About this book

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the enchanting town where Halloween is a lifestyle and every resident has a secret. In this delightful paranormal romance, the supernatural world is just another day at the office, but for local bee-keeping witch Mattie Sharpe, life is about to get a lot more complicated.

Mattie has spent years cultivating a peaceful, independent existence focused on her thriving honey business. She has everything under control until a forest fire risk brings Gunnar Briggs, a stoic and grumpy bear shifter, onto her property. Gunnar is a man of few words who values territory and order, making him the perfect foil for the fiercely spirited witch. What begins as a professional clash quickly spirals into a classic grumpy-sunshine dynamic that neither of them can escape.

As the two navigate a series of sticky situations, they find themselves caught in a second-chance romance that is as dangerous as it is sweet. Whether you are a longtime fan of the Nocturne Falls series or a newcomer looking for a standalone escape, this story delivers the perfect blend of humor, magic, and undeniable chemistry. If you love witty banter and sizzling shifter tension, this charming tale is your next must-read.

First Impressions: I can't believe this is the 18th book in the series. Like most of the Nocturne Falls stories you can technically read these as standalones as every book is a new romance with a new couple, but I definitely think you will appreciate this store more if you have read the previous books, in particular one of the Jayne Frost (Nocturne Falls Spin off Cozy Mystery series), as this is where you first meet Blueberry, the imp that causes all the chaos in this one. General Review The...

Cute romance

I love Nocturne Falls books! They have romance, mystery, adventure, comedy; what's not to like? I also like that they're not explicit. I enjoy those, too, but not all the time. These are cute and sweet, like a little hit of happiness. Like puppies and kittens. I feel better after reading them. Thank you, Kristen. )
