Summary

What do a firefighter, a Fire Fae, and a husky shifter have in common? They all want a bite of Candela’s cupcake....

Hi! I’m Candela, and I own the best cupcake shop in Silver Springs - before my reputation got ruined, anyway. Lately all of my cupcakes have been coming out burnt, my smoke detectors are on the fritz, and my husky companion named Jasper won’t stop barking at customers. When I thought it couldn’t get any worse, my favorite Christmas candle sets my shop on fire!

With no choice but to close up for the day, I decided to release some stress at Silver Spring’s skating rink. You’d think that would chill me out - wrong! Apparently I’m a magnet for trouble because I’ve been hit by a mate spell and now I’m trapped between three guys who all want a taste.

Shane - the firefighter who wants to start my fire instead of quench it.

Jasper - my husky who turns out to be a shifter...he took showers with me, the pervert!

Lance - a sexy-as-sin Fire Fae who said his brother Titus sent him to my world to recover fire magic that didn’t belong to me, and now, it's running rampant in Silver Springs. That sounds about right.

Send help, because these guys are going to burn me to a crisp!

Candela is a stand-alone paranormal comedy romance with a mystery to solve and a guest appearance of a delicious Fire Fae from the Elemental Fae universe - Titus’ brother!

This story is part of the Silver Springs shared universe and can be listened to in any order.

Scroll up to listen to this steamy paranormal romance today.

A story you can easily fall in love with!

“The Silver Springs world is absolutely fantastic. I’ve read and listen to different stories and each one is unique and a great addition to the world. Candela wasn’t the exception! The moment I read the blurb knew it was going to be an epic journey and I wasn’t wrong though listening it rather than reading was even more special. Bonus point for the dual narration! Vanessa and Zacahry did an outstanding job portraying each one of the characters feelings, emotions and their connection. It was funny and guaranteed of ste*my moments *wink wink*. Something important to is that Candela wasn’t just about sm*t but it had ended a great plot with mystery and detective vibes!”

When her own shop goes up in smoke, Now she is homeless. To cheer herself up she goes skating and her mate bond activates. Now she has three mates and a mystery to solve.
This is a great read. I look forward to listening more by this author.

Baskerville Book Reviews

Candela is a nice mix between “romance” (smut) and a coherent plot. It’s short and sweet and doesn’t overstay its welcum.

While it’s book 11 in the series and I haven’t read (or listened) to any of the others, I never had trouble following along. It’s obvious that you’re reading part of a larger story, but it doesn’t hinder the one that this book is trying to tell.

Overall the narrators did an excellent job. It’s always a treat when a book uses a different narrator for each character. The only issue with the narration I had was the narrator who kept mispronouncing Caramel. Carmel is a mountain, not a sweet. It’s annoying as hell that this mispronunciation hasn’t been stomped out yet.

A fantastic listen mixed with everything

Book 11 in the series by J.R Thorn . It’s a great paced listen. They listen will grab you from the beginning and you won’t be able to put it down . The story takes place in a town called Silver Springs,
Heroine is Candela . It’s not like most JR books , in this one she human , she has the best cupcake bakery in Silver Springs. There are paranormals , a fae , a shifter and a human firefighter who not only want a cupcake but also want Candela for there own . Candela knows all about paranormals , it doesn’t schock her or the town. The human who wants her is Shane and he is the firefighter. She doesn’t know what came over them all to want to join . Grab it and see you’ll love it

I love the narrators Vanessa Moyan and Zackery Johnson . They both brought the characters to life , you were able to tell who is who by their tone

Sweet romcom RH

This was a really sweet romcom story about Candela, the cupcake shop owner, finding her mates.

Candela is a human, but she can see the supernatural stuff happening in Silver Springs even though she shouldn't. Someone seems to be ruining her reputation by framing her for a series of fires, but she meets fireman Shane who wants to help her clear her name.

To distract herself she goes skating, and then all of a sudden the attraction she felt solidify into a mate bond, and then she has 3 mates helping her clear her name.

I enjoyed the story, a little bit of 'who done it', 3 sexy mates and a whole load of cameos from other residents.

The narration was good, I live when there are separate male and female voices as it always pulls me into the story more.

nice story

First I would like to mention I did read this book also so I already knew the story. Candela is living her life with Jasper, her husky. But suddenly things are heating up in a bad way. Fires spread but there is Shane, a firefighter who Candela really likes. Things however change after wearing the skates. I love a duo doing the audio parts. Only thing was to me the lady spoke really fast. I would of liked it a bit slower. great job though.

Sexy guys and cupcakes 🙂

I really love listening to books from the silver springs library and this one was very good. I loved the characters and the story was great. What more could a girl need when she has a hot fireman , a even hotter fire fae and a sexy shifter oh and cupcakes that sounds like perfection to me 🙂

Mmm

Overall a good novel. The reverse harem aspect was a little off to me as the three males were quite flat / similar. Am unsure whether that was from the writers pov or the narrators though. The storyline was steady and the extra epilogue helped build all the characters better.
