Story3.5 out of 5 stars 21
When Maeve O’Brien’s boss sends her to a dreary old island to finalise some paperwork, she couldn’t be happier. It’s the career boost she needs to become a fully fledged lawyer - besides, it hasn’t been so great on the home front in Dublin. Maeve’s oldest friend and flatmate has kicked her out, and moving back in with her uptight mother has been less than cosy. But her reception on Hy Brasil, a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, couldn’t be any more hostile - it’s as if the island itself wants her gone.

Born to a pioneering family in Upstate New York in the late 1800s, Allene Tew was beautiful, impetuous, and frustrated by the confines of her small hometown. At eighteen, she met Tod Hostetter at a local dance, having no idea that the mercurial charmer she would impulsively wed was heir to one of the wealthiest families in America. But when he died twelve years later, Allene packed her bags for New York City. Never once did she look back.

Haunting story about family secrets
- By HollyColorado on 06-11-16
Publisher's Summary
Kate McDaid is listing her new-year’s resolutions hoping to kick-start her rather stagnant love life and career when she gets some very strange news. To her surprise, she is the sole benefactor of a great great-great-great aunt and self-proclaimed witch also called Kate McDaid, who died over 130 years ago. As if that isn’t strange enough, the will instructs that, in order to receive the inheritance, Kate must publish seven letters, one by one, week by week. Burning with curiosity, Kate agrees and opens the first letter – and finds that it’s a passionate plea to reconnect with the long-forgotten fairies of Irish folklore.
Almost instantaneously, Kate’s life is turned upside down. Her romantic life takes a surprising turn and she is catapulted into the public eye.
As events become stranger and stranger – and she discovers things about herself she’s never known before – Kate must decide whether she can fulfil her great-aunt’s final, devastating request ... and whether she can face the consequences if she doesn’t.
Witty, enchanting and utterly addictive, Reluctantly Charmed is about what happens when life in the fast lane collides with the legacy of family, love and its possibilities … and a little bit of magic.

Enjoyable and exciting, but oddly paced.
I am a young Wiccan, a year older than the heroine, and I too have Irish ancestry, though I was born in the USA; I do believe in fairies among other supernaturals, so I Ioved the folklore and legend surrounding the fae and witches in this story. The characters were for the most part very relatable, and going by the audio alone the book seems well written. However, the climax of the story came very slowly, leaving only 3-4 shirt chapters to level out into an ending that was not entirely satisfying. Ialso wouldn't recommend the audiobook format for those who have trouble understanding heavy accents unlike their own; I had no problem with it, but I know others who would.

Tedious
Would you try another book written by Ellie O'Neill or narrated by Kate Rawson?
I would listen to another book narrated by Kate Rawson, but I wouldn't bother with another book by this author.
What was most disappointing about Ellie O'Neill’s story?
Long winded and a bit boring.
Did Reluctantly Charmed inspire you to do anything?
No

A new take on fairy law
I enjoyed this unexpected book. I laughed and was surprised and delighted in so many ways. Not one of those 'airy fairy' books - and the narrator was delightful.

Fun read - good sunny afternoon book
A bIt of fun! One of those books that can fill a Sunday afternoon in the sun! Fun story, great performance - but with the soft Irish accent the reader could have been reading me a dictionary and I would have stuck with it :)

Very Disappointed
Poor storyline and the whole story was pointless. Not sure what the author was trying to convey or if a message was hidden deep in the subtext and I just missed it but it was not an enjoyable listen.
