Accidentally Vacationed with an Incubus

Briar Coven, Book 2

De: Belle Blakley

Narrado por: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

When 27-year-old Jen is released from prison, she returns to her childhood home, hoping to rebuild her life before next year’s Samhain summoning. But things aren’t quite as she left them. Her home—once her safe haven—has been turned into a novelty vacation rental and is currently occupied by a maddeningly gorgeous incubus who refuses to leave. To make matters worse, an old police file has surfaced, hinting that there’s more to her parents’ deaths than the crime she barely remembers committing. With her magic still suppressed and the weight of her past closing in, Jen isn’t prepared to face old ghosts… or the temptation standing in her kitchen making pancakes.

Devlin has spent the last nine years aching for a mate who has yet to summon him, and he’s done waiting. Ready to ditch Fate and take control of his own love life—starting with a well-needed vacation in a supposedly haunted cabin—Devlin is determined to find an emotional connection with someone on his own terms. What he doesn’t expect is a sharp-tongued, irresistibly stubborn witch barging in, claiming the house is hers. Neither willing to leave, a bargain is struck—he’ll help her fix the sensual scenes in her romance novel if she teaches him how to date.

But as teasing turns to tension, and lessons blur into something more, they realize there’s one thing that can’t be faked—desire that feels like destiny.

Accidentally Vacationed with an Incubus is book two in an interconnected series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone with its own complete story and satisfying HEA. While AVWAI is cozy paranormal romance with plenty of humor, steamy tension, and a touch of spooky charm, it also explores darker themes such as grief, guilt, and self-forgiveness. Listeners should check the content warnings before diving in.

Matchmaking Boo-Dini Style

Gleeful Goblin Review: The first book in this series got me hooked on this world in no small part due to the Samhain ritual of summoning your fated incubus when you're a witch in the Briar Coven. It's charming and weird in the best way because it almost needs both partners to be hopeless romantics but definitely needs one of them to be a jaded version of said romantic. I feel like this second book leans hard into the disappointment side of things but with both our main characters! Life and love haven't turned out at all as planned for both of these two, so they're separately determined to make a new start of things and give the finger to Fate. But that's the thing about Fate....it doesn't give a fig about your finger. And in this case, love is gonna getcha no matter how much you want to avoid it (Jen) or you want to find it on your own and have someone choose you regardless of being fated to do so (Devlin). I'm also totally enchanted by Boo-Dini and when you get to that point in the story I bet you will be too.

I adored this story when I read it as a book but predictably I fell even more in love with it as an audiobook. The duet narration is sensational and these two voice actors do a beautiful job bringing the characters to life. Both actors felt so authentic to me in how they portrayed Jen and Devlin it was like having the inner narration I'd had in my head while reading the book. Which felt utterly satisfying and the listening experience left me totally absorbed. 5/5 Stars

4⭐️3.5🌶

It was an amazingly good surprise to hear this was duet narration, my favourite kind! And who better than the Bordeaux's!
The characters were fun, and the story was good, a nice light hearted listen! Bohdini was clearly the star of the show!

Accidentally vacationed with an Incubus

OMG the first audiobook was incredible but this one is the icing on the cake! I had so much fun listening to this! the voice actors were incredible! they did such an amazing job! the story was told so beautiful that I could feel the emotions!

Adorable

What a fun read! There are some deeper threads but I enjoyed this story immensely. Jen spent 9 years in prison and all she wants is a moment to collect herself. What she doesn’t want is a squatter the house has invited in for a vacation. However when she arrives at her house there’s an incubus enjoying a bubbly. It’s a funny romance with a twisted mystery. The outcome is unexpected but I enjoyed the book from start to finish and I would love a Boodini to brighten my days and be in charge of my house. I adored the author aspect of this story as well. The whole story line was just fantastic and a fun way to guide the story.

Narration was phenomenal. They immersed you in world bringing so much emotional depth to the story.

This series is amazing!

Story -❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spice -🌶🌶🌶
Narration -⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Accidentally Vacationed with an Incubus is book #2 in the Briar Coven series. This series is so original. I was pulled into this story from the start and savored every minute. This is a slow-ish burn as Jen has returned to her cabin after 9 years in prison for parent's death. Devlin is on vacation, tired of waiting on his mate to summon him. She needs a muse for her romance novel, he wants to date to get over his non-existent mate. There is some intrigue and lots of spice once the book research gets going!

The duet narration was fantastic again! Jake and Bridget Bordeaux return to bring this story to life. Loved these two in this story. 5/5 stars!!

Absolutely in love with Jen and Devlin's story!

Someone please tell Belle Blakely I need a BooDini!! While Jen and Devlin were seriously the cutest thing EVER, BooDini stole my heart immediately!! Even if it did make a flub or two or...

Jen broke my heart time and time again in Accidentally Vacationed with an Incubus. Recently released from prison for committing a crime that still haunted her, all she wanted to do was return home. Yet, it seems that her home already had a guest. And I don't mean BooDini.

Devlin is tired of waiting for his mate to summon him, so he takes it upon himself to start dating in the mortal world. He needs a break, his friend hooked him up with a rental, easy peasy. Except, not so much, because he never expected Jen.

As these two strike up a deal to help the other out they quickly realize that there is much more at stake than either one of them anticipated. Plans are just as easily broken as they are made and as the story unravels you start to see this book is more than just a love story. It is a mystery.

Honestly, this is my second Belle Blakely book, and she already has a fan for life. I'm captivated by not only the story unfolding, but the chemistry her characters share. It is nothing short of electric.

A must read for any monster lover who enjoys the sweeter side of life.

Big shoutout to Bridget Bordeaux and Jake Bordeaux who narrated these characters so phenomenally well that I am going to have a hard time seeing them as anything other than Jen and Devlin.

Love this series!

This book was just as fun and entertaining as the first in the series! Blakely continues with the dynamic duet narration team of Bridget Bordeaux and Jake Bordeaux, an absolutely stellar wife-and-hubby duo. Their chemistry shines in duet-style narration: Bridget reads all female POV chapters and voices every female character, while Jake handles the male POVs and voices. Their voice acting is top-tier. Jake brings that dreamy book boyfriend voice, and Bridget delivers all the sass. They are a perfect pairing! Honestly, I would’ve bought the audiobook just based on these two narrators alone. But let’s talk about the story! Much like the first book in this series, we’ve got a half-witch, half-succubus FMC (Jen) and an Incubus MMC (Devlin). But this time, there’s a twist: Jen has spent the last nine years in prison for killing her parents. Devlin, having gone un-summoned by his fated mate for all that time, has given up waiting and decides to vacation in a supposedly haunted house. And yep-you guessed it! It’s her house. These magical homes have a bit of sentience, and a mischievous ghost named Boodini adds an extra layer of fun to the chaos. What I really appreciated in Blakeley's stories is that while there’s instant attraction (because, hello, we’re dealing with succubus and incubus demon, who literally feed off sexual energy), the story allows the main couple to build a friendship, learn about each other, and truly fall in love. There are also some well-placed breadcrumbs hinting at future books, which I really hope come to life soon! If you’re looking for a paranormal romcom that feels like Practical Magic meets Lost Girl, I highly recommend this series!

Topped the previous book!

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this audiobook for free in exchange for my honest review

Ok, first off, WOW! I didn’t think it’d be possible to top the first book but this definitely did it.

I don’t know how Jen held it together in prison for 9yrs not knowing what actually happened. I probably would have gone insane personally. But good on her for keeping it together (for the most part).
Devlin, that poor guy! He thought his mate had abandoned the idea of ever summoning him. I wanted to cry for him. 😭 He was so sweet and understanding with Jen and it made my heart break even more for him.
The neighbors…ugh they really had me fooled. The whole time I was like “it’s gotta be the ex. I could totally see a crazy ex doing this then trying to weasel his way back in like ‘oh look at me trying to help! I’m the good guy!’ I’ve seen it all before in real life!” But no! Boy was I wrong!
Boodini was an adorable side-character. Dare I say they may even be a 3rd main character. Absolutely loved them!
And the prison warden being a dragon this whole time?! Haha I love it.
My only thing I didn’t like was the virginity aspect. I mean, I get that it helped with the storyline of her not knowing how to write sex scenes in her own book she was writing, but it just made it seem less believable when she finally got to having sex. Maybe succubi are different because when I lost my virginity I was SORE. 😅

Honestly, 10/10 read and I really hope there’s more to come. I wish I’d had more free time to gobble this book up all in one sitting instead of taking a few days.

I’d be summoned 👀

Review: I loved this book so much! The second in a series and it did not disappoint! If you have even wondered what would happen when a witch accidentally summons her fated mate but doesn’t even realize it…this book has everything you could want and more. The banter, the storyline and of course - the smut 🙈👀. It was perfect and a well earned 5⭐️ for me!
What would you do if you “accidentally” summoned your mate after a traumatic event?!
