She can't deny her magic, and he can't deny her.Marci finds things, including a chicken she's suddenly adopted. Running her own magical PI business has never made her mother proud or her fiance think her an equal, but at least it was hers. Led by magic that won't be ignored, she leaves everything behind to find out what the universe thinks is so important. Leaving an arranged marriage, a judge mental family, and a life she's never really fit into is a bonus. What she didn't count on was a ghost, an eerie forest, and a man that makes her blood boil.Caleb served in the special forces for the supernatural, only he's always been more comfortable with the humans rather than his own kind. The loss of his best friend had him running away to a sleepy mountain town, or was it something else that called him? He's always been a solitary kind of bear, until a woman falls into his life with a temperamental chicken.Can Marci get past this bear shifter's walls, or will Caleb let magic take her away?

She can't deny her magic, and he can't deny her.
Marci finds things, including a chicken she's suddenly adopted. Running her own magical PI business has never made her mother proud or her fiancé think her an equal, but at least it was hers. Led by magic that won't be ignored, she leaves everything behind to find out what the universe thinks is so important. Leaving an arranged marriage, a judge mental family, and a life she's never really fit into is a bonus. What she didn't count on was a ghost, an eerie forest, and a man that makes her blood boil.
Caleb served in the special forces for the supernatural, only he's always been more comfortable with the humans rather than his own kind. The loss of his best friend had him running away to a sleepy mountain town, or was it something else that called him? He's always been a solitary kind of bear, until a woman falls into his life with a temperamental chicken.
Can Marci get past this bear shifter's walls, or will Caleb let magic take her away?


This is the third book in the Move Over Fate series but can very easily be read as a standalone.
In this one we have Marci who is a witch that can find anything; then we have Caleb and he is a grumpy bear shifter.
This is a well written book with an entertaining story line. The characters are strong and well developed and the author does a great job bringing them together.
It's such a real feel good romance and once started you won't be able to put it down. These two are a joy to watch come together.
Recommend Reading.

I received a free copy of this book from the lovely author and this is my honest voluntary review.

Marci may be a witch that can find anything but that doesn't make her life any easier She still has to deal with her ex, her family and especially her mother who is never happy. So she decides she has had enough and takes her PI business elsewhere after all something is calling her and her chicken that she found. What is on the end of that call is Grumpy bear shifter Caleb He has his own problems he has recently left the special forces where he actually got on better with the humans than the other shifter and now he has headed to a sleepy small town to lick his wounds or that is what he thinks Is there another reason why he felt a call to this particular town could it have something to do with a witch that has arrived there recently These two are fated mates but first they will have to let their walls down around one another and let love in. Another great read from Michelle I always love her books

Every time I read a Michelle Ziegler Book, that book becomes my favorite so..... SNOWY WITH A CHANCE OF MATING is my favorite story in this series, (Move Over Fate), this time it really is. I loved Caleb, the grumpy bear, he really has valid reasons to keep his heart & emotions closed off from everyone, except with Frank, his dog.
It's real easy to identify with feisty Witch Marci, whose magic finds things, she has had enough of her sleazy Ex, & her frustration with her Mother and family has peaked. Moving to a new location was the right move, almost forgot about Hazel, Marci's pet chicken, all this makes a great story, but, there is more going on in this Town & with its inhabitants. This book was such a fun read. I'm looking forward to more books with Michelle's wonderful characters and storylines. This book is a fun read. BJS

I so loved this book. It was cute and quirky and a lot of fun. Maci is a witch who can find things and she tries to return them to their rightful places, but she really hasn't found herself. Caleb is a bear shifter who lost himself and is finding peace in a small village. After Maci catches her boyfriend cheating, she decides to take over a bed and breakfast in the small village where Caleb lives. Caleb isn't to sure about Maci especially when she arrives with a chicken in tow and soon the fun begins. Lots of antics from relatives, old ladies, a ghost, fairies and of course, the chicken will keep you laughing and loving every word. I highly recommend reading this book.

I received a beta copy of this book and in exchange, I am freely giving my open and honest review.

Snowy With A Chance Of Mating is a paranormal romance by Michelle Ziegler. Ms. Ziegler has produced a well-written book and furnished it with fun and lovable characters. Marci doesn't fit in with her family and when she crashes her fiance's private party with another woman she's had enough, she's off to the other side of the country with her adopted chicken. Caleb is a bear shifter trying to avoid people after his brother from his foster family is killed while serving along with Caleb. Marci and Caleb's story is loaded with drama, humor, spice, action and suspense. I enjoyed this book. Snowy With A Chance Of Mating is book 3 of the Move Over Fate Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Marci Just Wants To Make Her Own Choices. OVER 18 READING

Caleb a bear shifter ends up in this strange little small town of shifters and witches after his time in the service. He thinks he hasn't and doesn't want to get close to anyone because caring means having something to lose and be hurt. Then Marci comes to town to take over the old rundown bed and breakfast with a spirit . There are also pixies in the blue forest she has been warned not to go into. She has a cheating ex who will come to make her go back home to marry him and cause trouble. Her mother,sisters and their husbands will come bring a few more surprises. You will laugh from beginning to the end with this story.

A really good shifter romance with a twist.💞🐻💖💞

Marci needs to get away from her family and her ex-fiancé after she catches him cheating so she packs everything and moves to run a Bed & Breakfast in a new town. That's where she meets Caleb and her magic tells her she is where she needs to be. But that doesn't mean it's going to be easy.😉💗🔥💕🤣

This is one of those romances that will have you laughing at Marci & Caleb with all the feels too. It was a fun, but steamy, read. ❤️️

This is the third book in the Move Over Fate series but can *very* easily be read as a standalone.😊❣️

A magical romance. Marci is from a family of witches. She has a magic, just not the normal type. She can find anything that has been lost or someone is looking for. Her family is all about money and politics. To escape them and her ex she will wind up in one small and interesting town. Caleb is a bear shifter with a mysterious past that he doesn’t fully know and is also ex military. He just wants a simpler life but the fates seem to have other plans for both of them. With a lot of meddling witches and other paranormals, the story gets funny and crazy at times. The romance is sweet and funny at times too.

There was a lot of unexpected here. Caleb and Marci are mates chosen by fate, both trying to run from their past and finding peace in the other. Circumstances push them to a realization and necessity urged them to do things at the now, which made their lives truly colorful.

All kinds of magical creatures seems to be present: the witch, the warlock, the shifter, the faeries and the pixies. The witch and the shifter guarding a portal and the pixies residing in the magical forest.

You won’t be able to put this book down
Such a wonderful story. This story is how I imagine most families are. They hate you, they love you, they want the best for themselves and for you. These two are a joy to watch come together. She’s a little quirky and out of sorts and he’s grumpy and set in his funk, but together they find their path and make it to their HEA. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.

This is the best shifter story I have ever read. It was funny, romantic, suspenseful, everything you want in a book. But don't read it too late at night because you won't want to put it down until you finish.

Caleb is a real grumpy bear but maybe Marci (and her chicken) could get him out of his mood; if only she would agree that she is his true mate. Her fiance (ex??) may have something to say about it though.

Another fantastic story by Michelle Ziegler I loved these two characters Caleb who is a grumpy bear shifter and Marci who is a witch and she’s new to town. Caleb has closed off his heart and his emotions but he loves his dog Frank, and Marci’s chicken Hazel. Sorry guys no spoilers today not with this one but it’s an amazing cast of characters and Caleb and Marci are a great couple I enjoyed this story immensely and I highly recommend this book.

Book three in the Move Over Fate series I found myself laughing at somethings that happen. Marci and Caleb's story was one I was not putting down until I had finished reading it. A great story-line with pages that flow smoothly one to the other. Magic, suspense, drama, danger, a forest that wants to keep her, an ex-fiance, and romance.

Absolutely, totally a fun story! Caleb, bear shifter, Marci witch new to town who brings a lot of heavy baggage are fated mates. That's the easy part. Navigating the town, the family, the ex, spirited pets and the ups and down of courtship make this a fun, magical story. Ms Ziegler has done an excellent job making a story fun while dealing with the complexities of courtship. This is a library book. Nicely done! I received an ARC from Booksprout for a review.

I enjoyed Marci and Caleb's story! It's a very captivating and well written story. I really loved how the relationship developed between the witch and the shifter. The grumpy bear lives with secrets in a town that the quirky Marci and her pet chicken has just escaped to. With her family dynamics and ex you cannot blame her from trying to escape. This is a magical story that is a fairly quick read and was also a pleasure to read!

The book was very well written, and the characters were very likeable and relatable. There was quite a bit of emotional baggage to deal with especially with Marci. Caleb and Marci made a wonderful couple; both had issues in their past that they had to overcome in order to have a future. But this was a great book and I hope more is on the way.

First time reading this author and I thought this book was a quick read and a fun romance story. With a bear shifter included the story has some well described and likable characters. Every family and relationship have their issues and the characters in this story are no different! I enjoyed reading it.

God read

This is a good story wth humor mixed in with some action as well as the love story. Marci is a witch whose talent is finding things. She found a chicken and gets to keep it. Caleb is a bear shifter damaged by his time in service. They learn to help each other. For mature readers.

Great book!

The characters were believable, the passion between them was believable, and the angst they went through was totally believable. I really enjoyed the book! I have read a lot of Michelle Ziegler’s books and this is the first one I left a review for. Not that I didn’t love the other books, I just really enjoyed this one a lot.

I absolutely LOVED this book. I will not give the synopsis since you can read the blurb and others give more detail but I definitely recommend!
The chemistry, sexiness, sweetness, and twists in plot kept things very interesting.

I cannot wait to read more by this author. Definitely worth your time!

Difficult to read

Honestly I dont understand all the 5 star reviews. Things jumped so fast, I found myself lost continuously. At chapter 6, I gave up. It's just to poorly written.
It was like watching one of those movies where your friend asks what's going on and you're like I have no idea! I thought it was a good concept but, not well executed.

Snowy with a Chance of Mating

This was my first time reading this author. I enjoyed the storyline and the plot of the book. Caleb is a bear shifter and Marci is a witch. When they end up in the same town sparks start to fly- like literally!! Find out why when you read this book!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A witch meets a bear

While I enjoyed this, I felt something was missing in the world building. It felt a little disjointed.
I liked that Marci was independent but I would have liked to see a little more of her skills/history in her PI venture.
We learn about Caleb and the town in bits.
I was left wondering if the townspeople liked his vision for the town or not.

Horrible! This book had so much potential with the characters and situation, but just fell totally flat because the writing was so bad. There were missed words, lots of grammatical mistakes, and it just felt like the author jumped around from one thing to another with no connection to the thoughts. It was so bad, I won't read anything by this author again :(

Short read

I got this book for free. I didn't realize it was #3 in a series, so I guess that means it reads well as a stand alone. It seemed a little slow. I felt disconnected from the characters. No real explanation about a lot of things. I wanted to know mire about the spirit. 3 stars

This was a good read. This was a great addition to the series. The storyline was interesting and the characters are fun and exciting. If you love a great romance adventure with great characters and a HEA then this story is for you.
