Publisher's summary

She’s an empath who’s always prepared, but can she handle a supernatural storm of lies, temptation, and murder?

Toni Dusi grew up knowing everyone’s business and everyone knowing hers because in Moonstone Cove, you can’t pass a restaurant, farm, or winery that doesn’t have at least one Dusi involved. Despite her family, Toni has managed to carve out a private niche for herself. She has a car shop she loves, a country cottage all to herself, and has carefully avoided any long-term romantic commitments.

Then fate handed Toni a shot of supernatural empathy that threw all that out the window of her prized vintage Mustang.

Now she’s feeling the mood swings of everyone from her parts guy to her reluctant crush to her second cousin going through a messy divorce. She’s losing her temper, she’s crying a river, and she’s definitely giving in to temptation.

But when the body of a longtime family rival turns up at her cousin’s winery, Toni realizes her inconvenient feelings-magic has turned her into one heck of a lie detector. She and her new friends, Katherine and Megan, might be the only ones who can clear her cousin’s name.

When fate throws a final curveball in Toni’s direction, will she drop everything with disastrous consequences? Or can a forty-one-year-old empath learn enough new tricks to keep the life she’s built without sacrificing new happiness?

Fate Actually is a paranormal women’s fiction novel and the second book in the Moonstone Cove series by USA Today best-selling author Elizabeth Hunter.

Loved it...

I've really enjoyed the second book. Paranormal abilities, friendship, romance, and danger are quite the combination. I cant wait for the 3rd book.

you can give a good book ten stars.... you

Read it twice!! Only thing! I've got to wait and get the whole series or at least wait for first three are out.

Wonderful story, great listen even. second time!
Ava ,(my horse is named Ava), is top-notch for narrator. Love her voices. you have no problem keeping up with
who's talking and how the character is feeling! Great job Ava ! As usual!

Thanks Kaye

Wounderful Story, Enjoyed Immensely!!

This second book In this Series was just a Wounderful read/listen and fun in parts. MC Being pregnant in her 40s is also amusing and realistic. The Narrator once again did a Great job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline. Highly Recommend

This author has a bead on my funny bone

I absolutely laughed out loud at some of the antics in this book. I was in a bad mood and needed a distraction, and the irritable and yet empathic heroine completely filled this need. I love this author and I am planning to work my way though all of her books. The narrator was great, too -- could deliver all of the lines with just the right amount of deadpan humor or malice needed. Loved the book.

Infatuated

I am infatuated by this series and the Glimmer Lake series. I Highly recommend both of these!

Murder & Romance in Wine Country

First I recommend you read the Gilmore Lake 3 book series in order before this series in order. (You will enjoy both series). This book is the second of a three book series. Involves 3 middle age women’s friendship and adventure. All three have different psychic powers and live in a small town. Each book focuses on one of the women. This book is centered around Toni. Toni, 42 and single, owns and works in an auto shop. And one day she meets a man that helps to change her life. I have enjoyed this book much more than the last. Good murder mystery, good romance (without all the heavy heated sex scenes) and plenty of suspense and a few laughs.

Wine, Love, independent Women

Toni has always been independent and tough having grown up in a big Italian family with mostly men. She finds herself with empathy absorbing other people's emotions. She can barely deal with her own, much less others. She ultimately finds herself in a predicament and has to depend on someone else. With the other 2 ladies, she continues to get into sometimes dangerous and sometimes hilarious situations while solving mysteries while keeping her new gifts a secret from her family and the police.
I love stories that make me laugh out loud and this one absolutely did!

Another great addition to series

Elizabeth Hunter has crafted another great addition to her series. Ava Lucas gave a great performance as she brought the story to life and gave each character had a distinct voice. I highly recommend this book/audiobook to cozy fiction fans.

Romance for More Mature Women

I very much enjoyed the Glimmer Lake trilogy that preceded this series, but I'm liking Moonstone Cove even more. The three women who are the center of this series are unique, strong, clever, and funny. I adored the couple in the first book, Runaway Fate, and enjoyed the forming of the couple in the current book as well. Ava Lucas brings these books to life with wonderful narration and adds to the experience. I'm eager to read the next book which will focus on the feisty Southern Bell of the series... fun all around!

Love this series

Henry and Toni are both great characters. Lots of laughs, drama and down right fun.
I really love that the males in Moonstone Cove and Glimmer Lake are not portrayed as A-Holes.
I love that there is a romance without it being Porn.

Elizabeth Hunter one of my favorite authors.

Ava Lucas is awesome too.
