Stay for a Spell
by Amy Coombe
Adult Fiction – Cozy Fantasy – Romance
April 14th, 2026
Goodreads
A cursed princess must discover what her heart truly longs for in this charmingly cozy romantic fantasy for everyone who’s ever lost – or found – themselves in a bookshop.
Princess Tanadelle of the Widdenmar is disillusioned with life as a princess. She longs for real conversation, the chance to build a life of her own making, and uninterrupted reading time.
During a routine royal visit to the town of Little Pepperidge, Tandy’s dream comes true when she finds herself cursed to remain in a run-down bookshop until she unlocks her heart’s desire. Certain that someone will figure out how to break the curse eventually, and delighted by the prospect of an entire bookstore of her own, Tandy settles into life among the stacks. She finds it easy to exchange balls and endless state dinners for teetering piles of books and an irritatingly handsome pirate who seems bent on stealing her stock.
She even starts to believe she’s stumbled into her very own happily ever after.
There’s just one, minor problem: as Tandy’s royal duties go unfulfilled, her frantic parents start sending princes to woo her, each one of them certain their kiss will break the curse. After all, what more could a princess want but a prince?
So let me get this straight: you’re saying this book is about a princess who is cursed (cursed, hah!) to stay inside and run a bookshop in a cozy little town? And there’s a pirate? Say no more, because I already now I need this book!!
Tell Me:
Will you be reading this book?
This is a new title to me but oh how I want to read it right now! Is it April yet?
I know, right? It sounds so good!
LOL, doesn’t sound so cursed to me! I’d love to be stuck in a bookstore!
Haha, my thoughts exactly 😉
This is one of my upcoming reads and I can’t wait!
I hope you’ll love it!
