4.75 stars for Magical Pistachio Macarons by @DonnaKunkel3 #pnr #paranormalromance #bookreview



Title: Magical Pistachio Macarons

Author: Donna Kunkel

Genre: Paranormal Romance


Book Blurb:


Victoria, a rich, shapeshifter wizard, uses her cat form to spy and gather evidence on those intent on breaking the law. Once the DA has her evidence and files charges, she exposes the criminals in a series of newspaper articles. She hates how these people continually evade the law by buying off witnesses or making the evidence disappear. Especially the vile man she’s currently investigating.


Dragon, a bodyguard from wizarding security, tackles Victoria out of the way of an attempted hit-and-run. He and her roommate confront her about the threatening notes she’s been receiving. He’d like to take her away to a safe house, but she has other plans. How can he protect her when she refuses to take the danger seriously? Will they manage to work together before it’s too late?


Even magic can’t keep her safe…can he?


My Review:


Next time I will get 1st pick for the cookie book in the office lol. It appears Kris got the one I wanted to read, and I got this book. This is a solid suspenseful romance. The main thread here is suspense and action. The heroine is driven to right wrongs. The almost all-encompassing core of her being is battling to take down those who do wrong.


The action scenes and investigative scenes are strong and are the central focus of this book. An edge of your seat nail biter that will engross a reader. The interaction between Dragon and Victoria is well written. There is heat right away and they develop a powerful relationship.


If there is an issue here, it is that this story seems only to happen at Christmas. Christmas isn't a focus or major theme here. Corruption seems to be the decorations that adorn this writing. Not the biggest focus on cookies either but that is neither here nor there.


If you are a fan of the Christmas cookie series, you will want to read this book. It is well written and an original approach to this themed series. An excellent action suspense book with romance too.


My Rating: 4.75 stars
