Ties that Bond in Gretna Green
The third book in the Midlife Recorder series
It’s Valentine’s week in the Gateway, and Niki McKnight is preparing to conduct her first bondings for the fated, soul-bonded mates of the Kingdoms.
She was a registrar who married thousands of people in her former job—this will be a breeze … Right?
Wrong!
The bondings don’t quite go to plan. Cue hilarity, heartbreak and mysterious magical prophecies for some of our favourite characters.
Niki’s goddaughter Autumn is visiting, and her heart’s desires are to ride a unicorn and be a bridesmaid for the first time. So no pressure then!
And there are mysteries to solve:
- Why is the Recorder forbidden from bonding the members of an entire race?
- Why is Prince Charming Dai, her childhood crush, suddenly avoiding her?
- Why were so many bondmates trying to deceive her gran?
- Why is Dola sending everyone gifts?
- There’s coffee but why are there no doughnuts, brownies or other sugary goodness?
But in what’s supposed to be the busiest week of the Gateway’s year, Niki finally has some time on her hands to sort her own life out. Even if she still can’t manage to get her hair cut.
In this full-length, light-hearted addition to the Midlife Recorder series, you’ll find humour, tension and magical food as the Recorder confirms the soul bonds for Celts, Galicians, Vikings, Hobs, Picts and Fae.
Ties that Bonds in Gretna Green is a feel-good read. Perfect for readers who want an uplifting story with cozy paranormal fantasy elements. Set in a sentient Scottish house with a woman who needs to learn to wield her increasing powers before people are bonded for LIFE to the wrong partners.

The best book I read last year!
Just a rollicking story with great characters, a really gripping plot (and) a sense of joy underlying every word

Reviews for the Midlife Recorder series
If you like the midlife paranormal genre, I highly recommend this book. The next one cannot come soon enough for me!
The characters are well thought out and engaging and the storyline is far more interesting and complex than a lot of books of a similar genre.
You know you have found a great author when you really care what happens to their characters, human or otherwise.
Gripped from the first page and couldn’t put it down … gutted when I reached the end
A page turner. Cannot wait for the next instalment.
Fast read with lots of laugh-out-loud moments.
I’m breathlessly awaiting the next book.
This is the kind of story that makes you want to take off work early so you can keep reading it.
It’s so refreshing having mature characters, racial/ethnic diversity, LGBT acceptance, great writing, and fresh ideas all together. Technology mixed with magic is such an interesting concept.

One of those books I was sad to finish
