Nita Islas wants to find love. She's tired of the superficial relationships and is ready to give true romance a try. She uses the Paranormal Dating Agency and hopes they can help her where all others have failed. What she didn't expect was to find her date flat on his back in nothing more than a towel.
Ky Stone has been in love with curvy and funny Nita since they were in High School. When she moved away, she took his heart with her. Then one day Ky wakes up to find her leaning over him. He's sure he's died and gone to heaven. He has no idea what she's doing there, but he's sure as hell not letting her leave.
Fate, meddling family and the PDA have brought them together again. The chemistry between them is explosive. But there's problems with Ky's neighboring clan and he's keeping secrets from Nita. He needs to find a way to open up to her or lies and unexpected danger could tear them apart... forever.

This is another cute book in this series. It was a quick read. I think I read it in two hours, maybe less. Once again we have Gerri Wilder, the owner of the Paranormal Dating Agency, playing matchmaker. She does ask a lot when she sets you up. She wants you to completely trust her and keep an open mind. Not a bad idea when going into a new relationship.
Nita Islas wants to find someone who wants her for her. She doesn’t want to have to fake it. I can’t blame her. Who does?? She wants someone who she will connect with besides just sex. She wants to find someone she can talk with and be comfortable around. She wants what her cousin, Talia, has with her two men.
Ky Stone has changed a lot since he was a stuttering, scrawny teenage boy that fell in love with Nita while they were in school. That is until she moved away. Then when his sister sets him up for a blind date. He was in his kitchen when someone comes in and knocks him out cold. When he wakes up, he is staring into the face of the girl of his dreams, the girl he’s loved since he was fourteen. Was he dreaming? But, she doesn’t recognize him. What to do?
This is another cute addition to the story. Ky isn’t real smart the relationship department, though he is a genius at many other things, he decides to keep his secret, which you know will bite him on the ass. This is the big source of conflict between the two. There is also some issues with neighboring bear clans fighting over territory and fishing rights.
*I would like to thank Angel’s Guilty Pleasures for loaning me this ebook.

I’m Melanie and I live in Ohio. I have two horses and a dog. I’m an animal lover, avid book reader and audiobook listener. I like to live vicariously through fictional characters. I enjoy reading and listening to mostly fictional books in the paranormal genre, including Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance and Horror. My favorite paranormal creatures are shifters, doesn’t matter the flavor.
This sounds like a great series for when you don’t have a ton of time to read but still want something more meaty than a novella. Wonderful review!
That is a great description of this series. I quick, fun read. Not every book you read needs to be deep or full of substance. Sometimes just a fun quick read is all you need. 🙂

Ky sounds like an adorable geek. Lol. Also when will anyone learn that secrets tend to come out in the most disastrous way?
You would think that people would learn that keeping secrets from their significant others. I really liked Ky, even if he needs to learn some relationship rules.

I enjoyed the 1st book. Glad to hear the 2nd book is also enjoyable. I need to continue with this series soon.

Glad I could add more bulk to your TBR list. 🙂

Their meeting definitely sounds interesting! I would be curious to see how that one worked out!
It was a cute and quick read.

Cute! I don’t think I read this one yet. I’ve been skipping around a lot in this series. I think my favorite was Scaling the Dragon.

I have this need to read series in order, even when I don’t have to. I very rarely read out of order, though it does happen sometimes.

I read this one and loved it. I am really liking this series.
It has been a cute series so far. I do need to get to more of these books.
Melanie recently posted…Review: Beyond Ecstasy by Kit Rocha (@mlsimmons, @kitrocha)
Those covers look so similar, and I have the worst memory
They do all look the same. When I was putting them on there, I had to look really closely to make sure I didn’t accidentally double one up or miss one.

Very nice review. Glad that you enjoyed. Ms. Taiden’s PDA series is great when you just want something short, quick, and sexy to fill some time. I like to pick them up, especially after heavy reads just to chill.
They are great for that. I need to read more of them. I will need them after my next book for review which is over a 1000 pages. I’ll need something quick after that. LOL
Melanie recently posted…Review: Beyond Ecstasy by Kit Rocha (@mlsimmons, @kitrocha)
Just shoot me an email when your ready to read more and I’ll loan them out to you or something else in my kindle if you like.
Happy the series is going good. I really need to get back to reading paranormal.
I love paranormal stuff. It is my escape from reality for a while. 🙂
Melanie recently posted…Review: Beyond Ecstasy by Kit Rocha (@mlsimmons, @kitrocha)
Awe, I like the sound of this. These sound like the perfect quick reads for in between heavier stuff 🙂

It is nice to have those short and sweet books between some of the darker and harder ones. I had to hunt down an Eve Langlais book to read this weekend to read and listened to a Molly Harper after finishing IT by Stephen King.

I loved the 1NS books for the matching romances. There fun for that alone. Poor guy and his crush and now she’s there. These look light and entertaining.
I like finding light and entertaining series that I squeeze in between some of the darker books that I like to read. It give me a breather, which is really nice.

I think I fell in love with the hero a little bit thanks to your review. I’ve only read one Milly Taiden story and I’m trying to include more, but there are so many books and so little time! Great review 🙂
He was very cute. I liked him a lot too. 🙂

I’ve been in the mood for a shifter book! PNR like this seems to be just so much fun!

So far, they have been very cute reads. I need to pick up more of them.

I love this premise, Melanie. Of course him keeping his secret will bite him in the ass but I do like that Nita was able to fall for him (I’m assuming) without the baggage of knowing who he was. She gave him that same thing she was wanting from a relationship. A win-win for them both! 🙂
It does turn out with a happy ending (one thing that should always happen with a romance). It was a win-win for them both. I enjoyed this story a lot. It was cute and fun read.

Keeping secrets in books always comes back to bite them later. It does sound like a fun and cute series. The paranormal dating agency idea sounds very interesting. And that’s nice you got to lend this book from another blogger.

It was nice for Angela to share her books with me. I do like the idea of the paranormal dating agency. I need to read more of the books to see where it goes from here.

This sounds like it’s a really fun read! I might have to try one of these someday. I see the authors name all the time. Can I just say how fast you are as a reader? Two hours for 189 pages is impressive!
They are quick fun reads. I need read more of her work.

This sounds fun. I love geeks and nerds. I have been kind of off PNR and novellas. Novellas sometimes are too short for me to feel the characters so I’m glad this is a good series. My TBR is so big right now I’ll have to save it for later. Anne
This is a fun, quick series to fit in between those longer, deeper books. I like to fit quick reads between those tougher reads.
