Publisher's summary

Ellie

I was ready for love and had the means to bring it my way, so why not? One little love spell couldn’t hurt me. Only, the man who answered my call into the fates wasn’t the one I was looking for. Don’t get me wrong, the fates seem to know what I like to look at in a man, but that’s it. What’s worse is, I think I may have missed my chance at true love while I was distracted with this loser.

Mateo

Ellie literally fell into my world in a pharmacy parking lot. When I set her back on her feet, I knew nothing would be the same. After talking with my cousins, also my business partners and mountain lion clan mates, they all felt a surge of something and an urge to go to the pharmacy. It was like she drew us in. Once we meet her, there’s no denying that our shared attraction for her isn’t normal. Could this be a rare shared fated mate? As we try to find an answer, we still have to find a way to deal with this jerk following her around. But when he turns out to be more dangerous than we could imagine, more than just love is at stake, it’s the very life of the woman we all love.

Reverse Harem

I enjoyed this storyline and dynamics between all the characters. I would live a short snippet about their lives 10 years down the road.

Kinda Childish

This could of been a good story but whew she was so childish and didn't seem to smart.. It actually ruined it for me.. She could have been good if she was stronger and smarter.. I'm sorry but this is just my view of it and I'm disappointed.. And she sounded like a broken record over her spell and the fates.. I didn't think I'd get through it whew!

Desired but not the best reader

A good tale overall with drama and action! I enjoyed the interaction and interplay between the 4 men and our heroine and the bad guy made for an interesting byplay in the tale!
The Narrator, while having different 'voices' for each character, does not, in my opinion, have the right kind of voice for this kind of tale. I found her kind of grating but since I was enjoying the tale persevered with the listen!

When a witch has trouble dating, she uses a spell

Listened to audio narrated by Kiya Embry. Sometimes the words were very clipped, I prefer a more flowing narration. There were also some audio editing problems where the sound would be very noticeably different for a few words.

Ellie's a realtor and a witch, when dating fails her she turns to magic to draw her soulmate to her, with unexpected results. Afterwards she looks at every man as if he might be the one. She's confused as she finds herself drawn to more than one man, one of them is dangerous to her, the others she can't choose between.

Mateo, Javier, Emiliano, and Alejandro are puma shifters and private investigators, each of them find themselves drawn to Ellie and are amazed to discover she's their one true mate to share.
While Ellie takes turns getting to know each of the men, she finds she can't choose and thankfully the boys find a way to show her they are happy to share her, while protecting her from her stalker.

An okay read, I liked how the author handled Ellie's confusion about being attracted to more than one man, although it was confusing when she kept using different terms to describe the shifters. Sometimes they were referred to as just lions, then pumas, then mountain lions, while I know they can be used interchangeable it could be very confusing for a reader. I hated that she ignored so many obvious clues about Dixon being a loser and still gave him additional chances and I wished we'd had more time seeing the relationships between all the guys, it felt like it was just the tip of the iceberg.

I received a free copy of this book and I'm voluntarily leaving a review. If you like my reviews I can be found at wordpress under wyldheartreads.

A witch, a spell, unexpected results

I own this ebook but I listened to the audio version which was gifted to me by the author. Ellie is a witch who is tired of the dating scene and decides to perform a little magic to help her find the one who is meant for her. Trusting in the magic she thinks the guy she meets at the at the coffee shop must be him, but she is not feeling the expected tingle. On the other hand, the guy who saves her life has her attention, but he is gone with only a brief introduction. When he turns up with three other hotties at a bar where the first guy has taken her, and where she is having a terrible first date, she finds herself interested in all four of them.

Matteo and his "cousins" are puma shifters. They are all drawn towards a certain drug store one day and Matteo is the one who responds fast enough to save Ellie. They realize that she is their mate, but how do they get her to give them a chance? When they show up in time to save her from an attack by her "boyfriend" she is grateful, and turned on. But it is not over yet.

sweet

this story was sweet true love wins the day the characters are good they have great hearts

Horrible narrator

I don’t know who decides which narrator will work on these projects (author, publisher, etc), but for the love of all that is holy, PLEASE hire a narrator that knows how to pronounce common words and phrases! And if any narrators see this, PLEASE look up the pronunciations of things you are unsure of. The only reason this performance didn’t get a 1 star is because t the very least her voice wasn’t monotone.

Meh...

I will download the audiobook to book I am reading on my Kindle. I will sometimes give the MC a voice in my head as I go back and forth. The story was different and a little rushed but what bothered me the most was the narration. The voices were horrible. I wasn’t sure who was talking have the time. The male MC voices were so weak it make the MC feel more like kitty cats and Panther shifters. I may read another book my author but will not listen to another one by the narrator. Sorry.

Fated Mate Romance

Great menage romance, not crazy dirty it's just right hot alpha males loving their woman.
She's a witch looking for love, she may have gotten more then she planned.
Well done on the reading Kiya.
