From New York Times bestselling author Tricia O’Malley, Charmed meets The Pumpkin Spice Café in this cozy romantasy about a witch returning to Scotland to break a family curse—only to clash with one grumpy Scotsman determined to protect his town from her haywire magic.
She’s hexed. He’s vexed. And for Scotland’s most magical small-town, their feud might just spell disaster.
Sloane MacGregor swore she’d never return to Briarhaven, but with her twenty-fifth birthday looming—the day witches come into their magic—her grandmother summons her and her sisters back for one tiny task: break the centuries-old curse haunting their bloodline.
Knox Douglas, Briarhaven’s grumpy mayor, has worked tirelessly to make his town a haven for magical folk. The last thing he needs is a cursed MacGregor wreaking havoc. It doesn’t matter he once crushed on her. For the sake of Briarhaven, Sloane has to go.
But magic has other plans—and in Briarhaven, love really is a witch.
My thoughts: The MacGregor sisters have returned to their hometown of Briarhaven to take care of their grandmother, Broca, who is recovering from hip surgery. But in doing so they bring a spell of really bad weather, part of the family curse that generations of MacGregors have had to deal with, and Briarhaven isn’t happy about it.
Specifically the town’s provost – Knox Douglas, whose family have been looking after the town for about as long as the MacGregors have been cursed. But his teenage crush on the eldest sister, Sloane, hasn’t gone away, in fact it’s now full on lust.
And that doesn’t bode well, considering it’s his job to make them leave town.
Of course Sloane thinks he’s a nightmare…at first.
As the sisters attempt to find a way to end the curse, Sloane needs to learn to control her newly blossomed magick and stop Knox from making them leave. Sparks fly and things get spicy.
A fun, quirky rom com in a Scottish town replete with fae, dragons, witches and wood trolls, perfect for any Charmed fans (like my sister) or just lovers of a little romance.
Also, how do I get my own emberwolf? Half puppy, half dragon? Yes please!
