Olive Russo, a hopeless romantic vlogger hiding behind a veil of sarcasm, has always believed true love existed only in her beloved books. When faced with an arranged marriage, she turns to the legendary paranormal matchmaker. Unexpectedly, Gerri comes through and matches her to Tall, Dark and Tech-y with the body of a god.

Chaos Amato is a powerful lion shifter with a heart of gold beneath his billionaire exterior. Yearning for a love that sees beyond his wealth, he enlists Gerri's help to find his destined mate. What he doesn't expect is the instant, electric connection he feels when he meets the enchanting, sweet Olive.

From their first encounter, Olive and Chaos are drawn to each other like moths to a flame. With every touch, every laugh, and every tender moment, Olive and Chaos find themselves writing their own epic love story. But as secrets unravel and challenges arise, can they trust in the unbreakable bond of true mates?

Great book Experience

“I did choose you, bella mia. You’re my mate. The one for me. There was no choosing. You just are. And if I had a choice, I’d say it’s because you’re real, Olive” he said, his voice low and earnest, “You’re brilliant, and funny, and compassionate. You challenge me in ways no one ever has. When I’m with you, I don’t feel like Chaos Amato, tech tycoon and shifter alpha. I just feel like… me”.

review of “No Mane, No Gain” by Milly Taiden.

If you ever feel that your love life doesn’t match. What happens when there is a Paranormal Dating Agency that will match you with your forever love. When Olivia doesn’t want to marry the person that their parents choose for her, she turns to an agency for matchmaking services so she can get her love life under her control. Chaos, the alpha want to escape his family arranged marriage and with the pressure of his pride to choose a mate brings him to try the paranormal dating agency. I highly recommend this book for an escape of normal romance, where you will se the tension that this two characters have from the beginning. But not all is easy when there are obstacle along the way that will do anything to not see them together. After reading this book you will want a Lion Alpha as a mate.

Other quotes I like from this book;

“‘I like my men like I like my coffee-hot strong, and able to keep me up all night”

“Sometimes what we think we want isn’t actually what’s best for us. I promise you, the man I choose for you will be perfect for you in ways you can’t even imagine right now.”

“The heart wants what it wants, whether the object of it desire turns furry or not”

“I promise to be your partner, your protector, and your biggest fan in this life and whatever comes after”

Thiis was a very different read, loved the characters and storyline immensely
Olive wants a family but she also wants a partner that loves her of his own accord and not someone that her family has tried to arrange a match with, or tried to pressure her in to marrying she will not allow this to happen.
Chaos is the leader of the Lion Group and he is a billionaire CEO that is expected to settle for the match that had been made for him when he was barely older than a cub. He is determined that he will only settle for a love match and is prepared to wait until hopefully he finds his mate.
Gerri as usual wields her magic and the two meet and there is instant chemistry between them and they are more than sure they are mates. However, someone seems determined to ensure that Olive fails to make it to her date, in fact she’ll be lucky to keep breathing…
This is an exciting, sexy and very determined read where two individuals refuse to settle for anything less that true love.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

MT has official taken over the top slot of my most read author. Of course, she could have done that with just this series alone, and she has so many great books, but this series is my favorite of them all. I absolutely adore Gerri Wilder. She is a feisty, take-no-BS, tell-it-like-it-is lady and I love her for it. MT has created a series that has withstood the test of whether a series can survive long enough to reach this level of editions and it is incredible. I never regret picking up one of her PDA books and this time was no different. Olive and Chaos are a fantastic lineup of characters/couples this series has brought to life and I had a great time going on their journey with them. I can't wait for the next book.

Well done to the author!

Olive at 30 gears old she is running the family fiundatioon as well as her passion a
book vlog. But she was to be in an arranged marriage but she refuses because she wants more, so her cousin Athens encourages her to contact The Paranormal Dating Agency.
Chaos an alpha of his pride anda Tech CEO who is having a similar problem but refuses to even consider marriage serious feelings which he has never felt before, so when he arrives in New York his best friend finally gets him to call and speak to Carrie Silver about finding him a mate. The adventure is about to begin and the two have fight for the relationship. An entertaining storyline the characters are an awesome couple. I read a copy without obligation. I volunteered an honest review.

No Mane, No Gain - Milly Taiden Pub 10/19/24 5 stars
Olive & Chaos

Olive would like a family but she wants a love match, not someone her family pressures her to marry. Chaos, as the leader of the Lion group and billionaire CEO, is expected to settle with the arrangement made when he and the female were young. He wants a love match as well.

How will Gerri handle this one?

The two meet and are attracted—very attracted. Their relationship is fun, and the chemistry is off the charts, with plenty of dangerous distractions. The question isn't whether they will make it together but whether she will live.

Another good one I recommend.

I loved this book! Another great Gerri Wilder love story. Olive & Chaos make a great couple. Olive head of the Russo foundation and vlogger. Chaos CEO of a tech company and Alpha lion shifter. They both go to Gerri Wilder to avoid an arranged marriage. It’s got romance, drama and chaos. You keep reading to find out who is causing the chaos and for the romance. Who wants to keep them apart? I received a free ARC copy for my review.

A human woman and a male lion shifter!

A human woman wants out of an arranged marriage. Her cousin suggests an elderly woman matchmaker. A male lion shifter wants out of an arranged marriage. His COO and best friend suggests an elderly woman matchmaker. You will have to read the book to find out what all happens to everyone. Plenty of twists and turns, sabotage, poisoning and so much more. Happy reading!

Good story but...

The story was great, but I think that Milly forgot to do some proofreading because some of the characters were saying dialogue meant for others. And details like the hair color of the male character kept changing from black to blonde. Completely confusing at times.

Otherwise it was a great tale!

Brilliant Series

No Mane, No Gain (Paranormal Dating Agency Book 84) by Milly Taiden. Lion shifter Chaos and human Olive both separately contact Gerri Wilder to find a match for them that would get them out of a marriage to someone their parents had contracted for them. Gerri matches them to each other but the course of their love doesn’t run smoothly.

Loved Olive and Chaos. They have a rough time of it, Chaos's sister is a piece of work. Loved the way it came full circle at the end, that Gerri is pretty sneaky. I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

romantic!

Another happy couple for the amazing Gerri!
I liked how it all came together except for one little thing, but I can’t mention it without spoilers so I’ll just live with it.
And I really hope Tia grows up so she is worthy of Gerri eventually helping her.

Milly is back on the beat!

Its been a while since reading my first PDA book📚 by the author. I am now waiting for each book📗 to come out. What I had noticed on a few prior PDA novels was a mixture of her branching out on her other books. But this one I truly enjoyed!

Great

If you're into paranormal romance books and like me, your love language is sarcasm to the max, then look no further.
I did receive this book as an ARC, but this is my honest review.

No Mane, No Game is the 84th book in the Paranormal Dating Agency series. It's a paranormal, shifter, tech-y, humorous romance. This was a quick fun read. The chemistry between Chaos and Olive is off the charts. It's action packed and full of all the feels. Another enjoyable read by this author.

Olivia had been promised to someone, an arranged marriage. She wanted to find love, not be forced into marriage. Chaos was the same. The lion shifter was also looking for love. When Geri Wilder gets involved, all bets and hearts are off. Fabulous shifter romance by Milly Taiden!

Olive and Chaos both turn to Gerri Wilder’s matchmaking services to save them from the same fate - the prospect of a loveless arranged marriage. Their staged meeting produced electric chemistry and the ire of Chaos’ sister, who hoped to set him up with her best friend. Their story was a fun read, complete with plenty of sweet, heat and drama. I love this series and can’t wait to see what Gerri has in store for us next
