Midsummer Faeted Mate

by L.E. Radey

Zoe Lopez wishes her dream man, Maddox Brown, would finally ask her out. After years of hoping, she admits that the handsome fae isn’t interested in a tongue-tied, curvy librarian like her. Ready to find her happily-ever-after, she sets out to get over her crush by the summer solstice.

But fate has a plan of its own…

Maddox wishes his dream woman, the local librarian, would reveal a secret side of herself. Just a hint that the quiet ocelot shifter would be attracted to a fae like him who is anything but shy in the bedroom. When Zoe finally comes out of her shell, he realizes that she’s no timid kitten. But are their feelings more than just scorching summer heat between the sheets?


Each novella in the Holiday Hollow series is a steamy, stand-alone, paranormal romance with a happily-ever-after and no cliffhangers.

Zoe is a librarian and an ocelot shifter. She has had a crush on the Fae Maddox for almost three years. Whenever he is around, she becomes shy and tongue-tied which is so not like her. After waiting for something to happen for three years, she is ready to give up on being with Maddox and do whatever it takes to get over him. Her efforts to attract someone else seems to have gotten Maddox's attention. He is finally paying her attention but can she trust his interest?

Maddox has been interested in Zoe for three years but he has been keeping his distance. Zoe appears to be a shy and quiet girl who would not be adventurous in bed. Maddox knows he has special sexual needs which requires a woman who likes to take chances. There is no way Zoe would share his desires, right?.

Another one bites the dust.......

If you have read this series from the beginning, then you have been teased by the glimpses of the couple in this book, and you are just as happy as I am to see them finally get their HEA! This series overall so far has been absolutely fantastic, and I really hope that L.E. Radey has more books in the works. The world building is amazing and I want to see more of the places talked about in it. I highly recommend you read this series, and although these books stand on their own, I recommend reading them in order to avoid spoilers from previous books in the series. Mature eyes only due to hot 🔥 Fae/Shifter lovin'!!!

Maddox (H), a fae engineer, is attracted to Zoe (h), a librarian ocelot shifter, but hides his attraction because he's concerned that she's too timid and introverted. Zoe has been attracted to Maddox but always finds herself tongue tied and thinks he's put her in the friend zone. When she participates as part of a team triathlon, Maddox sees Zoe in a new light and realizes he may have misread her adventurous nature. The pair get to know one another better with hot and steamy action too. Cute romantic read.

I didn't start this series at the beginning, I guess it's safe to say I started at the end ;P, but it was an engaging read with characters I could certainly see as my friends and a hot chemistry that blew our couple's socks off ;D Shyness, assumptions and friend support all circle around Zoe and Maddox, making their romance not take a smooth path but they did find their way to a smoking hot love. This story was lighthearted and entertaining....and now I need to head back to the beginning of the series. Lol!

Fae Maddox and ocelot shifter Zoe both had crushes on each other for three years but never approached the other. An event they participate in opens the line of communication finally and then the steam ignites. Loved the characters and vivid locales. The storyline had a good pace and a lot of detail to totally immerse into. Really enjoyed the transition into more as all the hurdles disappear between them. Terrific ending that brings it all together.

Midsummer Faeted Mate is a fun fast romance that will have you lost in the story as Zoe and Maddox give up on what they think and take a chance and get to know each other.

I love the character and their connection is sweet and steamy. This is a great story from start to finish.
