This is an amazing, well written novella by Darlene Kuncytes. Serena runs a little potions shop and loves being a witch. She loves the quaint old house that she lives in. Her life is perfect.

Dante is a Vampire who has been hired by a Coven of witches to find Serena and bring her back to them.

What happens when Dante tries to help Serena is funny, sexy and oh so much more. Neither of them are ready for what is to come. Definitely a must read to find out what the coven wants with Serena and to find out what happens between Serena and Dante. This novella will have you flipping pages until the end and leave you wanting more. Congrats Darlene on an awesome story.

This is the first book I have read by Darlene Kuncytes and I am in love with her way of telling and writing a story. The cover is beautiful and she gives you the story of a totally sexy vampire and a sassy witch. From page one you are swept into the story and by the end, it leaves you happy but wanting more of Serena and Dante's story. I truly hope she gives us another story with them.
A sweet, charming, sexy novella with a little danger mixed in.
A quick read but a story you don't want to miss.

I enjoyed this book so much! A short but captivating story. My favorite supernatural beings are vampires followed closely by withes. This story was perfect Instalove between the two leading to a supernatural battle. The story then added a jealous witch and a shifter. Loved it!! I will be looking for more.

[Tonya · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this short witch's tale. I think Ms. Kuncytes did a good job, and as with any novella, it's hard to do the story justice when it's so short. I think this story was intriguing enough that it could of been a full size novel and been amazing. However, if you have an hour or so, sit and give this go, you won't be sorry.

[Rhonda · Rating 4 out of 5]

An awesome quick read that will keep you turning the pages until you reach the end. Darlene Kuncytes is one of the best at writing these wonderful little stories. What lies ahead for Serena and Dante will keep you entertained as you follow them. I loved this and will be getting the rest of the books.

Whats your hearts desire?

Dante is a vampire who was hired by a group of witches to find Serena. Serena is a witch who is minding her own business until Dante shows up. When they meet she's very guarded because she had a bad experience with vampires. They do have an instant attraction to each other though. And someone is out to kill Serena and he will protect her at all cost. Absolutely love Darlene! Can't wait to read more!

[Amanda Showalter · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. It was short, sweet, and to the point so there is not too much I can say without giving away plot. Serena is basically a witch who lives on her own in a state away from her family and the two most important things in her life is her house and her shop. She takes after her grandmother and has which powers which upsets part of her family so she rather be alone. Add in a bad history with some unscrupulous characters and you have a bit of a workaholic woman who keeps to herself.

When she is contacted by Dante and is told that he was hired to help her find a certain key a whole new life is opened up to her. The question is is she ready to love and can she possibly love A nonhuman or will her past ruin her happy ever after ending. Add in some betrayal, distrust, bad eggs, some crones she never heard of, and a legacy she never knew existed and you have one heck of an interesting book. I do like books where there is a sense of knowing when it comes to possible mates and I did like this book. It's a nice short and sweet book that I do believe you will enjoy.

[Cassie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hired to hunt down a witch that is next in line to be the queen, Dante is instantly attracted to his charge, Serena. Serena has a shady past when it comes to vampires and is unsure about trusting Dante, but agrees to look for the key. After an attack, they become intimate and work together to discover what the key is. Upon finding it they return to the coven house to discover why Serena and the key were needed. Will Serena be able to accept Dante as her mate? Will their love be able to overcome their enemies?

This is the first book that I read from this author and I thought it was the perfect short, sweet paranormal romance. I loved the concept of the vampire managing to help her overcome her past problems with them. It had the perfect amount of sweetness, hotness, and drama to keep me interested. Highly recommend for someone looking for a paranormal romance with witches and vampires being the main characters! Can't wait to read more from this author!

A Smart and Entertaining Paranormal Romance

I've been steadily reading Darlene's hits as they are written. This one, short and sweet, is indeed a pleasing read.

"A Witch's Hearts Desire" was my first of her Novellas.
Dante, the dashing vampire is on a task to help Serena the witch find a key for a coven of witches. At once they know they are attracted to each other. Naturally they resist, but as they work to find the key they realize they are meant for each other. A bit of smooth and concise writing that builds lovable characters with a minimum of words follows...and of course a happy ending.
A lovely one evening read that will certainly make you want to pick up the next of Darlene's great little romances.

[Rhi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute novella

Serena is a witch. She owns a potion shop and is restoring an old house. She is most certainly not looking for love.

Dante is a vampire, who is hired to find her. He doesn't expect to be so attracted to Serena or protective. But Serena's past causes her to not trust vampires. Can he overcome her distrust?

Ms Kuncytes works hard to write a novella that fits together. Dante and Serena are fun characters and I enjoyed reading their relationship. This is a quick read, with plenty of humor, romance and sex. My only complaint is that the world rules of this book aren't really given. Authors have different takes on paranormal and supernatural creatures and I found it difficult to parse together Ms. Kuncytes' rules. Other than, I enjoyed the read.

[Stephanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Never sure what to expect with a new author, I was pleasantly surprised. A Witch's Hearts Desire is a cute, short read about a spunky witch and a captivating vampire. Happy with life, a quaint potions shop, and an old Victorian home Serena wants for nothing. That is until a devastatingly handsome vampire comes to her rescue. But with an agenda of his own, Dante must help Serena find the key.

Even though it is a lead into an anthology, A Witch's Hearts Desire can be read as a stand alone. A great read for those who love novella's with a happily ever after.

[Staci Simmons · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved the characters in this book. Serena is a witch and Dante is a vampire. Serena hates vampires, or does she? Dante is instantly taken with Serena, will he be able to win her heart while protecting her from the evil were that's following her? Darlene Kuncytes has done it again, grabbing my attention and keeping it there till the end. I can't wait to see what she writes next! Grab a copy today and see what's going on with these two crazy characters!

[Monica · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a very sweet novella. I enjoyed the story and just loved Dante. He was a vampire and a gentleman. Treated Serena sweetly and protected her. Serena was a great character too. She's a real witch and runs her shop and is a little cynical about love as she's been burned before. She was distrustful of Dante at first but the chemistry just really got to her. If anything this was too short, I wanted more! Hope to read more like it soon!

A Witch's Hearts Desire by Darlene Kuncytes

A short fun read! I enjoyed reading A Witch's Heart Desire, a true love story with Witches and Vampires. This story was funny at times and had amusing characters and plenty of action. My favorite character is Serena, she's a hoot! Serena is a witch with her own Supernatural Specialties Shop.

I give A Witch's Hearts Desire 4 stars for its fun read.
I would recommend this book to Adult Paranormal Lovers.

[Diana Page · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dante and Felicity 's story is short and sweet. A witch and a Vampire take on the task of finding something special and along the way find love. Lots of hot sex, not enough intrigue or adventure, could do with more of both, but if you're looking for a quick paranormal romance lunchtime read, this is the book for you . 3.5 ⭐'s . I received a gifted copy and am voluntarily choosing to leave an honest and unbiased review.

[Stacy Bradley · Rating 5 out of 5]

A swoon worthy love story

A beautiful feisty head strong witch
A sexy mysterious bounty hunter vampire

I like this book because the main female character is a witch and i am mad about witches. I also have a soft spot for a dashing vampire

An enjoyable short story about a witch and a vampire. I liked that the characters were developed, and you can see how they quickly fell in love. A few nice twists and exciting moments round out a great short story. I look forward to reading more from this author.

[Dmcl · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Witch's Hearts Desire is a lovely, fast moving story that is cleverly written. It is full of snappy dialogue, tender romance and steamy passion. Throw in a crazy werewolf, a traitorous witch and an eager search and you have a very enjoyable read. Will definitely read more from Ms. Kuncytes.
