Publisher's summary

First in the Donovan Legacy series, Captivated is a spellbinding novel of the ordinary magic found in extraordinary love from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts.

Screenwriter Nash Kirkland is in Monterey, California researching witchcraft for his latest script and finds himself enchanted by Morgana Donovan, who claims she comes from a family of magical practitioners. Skeptical of anything he can’t explain, and wary about trusting his feelings, Nash nevertheless finds his growing desire for Morgana nothing short of supernatural.

Disappointing for a huge Nora Robert’s Fan

From the get go I didn’t like the narration and the story just felt completely flat for me. I almost turned it off more than once, but being a huge Nora Roberts fan for years I figured it would get better.
I was excited to read this trilogy, but I won’t even bother with Book Two.

loved the voice of Morganna

Liked that it was a very different story. Not the usual for Nora Roberts. Was funny, sad, and joyous.

Too slow too predictable

Being a Nora Roberts fan, I had much higher expectation from an almost 8 hours book. Narration was great, I ll search for other books of this voice actor.

So drawn out -no real plot. Just UGH!

Absolutely nothing interesting about this story- could have been finished in 2 chapters. Bewitched was much more fun!

Narration

Narrator pronounced “Carmel”, the town, like the candy. Also said secretes, when she meant secrets.

Fated Mates

Captivated is the first book in the Donovan Legacy series. Morgana is a natural witch. Nash is a screenwriter who writes paranormal stories. He wanted to work with her to write a new manuscript, but he truly didn’t believe that she was a witch. Morgana and Nash are fated mates, and they fall in love with each other. Nash doesn’t want to be in love, but he eventually he grovels as they eventually come together in the end. The story is a quick paranormal romance that is was has Nora’s signature voice.

Good character development and narration

Nora Roberts is so talented and has a very creative mind. I have lived some of her other fantasy books and this did not disappoint. Therese Plumber did a great job with the narration. This was a perfect book for the holiday week and was a good way to escape the day to day stress. Great job!
