Fated #2
Charmed
Destiny is calling…
Fiona Galloway has known since birth that she is one of the Fated Six chosen to break a centuries-old curse handed down by her ancestor. She is a powerful witch with a gift for healing, is skilled at potions, and can use her air element with a twitch of her fingers. She races toward danger when most run away. Her weakness, however, is trusting people, especially if that person is a too-sexy, charming, affable guy who was forced to participate in their destiny and clearly doesn’t want to. But geez, his allure is weakening her defenses, making her crave the impossible, and she should know better. Love has never been an option. Well, until now.
Riley Meath’s family history is a thing of nightmares. One of his ancestors killed a Galloway during a witch trial, and the two households have been at odds since. Legend states when three-by-three from each family are born, the spell that has riddled both bloodlines with the inability to find and keep love can be broken—if they can join forces in performing fated tasks. Step one has already been completed by their younger siblings, but Riley and Fiona are next, and they’ve never gotten along. They’re in a race against the clock and fighting a brotherhood of hunters to fulfill their part or future generations are doomed. And oh, the brilliant, gorgeous little witch is making it harder than it has to be. So why is he willingly falling under her spell?
"I was under her spell from the first word to the last."

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this exceptional book
a slow burner of a book and it took me a while to figure out why....as the first book in this series was action action action, this one was a subtle burn and its all because of riley
the joker of the brothers, the one who could always be relied to bring light relief to others who had also suffered very badly from his uncle
but its also about fiona, the strongest witch out of the sisters, who was the first one to stand up for any of her sisters
so when these two are fated to work together its like to different worlds colliding and both riley and fiona need each other though neither know it....and i was so hooked by their different personalities and was so drawn into this book that you just wish there was a real riley in real life...oh hum....
so riley the joker and fiona the fighter but who is the strongest out of them both when it comes down to it...man oh man what a journey of discovery
there was plenty to this story to drag you in with magic and mayhem and threats galore, but the build up to the next book has already begun and i for one cant wait to see how it all pans out and with some startling discoveries in this book the sisters and brothers have their work cut out for them with their fight against their uncle and his hunters
i cant wait...

Amazing does not begin to cover this book. I was thrilled to see Ms. Moran announcement of this book. The first one was amazing and now this one. Fiona Galloway is a powerful witch, and has a gift like her sisters. Her element deals with the air. There is a curse between the Galloway’s and the Meaths. They have joined forces to break the curse. The first was Kaida and Brady in Bewitched. Now without notice Riley and Fiona are the chosen ones to complete the next task. It won’t be easy. Fiona is one who would rather do things on her own, and Riley stands right up to her he won’t back down.
This bickering between these two made me laugh. In the darkest hour Riley is there for her. Fiona knows she can trust Riley, and he’s there for her.
Preorder now. You will not be disappointed, and do pick up Bewitched. It’s a must read.

This is the second book in the Fated Trilogy. I high recommend you read Bewitched prior to reading this book.
A spell has been placed on the Galloway family and the Meath Family. Step one has been completed to lift this spell but now it is Fiona and Rileys turn to complete step two. Can they complete their mission without killing each other?
The banter between Fiona and Riley made this book for me. It bounced between funny, angry, sensual, and flirty. There were time I did want to throttle Fiona but Riley never gave up on her. They pushed each others button but they made each other stronger. Thrown in some not so fun visits from the Minister and the support of family and it makes a great paranormal read. I was on the edge of my seat right until the very end.

Book two in the fated trilogy. The first book was about Kaida and Brady. This one is Fiona and Riley. They must break a centuries-old curse passed on by their ancestor. Very steamy scenes, likable characters and interesting plot. I had a fun time reading it.
Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Riley and Fiona are oil and water, yet, somehow, they mesh into a couple. Facing paranormal dangers adds an edge to this tale, one that takes it to the next level.
"Can you swim, wicked witch?" - Riley
Mystery, magic and mayhem! Charmed by Kelly Moran is another enthralling, intriguing tale with more than a dash of danger and magic!

This series is amazing! I really enjoyed both of these books and can’t wait for the next one! The characters are interesting, the story is captivating and leaves you wanting more! Fiona is so much fun and Riley is unobtrusively awesome! I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so good! I was in love with Fi, her personality made me feel seen. The plot advanced in a new, unexpected way and I’m here for it. Can’t wait for the next book!

I managed to read the second book before the first. Still a great read! Great characters with just a little bit of smut. Will definitely finish the series.

I received a copy of Charmed by Kelly Moran from NetGalley. This book is a paranormal fantasy romance novel and the second book of the Fated Trilogy. The story follows the middle siblings, Fiona Galloway and Riley Meath. The Galloway sisters are witches, while the Meath brothers are trained fighters.
Centuries ago, a Galloway ancestor was burned for witchcraft by a Meath and she cursed the Meaths and the Galloways. This curse has impacted generations of both families. And now, the six fated (3 Galloway sisters and 3 Meath brothers) who can break the curse are here. The first book Bewitched follows Brady and Kaida, who completed the first part of the task. Now, it's Fiona and Riley’s turn to do their task. These six are the ones who can end this curse and the animosity between their families.
Fiona is a guarded person. She is smart and strong and doesn’t let anyone, even her sisters see her true feelings. Riley is fascinated by Fiona from the get-go. Since, the beginning of these tasks with his brothers and Galloway sisters, he has spent a lot of time with Fiona. There is chemistry from their first interaction, and I liked how they bantered with each other. The next part of the task is up to them, so now they are pushed even closer than before, working as a team.
I liked the balance of fantasy and romance in the book. Neither element overpowered the other in the story and flowed really well. Charmed by Kelly Moran is a story that’s filled with magic, romance, and a sense of adventure. I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait for the final book of the series.

The second book in the Fated trilogy is Riley and Fiona’s story. Fiona and her two sisters come from a powerful witch bloodline, the Galloways, while Riley’s Meath ancestor was a hate-filled, brutal witch-hunter who murdered the sisters’ ancestor for daring to fall in love with his son. Her final act was to curse both families until three brothers from the Meath family could unite with three sisters from the Galloway family to break the curse. In the first book, Riley’s brother and Fiona’s sister combined their strengths to complete their task and fall in love in the process, now it’s Riley and Fiona’s turn. The biggest problem is that these two have been sniping and arguing with each other in just about equal measure as the sparks that have been flying between them. Now they must set aside their antipathy and work together.
This book was slower paced with less external action compared to the first book as Riley and Fiona had a lot of internal, emotional work to do before they could complete their task. Riley is the jokester, the guy who is always laughing, but who hides his strength and depth of emotion behind his lighthearted facade. Fiona is a powerful witch, a force of nature and an independent woman who is used to solving all problems on her own and doesn’t want to rely on anyone. These two definitely have a grumpy/sunshiny vibe, but it is reverse of the usual trope. Fiona is the one who is not so much grumpy, but definitely relationship resistant while Riley is the optimistic, bright-eyed one. The only way they will succeed and find love is if Fiona learns to accept help while Riley finds his own hidden strength. Just as in the first book, it’s lovely to watch all of the sisters and brothers continue to strengthen their bonds and build a family together. My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.

Riley Meath and Fiona Galloway must work together to complete a task if the hope to end the deadly curse. The Reverend Meath is just as determined to eliminate the Galloway Sisters. The witching blade he possesses will allow him to kill witches and steal their power. This curse started when the Reverend killed Celeste Galloway 300 years ago. Celeste had cast a spell to save her family. Now the Meaths and the Galloways need to work together to stop this eternal torture. Fiona and Riley are dynamite together. Their disagreements are nonstop. Fiona is a strong powerful witch. She won't let any man take control. Riley is drawn to Fiona. He want to protect her. I knew that that Riley is a good man and a good match for Fiona. His Uncle, the Reverend was an abuser. He made Riley doubt himself. I loved seeing him become the loving protector that he was meant to be. These characters are so well written that the grabbed my attention immediately. I wanted them to triumph over the Reverend and his minions. I knew that it wouldn't be easy. Charmed is a wild ride. The action is nonstop, the romance is amazing and the dialogue is smart and sassy. Kelly Moran has outdone herself with this series. I couldn't stop reading! I can't wait to see what happens next.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.

I was so happy to get Riley’s story. Of course, I love Brady’s and Kaida’s story, but I was so excited to get more of Riley and Fiona.
If you love an “opposite’s attract,” this is for you. Riley has a joking personality, and Fiona has always had to be strong. However, for this task, they’ll need each other. The Minister/Uncle is back, and it’s not good. Can Riley and Fiona come together to complete their task in time?
Sigh, I love Riley. I loved that he was willing to be vulnerable. There were moments when I was frustrated with Fiona; however, I completely understood. For so long, she had to be the strong one, challenge after challenge. So, why should this be any different? This time, she has Riley.
This one wasn’t as fast-paced as book one; however, this story brought out so many emotions. Riley was the perfect combination of funny and sweet. Fiona was feisty but also made a lot of assumptions. I loved that in this story, Riley was the sunshine.
Moran’s writing and ability to tell a story are phenomenal. The witty banter between Fiona and Riley was great, and I felt like I was with them everywhere they went, from the shop to the cottage, to the mansion… I was right there.
I waited three years for this story, and I was not disappointed. I’m ready to see what is in store for Tristan and Ceara!

The story has pain, secrets, and heartbreak.
If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first as they are part of this series:
Bewitched (Fated, #1)
This is Fiona and Riley’s story. Fiona knew from birth about the curse and that she would have to help remove it. She is a healer, she can mix potions, and she can move air. Problem is she has a soft heart and tends to trust all the wrong people. She has a pull to Riley that she can shake but can she really trust him? Riley knows he has to break the curse. The two family have to work together in order to break it. Every one of the six of them have special tasks that have to fulfill in order for the curse to be lifted and for them to be able to find love. But destiny is pushing them all together and if they don’t break the curse they will all be domed and not able to keep the love that they found. Can they all work together to bring down a curse so they can all finally more forward and find love and be able to keep it? Or will they be cursed forever?
I recommend this book.

I'm a huge fan of Kelly Moran. This book did not disappoint.
This is the second book in the series and it is even better than the first. The chemistry between Fiona and Riley is electrifying. I couldn't put the book down.
Add a great storyline to characters that captivate and you have a recipe for a really good novel. This builds on the first book in the series and it should be read as part of the series rather than as a stand alone novel. You will need to know about the prior encounter with the villain for it to make sense.
Really great effort by Kelly Moran. I can't wait for the last book in the series to come out. The dynamics in the relationships for each pairing in the books just keeps getting better.
One of the things that I like most about Kelly is that she always delivers a story that tackles real life issues and she proves that she can consistently deliver unique twists to the stories that she puts out. If you want an author that stands out, pick up a book from Kelly Moran.

After finishing Bewitched I finished Charmed in a single sitting I loved Fiona’s and Riley’s combustible chemistry. It was all sparks and fireworks. She hard headed stubborn and independent. I really like when book authors give us strong and independent female characters with good personalities to boot instead of only sweet kind ladies. Riley was the perfect match to Fiona. A will they won’t they couple great for those of us who love tropes like opposites attract or enemies to lovers. Would highly recommend this book more than the first one on the fated series. The book was spicy, hot, funny unpredictable and sweet at times. Can’t wait for spellbound to read more about Tristan and Ceara.
October 25, 2022
After reading book one (Bewitched) of the Fated trilogy, I couldn't wait for Charmed to be released. Now it has arrived and I read it, I cannot wait for book 3!
Ms. Kelly's love for her characters and describing scenes make her stories so lovely to read. Even if you haven't read book one, you will not feel that you are missing anything, but you will want to read that as well of course.
Kelly Moran is portraying her characters very authentic, witty, serious and funny at the same time. She really makes you understand what drives them and what scares them.
Charmed is a great story about how and why opposites attract and it's written in a way you don't want to put it aside until you've read the last sentence. I love the mysterious and magical story and it's twists and I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I did!

Charmed by Kelly Moran.
Fated Trilogy Book Two.
Fiona Galloway has known since birth that she is one of the Fated Six chosen to break a centuries-old curse handed down by her ancestor. She is a powerful witch with a gift for healing, is skilled at potions, and can use her air element with a twitch of her fingers. She races toward danger when most run away. Her weakness, however, is trusting people, especially if that person is a too-sexy, charming, affable guy who was forced to participate in their destiny and clearly doesn’t want to. But geez, his allure is weakening her defenses, making her crave the impossible, and she should know better. Love has never been an option. Well, until now.
Brilliant read. Love this series. 5*.

This is the second book in the trilogy. I couldn't put this one down. Fiona and Riley are on tap next to help break the curse. It's not going to be easy. Fiona feels like she has to always be brave and face comes her way alone, but she has strong support system including Riley. Riley and Fiona are definitely an opposites attract situation. The love the love story that unfolds along with their family history and everything that is on the line is such a huge draw for me. The Minister is back at trying to do his evil work, but more questions pop this time. I really can't wait for last book in the trilogy. They keep getting better with each book. A Must read!

A big thank you to NetGalley and the author for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the 2nd book in a series, but reads well as a stand alone. I have just read the first book, so this was fun. I still like all the characters, the chemistry between the two leads in this book was good. This is Riley and Fiona's story. 4 stars I actually liked this one better than the first. Can't wait for the next one.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I actually read this book before today, and it was INCREDIBLE. I was hooked from the get go. When I say I could not put it down I am being quite literal!! I HAD to finish it to find out what happened. Riley + Fiona are quite a pair and I hope you love them just as much as I did. This series is one of my all time faves and I am eagerly awaiting Book 3!!

This was an amazing book that once I started I could not put down. It moves along at a great pace that made for an easy and relaxing read. It has interesting characters that you want to be there for and you feel as though you know them and a story that does not disappoint and keeps you reading until the end. This is a must read book, no doubt about it.

The much awaited second book in the series doesn't disappoint. Riley and Fiona are faced with the second of the tasks to complete this go round. Both of them have their own past to work through, and with love patience and help from one another they do just that.

Fiona Galloway has known since birth that she was one of the fated six to break a centuries long curse to restore love to the Galloway and Meath families. Even with all of that time she still isn't ready to accept her fate. When her youngest sister, Kaida, and one of the Meath brothers break the first step of the curse they know that either she or the oldest Galloway are next. While training Fiona lets her guard down with Riley and sparks fly, ending with a Celtic knot on their wrists. Can the pair get past their attitudes and work together to break the next step of the curse, or will they even get the chance with Uncle Greg pursing his own agenda?
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I was looking forward to Fiona and Riley's story when I read book one. Who doesn't love the redhead with a quick temper who loves to tempt? All of the Regina vibes (Supernatural reference), only much younger. Then there is Riley, who is so adorable and thinks of himself as the weak link in the Meath brothers, although none of them are truly weak. He isn't the bookish type like his younger brother, or the warrior type like his older, but he is all heart and strength for those he loves.
The only complaint I have about this book isn't even about this book. It is the simple fact that book three isn't out yet and we don't know when it is going to be out! I need to know what happens next, but fingers crossed it will be sooner rather than later. In the meantime, we do have other, non-paranormal books to enjoy from this author. Well, I don't. I already finished them since I finished this book, but that is beside the point.
We have our favorite villain back in book 2 from book 1 and he is still trying his best to thwart the couple's plans. However, Uncle Greg now has some new tricks up his sleeve, and he is not afraid to use them. I am sure you will enjoy this book as much as I did. I will state, however, that you HAVE to read these books in order. Otherwise, you already know what is going to happen in book 1 and where is the fun in that?

This is the first time I've read a book where the protagonist annoyed the heck out of me, but I still love the book. lol. Fiona was closed off and stubborn, but Riley had the patience of a saint and eventually was able to bring out the best in Fiona. In this book, the next couple has to perform their task in order to break the curse on their families. I enjoyed seeing the triplets interacting with the sisters more in this book and look forward to the third.

Book 2 of the Fated triolgy has Fiona and Riley stepping up to the plate to do their part towards breaking the curse. Love the interaction and banter throughout the book. Love how they all support each other and give each other strength to do what's has to be done. Love the different personalities and how they wind compliment each other while pushing each other's buttons. Includes suspense, magic, romance, drama, and intrigue. Looking forward to reading book 3.

This is a nicely written, fast paced fantasy romance that made an enjoyable read. The characters are interesting, the action is plentiful and the dialogue is sharp. I haven't read the first in this series but I will be looking for it as well as the next one to come.
I won a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway for this honest review.

An excellent story. Emotional and action packed. I highly recommend this book and Bewitched (book 1) as well.
