I adored this book! I loved learning about Orla and seeing her really come into the strength that she's always had with her. I thought that her backstory was very well written, along with great social commentary that strengthened the reader's emotional relationship to Orla. One thing that I wasn't sure about at first but came to love was that the first half (or so) of this book is focused on Orla discovering where she belongs, finding friends, and finding herself. It wasn't until the second half that her relationship with Finaly developed.

4.5⭐️s. Yup, she did it again. Cute, cozy, fantasy with found family, a strong independent woman, magic, Clyde (if you know, you know 🐮👻). I think Orla is my favorite character so far. But I’m intrigued to see if the FMC in Wild Scottish Gold, coming April 2025, will beat her. You can read Wild Scottish Fortune on Kindle Unlimited now. The audiobook will be available September 16th.

Speaking of audio. Another amazing narration by amyjlou and @willmwatt. They both really make you feel immersed in the world of Finlay and Orla as well as the other characters. Loved them in Wild Scottish Beauty too.

Orla is a well respected master builder. And she worked hard for it. She has the best team on her side. Oh, did I mention she can also see ghosts. Finley is the director over Orla’s newest project for Common Gin. He’s been burned by his family and throws himself into work. But Orla has a way about her that he can’t seem to ignore. She too has built walls around herself due to past hurt. As they work together, their attraction grows. Can Orla move past her abandonment issues, and Finley trust her when he finds out about her secret of seeing ghosts?

Tricia O’Malley is a new author for me this year. I’ve been hooked on her Enchanted Highlands series from the very start. I’ve listened to all so far on audio and I absolutely love that the same narrator’s have narrated them all. They are both so engaging and they do well with the Scottish accents, which isn’t easy.

In this instalment we follow Finley and Orla. Finley is director of the Distillery project whilst Orla is master builder and constructor of making the build happen. She also happens to see Ghosts, so she is then drawn into the Order
Of Caledonian (like our previous heroines) to help protect the beautiful Loren Brae.
Another fun, sweet, mystical read and I can’t wait for the next one!

Justice for Clyde! How rude of him to have a scare per day limit!
I loved this book as I was sure I would. I think Trisha did an especially good job with Orla’s aversion to touch. I think it was handled really accurately, as someone who is also touch averse! This series is such a cozy escap and I look forward to each one!

Tricia O'Malley can do no wrong with me! The series is everything that you could ever need in a series. And they just keep getting better as the couples go and the order fills up. I think this one might be my favorite of the series (I know I say that every time). I think that my fave part of this one is Orla's magic, and her development as a character. Orla's past is heartbreaking and complicated and I really appreciated the way that this was navigated in the story. Some of the advice she got from her green lady and the people around her really hit home for me. It's really not often that I come across a book that gives me pause over my own life in such a lovely way. Finny was well he was a delight. His love for Orla was palpable and the way that he stepped up and stood up for her was everything. It was fun to get to see a new danger surrounding the Loch and seeing the order add another amazing women to their ranks. Of course there was all the usual cast member that we have come to love and adore who all had their parts to play in this story as well. And Clyde my one and only true love of a coo!

The Enchanted Highlands series continues to delight! This light and cozy fantasy romance series is so bingeable and fun to read. Amy Landon and Will Watt really bring Orla and Finlay to life with their narration, and I was thrilled to hear their Scottish accents stay true to the story.

Orla Clarke, a master builder who is working on a new project for Common Gin, has a hidden power (though it doesn't stay hidden for long) - she can see & interact with ghosts. Her talents draw her into the shenanigans and the inner circle of the Order of Caledonia, as well as the arms of Finlay Thompson.

I've loved continuing to see the full cast of characters from the past books as the circle grows and the Order adds new members to their ranks. Orla and Finlay are another great addition!

Another hit from Tricia O'Malley in the Enchanted Highlands series. This series is so fun while still cozy and magical.
Orla is such a great character bringing forward issues that matter.

Can an artisan builder with a haunted past learn to break down her own walls?

Orla Clarke is a master builder with a secret—she can see ghosts. Tasked with building Common Gin’s newest distillery in Loren Brae, Orla faces more than just architectural challenges. Haunted by her past as an orphan and the spirits that have followed her since childhood, Orla’s talent for building walls extends to her heart. She’s brilliant at solving problems on the construction site, but when it comes to matters of love, she’s always kept her distance.

Enter Finlay Thompson, the charming and driven director of the distillery project. Determined to breathe new life into the old stone building, Finlay is equally passionate about gin as he is about profits. Betrayed by family, and untrusting of relationships, he can’t help but be entranced by the pint-sized powerhouse overseeing the build-out of the distillery. With mysterious things happening around Loren Brae, the more Finlay puts himself in Orla’s path, the more he is drawn to the quiet builder with luminous eyes.

As spirits bring secrets to light, Orla and Finlay must confront their deepest fears. Can they build a future together, or will their haunted pasts keep them apart forever?

This installment was fun since both MCs are Scottish. A relatively small detail overall but exciting. Orla and Finley were a little more difficult for me to relate with, but I liked the “different worlds” vibes they had to deal with. This book also felt a little heavier emotionally than the rest so far, since we dealt with spirits and a traumatic childhood. Of course, we have wonderful banter and the lovable Clyde to lighten the mood when needed.
As per usual, Amy Landon and Will Watt killed it with the narrations. The only bummer is that the chapters from the Finley’s POV were less frequent than in previous books so I didn’t get as much Will as I wanted. Still a very solid performance of course.
Thank you NetGalley, Tricia O’Malley, and Dreamscape Select for the opportunity to preview this wonderful audiobook! I can’t wait for Wild Scottish Gold!

I have loved every single book in this series. It's such a charming, feel good series full of whimsy. This was another win. I loved Orla working in a male dominated profession and being so confident in her skills. The addition of the Green Lady legend was just another mythical/paranormal character to add to the growing list. I love how Tricia is able to weave in new Scottish elements to the series. The found family is one of my favorite parts of this series. As usual the audio narration is brilliant. Even though I've listened to every book with the same narrators (I think) it always seems like I'm able to tell these are new characters. Their voices just never sound the same. I didn't feel the strongest chemistry between Finley and Orla, something was missing. This one also lacked the humor of previous books. A solid 4 star story and can't wit for the next one.

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am a fan of this series. I feel as though each book just gets better than the one before it.

Orla might just be my favourite of the characters from this series. She is strong and fierce, and I loved it. Her walls are so high I don't know if she even knows what it's like to take a deep breath. She has been building that wall for years so when Finlay comes into her life, she doesn't expect he would be the one to help her tear the wall down.

She opens herself up to the Order, she has a unique gift and has to accept herself before anyone else can accept her. But opening herself up to possible rejection keeps Orla from trusting in Finlay.

This book's performance from Will and Amy was outstanding. They become the characters and it's easy to forget everything around you but the story being told.

Cute cozy magical Scottish romance with amazing characters and phenomenal character development! Orla Clark is a builder who can see ghosts and is haunted by her past as an orphan, which left her with abandonment issues, and she keeps distance from people to protect herself. Orla is hired to build a distillery in Loren Brae and meets Finlay Thompson, who is the director of the distillery project. Finley was betrayed by his family and left him untrusting of people. Orla and Finlay confront their biggest fears in hopes of having a future together. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Amy Landon and Will Watt. The narrators did a fantastic job! Wild Scottish Fortune is such a beautiful story.

Audiobook releases Sep 16, 2024.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a great continuation of this series of standalones. I really enjoy how the supernatural is incorporated into the books and is done in such a great way. I loved Orla and she was just an amazing character. The romance in this book was so sweet. I am excited for the next book and am dying to go back and read the beginning books that I have not had a chance to read before this one.

Love the accents used for the reading. The story is kinda meh and drags. But overall very good. Story of a contractor and a project manager falling in love while being subjected to paranormal events.

Wild Scottish Fortune
The Enchanted Highlands Book Six
by Tricia O'Malley
narrated by Amy Landon and Will Watt

***Five Scottish Witchy Stars***

Will Watt is narrating the book? Immediately YES!

I am just on a little witchy witchy kick and I'm not disappointed in my journey! Orla Clark is a bad-a master builder and she's currently working on a new gin distillery. Orla has seen spirits her entire life but didn't learn until recently the depth of her own magic. Finley Tompson is a driven man, he is in charge of making sure the distillery comes to its best life. With some spirit interference these two are in for an adventure.

I really loved Orla and Finley together. I did feel like he overreacted a bit at the end there but I guess I've never been in his shoes. I would definitely read more about these two. I didn't realize this was a series, and book six, but I didn't feel lost in the story. I would for sure read the rest of the series, I enjoyed this author's writing very much.

Thank you to NetGalley, Dreamscape Select, and the author for the opportunity to listen to and review this story. All thoughts are my own.

I wanted to like this book as I love books set in Scotland but I fet that the narration was a very slow and it detracted from the story for me. Perhaps in physical form, I could have gotten more engaged with the book but sadly, in audiobook form, this title was not for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Enchanted Highlands #6
Wild Scottish Fortune
Tricia O’Malley
Genre: Romance, Comedy, Fantasy
Orla Clarke can see ghosts. By trade she owns the Clarke Construction. Currently she is building a new distillery at McAlpine Castle for Monroe Craig of Common Gin’s. Orla’s childhood was rough; she was an orphan. She had to learn to stand on her own two feet at an early age; she also learned not to trust anyone with her heart. Orla struggles to make ends meet. Oh yeah! And she sees ghosts.
Finlay Thompson, the chief Operations Officer of the distillery project. After being betrayed by his family he has trust issues. The first time he met Orla he though she was the cleaning woman on the construction site. Needless to say, Orla wasn’t impressed, but Finlay was. The two had to work together and the sparks started flying. Finlay realized she was special and that he wanted her. Orla kept guard on her heart and wasn’t ready to give it to anyone. He saw the real Orla. He asked her/paid her to attend a party with him. She wore a beautiful dress, she was beautiful. But to Finlay she was even more beautiful when she was doing construction. He saw the real Orla. He knew not to push her but to allow her to make her own decisions.
I love books set in Scotland and this one doesn’t disappoint me. Orla was a strong character even with her flaws. Finlay and Orla worked well together, and I loved the sparks between them. This is the first book in The Enchanted Highlands series that I have read, I want to go back and read the previous 5 books.

Thank you NetGalley for the review copy.

Once again this author took me on a fun ride into this magical world full of mystical creatures and lots of Romance! I really enjoyed the main characters passion for her trade and willingness to open up to those around her. I also think I need a familiar lol.

We're back in Loren Brae for another fabulous installment in the Enchanted Highlands series and hold onto your hat as there is crossover heaven about to descend!!! I am that person who gets giddy when tv shows do crossovers and have characters from one show interact with ones from another show and when it happens in books, I am positively over the moon with happiness! So, get ready for fun and laughter as someone from Tequilia Key pops in at a pivotal moment! I mean everyone is entitled to a vacation so why not go from Florida to Scottland! I'm still smiling as I think about this little bit of crossover! As always, the characters are well developed to be relatable while also bringing a smile at the whimsey of their lives. There is dark magic at work in the area and the newest member of the order is going to have their hands full trying to figure things out in a hurry before someone is seriously hurt. Even while bringing laughter and smiles, we also get tears as the main characters featured in this book both bring some hurtful baggage into the picture with them. I love the underlying message of the book that family is what you surround yourself with and not necessarily dictated by the blood in your veins. I think this is true for everyone regardless of their relationship with their blood relatives. You often find yourself closer to the ones you surround yourself with than the ones that bind to you by blood. If you want hours of fun, whimsey, mystery and love then this book, well series really, is the one for you. I highly recommend the audiobook as the dual narration really brings the characters and stories fully to life and the accents are divine as well. It really transports you to Scotland and helps you feel as if you are in Loren Brae with them!

I really loved Orla with her construction company and her learning to accept love and trust others. So excited for the next book in this series!!

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape for the opportunity to listen to this audio-arc!

Title: Wild Scottish Fortune
Series: The Enchanted Highlands #6l
Author: Trisha O’Malley
Format: 🎧
Audiobook Narrators: Amy Landon and Will Watt
Publisher: Dreamscape Select
Genre: Paranormal, Scottish folklore, and Romance
Audiobook Release Date: September 16, 2024
My Rating: 4. Stars
Pages 332

Although this is #6 in the Enchanted Highlands series based in the town of Loren Brae. The stories are similar and the audiobook performers are the same however there are new characters- in this story they are Oria and Finlay.
Orla Clarke is a hard working successful contractor from a rough childhood. She’s afraid to get close to anyone and lay down roots in fear of losing them. She was taught that the greatest fortune she can ever have is from doing something with her hands; and in honor of that she became a contractor and own her own company.

Finlay Thompson is the opposite of Orla in his expensive clothes.

When Finlay first meets Orla she assumes she is the cleaner on the construction site certainly it never occurred to him that she is the construction manager.

Clearly things don’t go well with their first meeting. However, having read others in this series and the two main characters typically find that opposites do attract and I was sure that despite getting off to a rocky start, these two would soon hit it off.

I just love this series. The audiobook narrators do such a great job performing the characters. There is no doubt their accent adds to the story in a way that I could not achieve if I read this story.

Now I am looking forward to " Wild Scottish Gold" #6 in ‘The Enchanted Highlands’ series.

Want to thank NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for this Audiobook.
Audio Publishing Release Date scheduled for September 16, 2024.
