Quick, fun read
Calluna was a great, quick & fun read. I always enjoy these short and sweet stand-alones from the Silver Springs world.
This is such a great light hearted with a good dose of chaos series and Calluna is no different. The animals are cursed and the back story is to find out who is doing it. I would have never expected the twist at the end and I love it when a book catches me off guard. The men are wonderful in their variety. Lan need a good shin kicking for being an idiot but have no fear, it will work out in the end. Level headed Damian and Fly by the Seat of His Pants Rhett are polar opposites and Elias, you have to love someone a great deal to change everything that you know in order to be with them… siiiiigh. Anybody know where I can get an enchanted romance book? Asking for a friend
*Spoiler Alert*
Owner of Beastie Besties Pet shop Calluna (FMC) gets an influx of animals being spelled with dark magic. Being a changeling with dark magic herself she sets about to help them. Which brings a fennec fox shifter – Rhett and his boyfriend meerkat shifter – Damien when Rhett gets hit with dark magic and needs help. Who both turn out to be more to Calluna than she could have imagined. As well as bouncer – Landyn who she has complicated relationship with and Angel – Elias. My god did love Calluna in her friend Roses books and i was dying to get my hands on Calluna’s own book. It didnt disappoint. Its a great book with plenty of laughs a few given by her friend and workmate Lars. Love him. Other sources of laughs was the flying d**k that cant get up (lol) and the flying d**dos. Cracked me up lol. Such a good read
Calluna and her mates are absolutely hot together. Her story takes you to a new store in Silver springs that will keep you guessing the whole time. Great addition to this wonderful world.
Calluna/Luna/Callie as her mates nickname her is the owner of the Silver Springs pet store. Between someone cursing animals and her comfortable stay at home life, Calluna doesnt have time or desire for much more, except maybe some *fun*. She reads Love Blooms and suddenly she’s being claimed by 3 shifters and an angel. I liked the idea of the guys being together before they were mated and then opening the relationship to welcome her. I did not expect the bad guy to be who it was and was almost sucked in to it being someone else.
I love jewels Arthers writing and the way she writes to draw you in to the story. having you wanting more and I was not be disappointed as I couldn’t put it down.calluna who’s a bit of a recluse and doesn’t go out mush runs the beastie besties with her hunkie gay best friend Lars.I loved there banter between one another and found Lars a hoot the way he made calluna go for a night out to vees to let her hair down as she would rather stay with her pets than go out.meets landyn the Griffin shifter who work as a security guard at vee and ends up having a passionate night together which she thinks nothing off but with a mystery book lupine leaves at her store things start to change for her and she’s got more to think about than cursed animals.Suddenly there are more men showing up claiming to be her mate which at one point she’s is so confused with every things that is going on.this book is jam packed with action that will have you at the end of your seat that you won’t suspect what is going on till the end.I also loved the fact that you got to see rose in the story and the lovable whitaker men and some of the great character from jewels cafe that ties in to eash book.
Calluna who owns the pet store in Silver Springs is on a mission! There is someone who is cursing animals with black magic. So she is doing her best to help them when they show up in her store. Her friend Lars convinces her to live her life and go out. She is always trying to help these animals but doesn’t do anything herself. However, she is keeping a secret about herself. So she finally goes out and meets Landyn. Whoa was that hot!! Like scorching, however it was one night. Then she meets Rhett and Damian one night and not in a nice or fun way. She also notices that there is a store in Silver Springs that deals in dark magic? Does this have anything to do with the cursed animals? She also meets Elias outside that store and that meeting was interesting. During all this time she reads Love Blooms and thats when she notices the bond with all these guys. Obviously, you cannot control who your fated mate is. There is a lot of mystery, suspense and scorching hot times through out this book. Everything that happens didn’t come easy but we do get a happily ever after. You will definitely love this installment of the spell library series.
I have been following the Silver Springs series and absolutely loved this installment. Calluna is a sassy, curvey, caring with a hint of dark magic lady in her 30’s. She runs the pet store with her ultra sexy but unavailable as he is gay best friend. She is battling to save animals that have been cursed with dark magic.
I love the interactions with her men – This installment has a good storey but also has a lot of heat and sizzle action, Wonderful diverse characters , lots of twists and turns, Once you start reading you wont be able to put this brilliant book down.
I love this series! It is such an amazing mix of characters, and this book is no exception. I love Calluna. She has such a good heart in trying to help all the cursed animals. She fights for what she wants and who she loves. Her guys are an interesting mix, and I love the established relationship between Rhett and Damian. That was an interesting twist and really added to the story. I cannot wait to see what happens next in this shared universe.
Luscious and loving it!
Calluna is a hoot! I loved her chemistry with her men, and how she “collected” each of the. The MM interaction between Rhett and Damian is hot as sin, and Landyn and Elias are pretty fly all on their own. I’m loving the Silver Springs world and all the fun interactions with characters from the other books.
I really loved this book! It is an awesome addition to this series! I love Calluna and all the guys, including bff Lars! The storyline is fantastic and will keep you reading through the night. I am really hoping that there will be a second book. I would most definitely recommend this book!
I’m always loving books were a curvy main character gets seen in a positive light and finds her Happy Ever After with her mates.
Calluna is a wonderful, sassy and funny character that I enjoyed meeting very much. All of these Silver Springs books are hilarious and warm my heart. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Where can I find me some Silver Springs hotties??????
Calluna is my favorite story so far! She is so sassy and snarky. She owns the pet store in Silver Springs and she is known for helping cursed animals in the town. I love the unique relationships that make up her harem. This is a smoking hot must read!
Jewels gave us another incredible plus sized heroine and an extremely steamy story! As an animal lover, I would have to say that they were the best part of the book with all of their quirks after being uncursed. This book was filled with darkness, mystery, and tons of pets.
Calluna is honestly the best- snarky, confident in her own skin, and a huge animal lover with her own pet store, Beastie Besties. Lars had to be my favorite character with his upbeat, humorous, and loving personality. Out of her guys I think I liked Landyn and his troubled past the best. Damien and Rhett were equal for me and they make each other whole while Elias gave up the most to be with her.
The steam was turned all the way up and the mystery of the cursed animals kept me intrigued along with the twists and turns. There is a trigger warning for animal cruelty, but it isn’t done by any of the main characters. I loved seeing Rose and everyone at Vee again and I can’t wait for more of Jewels’ characters in the future!
Christine did a great job with this narration. She brought Calluna’s snark to life and all of the steamy scenes. It was easy to tell who was narrating each chapter whether it was Calluna or one of her men. I liked that the male voices weren’t forced and that the Spanish wasn’t butchered because in all honesty I probably would’ve done it.
Sometimes it happens. You start a book in the morning, convinced that you will easily be able to finish it during the day and then all of a sudden everyone at works needs you. I was contemplating to finish reading this ARC tomorrow, but once I picked up where I left this morning I had a really hard time quitting. Which is probably saying a lot about the book and story.
Calluna is a wonderful main character. It’s easy to like her and to understand what she’s going through and facing. What I found really refreshing is that she clearly loves her curves and body. There’s no insecurity there. She’s hot and she knows it. There are not many big girls like that in books. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t know shame, because it seems she doesn’t like crying and feeling emotional. I guess that only makes her more endearing.
However, although Calluna and her men were really interesting and although I liked it that they took the time to bond and spend time together, I had the feeling that the plot was only given a backseat. A few times I caught myself wishing we’d get back to the mystery of the cursed animals instead of reading another sex scene. The finale did make up for all the waiting, though. When all the pieces of the puzzle clicked it was epic and filled with loads of action AND an opening for another book and more story.
The guys also made up for the plot taking a backseat. All four of Calluna’s guys were very different and unique. Not only because they were different species, but also because Arthur really managed to give them all a different personality. When it comes to Calluna they’re all protective and caring, but they also have their own unique ways of loving her or telling her that they love her. I would love to read more about them, their dynamic and the challenges they will without a doubt face.
And I can’t wait to read the next book in the series! Dahlia seems like a really interesting character and I can’t wait to get to know them better!
I loved this book. The story is hot and has action, mystery and of course romance. Calluna is happy with her self esteem and body image which is so rare to see. I love how the guys spoil her. I’m loving this shared world and Jewels Arthur has written a brilliant and entertaining story.
Calluna is the feisty owner of the Beastie Besties pet store. She is also a Changeling which has its benefits when things start to turn crazy in town and someone starts using black magic on the local animals and sometimes shifters. Adding in some more crazy is the fact four different type of sexy men each claim her as their mate. Is it the book that someone gave her the reason for the heat?
Read to find out if Calluna can stop the evil of darkness, deal with the sexy mates and save the town of what will make you say “that didn’t just happened.” Expect the craziness of the mating call, the evil darkness and the hilarity of friendships.
What a fun story…I don’t know how Jewels Arthur does it…she writes with amazing humor and steam. the most beautiful characters and in this supernatural town! Calluna is big and beautiful in both body and hart! I love that she has so many mates! and they all worship her…such a great book! I would recommend it to all my friends and anyone who loves paranormal reverse harem romance!
“OMG this story was absolutely fantastic! I fall in love with each one of them. We had a great plot with mystery and secrets plus dark magic. Though the part of the animals broke my heart but it was indeed an amazing story. Elias was absolutely adorable and I must confess his Spanish was beautiful and all those words he told Calluna had me falling hard for him. Damian and Rhett… sweet s*n… they were insanely hot like my kindle almost burned out with the together and trust me that’s huge cause I don’t usually go for RHs with M/M plus they were so sweet like over the top romantic and loved them from the very beginning. Lyn was way more complicated but considering his past that was painful I understood why he was reluctant to the mate bond. They were pure perfection and having pieces of their minds too was priceless so yes you can expect multiple POV. Calluna was a great FMC too with a sassy attitude and rocked the self steam value! I was expecting a character with no high self confidence but surprisingly she wasn’t. Huge points for that! Totally in love with Calluna and her men. The story end on a HFN but don’t worry it was a good ending for now. If you like RH, rom-com and hot guys this one is for you. Spicy scenes guaranteed that had me blushing.”
I enjoyed this book so much. I don’t always read this genre but something about the way Jewels story’s just pull me in everytime.This one was no different! It’s full of suspense, heat and danger. You will definitely want to check this one out. I can’t wait for more!!!
