About this book

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year.

The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better.

Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.

When a sticky situation puts Celtic witch Mattie Sharpe on forest ranger Gunnar Briggs’s radar, he expects a quick return to normal. Instead, he finds himself tangled up with Mattie in ways neither of them anticipated.

Gunnar likes his life simple. As a bear shifter, he understands territory, patience, and recognizing what’s worth guarding. What he doesn’t understand is why the fiercely independent witch with the finest honey in the region keeps looking at him like he’s after her hives.

Mattie has built her life with care—her bees, her thriving honey business, her hard-won peace. She doesn’t need a broad-shouldered ranger lingering near her property. And she definitely doesn’t need the distraction of a grumpy shifter who seems far too comfortable buzzing around her business.

Too bad neither of them planned on getting caught in something sweeter—and far more dangerous—than either of them expected.

A Bear Shifter And A Witch That Controls Bees .... CUTE!

First Impressions: I can't believe this is the 18th book in the series. Like most of the Nocturne Falls stories you can technically read these as standalones as every book is a new romance with a new couple, but I definitely think you will appreciate this store more if you have read the previous books, in particular one of the Jayne Frost (Nocturne Falls Spin off Cozy Mystery series), as this is where you first meet Blueberry, the imp that causes all the chaos in this one. General Review The...

Cute romance

I love Nocturne Falls books! They have romance, mystery, adventure, comedy; what's not to like? I also like that they're not explicit. I enjoy those, too, but not all the time. These are cute and sweet, like a little hit of happiness. Like puppies and kittens. I feel better after reading them. Thank you, Kristen. )
