Welcome to Everlasting, Maine, where there’s no such thing as normal.Wil Messing may own a thriving antique shop in the tiny seaside town of Everlasting, Maine, but the man and the shop are far more than they appear to be. Born into a long line of supernatural hunters, this alpha male has had to make tough decisions all of his life. But the toughest one of all was walking away from the woman who … woman who stole his heart long ago. But he had no choice. It was for her own safety.
He wants more from her than mere friendship but knows he has no right to ask—not with their past. But when a secret admirer begins leaving Jolene gifts, it doesn’t take a great detective to tell Wil it’s now or never.
Jolene Bails may come off as a tough-as-nails, no-nonsense kind of woman, but underneath it all, she has a softer side. Now that she has a Secret Santa, who seems to know her well, she finds herself opening to the idea of wanting more from life. But first, she has to figure out who is leaving her mysterious gifts and why it is Wil, her old flame, is acting so strange.

Full of laughs and the warm fuzzies. I love anything Mandy Roth writes!!
Laugh out loud funny. Mandy’s books are always awesome!
Finally their time
I love that Wil and Jo finally get their HEA. Both of them have taken care of their loved ones and helped them to find their HEAs without being able to make the connection they should have always had. It wouldn’t be Everlasting without some angst along the way, but that just adds to the depth of the story. I hope there will be more books from the town of Everlasting.
Fun, charming story about second chances at a first love.
You’ve met and loved them both from the earlier stories….now we finally have theirs. I’ve waited a long time to see these two characters come together. You could tell there were sparks and there was a hint of a history between the two…now it call comes out. Mandy did not disappoint with this story. I absolutely loved Wil and Jolene’s story. It is full of comedy, mystery and alpha males meeting their demise. I highly recommend reading this great story.
An Everlasting Christmas by Mandy M. Roth
This was a perfect paranormal holiday read!! Very cute and incredible characters!!
I enjoyed reading about Jolene and Wil (Wilbur), the interaction and chemistry between them is wonderful. This book, has a good storyline, it is entertaining, and filled with humor. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
A Christmas Wish
Oh it’s a very Merry Christmas when we finish this story. All through the book we learn about Will & Jo’s past & we get caught up in their loneliness. It’s fun to see the lengths the girls go to in an effort to make them happy.
Welcome back again to Everlasting, Maine that quirky little town full of loveable characters.
This time our story revolves around Wil Messing the local antique shop owner/ Paranormal Hunter (retired) and his ex flame Jolene Bails. Jolene is a Were-Dolphin as well as the local service station owner and operator.
Wil walked away from Jolene many years ago to protect her from the hunters. Even though it was the hardest thing he had ever had to do, his love for her had never faded.
Now it seems she has a secret Santa, the thought of losing her is twisting him up inside.
No way was someone going to take her away from him again! Now if he can only convince Jolene that his love for her is real and he wants another chance to show her he is the man for her.
Can a match between a hunter and a supernatural even work, or will they be doomed once again?
This is such a fun series, every book just keeps getting better and better. You don’t have to read them all, each one can be read alone but think of all the fun you will be missing out on if you don’t read all of them.
I love this series. This one was really short but I loved it anyway. It can be read as a stand alone but reading them in order with give it a richer experience. There are some others that have the main character in them and really help you to get to know her. I liked the secret Santa and how everyone thought it was certain men. Also, I know this is a Christmas read but it can be enjoyed all year because it mainly focuses on the story and not the holiday. I was so happy for Jolene and Wil. Too bad they didn’t make it work when young. But it’s nice they were true mates so that spark stayed more alive than ever.
So happy that Jolene and Wil got their story.

Another short but sweet Christmas story by Ms. Mandy. There’s nothing like falling in love with a book that took an hour to read, it’s such a peaceful feeling that lasts forever.
Jolene Bails is a Dolphin Shifter but right now in Everlasting, Maine it was freezing and she was getting to old everything hurts. But when she finds out she has a Secret Santa her days become warm. Who could it be?
Wil Messing owned a Antique Shop of precious supernatural objects. He was also in the family business of Hunters of the Supernatural for over two hundred years now. Many were terrified he would look there way. Especially if they crossed his love.
These stories get funnier and funnier and this one is no less funny. I loved Wil and Jolene they were so cute around each other, This was a perfect read for the holidays and I cannot wait to see what else Ms Roth has in store for Everlasting.
Loved this story and especially loved getting to catch up with the characters from Everlasting.
I loved this story. It includes a visit with some of my favorite Everlasting characters. I’m always touched by love for the little older set. In this case, the couple is quite a bit older than the humans of the town, they just don’t look it.
Jolene runs the towing mechanic shop in town. She’s a good mechanic. No kids, her nephew has made an unending visit to another town too far away for regular visits. Loneliness is getting to her until gifts start showing up from a secret Santa. He or she may be a secret but they know her pretty well to give those particular gifts.
Will has always been in love with Jolene. Even when they were married to different people. Their youthful love had been squashed by both families. When he sees the gifts she getting he thinks he knows who it might be and he isn’t letting her go this time. He just has to get her on board.
The on-going secrets, antics, and jealousy are funny even sweet. Watching Jolene show a side that few people see gives you that “awe” feeling. This is the kind of story we all can use in this crazy world of ours. You’ll read the last line and sit back with a smile. Don’t miss this new winner in the series.
This was so heart warming! I have read all of the Everlasting stories up to this point and was already familiar with all of the characters and back stories. Having this Christmas story was just an extra heaping of sugar on top of some already great stories. It was fabulous to see everyone pull together just like family.
Yay, Mandy M. Roth gives us Will’s story. And what a story it is. Wil Messing owns an antique shop with all the super natural things that he guards in it. He is a supernatural hunter and his whole family was. Because of his family, he had to make a choice long ago to walk away from a woman, Jolene, that he loved so very much to protect her for her protection.
Jolene Bails comes off as super tough and no nonsense but she has a soft side that no one too. Her old love is Wil Massing. She never got over him. Now she has a Secret Santa and Wil isnt happy about the gifts she has gotten . This is just what might be the kick Wil needs to get his girl back before it’s too late to win Jolene back.
This story is full of fun, full of great characters, has the mystery, tons of twists and turns and has the steam that makes this such a great romance read.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
AWWWW. Ok, this one is sweet with a little sass in it. Fans of this series know by now that Jolene is spunky and Wil is stubborn. Combine the two and awwww, sparks, caveman attitude, the color green (as in jealousy) and a town full of nosey busybodies. I loved this book and was hooked. Nope, did not put it down and devoured it. I really thought it was short, but really it was 150 pages of humor.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
Everlasting
Wil Messing owns an Antique shop with super natural things he guards in it. He was a supernatural hunter. His whole family was. Because of them he had to make a choice long ago to walk away from a women he loved for her own safety ( jolene)
Jolene Bails comes off as tough as nails and no nonsense but she has a softer side to. Her old flame is Wil massing. She never got over him and she has a secret santa but Wil is so not happy about the gifts she has been getting . This just might be the kick in the butt he needs to get his girl back before it’s to late.
This story is funny full of great characters, mystery, twists and turns. I loved it and couldn’t put it down. The interaction og the characters are amazing and this story really pulls you in fast. Don’t miss it.
Voluntarily reviewed a copy and I honestly loved it.
Yay, Wil and Jolene finally get some loving! Wil has been on his own for a long time. He and Jolene share a bit of history (not going to spoil anything) and he has harboured a bit of a crush for a while!
Jolene caved to finally pressure before and now lives her life, her way. No-one really gets to see the softer side that she releases within the confines of her home. She may know her way around a carburettor but she is also a rather chic and classy lady!
But just as he works up the courage to beg her for a chance, a secret admirer surfaces and before you know it the green eyed monster is firmly in residence.
I always knew there was way more to these two than just being friends! I loved their courtship but just felt heartsick at all the time they had missed! As usual romance doesn’t go smoothly and there may or may not be some meddling by well meaning relatives!
