A Taste of Magic

A 'heartwarming, delightful and enchanting' tale, SARAH BETH DURST

Book #2 of The Scottish Charms Series
By Tricia O'Malley

About The Book

Scotland’s most magical small town is back as another MacGregor witch takes the spotlight in this follow-up to the “heartwarming, delightful, and enchanting” (Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author) national bestseller Love’s a Witch.

She’s hexed. He’s her ex. And if they can’t bake in harmony, Briarhaven’s big cooking competition might just go up in smoke.

Lyra MacGregor’s magic is as unpredictable as her love life – especially when her spellwork starts misfiring during the filming of Briarhaven’s favorite reality TV show: Bewitching Bake-Off. Even worse? She’s paired with Rabbie Barclay, her high school sweetheart turned heartbreak.

He’s never baked a thing in his life. She turns spoons into hedgehogs when he’s nearby. But with the cameras rolling, the curse deepening, and old sparks reigniting, they’ll have to cook up more than just a winning cake to survive. Because in Briarhaven, baking is spellwork, and love is the trickiest recipe of all.

Raves and Reviews

'A Taste of Magic is a delicious mix of second-chance romance, baking show chaos, and spellwork gone hilariously wrong. With crackling chemistry and plenty of heart, Lyra and Rabbie’s love story proves that the sweetest magic is the kind you risk your heart to make. O'Malley delivers hexes, exes, and extra heat in this witchy, witty, and wildly romantic tale'
– Jenn McKinlay, NYT bestselling author of Witches of Dubious Origin

'I adored this slow burn, second chance witchy romance. Loved spending time in this cozy magickal community—meeting Lyra and her sisters who are close and witches, and also Ruth, Lyra’s adorable familiar. Lyra is coming into her powers and they are a bit rocky—which adds to the fun. Especially when she runs into her first love, Rob, and her magick misfires whenever she feels attraction. Add in a reality baking show and a family curse and Lyra has her hands full. Can’t wait to visit this town again for Jack and Nova’s story'
– Pamela Kelley, USA Today bestselling author of Nantucket Second Chances
