OLD FLAMES AND NEW FORTUNES Moonville, Book 1

Narrator Valerie Rose Lohman will have listeners snort laughing through Hogle's fake dating witchy rom-com. Witch Romina Tempest uses the language of flowers to design perfect bouquets at a boutique in Moonville, Ohio. During wedding festivities, Romina fake dates her irreverent co-worker, Trevor, while her old flame, Alex King, glowers in annoyance. Lohman's voice for the morally flexible Trevor is spot-on, as are the voices for Romina's sister and her child. Romina and Alex share mock serious banter that engenders spontaneous laughter. Although Lohman's voices for Alex and Romina are sometimes indistinguishable, their sallies are highly entertaining. Lohman's slight lilt expresses Romina's joy in Moonville's quirky traditions and her family. Lohman presents a comedy edged with sweet sincerity in this series opener.
