Publisher's summary

Is Her Magic a Gift or a Curse...?

All the Malcolms have some magic, but Lady Felicity's ability to read people's emotions simply by touching them or their possessions overwhelms her. She's reached a marriageable age, but how can she ever wed when she can see so clearly a man's guilty secrets?

Only He Can Tell the Difference....

Ewen Ives, itinerant rake and adventurous inventor, knows better than to underestimate the mischief of the Malcolms. But sparks fly when he encounters Felicity, and Ewen can't seem to refuse her plea for assistance....

My favorite so far

I can honestly say I have no idea why this was my favorite one so far, it just was. I loved everything about it. It was just a great love story. I feel happy and tingly inside. Can’t wait for the next one!

Accidentally married

This third book in the Magical Malcolms series was a delight. I really enjoyed this couple with their trials and tribulations. Poor Lady Felicity, with her gift of psychometry, has to be careful whom touches. Tired of living in the shadows, having to wear gloves all the time, Felicity has had enough. She wants to rid herself of her gift, so she sets out with her sister in search of an ancient book of spells. Stalled in her journey to Edinburgh, she and her sister happen upon one of her older sister's brother-in-law, Ewen Ives. Strangely Ewen is the first man whose touch dies not affect her. Ewen knows he cannot let the two sisters continue their excursion unchaperoned. While searching the library of a local Lord in Scotland, Ewen and Felicity come across a certain "racy" book and after a peek inside, things heat up and the pair are caught in a very compromising situation. To protect Felicity's reputation, Ewen tells everyone they are secretly married. Well, he was unaware of Scottish law, and now they find that in Scotland, the little white lie is actually a reality. So what are they going to do now? You'll have to read the book to find out what happens next and how it all ends.

Enjoyable series

This is my 3rd book in the series and I can’t wait for the next one. I can’t get enough. The narrator is very soothing and I love the characters and storylines and incorporating the characters in the books

Great continuation of the Magical Malcolms.9

There were a few hick ups in the recording, but the overall story was fun.

Good story Great narration

Quite a racy story told well. Narration was excellent. I know a lot of Greg Wagland’s work and he is one of the best. Interesting theme of witch-like craft. Well painted characters.

They were good for each other!

He was realistic but loved her...she was magical and loved him and it worked beautifully!
Narrator was good enough with all those Ives!
overall it took me a bit to get into it and it took forever for them to get naughty!

Sweet

A charming period peace.
It has only won a true racy chapter.
