Candela

A Paranormal Comedy Romance (Silver Skates, Book 11)

De: J.R. Thorn, Silver Springs Library

Narrado por: Vanessa Moyen, Zachary Johnson

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.

Super cute

Sweet and fun for a quick PNR RH read! It reminds me of the Winter Fae Queen book! Check this out if you were a fan!

So Sweet 🧁

This is probably one of sweetest and cutest books by J.R. Thorn I have listened too. Zachary Johnson and Vanessa Moyen did an amazing job narrating this book. Definitely recommend listening to short but sweet book! Cupcakes anyone? 🧁🧁🧁

Book 11 - Silver Springs / Silver Skates

A short and fun listen. Perfect narration, a great addition to the Silver Springs / Silver Skate series. Candela is a human living in a city full of paranormals just looking to belong when she finds herself embroiled as a suspect for arson. New found mates surround her, protect her and clear her all while insta love abounds between them. A quick read / listen that is sweet, with some heat and a few laughs to be had a long the way as well as some gasping twists and turns!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

YAAASS for another look into the ELEMENTAL FAE !

I’ve been dying for this read because I knew it would have at least some crossover with the Elemental Fae realm—a world I am shamelessly addicted to. As Candela lives in Silver Springs, this is predominantly where this book is set and it seems like a fun world.

Candela is a great character, likable and real.
Thorn really nailed the ‘small town / community / family’ feel with this town and left me wanting more of it—for a world I previously wasn’t particularly interested in, this is impressive.


Thorn manages to have many of the other books’ main characters cross Candela’s path, and in those tiny scenes, I felt like I wanted more of some of them. Definitely a brilliant tactic that wasn’t lost on me … but still, I'm off to see about one-clicking some of them. (Fortunately, in this world, the books are all named after the characters themselves so I’ll have no trouble finding them. Well played, Silver Springs authors.)

Fans of the Elemental Fae World should enjoy this installment and may also find themselves even more hyped up for Artica’s book, which is coming later this year. If you’re like me and crave an excuse to dive back in, you’ll find Candela a satisfactory taste. If you’re new to any of it (either world), you’ll still enjoy it. Candela’s men are all smoking hot for different reasons and there’s lots of humor and wit throughout.

Format notes:

I read 50% on the ebook, and listened to the audiobook for the rest and the bonus epilogue, Cupcakes and Coffee. It’s very well narrated, 5-star performance, while the ebook is beautifully formatted.

4.5 stars

cute story but needed a bit more meat!

started well but it was too short and simple. it is a nice story with lots of potential. looks like it is open for third party spinoffs.

need more cupcakes

Candela moves to Silver Springs because she sees things most humans cannot. She was hoping to find answers here, what she wasn't expecting was to get blamed for unexpected fires starting all over town. Or for the mysterious mate bond to attach to her... because she's just a human, right?! I absolutely loved this story, it's cute, funny and a definite page turner that you won't want to put down.
So settle in with a cupcake and enjoy yourself.

Sweetly Fantastic!!

Absolutely adored this book and audio. Zachary and Vanessa are perfect together to bring Candela to life. The story is sweet, hot, and just perfect for a low angst, lovable book. Highly recommend!!

Great story

This is a great addition to the Silver Springs world. Gives you mystery, heat and a happy ending. I enjoyed this book!
