Jupiter

Solar Mates #3

by Tabitha Barret

Good luck hounds me like a bad hangover, but love has never been in the cards for me.

I’m only here for my friend Calla, to help set up an illegal casino and save the Silver Oak’s Retirement Home. See? Lucky enough to avoid scrutiny by the police, but not lucky enough to find the man who’ll ignite my senses.

But when a magical concert changes everything, I find myself mated to three men - a cranky, domineering dragon, a world-weary vampire, and god who throws my luck out of whack every time he’s near. And none of them want to be tied down to me, the unluckiest lucky person to set foot in Silver Springs.

Can I save the retirement home, make money with the casino, and finally mate with the loves of my life … before it all comes crashing down?

Join Jupiter on her wacky adventure in this spicy, reverse harem rom com.

Just like a lot of Silver Springs authors, I discovered Tabitha Barret through her Silver Springs stories. It's was love at first sight. She always has amazing plots with loads of excitement and epic fights and she has amazing characters, all with their own story to tell. One day I'm gonna read her entire backlist, because each and every one of her books I read I liked. I was therefore really looking forward to Jupiter and couldn't wait any longer to read the arc I've gotten.

Already while reading the first chapter I fell in love with Jupiter. She's just that kind of character you instantly like. She has a certain cheer around her, a certain positivity and on top of that she's doing some great community work. Also, she seems to have luck always on her side. For a moment I thought this was maybe gonna be a "just my luck"-AU, but it wasn't exactly that. It was something even better. You'll just have to read the book to discover why.

Just like in her other books, Barret created the perfect matches for Jupiter. All three guys are completely different, personality wise, supernatural wise and in how they jump into this relationship. And yet, they all complete a part of her, they're all something she needs. Just like she's something they each need. I loved how they also had their own story and history and how Barret took her time to have our characters talk about it.

And then there's the plot. I have to admit that it took a while before the plot became entirely clear, however, once the big bad reveals themselves the story really gets going. Barret wrote some really thrilling action scenes, with a lot going on and with our heroine both working on saving herself while also daring to ask for help, and eventually she manages to link all the different threads and questions to craft a heartwarming and lovely ending.

I WANT MORE!

I liked this one. The mix of good and bad luck was different. I also liked the connections Blaze has. It was sweet. Got a bit meh with the monologuing villains. Happy everything worked out for her. I like how smooth all the other planet names connect and line up throughout the series. The illegal casino was fun. Favourite character was Penelope. Favourite part was luck destroying the room.

So this one was a pretty interesting. We have Jupiter who seems to be like the luckiest girl in the world. Things always appear when she needs them. Huh it crazy. However, she only has one friend who seems to be there to help her out when needed. Jupiter is a free spirit and has a big heart. She goes on a date with Gavril to a Not a Vampire concert and something happens. It is quite funny though. When things start to not go her way and she finds herself attracted to Gavril, Blaze and Kit. Then Jupiter is being chased by a bad guy and she has no idea why. Then hold up we have a twist in the story that came out of nowhere. An evil fairy god mother! Holy smoke balls does the excitement increase. We find out more information about Jupiters past and like I said, she is one lucky woman. With everything that was going on, she is left picking up the pieces left in the aftermath. The question now is, will she leave Silver Springs or stay? Check out this cute story to see what happens.

But in a wierd concert on a certain magical town named silver springs, her luck takes a turn. Her luck fails and love appears! And of Couse a lucky thing never cames Alone so, why not tree mates? Só much fun. This book is just funny and the chatecters well developed. Jupiter never stops being independente but She does manage to fit all her mates in her heart now all She has to do is convince them all. As always a great Silver springs book.

Jupiter has all the good luck. She attends a concert where her luck seems to changes a little. She ends up meeting her three mates and her life is changed. Secrets are revealed and Villians come after her. Some very funny scenes and some serious steam. Great book.

[Mona Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is so much fun to read. Jupiter is the newest in the world of Silver Springs family, and this book is amazing. I had a great time reading it. The mystery surrounding Jupiter and her guys was fun.

[Helle Gade · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dayum.... Jupiter is awesome sauce with a big pinch of Luck.🍀 She rocks the old folks home and runs a secret casino in the basement. Oh and the twist in the end totally surprised me, well I knew something was fishy, but I didn't expect that.
The book was sweet, funny, HOT and a really good read.

[Debbie Eyre · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a sweet and funny addition to this awesome series. Jupiter thinks she on her own until she goes to that concert and boom! Finds her three mates. It’s exciting and very entertaining, it’s hilarious in places and steamy in others and then there’s also a little mystery! Action, drama and some romance and I loved it!

[Lory · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was definitely a interesting and entertaining read. A little luck can go a long way. Especially for our girl super energetic Jupiter, who seems to be luckier than the average Joe. What I wouldn't give to have some of that luck too. To bad it's just and incredible story that I have to live vicariously through Jupiter to enjoy. Ok back to my reality. I really enjoy this book so much it was such a fun read. I loved how protective Jupiter mates are, but I also liked that Juniper was so independent. With the add it action, drama, and of course the steamy romance to keep you hooked to beginning to end to make this one helluva read. Looking forward to the next book in the series. As always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are completely my own.

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book, it was so much fun! It explores if permanent good luck is a good thing. Jupiter has to deal with being lucky all the time, but her life was not always easy. This book had some twists moving the plot forward that I did not see coming, keeping you guessing how it will all unfold. Jupiter has sworn off love, and her mates are also not interested in women at the moment. However, fate has a different idea, they go through lots of interesting situations to accept what fate has in store for them. I love that she runs an underground casino to earn money for a good cause. This is another amusing read, I highly recommend you try it.
I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Jupiter has been alone all her life. She was an orphan but she has really great luck. Just when she thinks about being hungry, a man hands her a snack. When she's thirsty, a lady hands her a drink. And her random date for the Not A Vampire concert, winds up getting a buy one get one free deal on concert shirts.

Jupiter doesn't know why she's lucky. It's just always been that way for her. At the concert she meets Blaze, a dragon shifter, & Fukitsu, the God of Bad Luck. They along with Gavril, her vampirep date, turn out to be her mates.

This book was so good and has one of the best lines in any of the Silver Springs books! It talks about vampires being alive when Mozart was & that why would they like rock when they heard the legend play! Love it!

[Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ever need life to give you a break? That one good thing to keep you going? For orphan Jupiter, she’s had many experiences like that. They’ve kept her going but haven’t given her a home or a place to belong. But one concert changes all of that.

The second book in the Solar Mates season is a smash! Tabitha Barret hooks readers from page one and keeps them going. Between guessing at Jupiter’s story and figuring out where things are headed, there’s plenty of laughter, intrigue and steam. I mean there’s a dragon, gotta have some heat, yeah? This story is a great read and will keep hooked right to the end.

[Jodi Kimball · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh this book is the best! The fact that Jupiter works in a senior living facility and calls Bingo made my day, this is what I actually do, and I had to share with a few of my residents about Jupiter's underground casino (since I too gamble with my residents, haha!) Anyway, Jupiter has all the luck, literally, and happens upon all types of lucky situations, including her fated mates! All of her mates seem to have sworn off women, and Jupiter is determined to be single, but fate has other plans. This book is so fun, I wish there was more time to read more of their story. Maybe we'll get to see them again in the future!

[Noemi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jupiter is a human with a lot of good luck. By day she helps at the senior home in Silver Springs, and by night she runs an illegal casino to help her boss, the owner of the senior home, get the money to improve the building. When Jupiter gets invited to a concert, she meets her three mates, but before they can set the bond, they need to overcame a few obstacle, i.e. Jupiter's stalker and the fact that her boss is not who Jupiter thought was.

This is another quirky story in the Silver Springs universe, and I'm curious to see how the rest of the series will proceed.

I was kindly provided with an ARC by the author, but I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.

[Lexa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I will never get tired of Silver Springs. Each book makes the series bigger and better. We get so many new characters. This town has so much potential. I really enjoyed getting to know Jupiter and her mates. They are a very interesting group.

Jupiter doesn't know who she is. She does know she is very lucky. She never has any bad luck. She runs an underground casino to help her friend who owns the nursing home in Silver Springs. She thinks she has finally found a home. She is enjoying life. That is until she gets invited to a concert. This changes the direction of her life. She gets her mates and starts the journey to find out who she is.

“I’ve mix feelings with this story. A part of me love it but other isn’t convinced. It’s hard to put it in words but even though the story was funny and interesting part of me could t connect with Jupiter’s character. At some part she seemed so self absorbed like me, myself and I kind of attitude and I didn’t like that. Or maybe she seemed cruel? I don’t know how to describe it without giving details but I would have love more this story with a different attitude. So far the story was good, entertaining and hot yeah but still something was missing. The ending was unexpected and had me on the edge do that’s why I’m giving it four instead of three.”

Book 3 in the the multi author collaboration Solar Mates series! A great addition to the series - Barret is a great author who has brought me well written and fun reverse harem, paranormal romance reads that are sure to please and this is no exception! Jupiter is seemingly lucky but sometimes it's not as great as you'd thing...as she hasn't been lucky in love until something odd happens at a concert and well - things are about to change!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary reivew.

Another story by Tabitha Barrett which is really nice to read. It involves Jupiter, a girl helping out a friend. She also goes to the concert of Not a Vampire. She's in Silver Springs to help a friend for a fundraiser. This is how she meets the dragon, the vampire and a god. It is written really well and is a steamy novel. I love that btw. Also you don't have to read the other stories but there are caracters who are having a cameo so in other books you'll see them too. This is a shared universe and one I've become to love. I can't wait for more.

[Charlotte · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jupiter's book like with other Silver Springs books and the spin off series' theres plenty of laughs, great characters and a HEA story. Orphan Jupiter life is full of good fortune even if its a little bit lonely for her. Jupiter is an easy going and likable character with a crazy mix of jobs. Working in an old peoples home as well as a casino which make more sense when you read this book. She also has an eclectic mix of mates but it make for an engaging, quirky but a enjoyable read. I really liked it

[Naurarwen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jupiter has always had the best luck, it follows her around. But she's never been lucky in love, that is until a certain concert going on in Silver Springs! Jupiter is a really interesting character because whilst she seems human, you can tell there is something else going on, especially with all the luck she has. All three guys are perfect for her, in their own way. Oh, and the plot twists at the end, didn't see those coming.

I absolutely loved this addition to the Solar Mates series and can't wait to read more.

[Samantha Silensky · Rating 5 out of 5]

A little luck can go a long way. Especially for our girl Jupiter, who seems to be luckier than the average person. But at a concert her lucky streak misses a step, and that small little incident creates chaos in her life.
This book was adorable and quirky, with a combination of well rounded characters and some pretty intense action. I adored the protectiveness of her mates, but also Junipers adamant independence at being able to care for herself.

[Brenda M. · Rating 4 out of 5]

As luck would have it.
Jupiter falls into luck as quickly as you can fall out of love.
But running from a crazed stalker brings her to a chance encounter with her future. Or fortune.
How on earth could one girl get lucky enough to encounter hot guy after hot guy. Lottery tickets v are one thing, but walking talking sex on a stick guys, lucky lucky girl.
At least until fortune takes a turn and her fated mates have to help balance the scales.

[Doris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jupiter has always had such good luck. She is helping her friend Calla with her nursing home. There she meets Gavril who asks her on a date to a concert. She meets Fukitsu and Blaze in the bathroom. These three turn out to be her mates. Will she accept them? Will her she loose her Goodluck? This is a really great addition to this series we are introduced to some other characters that will be showing up in later books.

So Much Fun!

I was sooo lucky to have the chance to read Tabitha Barret’s solar Mates series contribution, Jupiter.

With opportunities of chance, Jupiter finds herself quite lucky. But when her heart is involved, her luck seems to run out.

That is until she chances across three fine make speci’mans’ who change her luck in love.

There is so much more hidden in this book, that I am afraid to take the chance and share, when it may ruin it for readers.

[Jacqueline Chappell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful story in the Solar Mates series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book from start to finish. The world building of the books in these series is always excellent as is the character development. The FMC is intriguing and I sure wish I had her luck. Her mates are engaging characters and there’s plenty of steam. Plenty of action and drama too.You can’t go wrong with this one. Definitely recommend.

[The_Book_Brat · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great quickread with plenty going for it! Jupiter has a sad backstory, she believes she’s an orphan, but still maintains her perky nature 😄 especially when she runs into trouble which seems to be pretty often 😂
She meets her 3 mates, all of whom are reluctant to accept the mating spell at first but soon fall for Jupiter! Leading to some HAWT STUFF 🔥 Together they deal with a stalker problem aswell as an ultimate betrayal!

[Monique · Rating 5 out of 5]

An incredibly fun story! As part of the Solar Mates series, Jupiter is a great addition. I really enjoyed getting to know Jupiter, and her past was quite suspicious…happy that she was able to discover that part of herself. She certainly is a lucky girl 😉 Her mates were a great mix of personalities, and I like them all! They fit well together. I enjoyed the storyline, and the little surprise at the end.

[Jasmine Voosen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jupiter by Tabitha Barrett is the third book in the Solar Mates Series and as will all of the books from these amazing Silver Springs authors, this book is awesome. I often wonder how they keep things fresh with each new entry to this unique universe, but they do. This one is no different. jupiter shies as a seemingly lucky woman who, of course meets some extremely attractive mates...Well things do take a rather unforeseen turn and brings some turmoil to this lucky lady. Read this book!!!!

[Margaret · Rating 5 out of 5]

What to do when the luckiest woman in the world has her luck turn on her? Jupiter is running an illegal gambling parlor in the basement of the local retirement center to help her friend Calla raise money for improvements. Everything's going beautifully and then her lifelong great luck changes and she doesn't know why. Throw in hunky men, friends who aren't what they seem, and a mate spell and you know life is up for grabs.

[Michele · Rating 5 out of 5]

A first I thought Jupiter's life was playing out as a video game as she kept finding exactly what she needed and crazy things happening after she thought it. The truth is much more interesting especially when she encounters her mates and the subsequent problems that occur when opposite attract. I did not see the twist coming but the ending was perfect. Little snips of the other Solar Mates was a nice little plug.
