Will this whirlwind romance get in the way of the mystery she has yet to solve? There is someone in town cursing animals with dark magic, causing her shop to become a land of misfit pets.

Sometimes it happens. You start a book in the morning, convinced that you will easily be able to finish it during the day and then all of a sudden everyone at works needs you. I was contemplating to finish reading this ARC tomorrow, but once I picked up where I left this morning I had a really hard time quitting. Which is probably saying a lot about the book and story.
Calluna is a wonderful main character. It's easy to like her and to understand what she's going through and facing. What I found really refreshing is that she clearly loves her curves and body. There's no insecurity there. She's hot and she knows it. There are not many big girls like that in books. That doesn't mean she doesn't know shame, because it seems she doesn't like crying and feeling emotional. I guess that only makes her more endearing.
However, although Calluna and her men were really interesting and although I liked it that they took the time to bond and spend time together, I had the feeling that the plot was only given a backseat. A few times I caught myself wishing we'd get back to the mystery of the cursed animals instead of reading another sex scene. The finale did make up for all the waiting, though. When all the pieces of the puzzle clicked it was epic and filled with loads of action AND an opening for another book and more story.
The guys also made up for the plot taking a backseat. All four of Calluna's guys were very different and unique. Not only because they were different species, but also because Arthur really managed to give them all a different personality. When it comes to Calluna they're all protective and caring, but they also have their own unique ways of loving her or telling her that they love her. I would love to read more about them, their dynamic and the challenges they will without a doubt face.
And I can't wait to read the next book in the series! Dahlia seems like a really interesting character and I can't wait to get to know them better!

Calluna is everything! 🔥❤️🔥
She is fierce and sassy and I love her. She uses her magic to help animals who have been cursed. She meets some pretty fantastic (and sexy 😉) men throughout the story. The heat level is smoking 🔥. Overall this is my favorite story so far!

*Spoiler Alert*
Owner of Beastie Besties Pet shop Calluna (FMC) gets an influx of animals being spelled with dark magic. Being a changeling with dark magic herself she sets about to help them. Which brings a fennec fox shifter - Rhett and his boyfriend meerkat shifter - Damien when Rhett gets hit with dark magic and needs help. Who both turn out to be more to Calluna than she could have imagined. As well as bouncer - Landyn who she has complicated relationship with and Angel - Elias. My god did love Calluna in her friend Roses books and i was dying to get my hands on Calluna's own book. It didnt disappoint. Its a great book with plenty of laughs a few given by her friend and workmate Lars. Love him. Other sources of laughs was the flying d**k that cant get up (lol) and the flying d**dos. Cracked me up lol. Such a good read

Wonderful author , wonderful book!!!

Jewels gave us another incredible plus sized heroine and an extremely steamy story! As an animal lover, I would have to say that they were the best part of the book with all of their quirks after being uncursed. This book was filled with darkness, mystery, and tons of pets.
Calluna is honestly the best- snarky, confident in her own skin, and a huge animal lover with her own pet store, Beastie Besties. Lars had to be my favorite character with his upbeat, humorous, and loving personality. Out of her guys I think I liked Landyn and his troubled past the best. Damien and Rhett were equal for me and they make each other whole while Elias gave up the most to be with her.
The steam was turned all the way up and the mystery of the cursed animals kept me intrigued along with the twists and turns. There is a trigger warning for animal cruelty, but it isn’t done by any of the main characters. I loved seeing Rose and everyone at Vee again and I can’t wait for more of Jewels’ characters in the future!
Christine did a great job with this narration. She brought Calluna’s snark to life and all of the steamy scenes. It was easy to tell who was narrating each chapter whether it was Calluna or one of her men. I liked that the male voices weren’t forced and that the Spanish wasn’t butchered because in all honesty I probably would’ve done it.

I'm undecided... I don't know if I love Calluna or Rose more. What did you do to me Jewels Arthur? How can I decide now?
Calluna is the owner of Silver Springs' pet shop. When someone starts to mess up pets with dark magic, she decides to solve the mystery, and meets her 4 mates, a meerkat, a fox, a fallen angel and a griffin (Hint: we know the griffin from Rose: Feelin Thorny). While finding the culprit who is cursing animals, Calluna will also find out more about who she is and where she comes from.
I was kindly provided with an ARC by the author, but I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.

“Our souls have bonded. Those are the emotions you are feeling. I give you everything I have, everything I am. We are now one. Darkness meets darkness.”
OMG!! I love this soooo much. Calluna, she was such a fun character. She was a complete sassmaster, fun, comfortable with her own skin. Everything I wish to be lol. I love that she is an animal lover and takes care of them. She has a diverse group of guys by her side and a lot of MM action! Such an incredible addition to the Silver Springs Collection!

A quirky supernatural romance
I enjoyed this, the creativity was fantastic! I loved the various curses on the animals, some of the effects were fun to imagine. I also really liked the variety of supernaturals in this cast; I've never read about a meerkat shifter before. The overall plot was wholesome, with enough darkness to give it an edge of action.

Sex, relationship drama and cursed animals. Multiple POV, four guys and heavy on the m/m. I liked the couple but the other two I didn’t really think much of. Favourite part was with Jake. I’m curious who Dhalia is gonna hook up with.

Funny
Calluna owns the pet store known for its unusual pets. When a freak accident causes her mates to come to her for help she is suddenly thrust into a relationship that is already going on between them.

Calluna who owns the pet store in Silver Springs is on a mission! There is someone who is cursing animals with black magic. So she is doing her best to help them when they show up in her store. Her friend Lars convinces her to live her life and go out. She is always trying to help these animals but doesn't do anything herself. However, she is keeping a secret about herself. So she finally goes out and meets Landyn. Whoa was that hot!! Like scorching, however it was one night. Then she meets Rhett and Damian one night and not in a nice or fun way. She also notices that there is a store in Silver Springs that deals in dark magic? Does this have anything to do with the cursed animals? She also meets Elias outside that store and that meeting was interesting. During all this time she reads Love Blooms and thats when she notices the bond with all these guys. Obviously, you cannot control who your fated mate is. There is a lot of mystery, suspense and scorching hot times through out this book. Everything that happens didn't come easy but we do get a happily ever after. You will definitely love this installment of the spell library series.

I love jewels Arthers writing and the way she writes to draw you in to the story. having you wanting more and I was not be disappointed as I couldn't put it down.calluna who's a bit of a recluse and doesn't go out mush runs the beastie besties with her hunkie gay best friend Lars.I loved there banter between one another and found Lars a hoot the way he made calluna go for a night out to vees to let her hair down as she would rather stay with her pets than go out.meets landyn the Griffin shifter who work as a security guard at vee and ends up having a passionate night together which she thinks nothing off but with a mystery book lupine leaves at her store things start to change for her and she's got more to think about than cursed animals.Suddenly there are more men showing up claiming to be her mate which at one point she's is so confused with every things that is going on.this book is jam packed with action that will have you at the end of your seat that you won't suspect what is going on till the end.I also loved the fact that you got to see rose in the story and the lovable whitaker men and some of the great character from jewels cafe that ties in to eash book.

This multi author series is getting so good. I am enjoying these very much. Not only are we getting to read different authors and getting to see their writing styles we are getting funny awesome stories.
In Calluna we have our female lead Calluna who runs the pet store in Silver Springs. She helps all the animals that she can. She is trying to track down who is using black magic to curse animals. One of her friends tries to get her to go and have a good time. Every one needs a break sometimes right? So she does and meets the Hot Landyn. They have a good one night together. But then she meet two other hot men and not in the way she would want to. She does not have time for all this romance she has a bad guy to find. But what if it is all connected? What if she keeps running into these guys for a reason? What if it has to do with fated mates?
This is another fun read I could not put down from this silver springs series. I would highly recommend this series.

DNF not for me
The blurb got me interested, the actual "plot" I found disappointing. This story, if we can call it that, is erotica. There is so much smut that the 5 lines of the plot are buried. I have nothing against smutty stories but they should at least be worth reading. All I came out with in my skimming, during said scenes, was a reference to tonsil removal and breathing through the pain. Hot it is not.
Luna is meant to be 35 years old, I'm shocked, she sounds like an 18 year old (my apologies to 18 year olds) let loose for her first ever spring break. Point me to a 35 year old woman who wouldn't shower for two days after going at it with a stranger in a club..... Cringe worthy.

I have been following the Silver Springs series and absolutely loved this installment. Calluna is a sassy, curvey, caring with a hint of dark magic lady in her 30's. She runs the pet store with her ultra sexy but unavailable as he is gay best friend. She is battling to save animals that have been cursed with dark magic.
I love the interactions with her men - This installment has a good storey but also has a lot of heat and sizzle action, Wonderful diverse characters , lots of twists and turns, Once you start reading you wont be able to put this brilliant book down.

“I have these new spelled dildos. Just say his name, and I can send them straight to him. They’ll fly straight through the air at him in a swarm, like the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz, and slap him right in the face. If he really fucked up, I could add in some extras.” She smiles at me, placing her hand on my shoulder. “Just say the word.”
This book was a lot of fun. Hilarious and sweet. I read it super fast. I wish there was another one! I love dark and series books, but sometimes you just need something fun. And I always love a plus size main female, not an easy thing to find!
My biggest complaint is I wanted it like twice as long. When I read RH I like to read scenes where the MC is with all of her mates separately and that didn't happen in this book, it just wasn't long enough for that. I think it really needs a second book for it to feel like a complete story.
The guys in her harem were great! I enjoyed that they weren't typical. I've never read one where the guys were smaller shifters, I thought that was kind of fun.
I also plan on checking out more books in this world/series by other authors.
“Oh, I do apologize, Ms. Daisy. I do declare that the young fellow surely must have boned you with quite an enormous cock. Toodle pip!”

Calluna is the feisty owner of the Beastie Besties pet store. She is also a Changeling which has its benefits when things start to turn crazy in town and someone starts using black magic on the local animals and sometimes shifters. Adding in some more crazy is the fact four different type of sexy men each claim her as their mate. Is it the book that someone gave her the reason for the heat?
Read to find out if Calluna can stop the evil of darkness, deal with the sexy mates and save the town of what will make you say "that didn't just happened." Expect the craziness of the mating call, the evil darkness and the hilarity of friendships.

Calluna/Luna/Callie as her mates nickname her is the owner of the Silver Springs pet store. Between someone cursing animals and her comfortable stay at home life, Calluna doesnt have time or desire for much more, except maybe some *fun*. She reads Love Blooms and suddenly she's being claimed by 3 shifters and an angel. I liked the idea of the guys being together before they were mated and then opening the relationship to welcome her. I did not expect the bad guy to be who it was and was almost sucked in to it being someone else.
June 6, 2020
I absolutely love Calluna and all the animals! Each of the characters in Silver Springs are so different, I love how Calluna was relatable. The mystery of the cursed animals kept me on my toes; All while Calluna was connecting with her 4 hot mates. I enjoyed her relationships with the guys as well as the secondary characters. I could read a whole story with Lars and be just as happy! I would love to read a full series about these guys and can't wait to see what else happens in Silver Springs.
June 6, 2020
I loved meeting Calluna! She’s a pet store owner in Silver Springs and animals are turning up cursed all over town, so she’s trying her best to cure them but the leave recovered but with some quirks! Calluna is a tough, strong and intelligent character but has a definite huge heart!! I loved meeting Calluna’ men and watching the relationship and friendships develop between them. This book had romance, intrigue and twists and turns I didn’t expect!!
June 7, 2020
I love this series! It is such an amazing mix of characters, and this book is no exception. I love Calluna. She has such a good heart in trying to help all the cursed animals. She fights for what she wants and who she loves. Her guys are an interesting mix, and I love the established relationship between Rhett and Damian. That was an interesting twist and really added to the story. I cannot wait to see what happens next in this shared universe.
June 11, 2020
She sexy and she know it!!! Omg I absolutely loved Calluna as always it's great to see a bbw character in a positive light as she finds her HEA with her mates. I especially liked the friendship between her and her bff Lars it was hilarious as hell to watch. I wasn't expecting the mystery and suspense in this book but it made for a interesting read. Add in the MM interaction between her mates Rhett and Damian and we have a helluva read. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

Another awesome, sassy paranormal read from the Silver springs universe! This one is about Calluna and her pet shop and a mystery of who is cursing the animals with dark magic! Throw in a little romance with a meerkat shifter, a fennec fox shifter, a fallen angel, and a griffin shifter and you have a scorching hot story! Magic, mystery, suspense, romance and some hot and sexy times makes this an awesome addition to this series!
June 17, 2020
A paranormal romance that will make you laugh and fall in love. Calluna is definitely a unique character. She keeps what she is even from her best friend. But that secret may make things dangerous for her. Then there is the cursed animals. Who is doing it? But Calluna has a very soft spot for animals and tries her best to help him. But her love life is pretty much non existent. But Love Blooms will change that. That little paperback book is making its way everywhere and leaving love behind. Expect some extremely hot and sexy scenes as this an RH with some m/m action too.
June 7, 2020
Luscious and loving it
Calluna is a hoot! I loved her chemistry with her men, and how she “collected” each of the. The MM interaction between Rhett and Damian is hot as sin, and Landyn and Elias are pretty fly all on their own. I’m loving the Silver Springs world and all the fun interactions with characters from the other books.

From the moment that I started reading this, I was hooked. It moves along at a great pace making for an enjoyable read. The characters are amazing and you will fall in love with them and you want to see them overcome whatever may get in their way. The story will grab you and keep you reading and when you get to the end you want to read more. This is a must read, no doubt about it.

Jewels Arthur is a great Author! Calluna is even better than Rose and Rose is pretty awesome! The steamy levels are off the charts. So much man candy... Wow.She s the owner of a pet store and she cures cursed animals! How cute is that? And calluna is so cool. Her powers are funny and then you discover that she is actually pretty strong! I love her harem Damian and Rhett are so good together and the Landyn and Elias... So much maleness... A must read!
