Color of a Soul by Katherine McIntyre is an awesome story that I had the pleasure of reading. I loved reading this story very much and I highly recommend this to everyone who loves reading about fantasy, contemporary and paranormal romances in their stories as much as me.

Katherine McIntyre never fails to wow me with her stories, and this fast paced romance is just one more reason why. She’s gotten quite good at giving the reader stories of characters we don’t see every day, so it’s no surprise that Color of a Soul is about an undine looking for her soulmate. Kelsey and Jason have both given up on finding real love, so neither has much to lose when they meet. Of course, there’s a bit more to it than this couple seeing each other across a crowded room and living happily ever after, but that would give spoilers. Suffice it say that the book is wonderfully written and full of terrific characters, fun banter, and even a bit of angst for this couple to overcome.
She is in need of a soul mate and she only has days left to find one or she will never have one. He has lost everything and now he is there for a break which should have been for two. He meets her. Can he be the one? Will he find love again? See how they get on

This is a well written story with a very easy to read style of writing that I enjoy. I loved the descriptive writing, colors and landscapes that made me feel like I could smell the flowers and see the sun glinting on the water, the waterfall full of fantastic characters from a view only the fae normally get to experience. It was easy to identify with Jason and his collapsing world and with Kelsey enjoying and longing for her different world. The meeting of soulmates can not be planned but fate sure finds a way. Thanks to Kathrine McIntyre for the pleasure of reading this story. I highly recommend it.

Jason is at a tourist location on Lake Ontario that was supposed to have been a special getaway spot for him and his near fiancee, but she broke up with him. Unfortunately, the place they were to stay has a no-refund policy, so he decided to take the romantic vacation by himself. Here, he meets Kelsey, and they fall into a surprisingly easy and empathy-provoking conversation. She is quite unlike any other woman he’s met, but that is an understatement! She’s not a woman but rather an undine. She has come from the Otherworld and only has a few days left on Earth before she must go back to her Realm because she has been unsuccessful in finding her soulmate. To remain on Earth, she needs to join with another soul.
Some writing in this was a little awkward, but still the author was able to convey the feelings of both of these characters convincingly. I can sense how Jason was at a true crossroads in his life, not only losing his girl but his job as well; it was fun to see him perk up and come alive in his discussions and interactions with Kelsey. For our heroine’s part, it was lovely to see her unfolding wonder as she began to realize that Jason had potential to be the one, first in his acceptance and understanding and then in his obvious growing affection. The author did an excellent job describing the scenes and the settings—I felt like I could visualize them—though I wished at the end that she had given a little more detail on the exact undine-soulmate process that had to take place. I think that could have been fascinating to read if it were like the other well-done descriptions. I loved that first scene with the pixie!
I felt like this story needs a little more conflict and tension because the middle was mostly just delightful scenes between the hero and heroine. Still, though, I did enjoy these characters and their story. I like that the author has a brief epilogue that shows how they fare.
COLOR OF A SOUL is a fast-paced novella about an Undine looking for love. Kelsey has spent the past five years searching for her soulmate, the one who will allow her to stay in this world, rather than return to the Otherworld. Jason is on a holiday that he should be spending with his ex-nearly-fiancee. His world is grey and depressing until he meets Kelsey and she brings a spark of colour into his life.
This was a brilliant story, and I absolutely loved it was about an Undine, rather than a mermaid! The risks for these two are real, and how they sort them out works perfectly for this tale. There were no editing or grammatical errors that I noticed, and the whole story tied in together–no loose ends here. With a fast but smooth pace, this is the perfect lunch-hour book.
Absolutely recommended by me.
Oh my God this book was good. I even cried near the end…this book is about a chick who is searching for her soulmate but she’s about to run out of time.. and when her time runs out she had to go back home…

Color of a Soul
Katherine McIntyre
This was a great story. I loved the characters, and the storyline. Kelsey and Jason are amazing. You could not help but root for them!! The story really pulled you in, and made you want to read the it as fast as you could. Loved it!!
Jason Keller pulled up to the idyllic Oberon’s Inn hotel he and Sadie had booked for this vacation which he was now taking alone. She had broken their engagement, leaving him for another man, and the cost of the room was non-refundable. Even worse perhaps was that his career took a nosedive. He made a mistake on a huge corporate case and his years in forensic accounting for his firm ended in a pink slip as he walked out the door for good. Even the attendant that showed him to his room seemed to judge him for coming alone to a couple’s resort. He looked at the beautiful sun gliding off the rippling surface of the lake outside his window and tried to find some hope.
Kelsey locked up The Water’s Edge café. She would miss pounding dough for bread, grinding beans for coffee and the items she baked for the morning rush. She would have none of these back in the Otherworld. But she wanted to build her life HERE. Once the water she brought with her and put in her pond trickled to nothing, she would need to recharge back in the Otherworld before she could come here again—but that would not be for decades. Most Fae could not stay here; but the undine could, if they found a soul mate of their own. She had only days left before she had to return.
Jason wandered the streets, looking at the restaurants. He finally slipped inside to get a drink, sitting on the barstool next to a beautiful woman. Her first words were warm and welcoming, and he felt his tension lessen. When she called him Eeyore, he had to hold back a genuine grin. She was so different from Sadie, and every difference drew him closer to Kelsey. She was slowly healing him with every interaction they had. And able to read people very well, he wanted to find out more about the shadows he saw in her expression at times. Jason paid his bill and stepped outside in the lovely evening – and for the first time in a long time, he felt hope.
Jason finally located The Water’s Edge café and placed his order as they chatted. He was both shy and confident, vulnerable and closed off, and it fascinated her as no one else ever had. She invited him to her home for dinner, but arriving a half hour too soon, he heard voices in her back yard and walked toward them. To his shock, he saw an actual pixie arguing with her, flying around her head! When it saw him, it flew at him until Kelsey called the pixie back. Jason walked up to her, absolutely delighted to realize he had been right – there was always something “other” out there in the world. This proved it – and Kelsey must be part of it to be so comfortable conversing with the pixie! She stepped forward and took his hands and he thought he upset her. But she was actually overwhelmed at his full acceptance of her world! Could he be the one she had been looking for? Her soulmate? Her love? And was there enough time for them to fall deeply in love so she didn’t have to leave her life here?
This was a lovely story that captured the heart and emotions. The author was able to paint the scenes so realistically that it felt like the reader could see everything and was right there in the middle of it. The characters had a beautiful and gentle interaction at their first and subsequent meetings where the reader could see how each saw something in the other and could heal it or accept it, which itself brought healing. It was fascinating and delightful how the story spun out and filled two people with hope and something more. Grab your copy – you won’t be experiencing words on a page, but rather a touch on your emotions. You don’t want to pass this one by!
