The confident playboy who never promised more than one night.
Back in college he was my friend, and the boy who couldโve broken my heart, if Iโd trusted him with it. Instead, I chose his best friend. The last time I saw him, he looked at the heart I held in my hands and walked away.
It hadnโt been my heart.
It had been his.
A decade later, Callum and I are thrown together under the African sun. We're here to save animals, but this could be a second chance with the boy whose heart I still hold.
But can I trust him with mine?

Annie Dyer is a new-to-me author, and this is a very good introduction to her books. Although this is not the first in the series, I had no issues reading it before the previous ones.
I thought the buildup in this second chance romance was well-paced because of their history. Iโm not keen on instalove stuff that gets an about-face at the end of a story, or too much of a slow burn.
Callum is the perfect hero in my mind i.e. the damaged kind (yes, I unabashedly love them). Wren is a surprise, I thought I had her pegged then she delivered on different fronts. Callumโs family is strongly featured, I enjoyed reading their banter.
Am definitely going back to read the rest of the series.

Another fab instalment in the Callaghan Green series. This one concentrates on Callum, who has only been a peripheral presence in previous books, and Wren, the woman from his past whose reappearance brings up all sorts of complicated emotions for both of them. As ever, thereโs the snappy dialogue and detailed characterisation that Annie Dyer does so well, plus evocative descriptions of Africa and a relationship that develops beautifully and realistically. Recommended.

Annie Dyer continues to add great characters to this series. I loved Wren and I loved the second chance she and Callum had to find their HEA. Sometimes in life when the answer is no it can difficult to understand the why but in this story the โwhyโ becomes apparent and it led to a bond and a strength this couple wouldnโt have had otherwise. The family keeps growing and I keep falling in love with them all over again with each book added to the series.

This book OMG! I have read every book by Annie Dyer and every time I pick a favorite she writes another one. Callum was always the distant Callaghan so I wasnโt sure if I would like his book. I should have known better!
I was hooked right away. Callum is by far the most complicated and possibly the most damaged. The walls he built up seemed impossible to scale. Enter Wren who was not ready back in the day for all that is Callum.
I not only loved their story but their evolution. I will be re reading this as it is a stunner!
I think I love Callum more then Seph who was my favorite from book 1.

Gorgeous. Charming. Broken. Callum Callagan has the career he dreamed of and his choice of women to spend time with. He keeps his heart well guarded, never settling down and never committing. When he signs up to star in a documentary in Africa he never dreams that he will be paired up with the one woman who broke his heart: Wren. His college best friend and true love. Wren has successfully avoided Callum for the past ten years but once they are reunited, things heat up fast and Wren has to decide. She wasn't ready for the boy Callum was ten years ago but can she love the man he has turned into?
I absolutely love this series and I was so excited to get Callum's book!! I had so many questions about this charming, elusive brother. Once again, Annie Dyer wrote a steamy and emotional story with lots of heart and humor (oh, those family texts!!). Plus we get to catch up with all of our favorite Callaghan siblings (hello Seph!). Definitely a five star book!

Mythical Creatures is an excellent addition to the already amazing Callaghan Green series by Annie Dyer.
I absolutely loved Wren & Callum's second chance story. Callum is a broken spirit, excelling in his career that different than the path of his siblings, and figuring out where he fits in within his own family. Wren seems to be a broken spirit as well. Never settling down, she floats from job to job only accepting short term vet contracts. A work opportunity forces these two former college friends to confront their paths.
This book has so much to offer - a steamy second chance love, hilarious group chats, heart felt family moments and amazing scenery while Wren and Callum are on location.
I cannot wait for the next one!

To be totally honest I was nervous about this book. Vets just donโt normally do it for me like lawyers, but Iโve really enjoyed the rest of the Callaghan- Green series so I gave this one a try. Iโm SO glad I did! Callum was so different than what I thought he would be. I really enjoyed Callum and Wrenโs story. I loved learning about their history together and what led them to their eventual happily ever after. This is one of the best family series I have read! I love that we get to catch up with the rest of the family in each book. I canโt wait for Sephโs book!!

I absolutely loved this addition to the Callaghan family. I have to admit I wasnโt sure about the vet theme because I havenโt read books with the vet theme before. However I can tell you without a doubt that I absolutely adore Callum and Wren.
Their journey to each other is not an easy one and I will not lie, there are times where I genuinely wanted to bang their heads together along with cursing at Annie for hurting my heart. I didnโt like seeing their anguish, the pain and the hurt. However Annie redeemed herself as there are also some of the sweetest, hottest and sexiest moments too and that made me smile. There is something truly magical about these characters and their family.
I am so excited to see more from this author!

I was so looking forward to this book and it was everything I thought it would be and more! I have one major problem though, I finished it too quickly! They very first page had one of my favourite lines in the book and I knew this book was going to be amazing, it also reveals how close Callum is to his mum Marie and the bond they have. Callum has always been a bit of a mystery and by the end of the book he is a mystery no more!ย If you love the Callaghan-Green series as much as I do you have plenty of appearances from all the favourites. The family chats are as always hysterical! If I could give this book 10 stars I would. I can not wait for Seph's book!ย I never want this series to end! I was very lucky to receive an early copy of this book.

This is not my first book by Annie Dyer but it is the first in The Callaghan series. It did not disappoint. This story brings so many feelings to the table for which I was unprepared . Feel them I did.
Callum, the handsome, playboy of sorts,veterinarian, had so much more going on inside of him then we see. He kept his emotions so closed off to most. However, what everyone took as his man whorish ways was just a means of protection for others as well as himself.
Wren, was a simplistic beauty, who had her own issues to deal with when it came to trust.
Together these two beautiful tortured souls found true friendship, a commonality of love of all creatures and the adventure of discovering the worldโs beauty. During the my reading (which I flew through) I got to experience places in glorified detail and treated to the majestic nature of the earth and itโs non human inhabitants. This book is more than just a love story. It was a guide to what the earth has to offer and how we should show respect.
One of the most important aspects of this story is how relatable and real it is to everyone of us. What do I mean? Well, how many of us are affected by our past. We donโt even realize how much we are shaped during our childhood years. The people raising us probably have no idea the way their actions affect us, Therefore we are left with the effects without anyone being none the wiser. We fail to properly communicate with one another and are left to our own devices to figure things out. We take these feelings into our adulthood and the circle continues. That is, unless someone notices and comes to our aid. So this book is completely relatable.
As I said earlier, this is my first Callaghan book so I met some very interesting characters and now I intend to go back and read their stories. They added great depth and clarity to the book. With that being said it is a definite standalone but why not go and enjoy them as well. They are a treat!
Besides all the goodness that Iโve already talked about you get smiles, laughter, an education, a tour of exotic vistas, a few tears, witty banter, heartfelt emails, and heat. What more could you ask for?
So I guess you can tell I liked this book. This is a family I wish I knew in real life. I looking forward to the next book and so will you once you read this story. Enjoy the beauty of these people who always reached for the stars and the majesty of the places they went. They never settled for less than they deserved. Neither should you. You deserve to read this book.

Finally we get the story of the elusive Callum, who hides behind his social media persona. This addition to the Callaghan-Green series gives us a deeper look into his back story, and more insight into the reasoning behind his playboy ways. I felt like each chapter knocked down a piece of the wall he had built around his heart. Wren was there every step of the way as he came out of his self-induced shell. The snippets of the past sprinkled throughout the story really redeemed both characters' past acts and made their love shine through.
While most of the story occurs while Callum and Wren are traveling, we still get updates on our favorites Callaghans *ahem MAX*. The group texts were hysterical and conveyed the love Callum has for his siblings. I also love his relationship with his step-mum, Marie. The references to Peter Pan were beautiful, especially knowing he shared those with her. My favorite quote was:
"I'd wondered is she was my Wendy, my grown up, love of my life, Wendy. When I was with Wren, I wasn't a lost boy any more."
I highly recommend this series and appreciate how each book lends to the depth of each character. This is a must read!

Mythical Creatures by Annie Dyer felt so right in my heart. There is no other way to describe the effects of her magical writing. A familiar yet exotic love story full of raw emotions, angst filled moments and life changing feelings. Again every word fits every emotion just right. Less would have been unsatisfactory and more would spoil the beauty of the poignant and passionate love. This story was one big moment of perfection.
I am sucker for starcrossed lovers specially if it is a friends to lovers one. Mythical Creature was my unicorn. Wren and Callum's story started in Vet School and after a bitter and painfully long disruption, they have to work together in Africa for a charity sponsored television show. Unresolved emotions hang between them like a heavy curtain. But in lap of the free, open and humblimg nature, they move it and everything comes out like a flood. Can they take the risk?
I am in love with both Callum and Wren. A strong and smart woman who knows her mind and can be a pillar of strength even with her own vulnerabilities is my weakness. And Wren is the woman. So naturally I respect her, adore her and feel inspired by her. But my heart breaks for Callum. His whole life is a tale of tragedies and abandonment and resentment. He hides his pain inside a cocky playboy exterior. His emotions are locked tight and even more confused when it comes to Wren. They lost their best friends and they do not want to lose again. But their connection is too strong, too intimate, too intense and too powerful to ignore. Their chemistry is the strongest point of this story. I had real goosebumps and tears from all the aching, wrecking and swoony moments. The slow burn, the push and pull , the desperation and the overwhelming need for each other made it an epic story.
Anni Dyer's words touched my heart deeply and I am still under the spell. A beautiful and brilliantly written romance. My heart is impossibly full and overflowing with the love and passion.

Mythical Creatures is the second book I have read of Annie Dyers. I LOVED it. Wren and Callum's story is part of the greater Callaghan Green series. I read it is as a stand-alone and am so excited to read the other books. I connected to both Wren and Callum but there is something about Callum. He spoke to me. The unresolved childhood needs that he carries with him everyday but is trying to work through hit me so hard! Wren is cautious and hoping they can make it work. Callum knows this is his only shot with her. Callum cemented his place in my heart. The letter he wrote Wren?! Oh my word! So beautiful! I cried. I was completely engrossed in their story.

This book is part of the Callaghan Green series. This is Callumโs story. He is hot and kind and sweet. Wren is his friend from the time when they were in vet school. She is beautiful, passionate about the animals, also kind and sweet. They get to do work in Africa and are filmed for a TV show. Itโs been 11 years since theyโve last seen each other, but they are able to regain their friendship and go through many situations to get their HEA. This book also brings back other characters from the family and we get an update on their lives. I canโt wait to read the bonus scenes for this book.

"To live would be an awfully big adventure."
Mythical Creatures is resplendent! Callum Callaghan damaged at such an early age, trying to find where he fits, and what he could make his. Wren, who also experienced pain at an early age, seems to have excepted everything around her; but when given an opportunity to accept a position as a large animal vet she feels claustrophobic, and bolts at the first opportunity.
When Wren and Callum get paired up to work with animals in need in Africa neither one seems overly excited about. Callum is worried about seeing Wren again, what will she say or do? Wren is her normally prickly self, and absolutely does not want to get into their past lives together.
What happens when you figure out you've both grown up, and suddenly the desires of both hearts don't seem unattainable anymore?
"When he kissed me, he became the only real thing."
If they can keep the world at bay will Wren and Callum have a shot this time, or will one of them pull a runner again?
Every time Annie Dyer adds to the Callaghan Green series I come away with a new favourite couple, and this time is no different. She weaves her story through the scenery of Africa, telling the tale of young love and feelings of abandonment with kindness and sensitivity. All the while the text messages between the Callaghan family keep things light and funny, and the steamy, sexy times fogged up my kindle!
A beautifully written story about the different kinds of love, how everyone heals at their own pace, and that a well-built family can overcome almost anything. Worth all 5 โญ's and more!

Goodness, I don't even know where to start. Callum and Wren were a perfect example of how we grow, change, but at the same time stay exactly who we are. Their romance shows how issues between people dont change but how they handle them does. The book did an amazing job at showing growth at a level I don't think I've seen before. Their story was beautifully written and I'm sad it ended but glad we'll get to see them in the future books.

Callum!! I've been waiting for Callum's book for forever or seems!! This is a fantastic book that sucks me in from the first page! I couldn't get enough of Callum and Wren! Their relationship blossomed off the page! I needed to know what was going to happen next!! I am happy to add Callum to my harem!!

Superb. A fantastic edition to the series. It had everything we like from the Callaghans, from their easy banter to the love they show for each other. The storyline between Callum is Wren was absolutely amazing and the chemistry was of the charts. The storyline itself was interesting and engaging, I throughly enjoyed this story and wish I could unread it so I can read it again for the first time.

I loved going back to the Callaghan family & was so excited to read Callum's story. He broke his family's mold by going into veterinary medicine instead of law, and vet school is where he met Wren. They were friends but he was hoping to be more at one point but she was dating a fellow student who was also friends with Callum. After school both Callum & Wren went their separate ways. A decade after they graduated from vet school Callum & Wren both signed up to do a documentary and while they were together they were able to discuss the past after a time, since Wren didn't want to talk about the past. They worked well together both on camera as well as off screen while they explored the different countries they filmed in together. There is so much more to this story than Callum & Wren falling in love, forgiveness is a huge part as well. Callum had to forgive his father as well and make peace with everything that happened in the past.
Some of my favorite parts were the Callaghan family texts as well as the interactions with Seph. I cannot wait for his book now. I also loved how close he was to his Step Mum Marie and how he related & talked to his siblings.

Finally the story of Callum and his mysterious love...Serendipity. It's the friends to lovers story that most of us can relate to...you meet in college and relate to each other on so many levels, but still part and go your own way. The coming back together was sweet and spicy... the flashbacks of both of their memories was a great way to bring their past to the present.
HE came to her with the sweetest smile and told her that he wanted to talk for a while...and there they stayed trapped in Neverland...until Africa.
If you haven't started the Callaghan series, go back and start at the beginning. This may be a stand-alone, but you don't want that, you want to stand in the circle of all of the great cast of characters and then you will truly understand Callum and you'll be hanging on for the next installment.

Mythical Creatures was an amazing addition to The Callaghan Green series!!!!
Callum Callaghan is a veterinarian who followed a completely different path then almost all of his siblings.
Wren is also a Vet who met Callum in college and dated his best friend, But after a situation arises and they go there separate ways Until 11 years later when they meet again.
(Of course there is Seph with his snarky remarks and advice that will make you wanna hug him <3 )
Will Wren and Callum pick up where they left off in the past or will Callum finally get the one woman who's had his heart for half his life? I really love Wren and Callum's story and i believe it was the perfect fit with the series.

Will Wren and Callum pick up where they left off in the past or will Callum finally get the one woman who's had his heart for half his life? I really love Wren and Callum's story and i believe it was the perfect fit with the series.

This is such a lovely story about a broken man and a young lady who wants to help him, but doesnโt know if she is strong enough!
Callum was only young when his mother died, and his dad was rarely around. Luckily his dad remarried a single lady named Marie who took on his 4 children. She loved them all, but that love couldnโt stop Callum from feeling like he was responsible for his motherโs death, and his fatherโs absence.
Wren and Callum became best friends at university, she dated his best friend, but when their relationship ended and Callum showed interested in Wren, she rejected him! They went their separate ways, but Wren was never far from Callumโs mind! As for Wren, she followed his career.
Fast forward 10 years, when they end up spending 6 weeks together doing a TV show, can they both figure out their real feelings that they have harboured since University or will Wren reject him again, afterall he is still the same broken man he was back then, the only difference being they are older now.
I have loved this whole series so far, but this book was special! โค๏ธ

October 15, 2019Mythical creatures is part of the Callaghan Green series looking at the relationship between Callum and Wren.
Callum broke the mould and followed the career he desired and became a vet, unlike the majority of the family being in the law firm, had the choice of women he wanted also but not the who stole his heart all those years ago.
When Callum ends up working with the one women from his past can he finally start dealing with his feelings and emotions? Can Wren move on and support Callum?
With snippets and follow ups from the rest of the Callaghan Green gang and the typical giggles from Seph aswell this book is a must read.

The book we've all been waiting for with Callum Callagan, does NOT disappoint! Our animal loving, world traveling almost mythical man has finally come home to work for a zoo and be closer to his family. Only he's taken a job doing some show that takes him away again. Wren, his college best friend, who he tried to have his first relationship with but she turned him down and they haven't really spoken since, is also going. There's more family texting that will have you laughing, you will finally see Callum's soft side, as he tries to win Wren over again. But she keeps him at arms length until he can figure out why he's been the way he's been with relationships. This book was so well written I read it in one sitting! Annie Dyer does it again!
I received an ARC in return for my honest review.

Callum and Wren are so much more than I expected. They knew each other in college, but their timing wasnโt right, but eleven years later? Can they move beyond their past to find out who they are now? I love watching them reconnect as if they hadnโt spent eleven years apart. I love how they are able to move into a physical relationship, but sex isnโt their entire relationship. Watching them fall in love and to feel confident in themselves and each other
The Callaghan Green series is amazing and if you havenโt read itโฆ.why not?

OMG... I have been waiting for Callum's story and as always Annie Dyer didn't disappoint! This story was everything I thought it would be. I love that Wren and Callum get a second chance at their love, and once again I love all the humor this book has! One could say that I'm in love with the Callaghan Green family. I can't wait for the next book!

Annie Dyer brings us Callum and Serendipity. The characters were well developed and I enjoyed the chemistry between them. I love the strength and independence in both characters. Their beautiful love story has so much passion and was such an wonderful read. You will be consumed till the very end.

A wonderful new addition to the Callaghan Green series! The characters in this family are amazing and their romances are so enjoyable to read.
Callum didnโt choose to follow in the footsteps of his parents or siblings by going into law, instead choosing to work with animals as a vet. He had always chosen animals to share his secrets with as a child instead of people; until he made an exception with Wren who he met while in college. Wren became his best friend and a secret love, but he ultimately pushed her away as he didnโt feel that he would be good for her.
Eleven years later, Callum has been requested to be part of a documentary that covers the care, treatment and rehab of wild animals in Africa. It turns out that Wren will be the second vet involved in the documentary. Will she again become the person that he confides in? Will she even let him get close enough to her for him to try?
This book can be read as a standalone and does have a HEA, but after reading this, youโll want to read all of Callaghan Green books to catch up on all of the characters and their shenanigans!

Mythical Creatures
The Callaghan Green Series
Annie Dyer
Callum Green the enigma, the hot vet with his own YouTube channel, the one who shunned the family business - Law, the one who always blames himself. Wren is the one who at one time left with his beating heart, his once best friend. Years have past when this talented duo are thrust together to make television under the African sun.
Callum : โThe Croc would more than likely be okay. I wasnโt sure if I would be.โ
Callum told himself he could handle it, being on a work trip with Wren. His mantra to keep it professional slipped in the first few moments when her fear of flying presented.
Wren : โI stay back and sipped on my drink. There was something scarier than flying.
Callum.
Falling in love with Callum Greenโ
Whilst the majority of this tale is set in Africa we still get to see all of the Callaghan siblings. The group texts invoked full on laughs and the love they have for each other makes you sigh. Ms Dyer writes from the heart with characters so full and beautifully flawed. There is always an adventure along the way to finding their HEA. I didnโt want this book to end, the Callaghanโs consumed me.
I received an arc of this book. This is the sixth book in the Callaghan Green Series. It can be read as a stand-alone novel with hea, but you should totally read all of these books!
5 shining stars.

โNothing good comes from needing someoneโ, but everything good comes from loving someone. Mythical Creatures is more than just a book, it is an experience. It is sexy with a slow burn and so very sweet at the same time. You will laugh, cry, and swoon, and the push and pull will keep you needing more.
Callum is the dirty and sweet playboy who is wounded by his past. He fell in love with his best friend, Wren, and when she walked away, she shattered his heart. Now years later, they have to work together in the African Savannah where they realize that they are two lost souls that found their way again.
Its more than a love story, itโs about being brave enough to love, to forgive, and make peace with your past. Like all Callahan Green books, there are multiple sub plots around the entire family and by the end of the book, you will feel like you are related.
