Moonlit Mirage – A Cook Islands Romance was a great 5 star read and part of the Moonlit Destination series.
I was pulled in right from the beginning with Cade’s accident and being saved by a woman he considered his Angel. She stayed with him under water until help came making sure he had air, then she vanished. Nadia took a big risk helping Cade.
We jump ahead a few years and Cade and Nadia come face to face again. Cade recognizes Nadia from the accident, he is immediately drawn to her. They both feel the attraction and decide to go with it. Nadia is taking a big risk but she’s willing to chance it.
What will happen if Cade discovers her secret?
Overall I really enjoyed this book. You get suspense, excitement, romance and so much more. Amy pulls you in with her writing, you feel like you’re right there with the characters. This can be read as a stand alone. I’m looking forward to reading more from this series. 1-click and get started today.
An Interesting start to a series with tie ins from another series by the same author. It was a nice read with just the right amount of romance and Suspense. One thing i did really enjoy about reading this though was the fact that it is a stand alone as well as part of a group of stories. Those are always the best. It was really interesting and I loved Cade, and Nadia and the trials they went through. Excellent story and I look forward to more from Amy McKinley.
Cade and Nadia meet in some circumstances a couple of years later they find each other again. Cade why did Nadia do what she did why didn’t she stay. There is a connection between these two characters. Action, drama and supsnse all filled into a small Novella its definitely worth a read.
Amy McKinley is becoming one of my go-to stand out authors! She continues to create reads that captivate you and bring you along on her characters journeys. While this is a quick read it doesn’t lack in anything its full to the brim with romance, steaminess, suspense & action! This is a fast-paced read that flows effortlessly and is well developed with amazing characters and a storyline that draws you in from the very beginning. I can’t wait to read more from this series and this author!

This was my first time ever reading a novella book. I didn’t know what to expect all I could think of was a soap opera but in book form. I read this book and all I can say is Now I think I’m hooked! Even though it was a short read from the beginning it took off and the story line was so vivid and detailed. Yet the way the storyline was written it still kept me on the edge of my seat imagining what’s going to happen next. If you love romance novels or suspense. There is something for everyone in this book. I instantly fell in love with Cade and rooting for him to win Nadia’s heart. Did she take that chance? Did this Novella have that happy ending or did a secret from the past crash this Love affair ? I’ll let you read and find out.

4 of 5 Stars
As a fan of Amy McKinley’s ‘Gray Ghost’ series I was looking forward to this first book in her new ‘Moonlit Destination’ series and this novel definitely did not disappoint. A fairly short book at only 80 pages it is packed full of action and has a great storyline. Nadia Bennett has Cade Malone under surveillance when she acts against her orders and rescues him when he has a car accident. They both share a once in a lifetime connection but although the chemistry between the two is instant and reciprocated due to the reasons why Nadia was there at the time, saving him will have to do and she has to walk away. However Cade never forgets the ‘underwater angel’ who saved him all those years ago and so when a chance encounter under the moonlight brings the couple together again he is determined not to let her get away this time. Nadia also recognises their chemistry and can not walk away again and so risks everything to be with him, unfortunately a dark secret from her past could destroy their relationship.
This novel had me gripped from page one and I could not put it down, full of adventure, excitement, suspense, past secrets and romance it is a fast paced read, all with the breathtaking Cook Islands as it’s backdrop. The author takes you on an emotional rollercoaster but thankfully it does have a happy ever after ending. For readers of the ‘Gray Ghost’ novels there is a crossover between the books however you do not need to have read them to enjoy this book. I look forward to reading further books in this series by Amy McKinley.
Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) Starting off by saving the life of a man named Cade after his car is run of a bridge, Nadia’s life changed, it was no accident she happened to be in the right place at the right time. Five years later. Nadia and Cade cross paths again, only this time she doesn’t disappear into the night. Although a short read it’s packed with suspense, I throughly enjoyed reading this story and am glad I have found a fab new author to follow. Great read five stars.

5 stars
Oh my god I absolutely LOVED this book!! Amy McKinley is one of my favourite authors so I was really excited to read this from her and it was everything I would expect from one of her novels! It may have only been a short read but it was jam packed full of story! The action started out straight away for Cade and Nadia – the main characters and I fell in love with them both straight away! I also loved that there was a little cross over between this book and the Gray Ghost series – but even if you haven’t read those it will not matter this story is amazing as a standalone! (I wholly recommend the other series though also!) Some great twists and turns in the story meant I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through – and for a short story, as mentioned earlier, I think that the author did an amazing job of creating such an exciting read!
After a car accident forces Cade off a bridge, underwater angel Nadia saves his life. When Nadia disappears after the rescue Cade fears he won’t find her again.
Moonlit Mirage is an exciting story that kept me hooked from the very start. The author packs a lot into this short story, and I absolutely loved the characters of Cade and Nadia, they have a strong connection from the very beginning. There are some unexpected twists and turns throughout which make you want to keep on reading.
I would love a follow up book to explore the characters more as they both have much more to give.
If you are looking for a short story to devour in one sitting , I would definitely recommend this.
Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley is a quick read novella introducing Nadia and Cade. The story starts with Nadia rescuing Cade from drowning after a car accident, but she is not there by coincidence. Five years later their paths cross again by chance and the connections that they felt is rekindled but there are secrets that are bound to come to light. I read this book really quickly as I was really looking forward to finding out more of Nadia’s past. I hope that there is a follow up to this book to learn more about the characters history and how this is going to present challenges to their future. This is the first book I have read by this author but will definitely be looking at her other works.

This book had me hooked from the beginning!! Even though this is a shorter read it still has everything from, romance, suspense, twists and turns, and let’s not forget the wonderful characters. When Cade was in a car accident one night and was saved by Nadia he couldn’t get her out of his head. Nadia felt the connection between them as well and she risked everything by saving him. Nadia has a secret from her past that might jeopardize a chance at a relationship these two might be able to pursue after running into each other years later. This is a must read if you want to find out what happens between these two. This author is an exceptional writer and I always look forward to reading anything and everything she puts out. I can’t wait to read the next book. I highly recommend this book.
