About the author
T.M. Cromer
66 books635 followersT.M. Cromer is a multi-award-winning sorceress of the written word and fearless architect of high-stakes paranormal romance. With a flair for twisty plots, slow burns, and swaggering heroes hot enough to scorch the page, she conjures stories that hook readers and refuse to let go. From her cozy PNW lair, flanked by two Hellhounds and an unholy amount of caffeine ambition, she weaves love, danger, and humor into every page. Whether it’s witches, sirens, or magical assassins, her characters never behave, and neither do her stories.
When she’s not dreaming up new ways to ruin her characters’ lives before crafting their HEA, she’s daydreaming about swimming with orcas or cackling over a particularly clever line of dialogue. Come for the magic, stay for the heartbreak, and maybe fall a little too hard for a man who only exists on the page.
T.M.’s stories are 100% certified organic, author-created content. No artificial intelligence was used in the writing of her books.

Amazingly awesome
Just when I think I can’t love the O’Malley’s anymore, I’m proven wrong. Eion is nothing what I pictured him being and all better for it. Irish through and through, not a art snob at all. Brenna was so adorable. And the special gift they have with each other. Amazing.

Awesomely Exciting
Never a dull moment in this book! Extremely good, action throughout and lots of personal relationships. Mishaps righted, mates found and needing to be convinced all in all a well crafted adventure!

Cocktails & Cauldrons is a phenomenal paranormal romance by T.M. Cromer. This one may just be my favorite of the series....so far. Eoin is an artist and has just come into his magical powers. Brenna is used to rescuing people from her wicked aunt. When Eoin takes Brenna to Ireland with him after she has a falling out with her aunt, he had no idea she was magical also. Brenna and Eoin's story is loaded with drama, humor, spice, action and suspense. And we can't forget the shillelagh. This is a fun read and I loved every page. Cocktails & Cauldrons is book 4 of The Unlucky Charms Series but can be read as a standalone. I suggest reading all the Throne Witch stories first because those characters pop up frequently in this series also. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.
Yep, I'm going to say it again...this series is magically delicious.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Liked but
This book was not even close to as good as thr first 3 in the unlucky charms series or any of the Thorne series books. There was no heat, no real love story and no real climax or story arc. I was Disappointed. From the epilogue, i do have high hopes to being back to what we're use to from this author with Ronan & Dubheasa's story.

Unexpected love and power
I loved, loved Eoin and Brenna’s magical romantic suspense tale. The storyline was imaginative, the characters real and relatable, and the writing addictive, all drawing you into this magical world. The story beautifully wove together family drama, unexpected plot twists, palpable tension, danger, healing, deep emotions, and sizzling romance. Eoin is a famous artist and a warlock from a magical family that was just freed from a 250 year old curse. Now that he has access to magic, he needs to return to Ireland to learn to control it. Brenna is a mousy quiet woman who has lived under her controlling great aunt’s thumb since the death of her grandmother. She and Eoin are on friendly terms because of his work. When Eoin unexpectedly hires Brenna to be his personal manager and travel to Ireland with him, she cannot say no to the man she’s been secretly in love with for years. Of course, almost immediately it appears that human is not all Brenna is and there are lots of unexpressed emotions. To get to their HEA, there will need to be some baggage unpacking, evil thwarting, secret uncovering, powers learning, and family healing. This well written story included engaging dialogue, characters with dimension, good world building, and an interesting storyline. I am looking forward to reading more in this series. 4.5 stars.

What Creature is This??
Brenna and Eion are hilariously amazing. Tara Cromer has outdone herself with this one. Chock full of humor, Cocktails and Cauldrons continues the story of the O’Malleys and O’Connors feud, but with a bit of a twist as Brenna comes sheepishly into the picture. Eion finds himself in new territory as he begins to find himself ever the protector of sweet, innocent Brenna.
Everything gets turned on its head, as it usually does in Cromer’s worlds, just as soon as the pair touch down in Ireland. A little red herring here and a little red herring there, and boom your in the midst of a heckuva story!
Cromer slips in some familiar faces all the while introducing new characters. She does a tremendous job blending the new with the old.
The humor is off the charts with this one! Brenna is a fecking riot to be sure!! It is delightful, and tactfully placed to make this easily my new favorite of the series. But don’t take my word for it, get on out there and read it for yourself!

More Unlucky Charms, PLEASE!
Finished Cocktails & Cauldron, book 4 of the Unlucky Charms series by T.M Cromer, in one day. I read the last sentence and clutching the book to my chest, with a goofy grin on my face I sighed, whispering, " Ain't true love grand!" I could live forever, in the magical Ireland T.M Cromer has created. But then I realized that now I would have to wait until 2023 before I could visit again. Ugh! Why didn't I slow down and savor it more?
Cocktails and Cauldron introduces
more magical beings, and the continued feud between the Conner and O'Malley families! This novel was non-stop adventure and suspense. The romance burns up the pages. T.M Cromer skill with words makes the characters come alive and the magic, the places seem so real. You don't read Cocktails & Cauldrons, you experience it.
I loved this novel and I adore the whole series. I may have to re-read books 1-3 while I wait for Book 5!

Cheeky Irish hunks. Fiesty strong women. Witches. Banter. Romance. A sprinkling of spice.
If you like any of these or just generally a great read, please check out this author and this series!
I adore this authors work and this book is no exception! Eoin may just be one of my favourite Cromer men, but Ronan will always have my heart, and his story has been expertly teased and perfectly set up at the end of this book!
I could relate quite a bit to the character of Brenna, not feeling sexy, not having the greatest fashion sense, she was understandably vulnerable but you could still see that she had strength and fight in her!
Now if I could just find my own Eoin, I would be set.
This series is an excellent extention of The Thorne Witches series and it keeps such wonderful continuity.
I had several times in this book that made me very much laugh out loud, moose being one of them 🤣
I also thoroughly enjoyed the cheeky bonus scene, that can be found at the end! Perfect!
I can't wait for book 5!

This series has grown on me. Magical and humourous.
Eoin is an artist who has just rediscovered his lost magic. Brenna is the quiet mouse. She is the muse to his art and beneath it all lies a Siren. She lives with her domineering. Eoin is attracted to her and she believes that she is not his type. Living with her aunt would do that to anyone. She loves his art and little does she know that she is his muse. It's good to see members of the Thorne family. I love the ever present Alistair. He is a blast. Anyway Eoin takes Brenna fr her aunt's clutches. She is a magic thieving Succubus and now there others who wish to drain her. Eoin is romantically drawn to Brenna and their love story is beautiful. There a few twists and turns and when the Aether gets involved, everyone takes notice.
I love every installment of this series. It's magical. Compelling and intense. The magic is intriguing. This is a great installment and I love the love story between Eoin and Brenna. Fascinating.

Wonderful, as usual!
Every book in this series is better than the last. I fell in love with Cian and Piper, then was swept away by Carrick and Roisin’s story, then cheered and swooned for Bridget and Ruarí, but I am absolutely enthralled with Eoin and Brenna.
I love this standalone series that intermingles beloved characters from her amazing Thorne Witches series. It’s so much fun to have familiar “faces” pop in to help out or save the day.
T.M. Cromer’s talent for fast-paced, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat stories filled with romance, spice, and enough intrigue to keep you tied up in knots never fails to entertain. This book is no exception.

Awesomesauce! I loved this story about a siren who didn't know she was one and the witch who fell in love with her. If she succumbs to her siren, she'll turn into a succubus and steal his power and his life. She loves him but feels she can't have him for fear she will hurt him.
This book brought back all of the main players from previous books as well as Spring, Alistair, and Aurora from the Thorne Witches series. It was a lot of fun as well as being quite intense. A great read and I both dread and look forward to the next book. Dread because it's supposed to be the last of the series. I will miss these witches.

Does he ever go away
Okay Eoin and Brenna's story had a lot of very tense moments. Who would have thought a Siren would be thrown into the mix. Poor Brenna had no clue what she was or what she was capable of thanks to her wicked Aunt Odessa.
I love how the O'Malley and Thorne's all come together when they are needed. I nearly had a heart attack reading this book. So many unexpected twists.
All works out for Eoin and Brenna in the end.
But at the very end we again are shocked out of your mind again. I seriously can't wait for Dubhease and Ronan's book. GAH we have to wait until April.
PS I was asked to edit my review......original to many spoilers

Another great book! I loved the story line! Brenna & Eoin are perfect for each other. There was a lot of laughing out loud while reading it! Tara has a way with words that puts you right in the moment with the characters. I loved having the Thornes, Damian & Sabrina involved with everything too. Loving the Thorne series as I do, it’s nice to have them make appearances. I can’t wait for Damians book!! Tara, I love losing myself in the world of your books! It’s a nice place to be!! Thank you 💜

Another absolutely stonking book from T.M Cromer
Tara has the ability to take what could be an ordinary story in anyone else's hands and turn it into a masterpiece. If I could give this book 12 stars I would. It's my favourite of the Unlucky Charms- a spin-off series from the Thorne Witches. If this is the first book you are reading from the series, I recommend you start at Book 1 of the series - you'll thank me for it later

Now that magic's been restored to the O'Malley family it seems it Eion's turn to find his true love and what a surprise to find out not only who it is but what she is. Follow their amazing love story while fighting off those who would steal it all from them. Great book, terrific writing - you get caught up in the story from the very beginning and it holds you captive until the very last word. Amazing series, you're going to love it.

Smashed it!!!!
TM smashed this story. I loved all the action and the turmoil that Breanna had to go through learn and understand what she was and how to control it. Eion was a sight to behold. I loved how he did not waiver in his love for Breanna. Thank the stars that another book will be coming out. I want more and can not wait to get my hands on the Sentinels of Magic series starting in November.

A sweet and endearing story of love and discovery, this is the fourth book in the Unlucky Charms series that follows the lives and loves of the O’Malley clan as they each find their soul mate and break the curse to discover their magical abilities.
Read full review in the 2023 May issue of InD'tale Magazine.

There is just something about Eion. Yeah, everyone else in the series has the inflection for the brogue, but there is something about Eion where you can actually hear his sexy voice saying yeah and love. He is my second favorite character of Tara's behind Damian, of course! If you want a laugh or two with just a little darkness and happy endings, read the Unlucky Charms series!

Wow, another great story, from TM Cromer

A magical tale
T.M. Cromer has delivered another glorious tale of Ireland magic! She continues to regale us with humor and sassy FMC's and love and magic. Her character journey introduces both old and new characters. Their lives are entwined. The amount of research the author has done is astounding! Bravo!!

Really enjoyed this book
Right after I googled how to pronounce Eoin (Owen for this American), I loved this book. I enjoy all of T.M.’s books but this one just hit me from page 1. The author seems more sassy this book too and I am here for it - more humor, more witty banter etc. looking forward to book 5!

T.M. Cromer does it again!!
Cocktails and Caulrons do not disappoint! I love Eoin and how he really saw Brenna. The unconditional love he has for her is beautiful. I loved seeing some of the Thorne family in the book. I'm hoping for happily ever after for them! They deserve it! Cannot wait for the next book!!

Another fabulous story from T.M. Cromer! I love, love, love her stories. This is Eoin and Brennas book. They have their work cut out for them. Will they get past all the hurdles in their way?! You will have to read and find out! I just want to be a part of this family. They are all so close and are there for each other.

Love this series
Just when I thought the series couldn't get any better it does. I love that the Thorne's are back and Damien as well. Seriously love all the characters and how they interact. Bringing in a siren and have her power works was simply amazing. As usual can't wait for the next book.

Awesome, awesome book!
I really enjoyed reading Cromers take on Sirens. I actually found myself almost believing they really could exist, if they were really like this. Other than that, another grand adventure & love story has been closed, so I can move on to read about "Dovey" next. I can't wait to find out where she got that nickname LOL.

Brenna was enthralled with Eoin and his paintings and after 4 years of waiting for him to notice her, he did! Now they have to deal with her Sirens new abilities and people wanting her powers so she must face everything at once to save lives! Highly recommend this book and series

squealing delightfully
It gives She’s All that vibes but Magic. Even with the continued story of our unlucky charms finding their loves- there’s a lot of wit and humor and pain and angst and most of all; seeing leftovers of joy. I love Cromer’s take on sirens and it’s just (ugh chef kiss )
