Mystic Zodiac #5

Celeste: May

Rate this book
A bet between Eros, the God of love & desire, and Chloe (Chlotho), the Fate of birth, leads to a year filled with match-making and passion.

~~~~~

Celeste Kincaid is on a mission: Find the injured deer in the woods near her home and heal it. Once she does, she can get back to her real job; healing animals brought into her practice and teaching the next generation of faerie healers. She can also get back to dipping her toe in the dating scene. But from the onset of the task, she gets the feeling something isn’t right. When she finds the injured deer, which ends up being a sick fawn in the back yard of the sexiest Wood Elf she’s ever seen, she knows something is up.

Owen Foster is in love, well, at least lust at first sight. The blonde-haired goddess standing in his backyard is every man’s fantasy come true; until she opens her mouth and accuses him of being a crappy elf. He can overlook that misguided belief as he helps her care for the fawn, but when her youngest sister shows up and acts like they’re together, he’ll have to go to desperate measures to prove they aren’t.

A meddling mother dabbling with faerie magic, the worst storm they’ve ever seen, along with a bear and a fawn—will these two be able to turn their instant attraction into a love of a lifetime?

~~~~~

NOTE: Mystic Zodiac is a 12 book series. It is NOT a serial. Each book ends in a happily ever after for the main couple. However, the prologue and epilogue of each story follows the Gods that kick off the series, Eros and Chlotho (aka Chloe). At the end of the series the bet between the two will come to a conclusion.

Celeste Kincaid knows something is off when she’s sent on a mission to help an injured deer and just happens to find the sexiest wood elf she’s ever seen in this charming paranormal romance.

Owen has his work cut out for him convincing Celeste that he’s not a crappy elf and he doesn’t desire her sister he only wants Celeste and the reader can’t help but get caught up in the sparkling passion and quite charming situation as these two compelling characters find themselves at the mercy of a meddling mother, freaky storms and cute and cuddly animals in this fast paced story that charms readers with magical romance.

Tension builds as Celeste and Owen’s attraction heads to the happily ever kind of love but there’s reason to doubt that it’s true which threatens to end it all. Vivid imagery brings this story to life and has the readers wanting to head out to Foster Woods right along with Celeste and the setting is perfect for this romance adding just the right amount of magical ambiance to the story.

This charming story had me spellbound until the very end and I really love how the situations and settings really fit each character in this series, it makes everything seem…like it is supposed to be that way.

Once again Ms. Walker gives us a steamy fun tale of love. In this book we get a better look at Eros and Chloe’s relationship and we meet fairy Celeste Kincaid and wood elf Owen Foster a pair destined to be together but without a nudge they will never meet. So nudges are provided. I loved Celeste from the start but it took a bit for me to like Owen. By the end I was in love. This is a terrific addition to this very loosely connected series.

Oh, that Eros! It's May and he has a new couple for Chloe....
Celeste Kincaid is quite happy living away from home and teaching the young faeries. When Celeste's mother tells her she has to go out to Foster's Woods to investigate reports of an injured deer, Celeste tells her that is her youngest sister, Avery's, job. Well, everyone knows Avery can't be trusted and is totally a boy crazy brat, but she must be capable of this task. Well, no, the only thing Avery is interested in the woods is Owen Foster; the wood elf who took over Foster's Woods when his grandfather retired. Despite it being an easy job, things don't go smoothly for Celeste, especially after she meets hunky Owen. With humor, magic spells and, yes, hot sex, May's story is a charming, sexy fairy tale.
(Gifted an ARC for independent review)

I was excited to read this as I love anything that is to do with the Gods of old..
and it did not let me down, I loved every minute it took to read it..
I found it to be very well written and every thing flowed so smoothly I was at the end before I realized it..
As much as I fell madly for Owen and Celeste, I want to meet Chester!!..
I really enjoyed meeting these gorgeous characters..

Even though I got this for free, I would quite happily pay for it...
Highly Recommend to all over 18

Celeste is the fifth installment in Brandy Walker’s Mystic Zodiac Series. The latest installment of the Eros versus Chloe challenge of matchmaking twelve mystics introduces us to Celeste Kincaid and Owen Foster. A fairy and wood elf, who are fated to be together. However, outside parties decide to meddle, some with the best intentions while others interfere for selfish reasons. The characters connected on all levels as the story flowed smoothly till the last page, it is a great read. I do want to know more about Chester, I am very curious about him.

Chloe is given her next couple to match. It's going to be a little tricky , but throw in a matchmaking mama to help get the job done. Celeste is an animal healer faerie and she given an assignment to help an injured deer in the woods except she doesn't go in the woods anymore. The new wood elf is nothing like the older elf she is used to when she had her time in the woods. Instant attraction, but her youngest sister has called dibs. Owen is stunned by the beautiful faerie, but how he convince her he wants her not her younger sister? You could feel the connection between the characters. When they're together it's hot! Loved when Celeste gets together just gets laughs out of me.

May is awesome

This series just keeps getting better and better. I am truly looking forward to June.
The eldest of 6 girls, training in the woods complete, Celeste, a fairy, is called to duty in the woods replacing her youngest sister. With Celeste being a healer to all animals, she is needed to help a deer.
Owen a wood elf has taken over his estranged grandfather's post as a healer to the animals in the woods.
What happens when the,two meet? And why is there a spell involved?
This is a must read with this series.

This is a sweet/hot story and I'm so happy it didn't take a dive into crazy when Mama Faerie overstepped. I like that Celeste is a strong independent woman and seriously if I was her I'd have one less sister....just sayin. I know Owen may seem hard to like to some but I was all over him. My favorite character is Chester and I have my suspicions....hmmmmm
