About this listen

A dangerous spell gone wrong forces the passionate professor of incantations to share tight quarters with her magical college’s leading—and most brooding—alchemist.

Despite the college’s budget cuts that slashed her syllabus, Linguistics and Incantation Translation professor Maggie Linden has almost made it to the end of the spring semester. To celebrate, Maggie attends a magical masquerade on Beltane. Maybe the end-of-year frenzy explains why she kissed a masked stranger at the festival, though her celebration may have come too soon….

An accident in the lab of famous (and famously broody) alchemist Arthur Taliesin sets loose a dangerous, haunting magic called a pall that renders the nicer parts of their academic building uninhabitable. Maggie is assigned to share her tiny basement office with none other than Taliesin himself. With his insufferable attitude and unfortunate good looks, Arthur makes it impossible for Maggie to concentrate on anything—her research, her students’ final exams, or tracking down her mysterious Beltane suitor.

She’ll do anything to get Arthur out of her office, including offering to help him reverse the magic that threatens the school. But Maggie is starting to realize her officemate may not be the conceited grump he pretends to be. In fact, much of what she thinks is true about Arthur is merely a mask….

Critic reviews

Praise for Maggie and Arthur's Magic Moment

"Delightfully magical and wonderfully romantic, this irresistible romcom will make your heart smile!"—Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

"Maggie and Arthur's Magic Moment is a delightful contemporary romantasy with impeccable grumpy x grumpy romantic vibes, fun banter, comprehensive magical underpinnings, and only one office. It ticks all the fantasy academia boxes for me! I'm excited to see what Leslie René writes next!"—India Holton, international bestselling author of The Antiquarian’s Object of Desire

"What's the ancient Diadhan word for 'unputdownable?' Leslie René has crafted an enchanting world full of cleverly constructed magic, contemporary-yet-fantastical academia, and swoony slow burn romance (There's only one office? YES PLEASE!). From their first masked meeting to the story's emotional resolution, Maggie and Arthur had me spellbound—they might have had a magical moment, but they'll stick with me a lot longer than that."—Emily Krempholtz, USA Today-bestselling author of Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore
