This book had no business being this funny, spicy, and unexpectedly heartwarming…….yet here I am, completely smitten.

If you’re looking for a magical romcom with big city vs small-town tension, one snarky Southern FMC, a swoony (and slightly uptight) city boy, and the world’s most adorable fantasy livestock (yes, piggycorns), Stupid Magical Love delivers in every way.

Rowe Wadley’s Georgia farm is hanging by a thread. Magic’s vanished from Mystic Meadows, her rainbow-horned piggycorns aren’t selling like they used to, and the bank is circling like a buzzard at a picnic.

Enter: Pane Maddox, suit-wearing, city-slicking hotel exec who needs to prove he can turn any struggling business around in sixty days. His prize? Becoming president of a luxury hotel chain. His challenge? Rowe’s chaotic, magic-deprived piggycorn farm.

Cue the fish-out-of-water antics. Pane has no clue how to slop hogs (even magical ones), but he rolls up his sleeves and tries, while Rowe is determined not to fall for his green eyes, killer jawline, or… damn it, the way he looks holding a piglet.

What made this magical for me:

* Rowe is that girl: sarcastic, stubborn, fiercely loyal to her roots. She's the kind of heroine I want to be best friends with and maybe run a mildly cursed farm with.
* Pane has golden retriever energy… buried under a Type A shell. He starts out cold and corporate, but the way he slowly melts for Rowe (and Mystic Meadows) gave me major romcom butterflies.
* Piggycorns are my new emotional support animals. They snort glitter and eat moonbeams. That’s it. That’s the review.
* The magic is light, but the emotional beats hit deep. Amy Boyles walks that perfect line between whimsy and warmth. Sure, there’s a bet, some spark-fuelled banter, and magical mayhem—but there’s also grief, second chances, and the terrifying freedom of letting yourself love again.


Stupid Magical Love is the book equivalent of fresh peach pie and a little stardust, it’s sweet, swoony, and entirely unbothered by being a little silly sometimes.

If you’ve ever wanted to run away to a magical farm, fix everything with elbow grease and love, and kiss a man who once thought your rainbow piglet was a dog… this is your moment.

Now excuse me while I go price out farmland and see if piggycorns are real.

An adorable little romance that warms the heart. I liked this so much. So cute. Amy Boyles is a master.
