About this item

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?

I fall in love with Loren Brae a little more with each book Tricia O’ Malley writes. Wild Scottish Fortune had everything you’ve come to expect. Magical, mystical creatures , fantastic characters we’ve all come to love and a fantastic romance complete with the best ghost coo you could ever want to meet.

Orla is a builder who has her own building company and has picked herself up from literally nothing to become a successful business owner. She’s used to no one being there for her for long and besides her crew she doesn’t really trust anyone will ever stay around long. She does have some magical qualities though as she is able to see ghosts and has a mystical woman only she can see who guides her sometimes.

Finlay is the Scottish building director in charge of Orla’a current project and although he seems quite posh, he’s a good guy and like Orla has some heavy baggage. Although they both have very different pasts they make a connection almost immediately. Orla also discovers she’s the next member of the Order of Caledonia and should she accept she might very well acquire the family she never had.

I love how Orla and Fin come together. They were both drifting souls finding their person in each other. Together they learn how to build parts of themselves backup from when others had torn them down. Not only do they find trust and love with one another, but they find a peace they didn’t know they could have.

I loved this book. Orla’a journey was heartbreaking and you couldn’t fault Finlay for wanting to protect her and be the one who didn’t leave. Fin has his own family issues though and I love how he took steps to protect himself and those he loved by setting boundaries.

This story was beautifully written and I just can’t wait for more. I want more from these wonderful characters and more of this beautiful Scottish setting. I’m absolutely chomping at the bit for more!

This is a really cozy magical read. I loved all the Scottish vibes. This was actually my first read of this series but I really liked it. All the various kinds of witches were so fun and interesting. I really loved the writing style because you felt like you were there in this peaceful and magical town.

I loved Orla. She was relatable to me, in a sense. I also have a hard time asking or receiving help. She was kind of a loner and kept to herself because she has been through some things. She’s a little awkward. She’s not bitter though. She was brilliant and resilient in the best way. I also loved how she interacted with ‘ghosts’. How amazing would it be to have a guiding spirit like The Green Lady?

I enjoyed this book a lot and would love to read the previous books. I can’t wait to see what happens with Agnes as well! Allen the characters (and animals) were incredibly charming. I loved every last one of them.

Highly recommend if you love a cozy feel good book. This book is magical with paranormal aspects but also in the writing style. It was like a breath of fresh air for me. Thank you.

This book is Tricia O’Malley at her best. Wonderful characters who you love and want to see happy. Loved the newest member of the Order. Being able to see and talk to ghosts. Loved the character of Finn. A sincere, honest and gorgeous man. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars So cute and whimsical

This is the first book I have read in the series.

This book surprised me in a very good way. I think since I didn't know there was a paranormal aspect to it, I wasn't expecting there to be ghosts and witches, but it was the perfect book for me in this moment. I am very much a mood reader and getting to have a bit of spooky vibes really made my day.

Now, onto the characters. Orla was a total badass and I love her. She always stuck to her plans, but was so kind and caring. She has her own construction business for pete's sake! And Finn is a cutie patootie. He is the ultimate golden retriever boyfriend who just wants Orla to love him and to be happy. I loved the depth of the two characters and their individual struggles which they ultimately will support each other on. (We love a healthy relationship). And their connection seemed genuine to me.

The story all around was so much fun. It had great pacing and I am happy with the novel as a whole. The ghosts were all cool to interact with (especially Clyde). The magic system was well thought out, and I can't wait to read the rest of the books to really get into it.

The narrators of the audiobook did a great job. Their pacing was phenomenal, as was their overall voice work. It took a chapter for me to get used to the Scottish accents, but once I did, I felt totally immersed in the story.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book, whether you read it or listen to it. It is a fun read!
