I invite you to read Destiny’s Spring, one of the books in The Wild Rose Press ‘Jelly Beans and Spring Things’ series by award-winning author Iona Morrison. Those of us who enjoyed the ‘Blue Cove Mystery’ series will recognize a couple of the main characters.

Desirae Fontaine, better known to us as Destiny, leaves her stress and grief of the past few months behind, as she boards a plane for Blue Cove. Destiny’s uneasiness is apparent to Mila Ferris, as she settles into the seat beside Destiny. Maybe it is the sweet demeanor of this old lady, or comfort found in the bag of jelly beans Destiny brought on board, soon the two of them are deep in conversation and the magic begins.

Arriving in Blue Cove, Destiny stays in close contact with her mother by phone. Her mother informs her, she passed the bar exam. All her hard work and dreams to practice law has just come true. Now Destiny can relax, as Spring unfolds around her in Blue Cove. The Spring air is electric, there are new people to meet, and the possibilities are endless.

Blue Cove is a magical place where Destiny experiences things that are hard to explain. Her mother tells her “Even I have experienced some things in life for which there were no reasonable answers. At those moments, I would accept the gift that life handed me. It seems to me you need to do the same.”

Can Destiny accept the gifts life is offering her, and is her heart ready for love, if it should blossom?

Months after a bitter divorce, Sally Mansfield is spending Christmas with her best friends at the Blue Iris Inn. Fifty pounds thinner than the last time they were together; she is excited for her friends to see the change. She might still be wounded, her self-esteem at rock bottom, but Sally is determined to have a fun holiday with her friends.

A recent broken engagement brought Chad Bennett back to Blue Cove. Intrigued by Sally, he is interested in learning more, but she remains a closed book and truthfully so is he.

With the magic of falling snow, Christmas lights, Christmas decorations, and the promised Christmas festivities; surely this will help Sally heal and move into the next chapter of her life.

Let me quote: “Is it possible with the help of a little Christmas magic, a winsome sprite named Elida, some chocolate goodness, and friends, two lonely souls can find friendship and the possibility of a lot more over the holidays?”

Editorial Review (Book Marketing Global Network).

Review by J. A. Davis: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. Engaging and Sweet Read. Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2021. Verified Purchase. Sally Mansfield has returned to the Blue Iris Inn in Blue Cove for the holidays to meet her childhood friends. She’s recovering from an abusive relationship. A recent broken engagement and job offer brought Chad Bennett back. Both are sworn to not repeat their mistakes and fall in love again.

You have to love the magic of Christmas and author Iona Morrison who puts it all together in her novella by using a Christmas sprite, named Elida, who chooses the name Holly as she appears in the real world. The cheerful sprite sets out to match Sally with Chad as she nudges them toward each other to help them rediscover love.

This is an enjoyable read with a hint of paranormal that makes it endearing for the Christmas season. And who doesn’t like mint bars, also a part of the story with an accompanying recipe at the end? This story is sweet, engaging, and an adorable read.

Review by Redi44Crew: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. Second Chance Romance is a Definite Must Read. Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2021. Verified Purchase. Magic and Midnight Mint Bars by Iona Morrison is a touching tale of second chances. Sally and Chad have been brought together in her childhood town after painful breakups. It was obvious from their first meeting that they fit like two puzzle pieces. Their chemistry leaped from the page – even if their friends pushed them together at every turn.

However, my favorite character is Elida the fairy when she dresses in her disguise as Holly. Elida has magical glamor and can change herself to look like a little old lady to get away with mischief. From purposefully confusing the hero to rearranging the heroine’s schedule, her shenanigans were hilarious. All of her scenes had me on the edge of my seat, I needed to know what trouble she would stir up next!

Overall, I recommend this fairytale of second chances and magic to hopeless romantics who are looking for holiday magic.

Review by Bookworm Cherie: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. A holiday romance with a sprinkling of magic. Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2021. Verified Purchase. Sally Mansfield is just out of a bad relationship, wounded and feeling low self-esteem she heads to Blue Iris Inn to spend Christmas with her best friends. Surrounded by people who love her and with the aide of someone I grew to think of as her fairy godmother, Sally stops blaming herself for the horrible events of her past. And did I mention there is a sweet, attractive man who isn’t there to find love, but he can’t help but notice Sally. Magic & Midnight Mint Bars has just the right amount of holiday spirit, friendship, romance, and hope. If you’re in the mood for an inspirational story, you won’t be disappointed.

Review by Sheila Hemingway: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. Such a sweet Christmas story. Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2021. Verified Purchase. This is the next in the series about Jesse and Katie and their third friend. It really brought a smile to my face. To see Sally doing so well after her bitter divorce. Can’t wait to see what happens between Sally and Chad. They both deserve to be happy.

Author Bio: I am a multi-published Amazon bestselling author who writes romantic suspense with a touch of the paranormal. I enjoy writing fiction. The character development, their stories, and the twists and turns in the plot intrigue me. Once I let the characters loose, I can’t wait to see where they take me. I’m hooked from the first words on the paper and I have to keep writing to see how the story ends. Layer by layer I build it until I come to the happy conclusion.

I live in Colorado with my husband and family. I am a member of the RMFWPAL (Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Published Authors League) and have enjoyed becoming involved in my community as one of the many authors living in Colorado. I invite you to read one of my Blue Cove Mysteries and see for yourself why Blue Cove is a special and unusual place.
