Holidaze in Salem is a paranormal romance boxed set series that spans several holidays and features the romance of one couple. Narrated by Scott Rose & Amanda Troop, you’ll love the small-town setting, witchy magic and swoon-worthy romance.

A Bit of Hocus Pocus: Hollie Craft has a problem. After casting a spell on Lucas Dayton, Hollie believes she is truly a witch when certain types of events start to happen to Lucas. Is it just a bit of hocus pocus, or is it fate?

A Bit of Holly Jolly: Mistletoe hung. Christmas tree done. Presents wrapped. Holiday plans on track. My first Christmas with Lucas couldn't be any more perfect! So, a little holly jolly spell can't hurt anything, right?

Love sometimes needs a little push by elves . . . or me.

A Bit of Wee Luck: They say my spells go awry. Pish posh, it's a lie.

I have the love of my life. My best friend will soon be a wife. Now it's time to help a lad. In the land of Ireland.

A Bit of Razzle Dazzle: Lucas is in denial. I know he possesses magical powers. My sister says it will reveal in due time. But I think not helping things along would be a crime. So, I decided to do what I do best. Create a spell to do all the rest.

A little razzle dazzle potion is needed stat. Unfortunately it also affects the new guy in town, Matt. Oh dear . . . my sister now has to babysit a man who thinks witches and warlocks are not part of the plan.

Holidaze Salem Box collection on audio comes in at just around twelve hours and contains a romance that stretches across the four stories. Each story was delightful and filled with small-town charm as Hollie finds love and explores her witchy spell crafting.

A Bit of Hocus Pocus: Hollie Craft has a crush on her longtime friend Lucas Dayton. She cast a spell with unexpected results. As events unfold, Hollie believes she actually is a witch. I loved this sweet, small-town romance and devoured this first story in a single listen.

A Bit of Holly Jolly: Hollie decides her true love with Lucas needs a little holiday magic and casts a spell. This story was brimming with holiday magic and sweet romance. If you want you holiday stories to have ever afters, this one is for you.

A Bit of Wee Luck: Lucas lands a dream job in Ireland, and Hollie joins him. He said no spells, but Hollie can’t help but help the owner of the local pub. Another lovely story with characters I rooted for.

A Bit of Razzle Dazzle: Hollie is sure her husband has the gift. Her sister and mother believe his gift will reveal in time, but with the baby coming, Hollie cannot help but give it a wee nudge. This was another fun installment with spells, reveals and an interesting dig site. I loved the secondary hints of romance and hope to see more stories.

If you are looking for a sweet small-town romance with a touch of paranormal woo-woo, this boxed set is for you. Narrated by Scott Rose & Amanda Troop, this audio was a delight. Both narrators captured the characters and the tone of the story. I also loved the Irish accents in A Bit of Wee Luck.
