The Druid's Bride
A witch with uncontrollable magic. A druid with a hidden past. A portal that never should have opened.
With the help of her mother and sisters, Fiorella Silveri has kept her plant magic secret. Though she longs to fully give in to her power, she knows the danger of losing control. Plant magic is wild, unpredictable, and tied to emotions. Tired of her family’s constant worry and overprotection, Fiorella yearns for freedom and a chance to finally master her magic.
When a mysterious voice from Fiorella’s past beckons, the pull of her magic grows stronger. This time, too strong for her family to stop. Perhaps even too strong for the handsome man who claims he's the forest guardian.
Leandro has no memory of his life before the forest. As a druid, his duty is to protect the trees and plants that grow there. He’s spent years watching the family of witches from afar. Though he’s drawn to Fiorella and her magic, he knows he doesn't belong in her world.
When danger returns to the woods, Leandro must face his fears and reveal himself to the woman who’s stolen his heart. As revelations are brought to light, Fiorella begins to question everything she’s been taught. But can she trust this mysterious stranger? To save their forest, the two must travel where few have gone before. To Faerie.
Will their love blossom in the wild lands or will their secrets keep them apart?
Welcome to Zamerra, where cozy fantasy intertwines with Italian cottage core and fairy core. Within this gaslamp fantasy realm, you’ll find witches, fae, warlocks, house elves, and much more!

This one is the story of the youngest Silveri Sisters' adventures.
Fiorella's character is sufficiently well-written, effectively conveying the frustrations of the youngest sibling in a large family, chronically underestimated and overprotected all through the series, now off on her own (mis)adventures.
Leandro's character is memorable, too, for his unconditional affection toward Fiorella, his commitment to save his forest and to keep his promise, even at great personal cost. The reveal of his lost memory and his legacy is particularly interesting.
But,
This one is not the most riveting of the Silveri Sisters' stories. It falls flat for the first two thirds of the book, and the last one third feels absolutely rushed. Fiorella's history, her connection to Faerie, and her numerous, numerous frustrations are a little too on-the-nose and sometimes come across as childish; her struggle to get control over her powers, resolving comically fast? Kinda disappointing and could've been a bot more of a build-up leading to it.
Overall, it's a fairly quick read with memorable characters from the previous books and a few new ones in this one, too. Wouldn't say it's one of those comfort reads you read again and again, but it's a satisfactory wrap-up to the Silveri Sisters' saga.

Ok tory
Ok story, but not the best of the series. Seemed to move really slowly with not much happening until page 150. The last 100 pages is where all the action happened. The ending felt rushed and felt too easy. I did like the deaf representation, being a mother to a deaf daughter myself, though there was hardly any signing.
In this story, we find out Fiorella's father is the King of Faerie, but no explanation of how that came about. The king sent her to the human realm to keep her safe. Didn't say from what. Made it seem like she was a young child when that happened, and she was sent with Leandro. So many unanswered questions like, where were her mom and sisters? Fiorella's the youngest, so were they living in Faerie, too? If not, then Fiorella must've been born in the human realm. So much was just so ambiguous I kept being pulled out of the story thinking about it all.
I'm disappointed considering I really loved the previous 4 books.

There are five Silveri sisters. All witches with different talents. This is the fifth book in the series and is Fiorella's story. Fiorella had an aura of mystery about her. Controlling her magic was not easy for her and there could be terrible repercussions should things go awry. The Druid's Bride gives an explanation to this problem. This has been such a fun series and I am saddened to say goodbye to the sisters. I do wish the last half of the book held a bit more story, a bit more information regarding Fiorella's father , but I did enjoy what we got. There are alot of children in the family sooooooo who knows, maybe we will see an adventure involving the cousins in the future. One can only hope.
I received a copy of this book via the author and am voluntarily leaving my opinion of the tale.

More like a 2.75 star.
This was my least favorite book in the series. It was slower and harder to get into than the others. I think what made Wolf’s Bride feel fresh is spite of being a 4th book was the expansion of the world - so I wish that this 5th installment would have spent more time in and around the Faerie. Both of the leads were enjoyable characters, but there was a lack of side characters to support them.
Overall the series was cozy and comforting, a nice little cup of tea and a scone with a blanket type of read, this specific story was just a little stale.

What a lovely ending to this series, several mysteries have been cleared up, Fiorella finally meets the man of her dreams and everyone is happy!
Loved meeting Leandro, he was so obsessed with Ella it was adorable! I loved his mental strength and fortitude.

A sweet, clean romance between a green witch and a druid, with a bit of fae trickery thrown in. My only complaint is that the fae story is not fully fleshed out. Otherwise, it's a nice conclusion to the Silveri Sisters series.

This is the 5th and final book of the Silveri Sisters Series! (If you wanna catch up before reading this one, go read The Fae's Bride, The Warlock's Bride, The Goblin's Bride, and The Wolf's Bride. Trust me, it's worth it!) I thoroughly enjoyed this entire witchy series. I had the pleasure of being able to proofread this last book. It did not disappoint! The Druid's Bride was probably the most magical of the entire series and was right up there with The Wolf's Bride on the adventure scale! 🧙♀️🧝♂️🪴🌳
You can't help but cheer Fiorella and Leandro on the entire book. Their love story is one of endurance, strength, patience, kindness, purity, caring, and learning to believe in yourself as well as the one you love. 🥰
This was the perfect ending to the series, and I definitely recommend all 5 books! 🫶

One of my most anticipated books of the year and it didn't disappoint. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to the Silveri sisters but it was such a perfect ending. Love this cozy series with all my heart!

This was such a sweet conclusion to the Silveri Sisters series. Fiorella is all grown up, and her magic continues to grow. She is frustrated with how much her family has shielded her, and yearns for freedom. A mysterious voice calls to Fiorella, and she knows that it is time to face her past.
Leandro, a druid living in the forest behind Fiorella’s villa, has protected the forest for as long as he can remember. He has no memory of his life before, but he knows he was told to protect. Like Fiorella, he has plant magic. Their worlds collide with faerie, and it is up to Fiorella and Leandro to save their beloved forest.
I loved that Leandro could only communicate through the plant connection! What a great way to represent different abilities.
Thank you to R. L. Medina for the ARC! I have loved this series! All opinions are my own.

Love blooms
Just like with Fiorella and Leandro, we, too, must work in partnership to save our environment. If only we each had a sort of environmental magic to fix the damage to our flora, earth, water, and air. What a wonder it would be to have pesticide-free food, herbal tea & medicines from our kitchen gardens, river-caught fish…and no allergies!
May we all find a partner who resonates with our values and supports us in our causes.
