for ages, and when Quinn has to sort through someone's estate sale items, Bennet is the first one to volunteer. Neither of these men could've guessed what would happen next..
I liked both Quinn and Bennet's characters, they both were so bubbly and bright. Usually with the stories Toby writes we get sweet, short stories that leave us smiling and knowing that there'll be a happy ever after. Whereas this one was a bit different than Toby's other stories, which I loved! While we still got a happy ever after and plenty of sweetness, it took a bit for the two MC's to get to that point where they realized and admitted their feelings for one another.
I found the aspect of them repeating the same day over and over again to be really interesting. I liked how it was creative and unique. And while it did her a bit repetitive at times, Toby created new scenes and scenarios within each day repeating itself, which I found helped break up the monotony. Overall a terrific story!!
