Soul Mates Kiss

Witching Call #1

by Sandra Ross

Iliana Ravensworth was a reluctant but powerful witch while Marcus Swan was an orphan who knew there was something different about him but didn't know about his warlock bloodline.

And Iliana was about to find him so she could bring him to the Council of magical beings where he could be educated about his powers. Although she did not regularly mingle with other covens or witches except her mother, she has no choice but to follow this directive.

So she went to New Orleans to find this Marcus and hopefully be back to New York on her birthday in Samhain. But the weather did not permit her to leave after finding Marcus and his awesome castle. He was not what she expected--handsome, young, filthy rich and obviously drawn to her, too. And on the eve of Samhain, they shared a kiss.

And that first explosive kiss revealed everything.

About the author

I am a prolific reader and a freelance writer. As a little girl, I always knew I would write romance. Growing up with a firsthand romantic experience, I expanded my preferences from just romance to romance with a dash of now trending sub-genres--paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi, and even erotica.

I love challenging myself and I would write on a dare!

I have been trying to read more adult romance novels, especially ones with a more paranormal/fantasy aspect to them. So when I came across Soul Mates Kiss: Witching Call Part 1 I thought I would give it a try. This book was not for me. The description of two soul mates (Lola and Marcus) finding each other and also one being a witch while the other is a warlock seemed interesting. However, the very short story was more of a rushed erotica romance and did not encompass enough emotional connection for me which is the case with many erotica romances. I have tried to read more of these trying to grasp an understanding of this genre and yet I often find myself thinking that the passion in the story isn't intense enough. I mean if you have ever had the chance to hook up with someone who was extremely attractive and after talking to them for a little bit found that neither of you could hold back any longer so you end up giving in to either a beginning of a romance or a really hot one night stand....well then you know how intense it is and that there is eye contact, physical bliss, a timid shakiness, need for more than you can actually obtain and to top it off your mind is racing so fast that your emotions and thoughts can even register most of the time. While reading this I just felt the characters met had sex and poof all was revealed and they were destined. It could have been better developed (both plot and characters). Also the dialogue could have been better. I almost thought that Marcus sounded like a regency era character in a line or two.
Well now I am off to read more in my quest to read all genres available! This is quite a challenge and one I have come to enjoy!

This was a short quick read that I wish was longer. Lola is a witch living in the human world with her father. Her mother who is also a witch ask her to help find Marcus and bring him to the council. Marcus Swan was an orphan who knew there was something different about him but didn't know about his warlock bloodline.I liked both of these characters but this book had a few issues. The first one was it says that this book is 68 pages but it seems like it ended at 40 or 50 pages. The second was that this book had a lot of typos and errors in it.

This review was first posted on my book review blog The Purple Booker

I was closing out 2016 I was trying to read shorter stories that had been on my TBR pile for a while. This was another short freebie and I thought it would be fun. I really find myself enjoying paranormal romance more lately. So this book looked like it would be a hit for me on every side. Sadly, I was left wanting. The biggest problem with this book is that it is way too short for any real development, and it really does not deal with the paranormal much it is more of a standard Erotica.

The premise of the book is great, two characters bound together and trying to find one another, one a witch the other a warlock. All the ingredients were once again in place, but they just did not seem to come together to make the yummy dish I was hoping for. Sadly, that seemed to be how I was destined to finish my 2016 reading. While I understand this book was meant to be short, even shorter books can make things come together. I wish the writers of these shorter books would give it a little more of a try, make the books a little longer and give the characters a little more time to develop. Overall, it just seems to be a wham bam thank you ma'am situation. They meet they are in bed and that is pretty much the end of it. This book gets two instead of 1 because I did feel there was a huge amount of potential there and I really wanted it all to come together well. Sadly, it didn't, but it was a freebie so I can't complain too much.

This was pretty good. I liked the emotions, the steamy scene, the family, and the characters. I am looking forward to reading more in this series. This was written well and pulled me in. I would read this again. This is interesting and short enough to read in a (good) sitting. A good anytime read. Enjoy

I am going to give this 3.5 I liked this book it has a Harry potter with adult content feel. I can't wait to read the next book.

[Tara Adler · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick

I do enjoy a book that can be read so quick. Marcus and Lola seem like a perfect compliment to each other. Which given they are soulmates that works.But simply their kiss unlocked past lives then it turns out Marcus can't remember his current life well now I'm confused. I think I'd have to read more of the books to really understand it.

Needs a better editor.

Interesting story, but grammar was distracting. I think the included story of Erick Angell was better edited. I could see this being a compell8ng series with the right editor.

Soul Mates Kiss

This book was really well written and was fast paced. I really enjoyed the story and the surprise ending. I love stories about witches and this one was very good.

[Linda Reece · Rating 2 out of 5]

Another short story

[JWinter · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not bad but not for me.

[Jennifer Alvarez]

Good stuff

A very sweet and very short PNR novella. I wasn’t sure where the story was heading but was super happy for the HEA ending.

[Lauren · Rating 1 out of 5]

Aaargghh... this was bad!
I wont be reading anymore in this series. There was no story or detail and it just lacked any development what so ever. I’m out. Sorry.

[Melissa Levine · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was alright for such a short story. A few questions/comments I have though:

1. Why at 24/25 was Lola still living with her father?

2. When she's talking to her mother, about her mother and her father talking to each other, she says that it's none of her business. ? How is that? They're both her parents still, both involved in her life. How would that not concern her, hence be a part of her business?

3. Why did Lola make a big deal about staying at Marcus's house during the storm? It's like she asks if he wants to go to NY with her, he says no and she's ready to leave? The corny thing is that Marcus knows she doesn't want to stay and thinks it could be because he smells? Really? That just seemed like a really stupid reason, like that would have been the last thing on his mind. They are basically strangers here.

4. So Marcus shows Lola to her room and somehow the fire in the fireplace is already going. How is that possible? The housekeeper is gone and it's not like he knew Lola would be coming and staying the night. I can't imagine he naturally keeps all the fires going throughout his mansion.

5. Lastly a few words: Pleasure core....Pleasure cleft...Pleasure button and Pleasure slit... ? Really? haha That was the best the author could come up with?

All in all, it was a cute. Didn't really make me want to read the next in the series though. The writing seemed to me, like the author is just starting out, like they haven't been writing very long.

[Heather Wiese · Rating 2 out of 5]

Novella.

There wasn't a whole lot to this one.

Lola works for a publishing company in NY but her roots are magical (her mother is witch). She doesn't want to be involved in the magical society, so she mostly avoids it until her mother is sent my the Council to give her a job. Lola doesn't want to but if the Council requests something of you, you can't really say no. I guess they are like the Mafia like that. The Council has identified a powerful warlock in Louisiana and they want her to bring him in.

So Lola heads off the Louisiana to try and bring this guy in. Marcus is a business man who grew up in foster care and so knows nothing about his magical heritage. He just knows that he can see the future and has become very rich making wise investments.

When Lola reaches his house it's in the middle of a storm and then because of flooding she's stuck there. They have an instant attraction to each other and sleep together the first night (the author really needed to come up with another descriptor besides "pleasure"). As soon as they sleep together they both have visions of all of their past lives and they realize they have been soulmates through the ages.

The end.

Story was so short it felt rushed.


Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...

1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.

2 stars... This book was not very good, and I won't be reading any more from the author.

3 stars... This book was ok, but I won't go out of my way to read more, But if I find another book by the author for under a dollar I'd pick it up.

4 stars... I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be on the look out to pick up more from the series/author.

5 stars... I loved this book! It had earned a permanent home in my collection and I'll be picking up the rest of the series and other books from the author ASAP.

Not really a cliffhanger but it was close.This was a neat story and a start to a promising little series. Lola is about to turn 25 on Oct 31, but her plans change after a little meeting with her mother, a witch spy for a council of magical beings. After living with her father and away from her magical side of problems her mother has to give Lola a mission of sorts and Lola didnt want to but had no choice. Marcus became into his power but he doesnt know about it yet. After showing up to Marcus mansion and is stuck there because of a very bad storm that happens to be caused but a group of witches to make sure Lola convince Marcus to come to New York so the counsel can talk to him. Now there is a very big and special surprise that is in wait for Marcus and Lola to find out.

[Lynn Clark · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was a too easy jip! From the sounds of the introduction, this book was going to be something else entirely. I read this book completely within maybe 4 hrs! The meet cute was too easy, within 24 hrs of meeting each other the knew their entire history and were spouting 'my loves' in every direction. Everything in this book was too easily accomplished and too easily seen through, which is why I give this only one star. I'm not even going to bother to read anymore in this series even though the introduction to the second book sounds very enticing.. I'm good!

[Elizabeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lola comes from a long line of witches, and has spent her life living among the human world because that's where she feels she is needed. caught between two parents that are still in love, but choose different paths in their lives, Lola is seeking meaning. I loved lola, and also loved the whole arc and story line. I wish there was more of a story beyond this novella so that I could see where the two of them end up. They seem like characters that will change the world :).
definitely worth the free nook download

[Sharon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Soul Mates Kiss started off interesting and it was a very quick & easy read. However it was too quick of a read. There needed to be more plot development in this story. If frustrated me as a reader to be thrown so quickly to the climax of the story and then it just ended as quickly as it began. The basis of the story was good, I just wish there was more to the story. I am on the fence if I will read the second book in this series or not simply because I don't want to experience the same feelings of frustration as a reader.

[Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

What if you were lucky enough to find your soulmate in every lifetime you lived?

For Marcus and Lola, it doesn't seem that way.

Lola is a witch, but she also lives in the human realm with her father. She works for a editing service and only uses magic one in a while. When she is called to do a job for the magic council, she refuses but really has no choice in the matter.

Marcus has no clue what he is, but he used his weird power to become rich. Once he did, he became isolated...until Lola.

[Natacha Lalande · Rating 4 out of 5]

from the start the way its written you almost start to wonder if its not gonna turn to incest. The way she talks to her father, is not how i would talk to mine at all lol. Thankfully it doesn't turn to incest, phew.

I actually really liked that book, it's readable pretty fast but enough story for part 1. I liked the blue orb moment, was pretty cool. I'm curious about the rest of the story, i will ahve to get the other books one day.

[Gloria · Rating 1 out of 5]

A very short story that doesn't really draw your interest. It is more like a very long prologue than a story. It was free on my Kindle so I downloaded it. It seems that to read an actual story you will have to buy parts 2 - 4. I may (or may not) pay the $3 for part 2 to eee if it's worth anymore of my time for the whole series.

[Elizabeth (Stuffed Shelves) · Rating 1 out of 5]

Unfortunately this book was poorly written. The plot was intriguing, and I would have enjoyed it so much more if it weren't for the poor grammar and spelling. It was almost as if it were translated wrong from a different language. It's a short read, so I feel there should be no excuse to these errors. I give this book a 1/5.

[Jacquelyn Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story have witches and other magical beings. Lola had an important task to find Marcuc Swan and bring him to the Council. She went to New York and that when everything goes wrong.

This book is an easy to read with a lot of passion, sometime funny, with a touch of sexy.

[Teresa · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was okay. I liked the story line, but didn't care at all that the 2 Characters DOING IT all the time.
If it hadn't had all the Sex, it would've been better.
I'll give it a
2 just for the Sex's sake. I would've Rated the Book higher if it had less Sex in the Book. That's all I can give it.

[Alyce · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was renamed A Witch's Mission and the characters renamed. It was a short read and could definitely do with some editing. Put all the little books in this series together, do some extreme editing and this full length novel has the potential to be a good read.

[Louise · Rating 3 out of 5]

Enjoyable characters. Soul mates find each other for A quick hot start to the series? As I enjoyed this read I feel something was missing? Not sure what? I will eventually read the rest of the series to see how everything plays out.

[Kristy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Overall OK book, it was a short story and wasn't all that involved, either so I will not be reading the ones that come after this but it was interesting idea but not very well executed at all.

[Greymalkin · Rating 1 out of 5]

Uninteresting characters and an unbelievable "romance". The magic thing was not convincing or particularly well thought out.

[Mammatess · Rating 3 out of 5]
