Love's a Witch

A Cozy Fantasy Romance

De: Tricia O'Malley

Narrado por: Imogen Church, John Hartley

From New York Times bestselling author Tricia O’Malley, Charmed meets The Pumpkin Spice Café in this cozy romantasy about a witch returning to Scotland to break a family curse—only to clash with one grumpy Scotsman determined to protect his town from her haywire magic.

She’s hexed. He’s vexed. And for Scotland’s most magical small-town, their feud might just spell disaster.

Sloane MacGregor swore she’d never return to Briarhaven, but with her twenty-fifth birthday looming—the day witches come into their magic—her grandmother summons her and her sisters back for one tiny task: break the centuries-old curse haunting their bloodline.

Knox Douglas, Briarhaven’s grumpy mayor, has worked tirelessly to make his town a haven for magical folk. The last thing he needs is a cursed MacGregor wreaking havoc. It doesn’t matter he once crushed on her. For the sake of Briarhaven, Sloane has to go.

But magic has other plans—and in Briarhaven, love really is a witch.

Great start to a new ser

I am a big fan of this author and have read every book she has written, often then listening on Audible, too. This is a compelling story and I am curious to see where the series goes.

I do have feedback on the narration. I appreciated hearing 2 narrators, one male and one female. That said, I found it quite jarring for them to go back and forth with chapters. The male narrator was iffy with his female characters. It would be so, so, so much more compelling if they could read together, dividing up the male and female characters, more like a "full cast" rendition. If that can't be done, I'd prefer one narrator for the entire book.

A powerful love story!

Note: Steamy Sexual Content:
This author has such an incredible imagination. This story is completely unpredictable, which is the first thing I loved about it. But all the fantasy, the descriptive details, the rich characters, their backstory, their present story is so completely full and exciting, it creates one very compelling, creative and captivating story. I loved it & highly recommend it. As far as the narrators, I have a very critical ear when it comes to declaring good narration. I work with authors & narrators and check audio books before they are uploaded to ACX. Therefore, I can be tough to win over. Secondly, I am typically not a fan of two narrators involved in one story. However, these two narrators worked out beautifully. I must admit I am very impressed. Well done!
Don’t pass this one by.

great story well told and performed

Tricia O'Malley is at the top of her game in this title. she quickly engages us into the lives of family, town, and familiars and takes us on a wonderful sleigh ride of a story. The book is wonderfully narrated by two performers, with a dual storyline told in first person by the two protagonists. Heartily recommended!

Great Story, Not so great narrators.

I am having a hard time getting through this one. I absolutely love all of Trisha's books, but the narration on this one... Whew. Not good. Between the screeching and screaming of the female narrator, and the monotone of the male narrator, it is a very hard listen. The story is entertaining and fun. I wish I had bought the actual book and not.

I loved it!!

Another book by this author I have adored! The MMC and FMC are written and preformed perfectly. I strongly recommend all of Tricia’s books especially if you love romances that take place in Ireland and Scotland.

Good story, horrific narrator

This is the very first Tricia O’Malley’s books that I have really struggled with the narration on. They affected accent, the fake voices. Shudder!! It would’ve been better if we’re all read in monotone. The storyline was fun.

the storyline was Sweet!

I found at times the female audio performer was hard to understand ( might be that I'm not used to Scottish accents). The overall story was great and I look forward to additional books in the series!!

Characters were great! Even Mandy. Lol.

It’s fun when authors bring a character in the storyline from another series, whether just mentioned or is there with purpose.

Loved it!

Great story and hopefully world building. Excellent narration! Great characters, Knox is every women’s dream. Sloane grew so much by the end. I wish I had Broka as my grandmother. Hopefully we’ll get stories about nova and Lyra, the other two sisters. There are hints about Lyra’s potential Beau.
