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.

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!

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.

Cute and compelling

It was wonderful to see the couple gradually get to know and fall in love with each other.
Boodini 😆 great character!
Twist ending was surprising and fitting. Nice to see characters from book 1

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!!

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
