In a town where magic stirs the air, a fiery blacksmith must forge her destiny, fight for her family, and gamble on love as boundless as the Sedona scenery. Single mom and badass blacksmith, Abby Carson, has spent years hammering out a life on her own terms, raising her daughter, and avoiding trouble — especially the masculine kind that comes wrapped in a flannel shirt and a spellbinding smile. But in Sedona, where vortexes hum with mystical energy, trouble is as persistent as the visions that color her dreams.
When the famed vortexes start misbehaving, the town buzzes with talk of energy shifts and cosmic nonsense. Abby suspects something darker is afoot — especially when her deadbeat ex shows up out of the blue, suddenly interested in playing dad.
As Sedona’s magic begins to unravel, Abby uncovers an evil scheme to drain the vortexes of their power. Turns out, she’s more tied to that magic than she ever dreamed of, and tapping into it might be the only way to save her home and her family. To do so, she finds herself reluctantly teaming up with a rugged bear shifter who’s as infuriating as he is intriguing. Cooper is big, broody, and full of secrets… But then again, so is she.Spellbound in Shifters, sorcery, and a sisterhood forged in fire! Book 1: Wind Whisperer Book 2: Fire Dancer Book 3: Dream Weaver

Series: Spellbound in Sedona #3 Rating: 4 stars - It was really good
When Cooper comes to Sedona for a season on the fire crew, he never expects to find his fated mate. Abby Carson is a single mom and blacksmith who is being tasked with replicating multiple versions of an axe she made over three years ago in memory of a fallen firefighter. She has been told she is partnering with Cooper and at first does everything to keep him at a distance. But the more time she spends with Cooper the more she realizes he is a good man and a decent blacksmith.
This was a really enjoyable slow building romance with a bear shifter and a magic using blacksmith. Abby is a woman determined to give her child a better life than she had, and is succeeding. She is a strong, determined, and independent woman who has never needed a man but has realized she wants one. I really enjoyed the slow progression of Abby’s trust of Cooper and how she slowly started to rely on him. It really made for a great slow building relationship built on trust and admiration of each other.
Cooper was a bear shifter and firefighter. He came to Sedona for the season to work on their fire crew but instead finds himself working with Abby on axes for his fire crew. From the beginning, Cooper respected Abby and her abilities. He never questions if she is a competent blacksmith or if she was a good firefighter. He just accepts that she is a strong woman in a field usually dominated by men and judges her on what she shows him. Cooper was a sweet and protective bear who wanted to help Abby but waited until she asked before doing anything. Cooper was everything I could want in a protective and accepting male character.
Like I said, these two had a slow building relationship that grew as they worked on crafting the axes. While they got to know each other their attraction, which had been there from the beginning, grew and it made them realize they needed to get over their pasts to build a future together. Overall, I really enjoyed this couple and their story. This was a great ending for this series and I really enjoyed getting to know each of the sisters and this magical town of Sedona.

What a great ending to a wonderful trilogy, Spellbound in Sedona! This book can be read alone.
Abby is a single mom to Cooper and a top-notch blacksmith who used to be a firefighter. She lives with her two other "sisters" and their significant others on a huge piece of property that so many people seem to want! Their property seems to be located on top of some vortexes that people want access to. But the sisters are slowly realizing that these vortexes bring them power to ward off others.
Cooper is a bear shifter who found himself working in Sedona on a new firefighting crew. Unfortunately, they just worked a fire that didn't go as planned. The crew is blaming it on a lost ax that was made for a fallen firefighter and then gifted to this crew. As long as they've had the ax, they've had no problems fighting fires but someone took it. Now the chief of the crew has asked that 20 axes be made before the end of the month and they want Abby to create them. This way, each member of the crew will have one. But Abby thinks that there was some magic in that ax and she's not sure that she can recreate it for all 20 axes. Besides the timing is too tight for her. Luckily, they've assigned Cooper to help her. He's worked with wood before so working with metal shouldn't be so different according to them! Cooper senses that Abby's part witch and he wants nothing to do with that however, he is intrigued. The first day on the job, she ignores him and he just fetches her water until her daughter Claire arrives from school and he starts to see her softer side. Claire is just a chatterbox full of fun information. He and Claire hit it off.
Before I tell you the whole story, let's just say that Cooper starts gaining more patience for this intriguing woman and just when he's about to throw in the towel and leave, he senses that she's in trouble. And boy was she! There's more than one battle that occurs and of course, her flirtatious mom appears when the police do as well. Good 'ole mom! Read to find out what happens with Cooper and Abby!
If you haven’t already read the previous books in this series, I seriously suggest you do, but it really isn’t necessary. They do lend a better insight into many of the occasions in this book though, as well as many of the characters involved. Anna never ceases to amaze me though, with her indepth research of the places she sets her tales in, giving us vivid descriptions of the area so that our imaginations can soar with them, putting us right there with her characters. And lets talk characters! Always strong, but never afraid to show their weaknesses, especially to the proper people. In this, the conclusion of the Spellbound in Sedona series, we finally get to meet Cooper! He’s the super hot firefighter assigned to be her “assistant” while she fabricates a large order of “lucky” axes for the team! He’s even got a bit of blacksmithing experience under his belt! He’s absolutely perfect for Abby, and Claire loves him as soon as she sets eyes on him, but will Abby be able to lower all of her brick walls she’s built around her heart enough to finally find her own happy ever after, as her sisters have already done? And of course, there’s always a villain or two involved, but when an ex shows up all of a sudden, and followed by a woman with a purpose who just gives off the wrong type of vibes, something feels off! Really off! Hang on for the ride of your life as this duo fight for theirs, all while putting out many fires along the way! Absolutely loved this series. Most definitely a must read in my books! I was gifted a copy of this book and am voluntarily giving my honest opinion.
Abby is a blacksmith, a single mother, and the last of three magical sisters to find her mate. There is a reason for that. Abby has 'stay away from me' vibe that works to keep everyone but her family at arm's length. She also has a rating system for men that admittedly doesn't work very well. Red, yellow, green. Most men start, and finish, at red, with a few safe 'green' raters, like her boss, and some neutral 'yellows.' She learned her lesson with her baby daddy, Jay. When Cooper Lundsven walks into Heavy Metal Sedona where Abby works, he is immediately on the red list. Too big, too good-looking, and smelling too good. When she gets ordered to work with the bear shifter to fabricate twenty fire axes for him and his crew of elite firefighters who are preparing for the wildfire season, she is not happy. As if her unwanted 'assistant' isn't bad enough, something is going on with Sedona's local vortexes, and her baby daddy suddenly wants joint custody of their daughter, Claire. But just maybe, Cooper is more than his brawn and good looks. Maybe he can prove he should really be on the 'green' list. As they fight to keep Claire safe and investigate the vortex disturbances, Abby comes to realize that not all men are like her father and Jay. Cooper just might be the man of her dreams.
There is, of course, much more to the story. Witches, warlocks, dragons, wolves, bears, and the magic that is Sedona. This has been a great series. I'm sorry to see it end. I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.
With experiences like hers, trust was almost impossible for Abby Carson, a cookie-cutter, to trust. Her daughter, her sisters, the ranch, and her work as a blacksmith understood her world. Letting anyone else in was out of the question, but once again, unrest was brewing, and she wasn't sure what to believe or what her feelings were for Cooper, the man who made her question herself. As a firefighter, Cooper was always in the middle of the action, deeply committed to helping. His attraction to Abby was strong, but the woman was struggling with her demons and seemed to see no reasoning. When strange and threatening forces were looming over the town and putting everyone at risk, Cooper and Abby faced them together. I found it interesting and sad how Abby had been grappling with what made her "different" from her sisters and practically refusing to embrace the new opportunities presented to her. I liked Cooper's character and his patience, understanding, and dedication. The descriptive scenes made me visualize Cooper watching things unfold around him. I liked his way of thinking and his emotionality. As the last book in sisters' story, I liked the emotional depth involved with how Cooper gradually delved into his heart, the love and support of his stepparents, and Claire's spark. Always enjoy the way the author weaves the stories with real feelings. Action, suspense, strong emotions, magic, some amusing scenes, mystery with villains, romance, and passion.
Abby Carson is a blacksmith, a single mom, and not known for her sunny disposition. She can be brusque and cranky but in her chosen field she doesn't really have to interact with other people, so she is content with her life. The last thing she needs is Cooper Lundsven, the very large, very handsome bear shifter that her boss insists can assist her in a special order that needs to be finished in record time. To top it off, she suspects that an unknown witch is attempting to siphon of the magic of the vortexes in the area for reasons she can't comprehend, and Abby is determined to put an end to that individual's interference with the magical vortexes in Sedona. I absolutely loved Abby, her daughter Claire, and Carson the bear shifter who realizes very quickly, or at least his bear does, that Abby is his mate and his efforts to prove that not every man is like her ex. This is a must-read conclusion the Spellbound in Sedona series that I recommend to other readers. Steamy paranormal romance with magic, some action, shifters, witches, and a happily ever after. Wonderful characters that made me chuckle at times and were very realistically written and interesting, sometimes quirky, personalities that made it difficult to put this book down.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary ARC I received from the author.

When the town begins to buzz with talk all about Sedona and its magic Abby uncovers a scheme that shows the vortexes are being drained. This is a story that is set around the wonder of magic and the way that the fierce romance will leave you totally spellbound and you will be captivated by this wonderful third book in the series it will hold you captivated between its pages. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.
Dream weaver is about Abby wh is a single mon and a blcksmith. She is a half sister to Erin and Pippa who have a story of their own. Cooper is a firefighter and a bear shifter. Abby is hired to make 20 axes for the Fire company. Abby had made them an ax in memory of a firefighter who died in the line of duty. It was called the Lucky ax by the firefighters since no was hurt fighting a fire in three years. Now someone stole it. Cooper is to help her make the axes. In the beginning they do not get along even though they are drawn to each other. While working on the axes they become friends. Then a woman shows up and want her to make Brazier for her and will not take no for an answer. Abbys ex shows up after several years of no communication. He says he’s there to get partial custody of their daughter. Abby is very suspicious about all of this because at the same time the vortex’s are being drained. This is we’re all the action begins. You will have to buy the book to find out what happens.
I'd love to live in the world of active magic, supernatural beings and shifters that Anna creates for us, and this latest instalment of the Spellbound in Sedona series has only added to that desire!
Abby is bringing up her daughter alone, living on their ranch with her two sisters. All three of them are from a magical background but although her sisters have recently discovered their magic, Abby has yet to do so - although as a skilled and talented blacksmith some of whose pieces have proved ... lucky?! ... she's beginning to think there might be something there.
Then something starts intefering with the local vortexes and her ex suddenly decides to try to take their daughter away from her - the last thing she needs is a stunningly good looking firefighter coming to work with her in her workshop ...
As usual, a cracking good story with a romantic element to add to the fun - or maybe a lovely romance with a cracking good story to weave it around - and I look forward to the next book!
Sedona’s vortexes are in danger & not for the first time. Why are they acting funky? Is someone messing with them again?
Abby Carson is a female blacksmith who made a “lucky” ax for the local wildland firefighters’ group. It was perfectly balanced, never needed sharpening, and protected the firefighters from harm. Cooper thought the superstition was crazy. But someone had stolen their lucky ax, and sure enough one of the firefighters had been hurt. The firefighters decided to order everyone a lucky ax from Abby.
What’s the connection between funky vortexes, Abby the blacksmith, lucky axes, and Cooper the firefighter? Why magic, of course! But to truly understand all the connections you’ll have to read the book! Oh, and Abby & Cooper fall in love & enjoy some sexy times…. Really, it’s just better to read the book!
I received a free copy of this book via the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Thoroughly enjoyable and a good conclusion to this series. A nice ending with a few additional surprises thrown in re the baddies and the vortexes. Loved Cooper, a real teddy bear of a grizzly. I struggled a bit with Abby, even though she wasn’t as emotionally cold as in the first two books. I can understand her reasons, but she really needs to put her anger where it is justly deserved, on her waste of space biological sperm doner. Thankfully she finds balance in her life between being a strong, overprotective and emotionally stunted woman, to realising Cooper is someone she can build a life with. If seeing Cooper interacting with her daughter Claire didn’t open her eyes, then nothing would. He was engaging, protective and caring with Claire, who obviously adored him. This is my honest review of this book.
This is the final story in a three book series. They really should be read in order to avoid too many spoilers for earlier books. Dream Weaver follows the relationship of Abby who is the third of the three sisters to have her story told and find her mate in Cooper. Cooper and Abby are polar opposites with the exception of both being forest wildfire firefighters. The unfolding of their friendship and love is interwoven with the third installment of an attempt to steal the power of the magical vortexes in Sedona. The character development is well done. The primary characters (mostly family) from the previous books are an active part of the story. The dysfunctional but lovable family provides a grounding point for all of the story lines. The overarching story in the series is fully resolved. This was a worthwhile series to read.
Our third sister Abby gets her story. She is singularly focused on her blacksmithing, and her daughterClaire. Otherwise she has her walls up strong and tall. Cooper just joined the Yavapai hotshots firefighting crew, and doesn’t expect to be called in as Abby’s assistant to replace a stolen ax, which the team believes has kept them safe. This time twenty of them, one for each team member.
A fast-paced story with magic, vortexes, family, shifters, wildfires, an affinity for fire, parenting, and a delightful romance.
A terrific series.
***** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book *****
Beautifully written paranormal romance with a really feelgood ending. The community spirit and familiar feeling of the town and family life makes for comfort and non stop reading. Just like all of Anna lowe's adventure paranormal stories there is a fight between magical good and evil with enough twists and turns to muddy the waters on who the culprit may be.
l want to mention that l also purchased the AI narrated audiobook which l must say was very affordable and pleasant to listen to, l can recommend that also!

It really ahows how much she loves the characters and wants you to love them too.

An awesome ending to a wonderful series. You have intrigue, surprises, emotions and much more. One that will keep you reading until the end and then sad it is over. I highly recommend this. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
Abby is a blacksmith with shifter genes. She has an ex who suddenly wants custody of their daughter and she meets a bear shifter who is too handsome to be loyal. Great characters, magic and the supernatural abound in this story.

Great ending to this trilogy. I don’t write spoilers so I’m just going to say. Please check this book out. Anna does not disappoint. She can weave a tail that keeps you wanting more.
