Rate this book
The Hollywood starlet falls for her bodyguard. Cliché, right?

Nothing could prepare me for her. I’m ready to deal with a difficult, spoiled Hollywood starlet when she walks into my life and turns it upside down. Molly Kinley is curvy, sweetness, and light. She’s also my mate.

Too bad a silly misunderstanding sends her running from me. I’m shocked to realized the well-connected actress pulled off one heck of a disappearing act. After weeks of looking, I admit to myself she’s gone for good. Convincing my head-over-heels in love wolf to back off is one of the hardest things I ever do.

Just when my heart begins to heal, the woman who almost destroyed me walks back into my life. With our twins.

Once the shock wears off, I pull myself together. It might have taken me 10 years, but I finally have my head on straight. And I’ll do whatever it takes to win my curvy mate.

Watch out, little Glitter Girl! Your hungry wolf is on the prowl, and I won’t let you slip through my fingers a second time.

To be honest, I didn't like it. I thought Magnus was an asshole and didn't deserve Molly. In ALL shifter books well...the ones I've read up until now anyway, when a shifter finds his mate, he moves heaven and earth for that mate. Magnus not only gave up so easily, he didn't even bother looking for her!! He runs a security company for cripes sakes! He could have found her if he wanted to. And it also sounded like Magnus wasn't a virgin but of course the heroine was. I like my shifters to ONLY be with their intended mates.

Oh, Magnus we finally get your story and watch as you fall head over heels in love. This is the tale of Molly and Magnus. Yes, it may begin as a work relationship, but it soon turns into so much more.
Instant attraction, so many misunderstandings, meddling family, heartbreak and then a second chance. Loved the premise of the story.

*SPOILER ALERT* DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I have been following this series, and have been waiting for Magnus's story, it was a great story but so quick!! I felt it there could have been more telling of the angst both characters delt with and the forgiveness was too quick. There should have been more groveling for me seeing as it was Molly's error and her cousins stupidity as well. Overall I liked the book.

not what I expected

Okay, I have to be completely honest here, I have been anxiously awaiting this addition to this wonderful series. I have loved all of these books and have so wanted Magnus to finally get his happy ending after the huge mix-up but I just didn’t feel it. The story didn’t pull me in like the rest of them did. If anything it left me more frustrated. I really didn’t like Molly for staying away for 10 years (that felt really excessive) and I never really got a clear understanding how if his brother got his fated mate, then how was Molly also his fated mate. Just too much didn’t fit for me, which made me sad because I do love this series and this author and am looking forward to reading much more.

This is one of the books I couldn’t wait to get my hands on. It’s the one that you just now is going to leave you with a smile on your face.

With Glitz & Grumbles, Loni has given us Magnus and Molly’s story and what a story it is. They meet and the sparks fly. Things get hot and heavy and both are all in until an unfortunate misunderstanding blows them apart. Fast forward ten years and they get their happily ever after. It was hot, sexy and stressful but so worth it!

I’m giving Glitz & Grumbles the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR and Enjoy!

After the first day of shooting Magnus asks Molly if she'll have dinner with him, she doesn't want to go out so they stay in her room and order. Magnus tells Molly he's never had a relationship with a client before. He tells her he won't pursue this if she doesn't want to go any further. Molly tells him she wants this, as they eat dinner she tells him about her parents. Magnus tells Molly that he a shifter and can change into a wolf, then he shows her. Molly tells him he's stunning then he changes back. She then asks him what happens next. Magnus tells her they get to know each other and see where things go. Over the next few days they spend every waking moment together. Molly asks him if he's going to make a move or if her inexperience turns him off. He tells her that knowing he's the only man that's ever been in her life, makes him the happiest.

Magnus had to go over seas to protect a starlight, because the other person that was watching her had quit because he found his soulmate. Magnus had called his twin brother Marcus to come to Celestial Falls to handle everything in the office while he was gone to fill in. Marcus finally got his mate Stormy. Now Magnus is Paris and is about to meet Molly. That's when he finds out that Molly is his mate. But he doesn't want to scare her off. He shows her his wolf and everything is going great until her busy body manger Maribel finds a picture of Stormy and Marcus' engagement photos. Maribel tells Moly that it's Magnus and has his company fired from her security detail. So, Magnus comes home and is still unable to come into the Cupcake Fairy. That's when Marcus tells him the story how Stormy cased a spell to repel her intend mate away, but Cupid messed and he didn't know about the spell. That really didn't matter to Magnus because he found his mate in Molly. When the wedding came around Magnus got way to drunk at the party after the wedding and started telling everyone that Marcus stole his mate. Magnus really didn't mean it, he was made that he lost his mate.

TEN YEARS LATER

So Stormy and Marcus give all the kids ice cream so that Magnus and Molly could talk. Molly soon understands that who she was seeing his identical twin brother and his fiancé at the time she thought she saw him kissing an engagement ring 10 years ago. Once everything is sorted out. Magnus starts to bond with his boys. Magnus and Molly tell the boys the story and they seem to take it just fine. Molly just wants to pick up were they left off, but Magnus isn't ready for that pick were they left off.


Such a amazing story and can't wait to see what happens next.

Magnus & Molly’s book has been long awaited since we got that ending scene in his brothers book, and this was quite the fun and short read. I was surprised to learn that the separation between the two was 10 years and I really wish it had been a shorter time period. When they reunite you could feel the love they all had for each other, and they were never with anyone else so it was totally safe.

This book flew by and It was so heartwarming seeing their little family come together. I could have read 100 more pages that involved a a little more groveling and more time focusing on the kids, but maybe we will get their matings in future books. I really enjoyed Molly and Magnus, and the little glimpses they see of their extended family. The Glitz was only temporary, but the grumble was forever.

Magnus is set to be security for Molly while on set of her next movie. After a while, a relationship starts up and he knows she is his mate. When wrong evidence is presented by her cousin, Molly breaks off the contract with Blackwolf Security, which is owned by the twin brothers. Ten years later she shows up at the house with twin boys and wants to talk with Magnus, telling him they are his kids. She was forced to tell him when they shifted for the first time. The characters are terrific as they work through the misconceptions. The storyline has drama, surprises, secrets, steam, twists as twins, repeated twins, a crazy godmother cat and much more. Love the instant closeness of the families of the twins and the bonding with their father. Great ending.

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Glitz and grumbles is the fifth book in the ‘’celestial falls’’ series.
This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. This book is Magnus’s book who we met in his twin brothers book. When Magnus meets his mate, will things go smoothly?
The chemistry between Molly and Magnus is clear to see and I liked them together. That being said, I was annoyed at Molly for how she acted for so many years. That being said, I liked that they got a second chance.
I really disliked Molly’s cousin.
I liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I look forward to more books from this series.

This is Magnus and Molly's story which is part of the Celestial Falls series and is a follow up to the Hexes and Howls story, which deals with Magnus's twin and his mate. I think this story may be a bit confusing if you don't read Hexes and Howls but it will be worth it. The love felt between Magnus and Molly was palpable which made what happened next so hard to bear. They do get their happily ever after but not without some angst.

When Magnus was hired to protect Molly a Hollywood starlet he never imagined she would end out being his mate. From the moment they meet sparks fly and everything is going great until there is a misunderstanding and then she is gone. Ten years later she's back and she's not alone. Glitz and Grumbles is book five and a great addition to the Celestial Falls series. The writing is well done, the characters are likable and this quick paranormal romance has a happily ever after. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Finally Magnus gets his story. From the moment Magnus and Molly meet the electric connection between them jumps from the pages. Then Magnus is left wondering what happened to his mate for ten long years. This was a heart wrenching read with family interference, broken hearts and two lonely people who are apart because of a misunderstanding and lack of communication. There’s lots of chemistry and a few surprises in this second chance romance. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This series is so much fun. It’s cute and sweet but steamy as well. In this book Magnus finally gets his HEA after Cupid’s mess up giving his mate to his twin brother Marcus. There’s confusion, love, joy, heartbreak, despair, grudges, acceptance then more confusion, grumpiness and finally, finally it comes back to love, joy and forever. Plus so many babies when you have very competitive twin brothers.

This was a great PNR/ fated mates romance. Finally Magnus got his mate. I have read and enjoyed this entire series and since reading Hexes and Howls I’ve been anxious to read Magnus’ story. It did not pan out the way I was expecting but this way just worked. I really wouldn’t recommend reading Magnus and Molly’s story without reading Hexes and Howls first but it could be done. I really loved this story.

Magnus and his identical twin Marcus ran the security business, one of the guards quit so Magnus had to take his place. Molly the star he was helping guard was his mate but her aunt saw Marcus with his mate and told Molly the Magnus was mated. So they fired his company instead of asking Marcus any questions and so he missed out of 9 1/2 years of his twin sons lives. Things were worked out. Good book!

Molly and Magnus get together,

Magnus' security business is hired to guard Molly, who is an actress. Upon meeting, he knows she's his mate.

Molly and Magnus get together, but a mix-up tears them apart for ten years.

Will they get over the anger and frustration once some facts are shared as to why Molly ghosted him?

I enjoyed this read 📚 but it felt a little rushed when she finally turns up searching for him.

Loved this. Not sure why but this book flowed so much better than the previous ones and we get to see Magnus get his happy ending. We see how he meets Molly and what happens to cause all his unhappiness. I felt for him and loved when Molly finally owns up to her mistakes. Magnus and Molly are perfect together and I loved the kids.

what the what?

I usually love a Loni Ree book but man was this a weird, disjointed story. There is a LOT of dissatisfaction over how the Maribel situation is handled and the huge time gap makes the story jumpy and just strange. I honestly really didn’t like it. If it weren’t well edited grammar wise etc. I probably would’ve given it one star.

An enjoyable second chance romance in the Celestial Falls series! It is engaging, emotionally deep, fast paced, funny, steamy, and well written with a ten year misunderstanding due to lack of communication, surprises, likeable characters, undeniable chemistry, and more. Definitely recommended!

Amazing

Wow what a whirlwind of a story. I couldn't wait for Magnus story. What a way to get it. It was amazing. Molly and Magnus have waited 10 years to be reunited. Will I'm sorry be enough to fix the past? This book was filled with love and heart ache. I almost cried several times. Well worth the read.

This is the first shifter book that I have read by this author and she didn't disappoint. Molly and Magnus had instant chemistry but their relationship was pulled apart by a misunderstanding. That made their reunion that much better. I strongly recommend this book.
