A Recipe for Magic and Mayhem

Ellamere Enchanted, Book One

De: J.M. Wallace

Narrado por: Jess Moran

The perfect recipe for a little mayhem…
A dash of accidental magic,
A pinch of town upheaval,
And a large helping of a dangerously handsome stranger.

In the heart of Ellamere, where magic is banished, Abrielle Grainwick works tirelessly to keep her late grandmother’s bakery running smoothly. But when a souffle recipe goes awry, Abrielle must add something she never expected to her long list of things to do: Unsummon the otherworldly man standing in her kitchen.

Thanks to her mistake…
Magic is seeping back into Ellamere.
She’s playing host to a devastatingly gorgeous stranger and his shadow companions.
And she still has no idea what she’s going to enter into the Star Crossed festival’s baking contest.

As one mishap after another strikes their village, Abrielle realizes her new guest may not be as harmless as she hoped. If she wants to return things to normal before someone gets hurt, she must find a way to send him back to where he came from.

With giant toads falling from the sky and a mangy hound at her heels, she sets off on a journey of delectable pastries, self-discovery, heartwarming friendships, and romance. All of which will leave her questioning whether there is a hint of love and magic to be found in the mundane after all.

A Recipe for Magic and Mayhem is book one of the cozy romantasy series, Ellamere Enchanted. It is a low-stakes, sugary sweet, low heat forced proximity fantasy romance set in the small fairytale village of Ellamere. Each book can be listened as a standalone, but is best enjoyed in order of release.

Cozy little break

This book was so cute and cozy. This was a great palette cleanser from the dark romances I typically read❤️❤️

A Pinch of This, A Dash of That

Really cute story of a young woman on the adventure of her life as she tries to find the perfect recipe for her bakery in her attempt to follow in her grandmother's footsteps. Magic and mayhem ensues and love finds a way.

Cute Cozy Fantasy!

I loved this book it was such a cute easy listen. The characters are sweet and you end up adoring them all even the side characters! I love that Damos is a shadow daddy who isn’t ruthless or bad but just sweet and a little timid with his powers. I also love the elements of found family and personal growth we got from our FMC aubrielle. I thought the narrator did an amazing job bringing the story to life via audiobook and will definitely listen to the next one!

Sweet story

I really adored this story. The characters were lovable and the narrator was wonderful to listen to. Sweet romantic story with magic and suspense.

Loved the book and the audio!

I had already read A Recipe for Magic and Mayhem and was so excited to get into the audio version. It is such a cute cozy read and Jess Moran’s voice brings this book to life in such a great way! Love her voicing of the MMC!

Magic and Mayhem

A Recipe for Magic and Martha by J.M. Wallace is a fantastic fairy tale fantasy. Jess Moran did a fantastic job on the narration, Hess brought the spark for life. The story is cozy, fun, sweet, heartwarming, romantic, entertaining, engaging,and enjoyable. A little mayhem can’t be bad right but when mayhem keeps occurring in Ellamere things change but not for the good. One handsome stranger and a girl who is just trying to keep her grandmother’s bakery a float. Will Abrielle save her grandmother bakery? Will Deimos and Abrielle have a relationship? Will Abrielle be able to send Deimos back to his world before something happens? All this questions and more maybe answers when you listen to the story. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

THAT ENDING!!!! OMG I gasped.

HAT ENDING!!!! OMG I gasped.

This story was so freaking adorable, genuinely cozy and sweet. Abrielle and Deimos are so much fun, their adventure to find Deimos' way home is so entertaining. I cannot wait to continue this series!

Jess Moran did a fantastic job at narrating this story!

Fun story of a baker's world going topsy turvy!

I really enjoyed the premise of this story. A baker finds a mysterious cookbook and accidentally does magic, summoning someone from the magical realm that ends up wreaking havoc in her world. I really liked how the romance slowly grew over time, and thought it was well done. However, there was definitely more mentioning of nudity and her checking him out than I tend to like, so I'd definitely leave this for an older audience although nothing actually happens on page besides kissing.
I loved the ending, I thought it was perfect even if I saw parts of it coming. I loved that the conflict didn't just have a bandaid put on it but consequences actually happened overall. One of my favorite parts was the main female character being reminded that her hero was human and though she saw the best with her hero worship, her hero wasn't actually perfect.
I thought the narration was well done, I could definitely tell the different characters apart and I was very entertained throughout.

Surprised

I was so surprised at Mabel, why would she try to do that, and I'm also glad about the king and the princess doing what they did, I thought it was beautiful

A+ Had me on the edge of my seat! I can hardly wait for book 2!

When I first got this book, I wasn't sure what to think, and almost thought it might be a children's or young adults (YA) novel. I was actually pleasantly surprised as I started listening to it, that the characters were well developed and the plot is equally well thought out.

What do you do when you are the last living member of your family, and it's your job to run your grandmother's beloved bakery? That is exactly the position Abrielle finds herself in, but on top of baking and filling not only the towns daily orders, the kings daily orders, any town or seasonal celebrations the king may place orders for, but suddenly she realizes there is an annual dessert contest coming up that her grandmother always won. NO PROBLEM, RIGHT!
Of course, Abrielle is a little concerned, and she tries a new recipe. With this new recipe a very handsome man shows up from the Underworld, and cannot go back unless she sends him back. Oh, and by the way did I mention that Eldemere is supposed to be Magic free? Ooops...I think that Recipe might have gone wrong!
This book kept me enthralled and on the edge of my seat. I personally can't wait for Book 2!
