Trauma. Two broken souls. And a chance at love they didn’t see coming.

Millie is a single mom who doesn’t have the time – or the trust – to date. After experiencing a violent assault as a teen, she’s determined to move on and stay focused on what’s important. But when she meets the mysterious Maxwell, Millie starts to rethink her priorities.

Maxwell is her enigmatic boss who always seems to know exactly what Millie’s thinking. No stranger to trauma himself, he’s spent his entire life alone.

Until he meets his new employee, Millie.

With one look, Maxwell knows she and her daughter are his one chance at happiness. Driven and determined, he wants to give Millie everything she ever wanted, along with the love she didn’t know she needed.

Millie will have to choose between the safe world she has created and the chance to build a new life with the man of her dreams. But can she trust Maxwell with her heart or is he running a scam?

Can two individuals overcome their traumatic pasts and find love?

In Short

- Magic Man had me smiling from the first few pages.
-I really liked seeing their relationship and reading to see what direction things would go in. 
- Magic Man is a gentle romance book 

In Long

I started Magic Man having just finished a really intense and dark book and was so relieved when I found Magic Man was just what I needed. Magic Man had me smiling from the first few pages, I loved Millie's interactions with her smarty pants daughter, Ivy.

Millie and Ivy are a fab pair and have such a lovely bond, it was really lovely reading and getting to know these two. Any scenes with them in were heart warming and at a few points in this book I got a nice warm feeling. 

Maxwell is probably every girls dream! He is just what both Millie and her daughter need but Millie isn't so sure. Millie is a vulnerable character which Maxwell sees from the start and acts on this. I really liked seeing their relationship and reading to see what direction things would go in. Personally for me though I like a bit more of a build up than what I felt there was in Magic Man. 

Magic Man is quite a calm book with not much 'drama' as per se but I enjoyed the characters which Ashley created.  

Final Thoughts

Magic Man is a gentle romance book which was lovely to read and despite it not being 'gripping' I did enjoy reading it and the slower paced book was just what I needed.

Quotes

Nobody just rode a bike their first time. Everybody knew, you started small, and then moved on from there. Dating Maxwell was like jumping on a Harley when what you really needed was a pink My Little Pony bike with training wheels.
