A delightful charmer in the PNR genre
I am thoroughly enchanted by this story! Fable is a bookstore owner with multiple ADHD issues who meets an angel under stressful circumstances; her parents had a meet-cute while she has a meet-chaotic, which is so on brand for her. Orion is the pattern of Alpha non-toxic masculinity responsible for Fable's introduction to the supernatural world. Fable and Orion are perfectly charming, perfectly matched, and perfectly humorous (the banter is such fun!); the development of their relationship is well-done, and the cameo appearances by the orange dictator (?!) just add to the hijinks! There are timeline and pronoun questions in the writing, but the challenge is quite the surprise, and the HEA is satisfying.

It’s a cute shifter book. Nothing amazing about it.
Fable also makes ADHD her personality. It’s literally all she can talk about. I like the fact that ADHD, and OCD were part of the main characters but I didn’t want it to be their personality.

A sweet mate for Orion
It feels odd to write that this is book seventy seven, but that is what it says in the title. This is a slow burn rom-com. I liked the character and the romantic comedy storyline, but it was too slow of a burn for me. It is a sweetheart story though because both characters are so understanding and thoughtful.
The lead female is named Fable and she owns a bookstore. She lost her parents in a tragic accident so she struggles with some things in life. One day Fable builds up the courage to drive somewhere special. Unfortunately a vehicle crossed into her lane. A tall dark and handsome stranger aka pretty strong angel aka Orion shows up and removes Fable from the car and calls for help. This is where their story begins. Read On!

Here for the representation
Nice story. I like the adhd representation, the mental health aspect and not rainbow colored glasses. I liked the aspect that he also had something as well like his is not labeled but it was nice to see it on both sides.
Especially cuz it wasn't the whole thing like. Oh oh I just do everything for my partner therefore it's not an issue anymore. It's like no. Here's the grounding check needs. I laminated your card cuz I noticed it was getting kind of worn out like it's not a. I came in and I have not fixed everything. I'm here and we're doing this together.

Great Story!
I really love the storyline and the characters in this book. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because there's quite a few errors while you're reading. There are a lot of times they know things they shouldn't know yet because they didn't explain it in the book or there's a he instead of a she or something wasn't there and then they talk about it in the scene and it just showed up. So if they just reread and made those small adjustments the book would be perfect.

This was a sweet, feel good, cutesy romance that ended up having a bit more substance than I expected. I picked it up thinking it would be pure fluffy, mindless fun, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The story touches on ADHD and managing panic attacks in a thoughtful way, giving the characters a little more depth than the premise suggests. It's still a light, easy read with plenty of fated mates and shifter romance, but those moments added something meaningful to the story.

Am I reading the same thing as others? This is terrible. I stopped 40 pages in, of those 40 pages it was an internal and out loud talking to her self. You know nothing about her except her "conditions" it's just 40 pages of repeating that she's got ADHD and anxiety so she can't do anything but read her own lists. Like a few other reviews I think this is Ai, not sure why anyone rating it 3 starts and still reviews it as Ai.

It was a fun and fast read. After reading a 3 book series I just wanted something light and fun and this was the book! loved it and recommend!! People who give it bad reviews I just don’t get. At this point i just pick a book and read. So done with the reviews. I’m an avid reader and average around 75 books a year. Sometimes u need a light and easy read and this was it. Don’t listen to the bad reviews! Yes Fable had ADHD but seriously doesn’t that make her more human! I said it! I loved it!

Cute book, witty banter - I did laugh out loud quite a bit.
I feel as though a lot of questions remained out there as to why the MMC was the way he was - he was a cute character but not well fleshed out.. But, cute story nonetheless.
Looking for cute shifter mind candy and quick read? - give it a go other wise nothing earth shattering.

Story Line Errors
There are story line errors through out the book that make me think AI was used. Example 1 (spoiler) best friend is gone on work trip, FMC meets MMC and MMC’s cat, Mario. Best friend comes back from work trip and meets the cat the first time and there are comments on the FMC and her owning the cat. I’m over here like ???????

Annoyingly Funny
ADHD, OCD, panic attacks, fear, the list goes on. At times it's so funny you will laugh out loud. Other times it becomes so repetitive you're ready to pull your hair out. There are some minor discrepancies in the storyline (my phobia) which irritate. There is spice and HEA.

Delightful story!
Cons: The title is long.
Pros: I love the main female character’s name.
From beginning to end I was entranced. I loved that what most people would consider character flaws ended up being strengths.

It was cute with witty banter but plot holes. She knew things he didn’t tell her. I found myself going back pages thinking I missed something. For example, she knew he was 300 years old but he hadn’t mentioned how old he was yet. How did she know?!

Fun
I borrowed this book from Kindle Unlimited. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I enjoyed this book, the main characters aren't perfect. They have flaws and still are likable and make the story better. 4 stars

I read it slowly because I did not want it to end. This is one of the best written fated mate trope books I have ever read. I mean it! Now off to read other books by the same authors!! If you enjoy fated mates, read this!!

Matching someones crazy perfection
Loved the characters in this story. The isms were written very well. This story represents what everyone desires, someone understanding your crazy and matching it. Orion had me swooning in the way he quietly and loudly supported and healed her.

TICKS
The story is wholesome and cute. It took me a bit to get into because of chaos chatter in the beginning. It gives you some insight for OCD and more. It doesn't make light of it but it's not overly drawn out either. I liked the instant connection with the paranormaly weird.

Errors
Not is spelling but in story line. Skips. Jumps. Inconsistencies. Wish the writer had taken the time to double check and fix.

It was a cute read though I had to go back several times and reread sections as there’s is some really weird time jumps and bits of information that the author just throws in without ever saying it

definitely AI written
Tired of these authors producing AI material. You can tell by endless inner thoughts in the beginning and robotic language.
