Genevia Zales is a witch who lives on Fate Mountain. She is getting things ready for the ritual in which she will summon her mother with the rest of the witches in her coven. They think she should take over her mother’s position as matriarch. Geneva just didn’t believe that she was read to lead the coven. She did not expect the message that she got from her mother. Her mother told her to find a mate to love and one who will love her. She reluctantly signs up for Mate.com which was founded by a bear shifter who lives on Fate Mountain. Can Geneva love shifter since there were more on Fate Mountain than witches? Rowan Tark is a lion shifter who is checking out Fate Mountain as a place to settle down and start a family because it was known to be the best place for shifters to settle down in. After leaving the military six months ago he had been traveling around the country trying to find out what he wanted out of life. He then realized he wanted love and a family. So here headed for Fate Mountain. He had just made himself a profile on the web site Mate.com a few days ago. It was a website that could actually find fated mates with 100 percent accuracy. He is matched with Geneva Zales and once they meet she tells him that she is a witch. He is surprised that witches existed but he was so drawn to her that he didn’t let that bother him. Can the two of them work out the mystery that brought them together while trying to build a relationship?

This short story will have your juices flowing and heart pounding in no time. Having to deal with the loss of her mother, the leader of her coven, only a short year ago, Geneva struggles with the weight of the other members suggestions that she take over the position. She doesn’t feel like she is ready or qualified for the position, and has decided to call upon her mother’s spirit this hallow’s eve, in a special ceremony to ask her what to do, hoping that her spirit will dictate that one of the other members take over. But the question is…will she be happy with the answers she will receive? After fulfilling his duties in the military, and a near-death incident, Rowan is ready to settle down and find his mate. He’s decided that Fate Mountain is the place he should be in order to do so. Having signed up to Mate.com over six months ago, he’s beginning to wonder if he’ll ever find her, until his phone buzzes and he’s received a message. Hot and steamy, this pair will have you believing in love at first sight in no time!

Short, sweet and sexy!
Geneva is worried about being made matriarch of her coven. Rowan has been out of the service for a little while now. He has moved to Fate Mountain to start his new life and looking for his mate. Geneva gets a surprise when asking a question at the All Hallow's Eve ritual, so she does as she is told and joins Mate.com. There she is matched as mate with Rowan. Then things really start moving. This is a nice sweet, yet sexy, shifter romance.
The pace is fast and the tone is positive with a character oriented storyline that has some steamy scenes. The characters are vivid and engaging. There is no action, just a sweet romance with a sexy zing! This is a sideline story to the different Fate Mountain, but a really nice addition. I totally enjoyed learning more about each main character.

What happens when you ask your Mom for advice? She glosses over your issue and goes on to her own agenda, even when she's passed away and you have summoned her spirit. Being a smart daughter the FMC does as she's told and signs up for the dating app, leading to an immediate mate with 100% accuracy!?! Geneva's doubts about taking over the Coven are addressed, Rowan settles in and the reader enjoys a good HEA, with an opening for a sequel happening at the end. Well written and plenty of steam.

Simple, sencillo y directo al punto.
Pareja encantadora que cae en cae en el titulo de Amor Rápido. Historia bastante corta que en algunos momentos senti que iba muy rápido en todo, me quedarón algunas preguntas, eso si, pero la historia se deja leer, se disfruta, pasas el tiempo.
Me gusto el tipo de escritura de la autora, espero poder leer más libros de ella.

It's not reincarnation that I take issue with, far from it, it's the idea of being reincarnated as your own grandchild, and your daughter knowing this, and in a world where some people who are reincarnated are aware of or possibly remember their past life/lives that kind of ruined the end of the book for me.

Cute story.
Short, and sweet. There's no complicated plot, or evil killers stalking the main characters. Just a sweet story of a nice witch, who just wants to live a peaceful life, and have a family. The Lion shifter, who arrives, is yearning for a mate, and a family of his own. They meet, and it's literally magic.

A fast pace, steamy, fated mates, instalove story. Magic happens on Halloween when a witch and a lion shifter meet. Thanks to an online find your mate app.
This story was too fast-paced to be my normal cup of tea, but I think it's acceptable for a Halloween novella read.

This story takes place in a familiar place for Scarlett Grove fans, Fate Mountain. Geneva Zales is a local white witch who lives on Fate Mountain and just wants to live her life without the added stress of being the leader of her coven. She misses her mom, who passed away a year ago and is preparing for a ritual that will allow her to speak to her once more. With the help of other witches within her coven, she gets her wish, but what she did not expect to hear was that she must find a mate to love and who loves her. She reluctantly signs up for Mate.com.
Then you have Rowan Tark, a lion shifter who has been roaming around the country after recently leaving the military trying to figure out what he wants out of his life. After nearly losing control of his motorcycle, he figures out what he wants. To be closer to other shifters and to make a home with a mate, thus he ends up on Fate Mountain.
They do say Fate is a funny thing. Mate.com is matching a witch and a lion shifter on Halloween night. Can the two of them work out the mystery that brought them together while trying to build a relationship? Keep on reading because you don’t know what Ms. Grove will cook up for you.
I voluntarily read an ARC of this story and I’m leaving my honest opinion.

Short, good story that lightly touches on Ms Groves Rescue Bears series but is not really part of it.
Just found the epilogue tried to cram in too much information that really did not need to be included.
Interesting dating service, spirit of her dead mother sends her out to find her mate.

This felt rushed and needed more conflict and details. There is obviously a happily ever after but even that needed more.

Sweet
A very short and quick love story. It has all the makings to be expanded into a novel or series. These two made me feel very happy.

Its ok
The story wasn't bad. It was low on plot and high on spiciness. I just wished it had more of a story to it.
