Mystic Cove #8
Wild Irish Dreamer
What would happen if dreams came true?
It's said that the world is made of dreamers. Which is a lovely thought and all, except for when those dreams come with a foretelling of the future. In order to find out what she really wants, Fiona MacAuliffe has spent her life running from who she truly is. Determined to ignore her gifts in order to make her own way in the world, Fi long ago said goodbye to her family's pub in Grace's Cove and set off to follow her heart.
Little does she know that it is her heart that will betray her when she returns home.

5 out of 5 again for Tricia O’Malley’s Mystic Cove series. This is book 8 and tells us Fi and Liam’s story. No need to go into any details. Tricia O’Malley’s books are ALL great no matter which series or which book you pick. If you haven’t discovered this super talented writer go check her books. On this book, at the end, there’s a secret chapter for another great book - Ms. Bitch. Another enjoyable read!

I love all of Tricia’s books. I love the characters and plots and how they all interconnect with each other.

Once in a while a character in a book has managed to turn me off big time! Fi was one of such characters. She was supposed to be a Wild Irish Dreamer. But she was as far away from being a dreamer as could be ~ more like a Blind Irish Princess! She was born into everything ~ loving ~ rich ~ understanding ~indulgent parents & family. Her parents had to beg her to accept a birthday gift ➡️ an ocean-front property‼️
What's her problem? She was once humiliated by a jerk of a dumb boyfriend? Once! What has she done with her privileged life? Supported herself ~traveled the world ~ hooked up ~ all about ME! A dreamer⁉️Absolutely Not ‼️
What was it that turned me off again? The magic she was born with was the cause of her jerk of a boyfriend's betrayal. So she ran ~ no more magic by the princess!
She turned me off so strongly when I thought of another amazing character in this series ~ Morgan in Wild Irish Rebel💝 That was a Dreamer! Morgan had nothing but her dreams 🌠
Poor blind princess Fi~ her dream of a future hook up turned out to be a fraud and a liar. So yeah ~ finally she grudgingly opened her eyes & accepted her magick.
Maybe my rating should be -3 stars (Negative Three Stars) instead⁉️ 😝 But nah ~ I loved Liam & all the other magical characters in this book💝 They earned Beautiful Three Stars💎⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review.
The ladies of Mystic Cove are back, and boy did I miss them. I have loved all of the books in the Mystic Cove series and this latest one did not disappoint.
Fi was born with special gifts and has spent most of her life doing her best to ignore them, and live an independent life away from Mystic Cove. Dreaming about things before they are going to happen has always been a curse to her, not a blessing. Now her dreams are focused on a man, has destiny finally caught up with her?
Liam almost died in Mystic Cove when he ignored the warnings and went down into the cove, saved by Grace’s magick he’s found a base in Mystic Cove.
Fi and Liam’s paths have a crossed a time or two in the past, when they meet again this time will destiny throw them together to find their happily ever after or will their own stubborn souls keep them apart?
I laughed and cried, I loved spending time with the original Fiona and all of the ladies of the cove again. I highly recommend this series!

learn to trust
Fi hadn’t been home to the cove for a long time but her best friend was getting married so now was the time. Liam would be there also and she hadn’t seen him for years-they had both been hurt in love so they decided they would be friends. Fi threw a crazy women party for Grace before she had to go back to work but she would be back before the wedding. So much happens in the time in between—not just one thing but lots of things that you can’t guess. Somehow I missed this book having read all but the most recent so I am glad I caught it—I couldn’t put it down and my eyes are blurry but so glad I finished so I can go on to the last book—I hope everyone has read The Mystic Cove Series—if not get going!!

I feel like this was the book I needed at this specific time.
Fi is stubborn, she is fierce and she is flawed. Everything that I love to read about in a main character.
And to find out that LIAM -- the Liam that I was swooning over in previous books was also in this novel made me very happy. He is such a perfect gentleman.
This novel really makes me believe in true love and that everything happens for a reason.
I can only hope that I find someone that will love me this fiercely and so immensely.
Fi finally accepts every part of her, and that made me beyond happy for her.
Yes, these stories are cheesy, but in the best way. Love will always make me flutter. Love will always make me want to be the best version of myself.
Love is love is love.

Wild Irish Dreamer is a long awaited addition to Tricia O’Malley’s series set in magickal Grace’s Cove. Fi doesn’t like having magickal gifts and has spent years learning how to shut them down. She loves the travel her work as a translator gives her and an occasional fling, but settling down isn’t in her DNA. The Cove may have another plan, however. Fans of the author know they will be getting an entertaining story filled with the unexpected. This reader enjoyed seeing old friends (previous characters) and was thrilled every time the water in the cove shined blue. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book. Most highly recommend.

What a disappointment!
This is book 8 of 11 in the series and I've enjoyed the characters and storylines. I like reading books in a series and investing time and effort into ongoing storylines. I have read these through Kindle Unlimited which , for me, is the only affordable way to read . Imagine my Huge disappointment when discovered that I have to pay extra for the rest of the series. To me this is like a "bait & switch" tactic, which is considered illegal. I will NOT be reading anything else by this author. I sincerely hope other readers are NOT lead down this very misleading path! Shame on you!

Lovely as all of these are.
A pretty quick lovely tale with nothing really new on the horizon. The author is careful with details so that you're never totally sure which decade you're in, so everything feels pretty generic. The themes seem to be repeating a bit with the "I don't like/want my powers. Since one would assume any special abilities would come from a higher power, I have little patience when the plot heads in that direction. I had thought there were stories in this series I hadn't read before, but instead it seems I merely forgot them all as a blur of too-similar stories.

The Mystic Cove series is my favorite series of Tricia O'Malley's books. Book 8 in the series brings in all the other characters which I loved. Tricia has a way of bringing out emotions and situations that the characters have to work through and for them to understand how the other characters feel. I always enjoy reading certain sections of the book over again because a lot of the situations that characters get into are real life situations that I have to deal with also. She gives some good examples on how to deal with the situation and I often can apply it in the real world.

Back to the Cove!! I first came across this wonderful series with Wild Irish Hearts and became a HUGE fan of Tricia O'Malley!
With Wild Irish Dreamer the series comes full circle with Fi and Liams story. Being back in the cottage and at the pub really makes one feel like you are part of the close inner circle of the descendants of Grace. Fiona the every present (though spiritually now) is the guiding light for all the ladies of the Cove and she let's them know that they need to accept the gifts given and be honest to the one they love.
Highly recommended!!

Fi and liam
Liam looked like a fun character and loyal to Dylan.fi is caits daughter (the pub is fun) I thought this book dragged a little to much and the ending was fast, it was just as much about grace. I did not like Fi playing games going out for meals with both men she might of said just as friends but she knew how Liam felt and she was thinking about going on a date with the other guy after business ends even though she was unsure of him, I thought she was childish at times

Liam and Fi
Liam and Fi tango throughout the story. Always dancing around what has been in front of their face the whole time. Fi has been so set in her ways her whole life, she nearly loses herself as a result.
Liam’s hot Irish temper nearly costs him everything…
Wedding bells are the only thing that seem to wake Fi up to what life has to offer. But how will that resonnate with her and Liam? The rest of her life?
Book 8 in the Wild Irish series doesn’t disappoint. Pick it up today and start turning the pages…

Wild Irish Dreamer
I love this story. It accompanies the others with a continuous flow of magick. These Irish women all descending from Grace have gifts are are difficult to accept or contain. As we have read, each have to learn how to be unique with these gifts but ultimately acce-t them as such. With a strong moral compass and a strong basis of love, these women are in search for the oneness that comes with acceptance of who they are. The sad part but ultimately the greatest part is the gifts enhance their love for the people in their lives.

I've read a LOT of books in my life time, but this series is the absolute best ever!! I have loved every book in the series, but this one... wow! The story itself was awesome, but seeing how the people/characters from past books are doing also, made it so much better. I said people/characters because while I know they aren't real, they've all came alive throughout the books and I forget they aren't real life people. A must read series!

Take me to Grace's Cove any day, please. This is a series I fully love and will come back to again and again. Fi's book is the latest and poor Fi, just doesn't like or appreciate her magik. What she does love, is her freedom. This was her story of self discovery and self acceptance on her way to true love. Great book, I always want them to be longer because I love the world and strong female characters so much.
August 13, 2020
So easy to get swept up in the charm of Grace's cover and Ireland. Love Fi, Grace, Liam and well just everyone, they don't feel like characters in a book but feel more like good friends. Love getting swept away in their story and always hate to see the book end. A great getaway, charming story and a great place to lose your heart to, Love the book and the series, makes me long to go back to Ireland. Highly recommend.
August 15, 2020
These stories have pulled me in and made me feel like I was there. Fi shielded her gifts for a variety of reasons. Fi and Liam clash because both have been betrayed before. Fi is fighting her feelings for Liam. She doesn't want to be "tied down" to any one place. A business deal leaves them at odds with each other.
I love the detail and characters. This is the last book in the series. I am sad it's over. I feel the magic in these types of stories.

I love this book series. These books endear you to this family of close nit women who feel discrimination of religion and of course it doesn't help they are very strong women. I love how each story weaves into each other knitting their lives together. It is amazing how the author makes you feel like a part of their lives. You miss the characters between each book. It makes you want to have a continuous supply of books about this family.

Good Romance and an excellent plot
This book was really good! I could feel the wind in my hair and the smell of the ocean as I read of Liam and Fi's romance. The issue with Fi being frightened of trusting Liam with her secret is easily one of the problems many women face. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable book. I would have liked to have Fiona make an appearance at the end though, smiling and nodding her approval.

Great, great, great!
I have read the whole series of Mystic cove and loved every one of them. In this one Fi denies her gift but soon finds out the gift of using it can be good. Loved it just fine. Hopefully new books in series will come along. Fiona is still such a trooper, I loved her so much.

Glad to return to Grace Cove
Ms O’Malley treats us to another Grace Cove adventure. It is nice to visit with old friends. Ms O’Malley continues to deliver up quirky characters of substance who I would love to be friends with. She brings romance, adventure and magic into the world. Grace Cove is the place I would wish to live.

Returning to Mystic Cove
The arrival of Book 8 groundbreaking of coming home to The reader. Along with Fi, I was anxious to attend the festivities surrounding Grace's wedding and revisit with the magical circle of friends and family. Watching the "dance" of Fi and Liam as each confronted their emotions added to the story. Look forward to more from Mystic Cove

Only one bad thing
Tricia has another hit on her hands with her latest Wild Irish book. The characters as always are colorful and charismatic. If you like a little magic in your romance or a little romance in your magic this series delivers. The one bad thing... the books aren’t long enough.

New Favorite Author
I believe I now have read all or almost all of Tricia O’Malley’s books and this one is every bit as good as the others. I love that her character’s are strong and smart. The Wild Irish series is all about fun romance and good humor. I know I can read any of her books and will love them...can’t wait for the next one.

I absolutely love the Mystic Cove series. Fi’s story is just one in a full family multi generational woman with special abilities. I think my favorite character to show up is herself, Fiona. Once again Tricia has brought us a treasure of the heart.
If you haven’t visited Mystic cove I urge you to treat yourself. Start at the beginning and fall in love.

Leaves you feeling a Blue glow from the cove
It had been over a year when I read the first seven books of this series, and this story picked up and blended so well I remember them all. Loved these stories, absolutely nice mix of friends, family, and all the emotions that go with it. Laughed / Very quick read because you can't put it down.

Celtics love, blarney stone kisses and magical love.
I love Tricia O'Malley, her attention to detail in her surroundings bring the touch of magical Ireland to the stories she tells. Familial love, loyalty and laughter tell the story in the magical romance between Fi and Liam. Trust and eternal love grabs you by the heartstrings and keeps you believing.
