Reader alert! If you're looking for...a love psychic heroine;a man in uniform;a soul mate connection;small town hijinks;the bonds of found family;a swoony beach romance...You've found the perfect book. Proceed with abandon.

Here’s the I’m a love psychic. I help people find their soul mate. I’m famous for it.

No, I haven’t looked for my own soul mate yet.

Do I believe in love? Absolutely.
Do I believe in happily ever after? With another person?? Well…

I’ve never believed my Forever included someone else—I have my parents’ wild divorce to thank for that.

Only I get called out on national television for not having a true love, so to stop the danger to my business, I devise a find my soul mate and go on a few dates with no expectations. Because I don’t really believe in Forever, remember? I can say I tried but it didn’t work out. My business is safe—and so is my heart.

Only when I meet him in the charming Gold Rush town where he’s the police chief, it’s totally love at first sight, like it should be with your soul mate.

For him, not so much.
Didn’t see that coming.

And that’s a dilemma, because maybe I DO want him to be my Forever. Except his wall is even taller than mine, and he’s determined to keep me—and love—out of his life.

What if I can’t convince him to give us a chance? It’s more than protecting my business now--my heart is at risk here. Thank goodness the entire town is determined to throw us together. Because failing to win his heart is SO not gonna happen.

Welcome to Rough and Ready, a small town with a notorious past, where the women are still sassy, the men are…well, rough and ready.

My Big Comeback Romance by Kate Perry was such a great and lovely read.

The author writing is good and engaging, the storyline is well paced, and the characters funny...this is the perfect recipe for a good read.

Juno and Adam didn't meet thanks to fate, because she is a psychic and she has seen their future together.

I have really enjoyed how these two soul mates come to meet. I think it would have been hard to accept that someone else has already seen your future, but Adam, albeit some reluctance, really tried to understand Juno since the beginning. Juno and Adam journey wasn't easy because they are two strong and thoughtful persons who have also suffered for love in the past. I liked how they opened up to each other, pushing each other’s buttons in a fun way, showing their true personalities, memories and feeilings.

I'm so glad I stumbled on this book, I loved it from start to end. I highly recommend to read it.

This was my first time reading this author, and let me just say—I’m hooked! From now on, I’ll read anything she writes.

So Honestly, when I saw the words “love psychic,” I thought it might be a bit too woo-woo for me, but I was so wrong! I ended up enjoying this story way more than I expected, and I devoured it.

Juno, a love psychic, has helped so many people find their soulmates but hasn’t found hers yet. That all changes after a New York Times article—and some prodding from her best friend—lead her to Rough and Ready, CA, where her soulmate lives. I instantly loved Juno’s character. Beyond her psychic abilities, she’s just so down-to-earth and genuine, building real friendships and helping people everywhere she goes. Every time someone approached her, I kept waiting for her to tell them when they’d meet their soulmate! And even though she wasn’t fully ready for love, she went after Adam with all the confidence in the world, since the universe declared him her soulmate.

Adam, on the other hand, had his life planned down to the last detail, including dating them marrying his co-worker Justin ex-wife Zoe, after he secured the chief of police position, by making the Hiram Burren treasure hunt successful. So when Juno walked into town and casually announced that he was her soulmate—in front of the whole town, no less—his world was turned upside down. For the first time, he started questioning his plans. The more I learned about Adam’s relationship with his ex-wife, the more I felt for him, and I was really rooting for him to open up to Juno.

Luckily, neither of them resisted their feelings for long, because their chemistry was on fire! I especially loved the scenes where it felt like they were communicating without words, as if they could read each other’s minds. And I couldn’t help but laugh when the entire town got involved, trying to push Adam and Juno together because like Mama Langford always said “Effing men.”

Last and overall I also loved the side characters, and I was pretty sure Alex’s story would be next. However, after reading Zoe’s chapter, I’m dying to know more about her! Thankfully, January isn’t too far away.

Kate Perry is the Queen of ROMANTIC COMEDY my ribs hurt from the constant giggles, and I’m pretty sure my jaw staged a dramatic exit halfway through! Kate Perry wrote a soulmate romance and she crafted a well-thought spectacular plot! Love doesn't arrive softly, sometimes crashes into your life, bringing instability glitter, and psychic forecasts, and you let it, because it's the form of love that seems like a comeback, not just over heartbreak, but also over fear. My Big Comeback Romance is steamy, entertaining, and unexpectedly soulful, hands down a MASTERPIECE from an outstanding writer like Kate Perry!!!
.
My Big Comeback Romance felt like fate veiled in paper and ink, the plot is entertaining, sharp, promising and full of delivering twists that had me turning the pages. Juno's arrival in Rough and Ready is about questioning everything she thought she knew about love, time, and her own heart, the plot meanders between comedy and crave with such beauty and elegance! Each twist unfurled with purpose, and every conversation was infused with the kind of intensity that only comes from knowing her characters inside and out!
.
The prose is utterly marvelous, every page had a natural reach while still carrying emotional overtones that made me pause, grin, and ache a little, Kate Perry writes with such elegance that you forget you're reading, you feel like Juno, your heart pounding as you catch Adam's lingering stares, relishing in the awkward small-town hindering, and absorbing the nuanced agony beneath his stoicism! The writing is lovely and entertaining, with moments that feel like sun-drenched captures to keep with you. I kept rereading phrases, not because I couldn't understand them, but because I couldn't stop experiencing them. The lyrical writing remains delicately on your heart and there are plenty sentences I highlighted that I will keep in my brain forever!
.
What astonished me most significantly was how well-structured the relationship was, it was about obstructions, timing, and everything unsaid. Adam is not a love interest you fall for right away; instead of he earns your heart one grumpy, troubled, golden retriever moment at a time, and Juno's heart is immense, chaotic, and soft in all the most powerful ways! Their slow-burn passion had a severe sense of inevitability about it, something universal, something meaningful, and the town was a magnificent ensemble of enchanting mayhem, expanding the tension in the love story!
.
My Big Comeback Romance is a rare book that reminds you why you fell in love with romance in the first place! The laughter, the excitement, the smouldering looks, the ridiculous (and perfect) meddling villagers, and the pain of two people who almost miss each other but don't. I cried, laughed, and underlined sentences like a hopeless romantic. I felt every word in this novel, and I'll be dreaming about Juno and Adam for a very long time, this is romance at its most elegant, hilarious, and beautifully perfect!!!

This was my first book by Kate Perry & let me tell you what- I will forever be a big fan and have her books on auto-buy from here on out!

She has such a talent and this book was so much more than I was expecting. It was a well rounded and entertaining romcom with characters that pull you in and have you rooting for them from the very beginning.

Adam is a planner and has things detailed down to the person he will marry, where they will live, and timelines of exactly how he plans for his life to be in this small mountain town.

Juno is a love psychic that is able to express who people’s soulmates are. She is a single woman and goes to the small town to meet the person she thinks is her soulmate. He is not as open to her as she had hoped and it makes for a very fun storyline.

This book has all the feelings. It is emotional. It’s sexy. The tension is on point. The banter was hilarious. It’s romantic. It was so heartfelt. This book has it all.

I also really enjoyed getting to know the side characters and have my fingers crossed for several of them getting their own book in The Rough & Ready Series.

Thanks to @hambright_pr & the author for the earc in return for my review 💖

My Big Comeback Romance was like falling into a rom-com dream, with just enough wit, develop, and spirit to keep me flying. Juno, a lively, crazy, and utterly charming love psychic, is this sort of heroine who revitalises every scene with her unashamed confidence and wild heart. The concept that she could find soulmates for everyone except herself was already delicious irony, but it was her unfailing belief in love despite everything that made me fall so hard for her. When she arrives at Rough and Ready, she brings more than just glitter and tarot cards; she also delivers emotional catharsis.
.
I loved how she wore her vulnerability like protection, smiling, deflecting, and beaming until Adam made her want to feel. Kate Perry's finesse in allowing Juno to fall, not only for a man, but for the possibility of forever, is magnificent. The first spark with Adam was a slow surrender.
.
Adam is a quiet, organised, and wounded in a way that hurts when he looks at her, as if she's a miracle and a catastrophe. He's been living between the lines, following a plan that has kept him secure and away from actual chaos, until Juno comes in like a tornado and breaks his outline in an excellent way. I felt every fibre of his opposition, but I also felt his yearning. He regarded her as if she were a mystery, terrifying and compelling him. The tension between them was acute from denial, yet behind it vibrated a connection that was hard to ignore.
.
This book has a richness that made it feel like home because of every meddling neighbour, every wink, and every whisper behind closed doors. The supporting characters were introduced in with such care and enchantment, and the small-town hijinks brought humour without ever losing heart. Silas brought utter happiness to every scene he was in. Also, the treasure hunt subplot, which was tied with Adam's ambition and the town's history, raised the stakes in a way that was not only entertaining but also shockingly riveting. Kate Perry manages such a fine line among the sentimental and the humorous, never blinking from the pain or going overboard with the humour.

MY BIG COMEBACK ROMANCE by Kate Perry is as fascinating as it is romantic, enchanting the heart and brain with mind-blowing perfectionism! This is a novel of two characters confronting the difficulties of emotional truth in a small town. Although Rough and Ready appears to be a normal small town, under the Author's control it becomes an examination of fate, free will, and community intervention—an environment that is carefully adjusted to defy all of the reader's preconceptions.
.
The novel is tremendously well-structured. The pace is accurate without losing emotional impact. Kate Perry brilliantly uses the dual POV format where each character's voice is unique, emotionally intelligent, and logical. Juno's confidence in fate and Adam's opposition to change are deliberately reflected, offering the book with an established emotional axis. You can feel the gears of their personalities grinding against one another, but the friction creates heat more than trouble.
.
Juno is written with a delicious contrast in mind, she knows things that others do not, but she remains emotionally vulnerable. Her confidence in love does not protect her from its unpredictability, which gives richness. She is optimistic, but not naive, her emotional intelligence, combined with a genuine sense of humour and self-deprecation, carries the story forward. Adam the MMC delivers an appropriate counterpoint. Grounded, sceptical, a guy dealing with public and private traumas. The Author resists making Adam the usual emotionally blocked male character; instead, Adam is capable of emotional logic but is nevertheless fearful of the consequence. His feeling of duty, as well as the external stakes associated with becoming the permanent Chief of Police, root the drama in a very real, concrete conflict.
.
This is an outstanding book because it acknowledges some important topics of romance. It's funny, delicious and most importantly, it is constructed. Love is the plot in the book, but intellect is the prose that really made wonders, Kate Perry has one of the best style of prose that melts your heart.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book as the author Kate is new to me. But from now on I will be one of the first buying any new releases, as wow this book was amazing!!

The book centres around Juno, a love psychic who helps other people find their soulmates, but when she is called out on TV for not having her own soulmate she sets out on an adventure to find him so she won't lose her business. All she wanted was a few dates and then to amicably part ways, as she really isn't looking for love right now... but that things didn't really go to plan once she met Adam, the Chief of Police of Rough and Ready, California.

Adam is reluctant when a random woman turns up and declares herself his soulmate and only wants a couple of dates from him. He lost his wife a few years ago and now all he wants to focus on is being a good Police Chief and successfully hosting the towns annual treasure hunt. But he finds her hard to resist and the more time they spend together the harder it is to deny that they have an amazing chemistry and could actually make things work.

The townsfolk of Rough and Ready scheming and conspiring to throw these two together is absolutely hilarious. Any small town romance is usual made successful due to all the nosy townspeople gossiping and being all up in the characters business, and this book did it so perfectly I fell in love with the whole town. Little Silas was so adorably cute, it was honestly such a pleasure to be introduced to all the characters and follow them throughout the story, and now I'm sad I can't immediately jump into the 2nd book in the series :(

Kate wrote Adam and Juno perfectly in my opinion, it was clear they had off the charts chemistry and were definitely soulmates. The whole story was 5/5 and I am so excited to keep reading more of this series when it come out and anything else Kate writes

Every page of MY BIG COMEBACK ROMANCE felt like a breath caught between fate and free will, and I held mine until the very last word! Kate Perry wrote heartache like poetry and then paired it with punchlines, longing, and the best spicy scenes that I highly enjoyed! Juno is the most chaotic, charming oracle of love I’ve ever met on the page, and I worship every word she spoke!!!
.
Let me set the scene. Juno, a quirky and lovable love psychic, arrives in the beautiful small town of Rough and Ready with one daring mission: discover the man she's seen in her visions. A man who, spoiler alert, isn't interested in love. Adam is the interim Chief of Police, and he has a very sturdy, very grounded plan for his future—one that absolutely does not include a soulmate or a psychic disturbing his meticulously organised setting.
.
Fire explodes as soon as these two meet paths, in the funniest, most delicious way possible. What I enjoyed most was how real it felt. The tension. The banter. Juno's open-hearted belief in destiny clashed with Adam's realistic character. It was magical. Truly magical. Kate Perry's writing is quite wonderful. Her style is engaging and vibrant with a great flow that relies you in and never lets go. The dialogue is rapid, witty, and heartfelt. Also we got to read from both of the main character's mind, so this is dual POV, I ate it up. It felt like I was spying on two real people as they struggled with fate, fear, and, perhaps for the first time, allowing love in.
.
This novel is comedy at its best, beautiful, and heartwarmingly romantic. I put my phone on mute because I didn't want anyone to stop me reading. I consumed it over the weekend and then wanted to live with it. Juno and Adam's love story is one that we all secretly wish we could be a part of. If you're looking for a romance that feels like a Hallmark movie, with a twist of fate, a dash of humour, and a huge spoonful of heart, My huge Comeback Romance is the book for you. 10 stars are not enough for this epic romance book!

This book was the cutest, sweetest, most heart wrenching thing I've read this month, and I'm not okay because I want to live in this story forever. My Big Comeback Romance by Kate Perry had me swirling in bed like a happy little romcom-obsessed kid with glitter in her eyes and a swoon-filled heart. A love psychic arrives to a small town to find her soulmate, who happens to be the interim Chief of Police, who is grumpy and attractive. It includes everything I adore about small town romance and makes it more adorable!
.
Juno is our FMC that realy has some of the most funny lines, she is humorous, unusual psychic, and so full of love and positive feelings. She felt like Phoebe from FRIENDS. And don't even get me started on Adam; the slow burn tension, the way he tries to resist her with his tough guy act while secretly being the softest cinnamon bun. I was dying every time they had a scene together because their banter was top-tier perfection and the tension was one spark away from full-fledged fire.
.
The town has such a beautiful and pretty setting. The small-town vibes were everywhere. The found ffamily spirit, the humorous side characters, and how everyone is involved in each other's lives in a loving, chaotic way. It felt like I was engulfed in a warm blanket of love, laughter, and a little drama, and I didn't want to leave. I am truly obsessed. I'll never get over how adorable this was. It's my new comfort read, and I'm officially in love. Kate Perry, thank you for giving my hopelessly passionate heart all it ever desired.

**Soul Mates**

I just finished "My Big Comeback Romance," the first book in the *Rough and Ready* series, and I’m so excited to dive into this journey! Previously, I started with the fifth book, so it’s been a fun treat to go back to the beginning with Juno and Adam.

From the little snippets I saw of their love story in "My Epic Love Disaster," I just knew I was going to be hooked! Juno is a sweetheart who loves helping people find their soulmates using her psychic abilities, but she wasn’t really looking for her own—until now. An article leads her right to Adam in Rough and Ready.

Adam is the complete opposite of Juno. He has his life meticulously planned out, from his promotion to chief of police to the woman he’s "meant" to marry—his coworker's ex-wife! But everything flips upside down when Juno confidently declares in front of the whole town that they are soulmates.

At first, Adam is a bit skeptical, but Juno is firm in her beliefs. Their chemistry is incredible, and you can really feel that they are meant to be together—after all, destiny is written in the stars! I couldn’t help but giggle and laugh as I raced through the pages. The banter between Juno and Adam was delightful, and I didn't want their story to end. Plus, the small-town vibes and found family feel were just heartwarming. I adored all the side characters who cheered Juno and Adam on!

I can’t wait to jump into the next book in the series! Happy reading!

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Kate Perry's My Big Comeback Romance is humorous, funny, it has heart, and is refreshingly original. We meet Juno, a love psychic, yes, you read that correctly!—who arrives in the brilliantly small town of Rough and Ready, after a vision she believes is taking her to her soulmate. But there's a twist: her soulmate, Adam, is the interim Chief of Police, and he's not delighted to be the subject of someone's mystical love prophecy. Especially not when the town's most important event of the year is on the line and his future rests on getting everything precisely right.
.
I was fascinated right away by the plot. but it's how it's executed that really stands out. Kate Perry's prose is tender, compelling, and funny. The conversation is full of personality, and the emotional roots feel quite authentic. I laughed. I swooned. I even shed a few tears because, honestly, these characters have so much heart.
.
The plot is fast-paced and easy to read (I finished it in one sitting), but it never loses sight of its emotional essence. There's humour, tension, and a steady flowering of affection that makes your heart pulse in the greatest way. It's one of those books that just makes you feel good—not in a foolish way, but in a way that points out that love can be messy and unpredictable, but it's always worth it. If you’re a fan of small-town settings, soulmate tropes, and stories that leave your heart full and happy… do yourself a favor and pick this one up.

My Big Comeback Romance is seriously the best. Juno is such a fun FMC to follow. She’s confident and chaotic, but she’s also got this soft spot she tries really hard to pretend isn’t there. Her whole plan to pretend to find love so the internet would ease up on her had me laughing because she clearly had no idea what she was walking into. And Adam... Oh, this man. He’s organized to the point of stress, stubborn for no reason, and way too determined to keep his life exactly the way it is. Which, of course, lasts about five minutes after Juno shows up.

Their relationship is a little bit awkward, yet sweet and spicy in a way that feels super believable. I loved watching Adam try so hard to keep his distance while his heart was basically doing cartwheels every time she smiled at him. And Juno trying to convince herself she wasn’t falling for him was just as fun.

The town of Rough and Ready definitely adds to this story, but not in an over-the-top way. It just feels perfect to live in. The traditions, the nosy locals who pretend they’re being subtle (though they’re not), and those random little interactions that make me feel like I've been hanging out there for years really makes the story so much fun.

I loved every single page of Juno and Adam figuring their stuff out and choosing each other. And yes, I’m always excited to see more of Rough and Ready and the characters in this series!

This is not just a funny, quirky, and passionate love story but also a 'how-to guide' to avoid the miscommunication trope and still write an engaging romcom.

This book really delivers on emotion! It's passionate, sensual, and the build-up is superb. The witty exchanges are amusing, plus it's both romantic and touching. The characters are well-developed, and the story keeps you engaged from beginning to end. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a heartwarming and feel-good romance.

I found the main characters to be quite engaging and thoroughly enjoyed following their captivating story as it unfolded. I was pleasantly surprised by the supporting characters, finding them to be equally enjoyable and memorable. I am also looking forward to some of these wonderful characters receiving their own individual stories within the engaging Rough & Ready Series.

My favorite part was that the small-town vibe and the found family tropes are wonderfully explored in the story, and they complement the overall vibe of this book. The meddlesome antics and the easy acceptance of our FMC from the whole town made this a smile-throughout-the-pages read.

All in all, I recommend it to anyone who wants to read a fun, quirky rom-com.

Lovey dovey book hangover!
Juno, a famous psychic known for finding people's soulmates, has finally decided she needs to find hers. Especially after a news article slammed her for not having her own. Her soulmate is a hot police chief in a small town in California. The only problem is, she doesn't really think love will work for her.
She has a talk show appearance coming up and knows they will ask her about the article. She has to have at least found her soulmate to shut them all up. She figures she'll meet him, try it out for a few dates and then go on about her way saying she at least gave it a shot.
Her plan. Not a good one.
Her soulmate Adam is a widower and not looking for love at all. His plan is a safe one that means settling down with a quiet single mom. No excitement or passion needed.
His plan. Not a good one.
When Adam and Juno meet its fireworks- on the inside. He sees her as trouble and the last thing he needs.
But sparks fly on their own. Their soulmate connection is too strong. And super spicy!

Omg this was amazing! It was sweet and spicy and had the coolest quirkiest characters in town!

I loved this and can't wait for the next love adventure in this small town!
Love! Love! Love!!

I was not sure what to expect when picking up this book. I knew it was going to be a book centering around a psychic trying to find her one true love her fatded partner but this book ended up being so much more than that.

You have Juno who is a psychic who oftentimes ends up. Not fully believing in herself and she very much does not believe in forever. At least not when it comes to her. Until she gets called out on a TV show and decide she's going to at least pretend to try and look for her meant to be partner.

She then meets Adam who is chief of police in the small town where this book takes place and he very much does not believe in love and is very closed off. When Juno arrives in his life, everything that he has got carefully ordered is thrown out of balance and I loved every second of it!

There was so much chemistry in this book that you really felt these characters were meant to be together. It wasn't rushed. It was very well developed and this small town is just absolutely great! I also loved all of the little moments of small town chaos. They are always delightful to read.

Thank you so much to @kathiaherself and @hambright_pr for an advanced copy of this book!! 💕💕

I was not sure what to expect going into this book with it highlighting a love psychic but ended up being pleasantly surprised. I hadn’t read a book by Kate Perry before and was excited to check out a new to me author.

It ended up being one of my favorite reads of the year. I loved the setting of a small, mountain town with historical ties to the Gold Rush. Juno was a FMC that has always helped everyone else find love, but sold herself short. I love her straightforward demeanor and how she goes after what she wants. Her growth through the book was amazing and I ended up being just as interested in her friendships she created as her love story.

Chief Adam Langford. Oofda. Talk about a hunk. This MMC had his entire world shook up when a love psychic declared him her soul mate. The chemistry between the two was off the charts and his carefully ordered world was thrown into beautiful chaos. The spice was hot.

I laughed out loud several times reading this and couldn’t recommend it more. Loved it.

This is book one in the Rough and Ready Series. Each book is an interconnected standalone that can be read in any order.

Kate Perry is a new to me author and this is my first book by her. It will definitely not be my last as I fell in love with her writing style. I loved the fun romance and banter between the MC's. The idea of soul mates is something I wholeheartedly believe in and this book brings out all the goodness in that belief. I loved the MC's they were both so relatable. Each with insecurities that held them back from love. I really wanted to be in Juno's circle of friends. She was a fabulously written character. The laughs were on every other page and the side characters just brought another level of fun.

Don't pass this one up. This is a fun easy read that will keep you wanting more. I am excited too see where we go in book 2 and I am looking forward to Zoe's story

Quote: “The heart always recognizes the one that drums with the same beat.”

Oh what a fun ride and I fell in love with the MMC Adam Interim Police Chief and FMC Juno a soulmate psychic. Juno has finally decided she has helped enough people find their soulmates and now it was her time, which brings her to Rough and Ready and Adam. The small town is so welcoming and she falls in love with all of them and them with her but Adam feels she’s a bit “chaotic” and he’s looking for more calm. She tells him they are soulmates, which he absolutely doesn’t believe and tries to fight against, as he needs no distractions while he tries to become permanent chief and have the yearly Treasure Hunt Event go off without a hitch and the end of Juno’s time in town. Their attraction to each other is undeniable and the whole town knows it and is rooting for them. Will Adam realize that he needs “chaos” not calm in his life before Juno goes back to SF?

This is the first in a new series, and this is Juno and Adam’s story.
Juno is a love psychic, and she helps others find their soulmates, but her parent’s divorce changed her own judgement, and when she is called out on national television, she knows it is time to find her own soulmate. Adam is a chief of police, and from the moment Juno sets her sites on him, she know he is the one, but he is sceptical with barriers firmly around his heart. These two certainly know how to push each other’s buttons.
This is a well written slow burn, easy to read story, with found family, friendships, emotions, fated mate, humour, witty banter, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, and unpredictable small-town romance.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Juno has become an expert at helping others find love, but she hasn’t had the same success for herself. As a result, her skills are being publicly questioned and the only way to put the questions to rest is to connect with the person she is destined to be with however the one complication she hadn’t factored in would be his resistance to accepting their fate.

Adam isn’t looking for love and doesn’t appreciate chaos and spontaneity. He prefers to have a plan however when Juno breezes into town she turns everything upside down and despite his belief that she isn’t what he is looking for he can’t seem to stay away from her and the way she makes him feel.

The relationship between Juno and Adam was fun and flirty and Juno is determined in her pursuit and once he lets down his guard the chemistry and connection between them was undeniable.

This was such a super cute read! I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect when I saw “love psychic” in the blurb but I definitely enjoyed this small town romance!

Juno and Adam’s chemistry was amazing! I mean obviously it was, they’re soulmates! I really enjoyed Juno’s character from the start because she was so down to earth and genuine! She truly seemed to love helping others out. Of course I loved Adam too. I mean who doesn’t love a man in uniform?

I absolutely loved all of the side characters and how the whole town schemed and plotted to get Juno and Adam together! I will definitely be reading the rest of the books in this series!

Thanks so much to the author and Hambright PR for the ARC of this book for an honest review!

Juno is our That’s So Raven love psychic! She is like a matchmaker, but with visions of a 100% success rate. Only problem is, she hasn’t much success in her own love life.

But when she meets the police chief of Rough and Ready, Adam, it’s love at first sight. But Adam is holding back, he is a widow and is very dedicated to his job.

What ensues is a friendship that quickly heats up, because Juno’s visions are never wrong.

I can definitely see this becoming an established series revolving around Rough and Ready and its occupants. Maybe some more psychics in the future? Or perhaps ZOE, our wonderful single mom??

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book- jumped into it blindly! But this was such a fun read it 😍

The story follows Juno, a love psychic searching for her soulmate after being called out on TV. She wasn’t looking for love, but meeting Adam, the Chief of Police in Rough and Ready, California, changed everything. 😏

Even with all grieving and emotional rollercoaster, these babies had the PERFECT chemistry and I was kicking my feet and giggling ☺️

I do recommending diving into this knowing as little as possible because it’s so fun 😍

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

This book is such a cute, small town romance. Juno and Adam's story is unique and fun. Juno comes across as relatable, confident, and overall quirky. Meanwhile, Adam is routine oriented and type A. Opposites do attract! The side characters also add so much to the overall story. I'm excited to see whose story plays out next.

First time reader of Kathia's books

I decided to try this book at Ava Miles suggestion, and I'm glad I did! Kathia, in my opinion, is an excellent writer who caught my attention on the first page. I loved Juno's circle of friends and how she weaved her storyline with the text messages. I will be ordering the next book in this series.

A very cute romance with a teeny tiny bit of magic essence. I enjoyed these characters immensely, and am so excited it’s a series! Such a unique perspective and new story line too. There are spicy scenes but high level, not pages of details. It’s quite funny too and I was certainly cracking up. Highly recommend reading this when you’ve got some free time!
