Publisher's summary

First in the Donovan Legacy series, Captivated is a spellbinding novel of the ordinary magic found in extraordinary love from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts.

Screenwriter Nash Kirkland is in Monterey, California researching witchcraft for his latest script and finds himself enchanted by Morgana Donovan, who claims she comes from a family of magical practitioners. Skeptical of anything he can’t explain, and wary about trusting his feelings, Nash nevertheless finds his growing desire for Morgana nothing short of supernatural.

Narration

Narrator pronounced “Carmel”, the town, like the candy. Also said secretes, when she meant secrets.

Morgana captivated me too’

Morgana was an absolutely wonderful character. I don’t normally go for supernatural stories. But this audible was believable, funny and held my listening attention. Can’t wait to listen to the next one in this Series. Thanks Nora Roberts

The magic and the power of love

I enjoyed the characters and the challenges life dished out. They faced each challenge and walked together to the end.

loved the voice of Morganna

Liked that it was a very different story. Not the usual for Nora Roberts. Was funny, sad, and joyous.

So drawn out -no real plot. Just UGH!

Absolutely nothing interesting about this story- could have been finished in 2 chapters. Bewitched was much more fun!

Too slow too predictable

Being a Nora Roberts fan, I had much higher expectation from an almost 8 hours book. Narration was great, I ll search for other books of this voice actor.

The Donovan Legacy book 1

This is my favorite series by Nora Roberts. I fell in love with it when it was released. The story, for the most part, stands the test of time. The narrator of this book was not my favorite.
