Whenever I read a Trisha O'Malley book, or listen to it in this instance, it always feels like a gigantic warm hug. I know that I'm in for a big thwack in the feelings and even more exciting, that I'm in for a big dose of sisterhood love.

The other books in this series always filled me with joy and I loved the fact that they are all so different too. Different tropes, personalities and focuses. I loved the humour and heart of the previous books and also how this one deals with some tragic topics.

I think Finlay is my favourite male up to this point as I love his thoughtfulness, care and gentleness. Orla has a tragic past and he doesn't push her to go faster or attempt anything that she is not ready for.

As with the previous, I'm in love with the Agnes/Graham situation, I think Clyde is a gigantic sweetheart and beautifully kind in this book and love the familiars.

I thought that when Trisha mentioned a surprise in this book that we were finally going to see Gragnes be a thing... but no. The surprise is the guest appearance of one of her Tequila Key characters, Miss Elva (Spell check?!) It was lovely to see both worlds mege together so seamlessly

A cracking book for the next in the series.
Thanks so much to Netgalley, Trisha O'Malley and Dreamscape Select for a copy of this audiobook to listen to. All opinions are my own.

Wild Scottish Fortune is part of a series, but can definitely be read alone. This is the first book in the series I’ve read 🎧and was able to enjoy the storyline without feeling lost. Definitely will go back and start with the first book so I can get a bit more background on the side characters. The audiobook is done in a duel narration. Amy Landon and Will Watt did a fantastic job switching between all the different characters and bringing the story to life in a captivating way.

WSF is give cozy witchy cottage vibes and is perfect for a fall read. I fell in love with Orla and Finlay budding romance in this book, especially their banter. Fin completely charmed my socks off with steadfastness,little possessive and persistence in his pursuit of Orla. (Can’t forget how he put his mother in her place not only for himself but her treatment of Orla)💋.

Voluntarily reviewed.

This is my first book by this author and I didn't know that is the part od series. But it was such a cute audio book. The voice actors chosen really brought the characters to life. Orla comes from a poor background, and now owns and runs her own construction business. Finley however comes from a posh background and works for Monroe. Both have dark pasts to overcome.Perfect for the fall. This book was a fun read for someone looking for a light romance with a little spice.
Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to review this title.

Wow. This series has quickly become one of my favorites. I am going to be honest when I got to review this book I went on a binge and listened to all the books in the series first within the last two days. This story was nothing short of perfect. Often times when you have characters that come from different backgrounds the author has them kinda give in and this was not the case. They were working on themselves the whole book I loved that the main man did the research to actually understand what she had been through and certain things that would be harder for her. I loved that a proper charity happened not just one as a front. The development the realizations everything just felt like it was natural to the story and not forced. I can’t wait until the next book comes out. The narrators are also amazing and perfect to fit with the story.

Apparently this is part of a series, but can definitely be read alone!

Meet Orla Clarke. She’s an orphan. She’s a builder (Pint sized, but very good at what she does!) … and, she doesn’t take ‘shite’ from anyone!! 🤣
She also harbors some secrets…I guess you can say they’re dark. 🫣😬
She’s forming new friendships as we go, but really has no family…except of course for Goldie! 😊

Meet Finlay Thompson. He’s managing the rebuild of the buildout of the distillery that Orla is in charge of. He’s handsome, rugged, and as far as Orla can see, very ‘privileged’. You can clearly see he comes from money, and dresses inappropriately for their meetings on the construction site.
And their first meeting? One for the books!!

So when these two meet, well… fire and ice!

Loved ALL of the characters and their interactions and play!
Loved the sweetness of this one…
Loved The Green Lady and Harris too!
Loved how the Magicks are interwoven throughout the story!!
And, loved the wrap up!!

4 bright beautiful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me!

Wild Irish Fortune by Tricia O’Malley
The Enchanted Highlands series #6. Paranormal Scottish romance. Alternating POV. Can be read as a stand-alone but best read in series order as The Order expands.
Orla Clarke is a master builder working on the newest distillery in Loren Brea. She also sees ghosts and that’s why she’s been called to the town. Having grown up in an orphanage, she has learned to rely only on herself. The ghosts may be plentiful but they always want something and she can’t always help.
Finlay Thompson is the director of the distillery project. He loves the old stone building and believes it’s the perfect place for making the gin. Betrayed by family and past relationships, he’s not interested in any new relationships. But with strange things happening around the town of Loren Brae and Orla somehow in the middle of it, he’s intrigued with her and can’t help getting closer.

🎧 I listened to an audiobook narrated by Amy Landon and Will Watt who have done the full series. An excellent performance with specific voices, accents and clear emotions from each in their chapters. Unlike the prior books with mixed country accents, this book’s main characters are relatively local, so the full audio is in a Scottish accent which had me slowing my usual listening rate of 1.5 down a bit to 1.3 to better follow the story. That’s definitely not how I would have heard it in my head if reading an ebook which makes the audiobook all that more enjoyable. The accents, the joy of hearing them falling in love, the humor of the ghost coo and a thousand other small details, makes this audiobook pure happiness to listen to.

The Order of Caledonia strikes again, pulling in another magical guardian. Lots of humor and unlikely events, but it’s ghosts and romance in Scotland, so why not? The ghost coo is hilarious as usual even if he’s making a pest of himself. And it’s the ghosts that start off this romance so while it can be too much for Orla, she’ll have Finlay to help as well as the rest of the friendships of the Order.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Love this series even though it’s a lot outrageous in a romancy way.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley.

Story: 4⭐
Spice: 2 🌶
Narration: 4⭐

Thank you so much Dreamscape select for the advanced listeners copy of this book. This is a dual narration, and they did amazing like always. Both had amazing Scottish accidents.

I really do love this series; they are very lighthearted and whimsical but touches on harder subjects as well. It's a great mix. I was tearing up a few times while listening but laughed and aww.

Great series, all stand alones but it's helpful to start from the beginning to understand the backstory of all the characters.

I thought this would be a vanilla love like many we read, have some fun and close the book BUT!
Yes, it is vanilla like but has so much more to it!
The chapters are divided by Orla’s and Finn’s POV. The characters are very well built, so psychologically and intellectually complex that I thought I was reading about someone real and then it hit me: They are real! There are many Orlas and Finns out there. Maybe, I’m an Orla myself.
This is a magical love story with bits of comedy and some drama. I must confess I almost cried in a lot of moments, but it was such a good book.
I look forward to read the others!
5⭐️

This series has such a piece of my heart.

The folklore, the characters, the setting and the ghost coo! It is such a perfect blend of cozy wonderfulness. This is the first time I have listened to an audiobook for this series and I am so happy I did. The voice actors chosen really brought the characters to life and I have always had a particular soft spot for Will Watt so I was super happy.

Orla was such a beautiful person. I loved how she had built herself up and managed to acheive such great things. She had such a wonderful group around her of strong and supportive friends. Finlay was just the icing on the cake. The two were so brilliant together and its how they described their quiet moments together that I found the sweetest.

While the overall plot was fairly predictable, i love the trials and the was each character finds not only their strength but also their love in each story.

Thank you so much Netgalley and Dreamscape Select for the ALC of this book.

Looking for cozy, paranormal? Look no further! I absolutely love the Enchanted Highland series by Tricia O'Malley. This book gives readers the not-quite-a-meet-cute story of Orla and Finley. Orla comes from a poor background, and now owns and runs her own construction business. Finley however comes from a posh background and works for Monroe. Both have dark pasts to overcome. The narrators Amy Landon and Will Watt give readers an incredible performance, as usual, and readers of Tricia O'Malley will enjoy this love story.

I recommend this book for anyone wanting to read cozy and paranormal romance.

I breezed right through this book in only 2 days! It was hard to put down!

I didn't realize this book was the 6th in a series when I started it, but it held up well on it's own. Enough was explained that I didn't feel lost, but not too much of the prior books was revealed to spoil them for me.

I love that the concept is different from most fantasy/witchy books. The witches powers are more nuanced than just elements or spells alone. Our main female character Orla is a contractor, who happens to also be a "house witch" who can see and communicate with ghosts. Other witches specialize in food, plants, etc. I found it a refreshing change from what I have been reading lately.

Our main male character Fin is the director of the distillery project that Orla has recently started. He's instantly attracted to Orla, but gives her the space and support she needs to come to trust him with her secrets.

My favorite part of the book is how self aware and empathetic the characters are. The main characters both have past issues like neglectful parents, poverty, etc. They recognize both their own issues and each other's and also why they react they way they do in certain situations. They even admit their faults and apologize when they are wrong in a fairly swift manor. Even their friends help them talk through their issues. It's astounding how mentally healthy and mature these characters are compared to other books in the genre.

Wild Scottish Fortune by Tricia O'Malley is a captivating blend of romance, mystery, and Scottish charm. In this sixth installment of the Enchanted Highlands series, Orla Clarke, a builder with the ability to see ghosts, encounters Finlay Thompson, a charming and driven project director. Together, they navigate the challenges of restoring a dilapidated distillery and the haunting spirits that linger within. O'Malley's writing is warm and inviting, and the supernatural elements add a layer of intrigue. This heartwarming and magical tale will leave readers enchanted.
As always I adored this narrator.

I am thrilled to offer my honest opinion about the ALC I received.

I am very excited to be listening to this book! I have enjoyed this full series by Tricia O'Malley--and the accent makes my heart pitter-patter. My full review to follow.
Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for this ARC. All thoughts and comments are my own.

I saw the premise of this book & immediately knew I had to read it. Scotland, witches, ghosts and a love story? What more could I ask for during Fall?

This book was a beautiful story. Orla & Finlay were great characters. I loved Orla's journey of self discovery and learning to accept love. I also thought her being able to see & communicate with ghosts was really cool. Reminded me of the TV show The Ghost Whisperer. Finlay was a grumpy guy because he'd been hurt badly by his parents. I thought the author did a great job with his emotional journey too. He had to learn to not put people on pedestals and accept their flaws. Orla and Finlay together were so sweet. I loved how much Finlay adored Orla right from the start. He just wanted to make her happy which made my heart melt into a puddle.

I enjoyed all the paranormal creatures, especially the ghosts and kelpie. The story is set in Scotland after all, a place filled with a plethora of magical creatures. I thought the ghosts were portrayed in an interesting way too. We even got ghost animals! I also liked the coven of witches and Elva, she was a hoot. The magic system made sense and I liked the idea that Orla had to pass magical tests to join the coven.

Scotland was the perfect setting! Absolutely made me ache to return to this beautiful place. I especially liked the idea of a haunted cottage, so creepy.

Narrators Amy Landon & Will Watt did fantastic. I think they nailed the accents and did a great job bringing the characters to life.

If you're looking for witchy, cottage core vibes with magical creatures and a swoony love story, give this a try. I was able to read this as a standalone.

<strong>Ghosts, magick and love</strong>

I love Orla as a character. She has a sad backstory, but is making a beautiful future for herself.
Finlay seems so stiff at first, but his heart is so kind. He treats Orla so gently.
Of course there is magick to unmask, and ghosts to send on their way, which adds the misunderstanding that might end the possible happily ever after.
I enjoy returning to Scotland and the kelpies and the Order. This is a favourite new series.

I listened to the audiobook. It was fun to listen to this story again. I heard different emphasis that those I saw as I read the book. I recommend Wild Scottish Fortune highly. I like the dual narrators.
Thanks to Netgalley and Dreamscape Select for the opportunity to enjoy this story.

I absolute love the narration for these books. They bring these characters to life. Their Scottish accents are top notch.

These books make me so happy. It’s like revisiting old friends each time. In a world where happiness can feel like it’s not always as easy to come by, when you find something that feels like a warm hug from friends, it’s worth a 5 star for sure.

Wild Scottish Fortune is Enchanted Highlands book 6 by Tricia O’Malley. Petite Orla Clarke is a force to be reckoned with. She has her own construction company and has been engaged by both Ramsay MacMillan to rebuild his kilt business after a fire destroyed it, and by Monroe Curaigh to build the new facility for Common Gin.

Orla has not led a particularly happy life. Orphaned young and fighting for absolutely everything that has come her way, one thing that has remained with her always is the spirit of the green lady. While seeing ghosts isn’t something that troubles Orla, she certainly understands that others might feel otherwise.

Finlay Thompson is facilities manager for Monroe as well as a good friend. In fact, he is supervising the new build. When Finlay meets Orla, however, he has enough trouble managing himself. Through a combination of mishaps, including a misguided offer for a gala date, Finlay begins to breech Orla’s defenses. However, Finlay doesn’t know that during this period of time Orla has discovered some very surprising information of her own and the changes that this will bring, especially when Orla encounters a very angry ancestor who is causing mayhem in one of the outbuildings on the Common Gin property.

This is a wonderfully told story adding to this delightful series. The characters are very well fleshed out. The mystical setting captures the imagination. This is a very well written addition to the series. I did enjoy this book and I do recommend it!

This book is such a cute, quick, and witchy book perfect for the fall. This book was a fun read for someone looking for a light romance with a little spice. Since I listened to the book, I did want to mention that the accents could be a little difficult to understand at times but once I was adjusted, it really added to the immersion in the story over reading the book. I also found this story very comforting and cozy, which is a pretty rare experience for me. I haven't read the other books in this series but this experience makes me want to pick them up.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for and advanced copy in return for an honest review.
