Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance

Moonlit Destination Series

By: Amy McKinley

Narrated by: Regan Brown

One encounter with her surveillance target was all it took to change the course of Nadia Bennett’s life. It was a once in a lifetime kind of connection and worth the risk - even if the price of saving him was to leave him behind and start anew.

When an underwater angel saves Cade Malone from a car accident, he fears he won’t find her again. Years pass, but he’s still unable to erase her from his thoughts, so he vows that the next time they meet, he won’t let her slip away.

Under the moonlit sky, their paths cross, and the lines of demarcation blur as Nadia takes a chance at love even though a dark secret from her past could destroy their relationship.

Moonlit Mirage is a novella that can be read as a standalone, complete with an HEA.

5 Stars

I read this book a few months ago and when I saw it on Audio i just had to grab it. I have just recently started listening to audio books and going back and grabbing them from some of my favorite authors has made me look forward to so many more.

So after reading Covert Threat and the little snippet at the end about finding out what Hannah was up to I had to grab this book. This is kind of a part of The Gray Ghost series with a few of the characters crossing over, this was a super quick read that was full of all kinds of content, leaving out all the extra info that is normally a part of longer stories, yet still contained everything you expect when reading anything by this author. It jumped right in (lol you’ll understand why that was kinda funny when you read it) and had me on the edge of my seat right from the get go. Completely curious where this newer series will go, not sure if it will still be part of The Gray Ghost or what this author has in mind but I’m completely ready to find out because I love this all taking place in The Cook Islands, I could almost visualize everything that was mentioned in this story.

Loved it!

While this is a short novella. It can be listened to as a standalone that ends with a HEA. This story has everything needed to keep you intrigued as well as excited. Which is what makes for a great short story. I fell in love with both Nadia and Cade. I love a story that draws me in and keeps me interested. There was plenty of action and heart stopping moments. I am looking forward to reading more from Amy McKinley! Well Done Amy McKinley you have done it again. I am looking forward to reading more stories from you!

short, sweet & right to the point

5 stars!

At first I wasn’t sure where this book was going, so I was kind of conflicted about how I would feel about it in the end. I was quickly sucked into the story and the characters lives. I was not so patiently waiting for the story to continue quickly so that I could find out what role each character was playing and what would happen. Nadia seems like such a sweetheart, I really like how she fell in love with Cade and couldn’t follow through with her mission, and still wanted to get a glimpse of him years later. The fact that Cade has a near death experience and still manages to remember the girl who saved him years prior proves in my mind, that they are meant to be. They both follow their gut when it comes to each other and knowing that they are forever. I really enjoyed the drama the unfolded when Cade’s sister notices Nadia and finding out the organization Nadia works for and why. I was sad to have this story end, I was wanting more but was satisfied with the ending.

Short Novella

This short novella is part of the Moonlit Destination Series. Cade and Nadia's story is original, and intriguing. The characters are great, and the storyline is interesting. Regan Brown did a good job with the narration.

A short fast paced romance!

Moonlit Mirage (A Cook Islands Romance) Audio Book by Amy McKinley

A short, fast moving romance between Nadia and Cade full of suspense and intrigue. The two met 5 years before when Cade’s car went over a bridge into a river due to an accident. Nadia kept him safe by diving into the river and giving him much needed air. It is short but a wonderful introduction to these two characters. I hope that I find any book(s) that these two show up in. This is my first book by this author that I’m excited to check out her books in the future. Nadia has a secret she doesn’t want Cade to find out because she is worried he will not forgive her for it...
The book is narrated by Regan Brown, who did a wonderful job.

Four Stars

Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance is a Novella in the Moonlit Destination Series by Amy McKinley. This is a short fast paced romance that is packed with action and adventure. It can be read as a standalone, as this is the first book I have read in this series. I was intrigued with the storyline and the characters are well defined. This book makes me want to start reading this series. This was a perfect short story.
This is the first book I have listened to narrated by Regan Brown, but definitely won’t be the last. She really brought the characters to life. The story flowed and easy to understand.

Action Packed Romance

Starting with an action-packed sequence that grips the reader, this book doesn't slow down. I fell in absolute love with the characters, the character's action and the while that is this book. I was driven in immediately but by the way it all quickly gained my attention and piqued my interest as I'm sure it will for you. I don't think you'll be disappointed because even if this can be read as a standalone but the entire Moonlit collection is beautiful. Give it a read as a standalone or a collective.

What a magnificent surprise in such a short packag

Amy McKinley has definitely made a new fan out of me with this action packed short story, and at to that Regan Brown as the narrator and you have gold in this one and a half hour listen.

The characters are really well developed, especially for a Novella and the storyline has so much packed into this short story.
I'm definitely checking out the rest of this series.

Love in paradise

Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley

I have had the pleasure of reading a few books by Ms. McKinley,  but until this book I had not had the pleasure of listening to one until this one.  I throughly enjoyed the story as well as the narrator (Regan Brown) being able to grab and keep my attention.

Cade and Nadia's story has romance, suspense and second chances all while in paradise

I loved the connection to a previous series and gasped when I caught it.  This is a quick listen and quite enjoyable.   Looking forward to listening to more.

Amazing

5/5 Stars


Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance: Moonlit Destination Series AUDIO by Amy McKinley


This is the first audio book I've done. Regan Brown had me captivated from the beginning. McKinley has really outdone herself in this short romance story. A great way to start a series and a definite must read. It's short and sweet, but will leave you wanting more.


Nadia is now living on a beautiful island. When she runs into someone from her past. She doesn't want to give him a chance but then she does. When she meets his sister again things go bad quickly. The quote I chose for Nadia is: “We haven’t known each other that long, Cade. I’d hate for you to invest so much money then find out that whatever this is between us is short term.”


Cade's life was turned upside down five years ago after an accident that almost cost him his life. A woman, or as he finds out a girl, saves him from dying and then runs. What happens when he runs into her on the island he now calls home. The quote I chose for Cade is: “The accident. That was the start of a much bigger nightmare for my family. As much as we could, we’ve moved on. There isn’t anything holding me in New York any longer.”


Highly recommended for Romantic Suspense lovers.
