Audiobook Review for Call It Magic by Janet Chapman

 



Series
Setting
Maine (United States)


Welcome back to Spellbound Falls, Maine where love is the greatest magic of all...

Katy MacBain moved to Spellbound Falls with secrets she plans to keep. The newest member of the Fire and Rescue Team, she disappeared for three weeks before arriving on the job. She doesn't understand why Gunnar Wolfe the town's interim fire chief and her boss seems determined to uncover the truth of what happened to her during that time. Or why she's more attracted to him than she's ever been to any other man.

A confident firefighter, Gunnar Wolfe doesn't give up and he's resolved to find out what's wrong with the mysterious and beautiful Katy. Since she is the newest member of his team, he's naturally protective of her, but he's surprised to find himself captivated by the tenacious and talented woman who is so...magical.

This was a beautiful love story full of magic and wonderful characters. Some characters shone brighter than others.

Those big, burly, protective Scots added humor to this plot. Kadie is going through a trying time. The moment she meets Gunner, she is drawn toward him immediately, and in her heart of hearts, we believe she already knew they were soulmates.

Kadie was a sweetheart of a character, genuine, kind, loving, and magical, someone who doesn't like to see others in pain and spreads happiness wherever she goes. Gunner was great, and we loved all those moments when he looked dazed and confused, yet went along with the flow.

This heartfelt emotional romance goes straight to the heart of the reader. There were tons of moments where you went "oh" and "ooh," and other times moments between characters were fun and engaging, especially when Katie was in pissed-off mode; those were downright hilarious, also many heart-melting moments.

Hey guys its Jessica. Sorry, I’ve been MIA for so long. I apologize for the long overdue wait for Janet’s next book. You’ve all been very patient and loyal fans that she loves. She has been working on this book over the last year and a half while dealing with her battle with cancer. It saddens me to say that she peacefully lost this battle this past weekend while her family was by her side. I apologize if this feels sudden. She was a very private person, even to her family. And she truly thought of all of you as her family. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

She was running from a nightmare. They were exactly what she needed.

Sienna fled her wedding barefoot and bleeding, leaving behind a fiancé whose charm hid something dark and dangerous. No plan. No destination. Just away.

Then three bikers discover her bleeding and terrified, and take her to their compound.

Ghost—the intense biker whose quiet dominance makes her feel protected instead of controlled.

Raze—the wild one with wicked humor who shows her how to laugh again.

Forge—the gentle giant whose steady hands show her what tenderness really means.

They're not just offering shelter. They're offering sanctuary. A place in their club, a role in their lives... and nights of pleasure that show her the difference between being taken and being claimed.

Three bikers. One runaway bride. And baggage from the life she left behind.

The Sons of Seduction protect their own. And Sienna's about to discover that being their princess means belonging to all three of them... in every way possible.

Warning: This scorching Reverse Harem MC Romance features one traumatized runaway bride getting thoroughly worshipped by three alpha bikers who share everything—including her. It contains explicit scenes, protective possessiveness, a villain who gets what he deserves, and a guaranteed HEA that's three times as hot.

Sons of Seduction Book 2: Runaway - Can be read as a standalone.

ADD TO GOODREADS

This was an enjoyable, quick read full of steamy characters. Ghost, Forge, and Raze each have distinct personalities that attract Sienna to all of them. They bring different approaches to meeting her needs and making her feel safe. The story is filled with emotion and personal growth as Sienna discovers herself and learns to trust again.

Sienna has faced challenges, but she uncovers the truth before it's too late. The secrets she learns put her in harm's way, and the only way she can be safe is in the arms of the men she has grown to love.

We enjoyed the slow-burning romance where Sienna's men are protective rather than possessive. They take the time to understand each other, and Mama is the strong force that keeps them together and in line. She is fierce yet sweet, protective, and caring. Life may change unexpectedly, but the life Sienna has now is everything she ever dreamed of.









Release Blitz & Review for Cruel Savior by Lilith Vincent



Title: Cruel Savior
An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance
Series: Ruthless Arrangements #1
Author: Lilith Vincent
Genre: Dark Romance
Tropes: Arranged Marriage/Mafia Romance
Enemies to Lovers
Release Date: February 25, 2026

I saved his life. Now he owns mine.

I’ve lived my whole life in a golden cage, the captive daughter of a powerful mafia don. When my father arranges my marriage to Vincenzo Vici, a cold-blooded assassin from a rival family, it’s a death sentence. For both of us. Because my father uses our engagement to slaughter the Vicis and take their territory.

But he makes a grave error. He doesn’t kill the most dangerous Vici of all: Vincenzo himself.

I’ve never met my intended fiancĂ©, so when I stumble upon a handsome, bloodied stranger being tortured in a laundromat in the middle of the night, I follow my instincts and save his life.

Big mistake. The man I saved is Vincenzo Vici, and when he discovers I’m the woman who led his family to slaughter, I realize there are circles of hell my father never showed me.

Vincenzo should kill me. He wants to kill me. Instead, he decides to make me pay in a different way—by holding me to our arranged marriage and exacting his revenge on me.

But Vincenzo isn’t the monster I expected. His ruthless kisses light up my soul. His darkness is a dangerous addiction. And when my father hands me poison and orders me to finish what he started, I’m caught between two impossible choices: loyalty to my own blood, or devotion to the darkness that sets me free.

Author’s note: Cruel Savior is a standalone MF arranged marriage mafia romance with a virgin heroine and a possessive and obsessed alphahole. There is no cheating and no other women. The story is dark, dirty, and delicious, so please read at your discretion.

This was a dark mafia story, action-packed from beginning to end, and featured morally gray characters that fascinated the reader. This is a first-time author for me, glad to have discovered a new series, and I can't wait to see what happens next, as I am already loving its characters.

Vincenzo and Adora's first encounter was like something out of a horror movie, yet it managed to make you smile. Vincenzo was dark, dangerous, and sexy, and despite being a hired killer, he had boundaries he would not cross.  He was a complex character with many layers, and getting to know the man beneath them was incredibly intriguing and captivating.

The unconventional romance between Vincenzo and Adora was interesting, exciting, and suspenseful. I found myself rooting for them as a couple. Adora may appear meek, but she is clever, determined, and fierce when necessary. Vincenzo's nickname for Adora, "Doe," added a sweet touch to their relationship.

The characters were well-developed, and the villains played their roles perfectly. Adora's father was a despicable character, and karma was wished upon him.

 The Vincenzo family was portrayed wonderfully, with Sophia standing out as the glue that held them together. The stories shared around the dinner table about the women of the family added depth to the narrative.

 This gripping tale was filled with secrets coming to light, revenge unfolding, and unexpected twists and turns. The chemistry between Vinicenzo and Adora was intense, and watching Adora grow and reclaim her power was empowering. This mafia romance had all the elements you would expect and was thoroughly enjoyable.
