About this listen
Lucifer meets Practical Magic in this opposites attract witchy rom-com brimming with sass, spice, and small-town charm!
What’s a broke tea witch to do when she’s about to lose her beloved café?
No idea, but chugging magic mojitos and drunk-summoning the Devil was definitely the wrong call.
Now, I’m stuck with the house guest from Hell—literally—and we couldn’t be more opposite: a homebody who brews healing teas and reads romance novels to her cats versus a sexy-as-sin playboy with a pitchfork tattoo on his butt and a fondness for public day-drinking. In the nude. Ergo, the pitchfork discovery.
Infuriating!
I’ve tried to send the Dark Prince packing, but the spell won’t let him leave—not until he unlocks my so-called “heart’s desire.”
Well. My only desire is to clear my debt and save the café, which would be a lot easier if I wasn’t so distracted by his stupidly charming British accent.
Or the smile that keeps incinerating perfectly innocent panties.
Or the spellbinding, toe-curling, never-should’ve-happened kiss at the Wayward Bay Halloween Ball that has me believing in a different kind of magic:
Love.
So maybe the real question is… What’s a broke tea witch to do when she’s about to lose her café and her heart?
The Devil Made Me Brew It is the first book in The Witches of Wayward Bay, a series of standalone paranormal rom-coms where the magic is real and the witches always get their magically-ever-afters. No cliffhangers, guaranteed HEAs, and plenty of heat, humor, and heart!
This audiobook features duet narration and is perfect for fans of opposites attract romance, forced proximity romance, stuck together romance, fish out of water romance, and he falls first!

Laugh out loud fun!
This book was absolutely fabulous! The story was irreverently funny, and the performance was top notch and nailed the characters superbly! Honestly, I haven’t laughed this much in a long time. Both performers had me in giggles. There were some touching moments and a seriousness to the overall storyline but it didn’t overshadow the lightheartedness of the story. I loved it! Five stars! Thanks to Shane East for the recommendation on instagram. I’ll be looking for more books by the author.

If only the author didn't push an ideological view...
Ok so I am torn. I didn't like a previous book I tried from this author(book not tied to this series), but I like the narrators so I figured maybe they can work their magic on my ears.
Performance 5/5: Shane East delivered and how he brings the books' mmc to life made this book so enjoyable. I also liked how he uses distinct accents to depict the various male characters in chapters or sections when Dev is interacting with the other male secondary characters. Samantha Brentmore is a hit or miss depending on the book, but this time I really liked how she brought all the quirks of the fmc out. The only mini downside that I have noticed with her narrative style is that she doesn't do voice differentiation for the female secondary characters unless there is a noticeable age difference.
Story 3/5: This book is not like Ms. Pipers' other book that I read which tend to run more magic/action focused. This is not necessarily a negative unless you were looking for that aspect specifically. If you want low angst, low drama, small-town romcom, this book might be for you. Just ignore the paranormal traits in the book because they don't really impact the story.
****The following is my personal opinion, but it's why I gave the story an average score regardless of how well the narrators did.
My biggest pet-peeve was the man hating in the book. Keep in mind this is a M/F romance, and the MMC plays a belated, but active role in saving the indecisive, self-doubting FMC (btw, him helping her is a requirement to free them both from the bonds from the spell she drunk-casted...) Anyways, examples, baddies are simply referred to as "men", rich/frat-brother cohorts, town founders backstory showcasing inequality (2 guys given credit immediately, but the female witch whos life sacrifice wasn'tacknowledged until much later even though her sacrifice allows for the town to be a sanctuary for human and nonhumans). I don't want to expand, but every forced instance made me cringe. I feel like if Devlins' character wasn't needed for the m/f aspect to classify this book as a romance, he wouldn't exist in his role. He could've easily been re-casted as the leader of the baddies based on gender alone. As a strong, straight woman, I love strong men in my romances, please don't ruin fiction books with current social trending hastags and so on.
This author is another who's joined the long list of "give it a miss" for me regardless of their writing skill because I am kind of tired of the woke nonsense ruining books for me. If it wasn't for this, I could have been inspired to give Ms. Pipers' books another try.
