The world is changing. Evil forces are at play. Can the Light Bearer claim what is rightfully hers before it’s too late?
Drama much? People and their crazy notions. Sure, I’m aware that changes are to be made on Planet Earth. We’ve all got to do our part. But Light Bearer and saving the world? Who are we kidding? That’s not me. I’ve got more important matters to tend to, like drop-kicking my … matters to tend to, like drop-kicking my loser boyfriend.
I’ve got to meet someone new. When a new delivery guy rolls into my driveway, there’s more spinning than the wheels of his van. My mind starts to whirl. My body starts to zing. And, later, when I see the earth split outside of his home, revealing horrible darkness, well…it’s evident I’ve been spending way too much time alone with my dog.
It soon becomes apparent I’ve got a whole lot of catching up to do and magic to master. I’m just not sure if I’m cut out for the job. Those lunatics who think I’m a Bearer of Light and badass warrior princess have other ideas. When I find myself in more danger than I can possibly deal with, comprehend or even dream of, I might, repeat, might, want to listen to them.
The Beckoning of Beautiful Things continues the one woman and too many delicious men to choose from romantic adventure.

This is another awesome book by Calinda B. The Beckoning Series is a great series so far and I can’t wait for the next book. This book has action, adventure, and some romance. The characters, like the last book, are well developed and complex. The story world is great and the writing is smooth and flowing. I highly recommend this book!
This book is entertaining, action packed and thoroughly enjoyable. The chemistry between the characters is wonderful. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Going into this one I quickly remember that this character Marissa caught my attention in the previous one which she does the same in this one also. Then there is Daniel also that is very much part of this. The humor that rolls off of Marissa too especially where it concerns the Light Bearer and saving the world. But it is not a joke as thing start to snap crackle and pop. Danger will be her new awareness that she is in. Lets not forget the crazies in this too. This is one tale that will continue to weave its magic around us keeping us flipping those pages.
Calinda B is a fave author, and it’s stories like those in her The Beckoning Series that shie why. Certainly The Beckoning of Beautiful Things (Book 2) does. Well written, with a great plot, a perfect cast from Marissa and Daniel on down and perfect world-building. Also totally fun. Poor Marissa. She just wants a life while a bunch of loonies think she is a Bearer of Light and badass warrior princess. I mean, c’mon! Too bad for her, but I think they’re right. Fun stuff, like I said. Exactly what I look for and easily worth five stars.
For honest review. This is a story of Melissa engles a artist when she meets Daniel navid a collecter and a night numan to balance \order he heeds the call . He thinks Marissa is a sorceress of light . While she breaks of her relationship with Jason Brown and after a night with Chris king now she is caste in to another strange world. Awesome
OMG, this book was just as good as the first one, It will keep you reading for hours. We have mystery, intrigue, love or maybe it’s hate. Marissa is confused about what is going on with her. She is confused on who she can trust. Are all these people real or is she living a dream? Who really is this Daniel guy? What’s happening with my dog? Can Marissa ever get rid of Jason? Who is this El Demonio and what does he want with me? Who really is Crazy Betty and Tom? Can Tom really train me? What is light and dark?
I loved this second installment of Marissa’s adventure. I can’t wait to see where her connection with Daniel the Night Numen goes. He is intense and determined and together they are quite the pair. I’m looking forward to watching Marissa come into her power and understand herself. Love this world Calinda has created!
A great read. I really like the World building of the book by the Author. And the characters were brought out great as well. The read grabs you right from the start. And keeps you interested, there is never a dull moment. This is a great read that I also loved the humor in the story as well. I definitely recommend this read.

A good continuation with twists, turns and pleanty of action. Marissa can be a frustrating lead in that at some points I want to scream put your big girl panties on and deal with it. Overall this is a interesting storyline and this book advances the story enough and laves you wanting more.
A great follow up to book 1 in the beckoning series. Calinda shows how frightening it can be to come into your own. The book has love, fear, and suspense.
The Beckoning of Beautiful Things (The Beckoning Series #2), was my twelfth read from author Calinda B. An enjoyable romantic suspense heavier on the romance less so on the suspense than the first book. I enjoy Calinda B.’s writing and I’ll be reading more by this author.

Marissa is back a year post the first story and wild things start to happen to her again. This time more of the story is spent on Marissa and Daniel then world building. It was quite funny watching Marissa and Daniel fall for each other. Marissa learns more about her family’s past as crazy things happen. I thought the story was well written and it made me laugh quite a few times. The ending was epic and funny at the same time. The story was steamy but not nasty in my eyes. Liked the magic/paranormal woven into the story too as it was different then the usual stories. I liked it as it was interesting enough that I read it in one sitting to see what would happen next.
