Falcon shifters

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2020

Ryan Ford is a falcon shifter, as is his brother and mother. His mother is determined that her sons would marry other shifters. But Ryan is more interested in a non-shifter named Jess Callahan.

**** FOUR STARS! Main characters are well developed, but others are not. Personally, I would have enjoyed seeing more of Nocturne Falls, but the story did not have enough time. I also would have liked to know more about Nana. However, the romance between Jess and Ryan made up for most things. Those two simply sizzle together. ****

Ehh, it was ok.

2 stars - It was ok

Jess Callahan has returned to Nocturne Falls to put her life back together and hopefully get her career back on track. She is determined to keep her distance from one family though, the Fords. But she quickly realizes it isn’t the boy she had a crush on she needs to worry about, its his older brother.

This was an ok Nocturne Falls romance. Jess was very aloof with Ryan in the beginning but quickly switched gears to attraction. I was hoping for more development with their relationship but it was a very fast insta-love one with little build up between them.

Jess was interesting though because she had the ability of precog but refused to use it. I wish it had expanded on why she didn’t use her gifts. Ryan is a falcon shifter with an overbearing mother. Ryan and Conner both needed to get away from their mother. She was insufferable with her determination to keep her family pure. I hated her instantly and it made me not really like Ryan because he never stopped his mother from saying hurtful things in front of Jess.

Overall, this was just ok. I will probably avoid the rest of her books in this series because I can’t stand the mother, or Conner really since he was just a playboy.

I liked the story. There were a few spots where it jumped a little too fast and left me confused and having to go back and reread. However, still a very good story. I liked the characters very much.

Another wonderful installment to the Nocturne Falls Universe. This writer captured the essence of the original series and continued in the spirit of such. Kudos.

Not a bad story, even with a bossy mom who thinks she knows what's best. I enjoyed reading this short story.

To bad it was not longer and more elaborate

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2017

This was a nice story but it left me wondering. It did not feel finished. In general, first half is beautifully written and consistent, and second seems a bit like the writer lost herself. Main characters are very lovable and their interactions are mostly. Jess is a sort of psychic and Ryan is a falcon shifter. New breed in Nocturne Falls, which is always welcome. There are some side characters which could have been more developed, in my opinion, Echo, the grandmother and Crealde, the weird cat, because they are very lovable, as well. Then there is Connor, Ryan's brother and Solange, their very unpleasant mother.
As I mentioned previously, the first half is brilliant, but then at some point after I passed a half, suddenly the story became rushed, and some non-existent issues emerged. For example, we are in Nocturne Falls, why would anyone care or discriminate against shifters?
I appreciate that the author kept any explicit content to bare minimum and subtle enough, but I am not happy about the shifter issue.
Nocturne Falls is a safe happy place of fairy tales and there is no need for any inappropriate activity, such as discrimination, from the main characters. We have villains for that. I think this is the main problem with some of the Nocturne Falls Universe authors, It is not the writing style or wording or the characters, it is the safe atmosphere and magical ambiance created by Kristen Painter that makes Nocturne Falls so beautiful that all of us fans want to move there.
The Nocturne Falls reading order is: The Vampire's Mail Order Bride (Nocturne Falls #1), The Werewolf Meets His Match (Nocturne Falls #2), The Gargoyle Gets His Girl (Nocturne Falls, #3), The Professor Woos The Witch (Nocturne Falls, #4), and The Witch’s Halloween Hero (Nocturne Falls #4.5) in Spell of the Ball Anthology, The Werewolf's Christmas Wish (Nocturne Falls #4.6) in Hex the Halls Anthology, The Vampire’s Fake Fiancée (Nocturne Falls #5), A Vampire's Valentine Surprise (Nocturne Falls #5.5), Miss Frost Solves A Cold Case : A Nocturne Falls Mystery (Jayne Frost #1), The Shifter Romances The Writer (Nocturne Falls #6), Miss Frost Ices The Imp : A Nocturne Falls Mystery (Jayne Frost #2), The Vampire’s True Love Trials (Nocturne Falls #6.5) in Taming the Vampire collection, Miss Frost Saves The Sandman : A Nocturne Falls Mystery (Jayne Frost #3), The Dragon Finds Forever (Nocturne Falls #7), The Vamoire's Accidental Wife (Nocturne Falls #8), and ever growing series of Nocturne Universe Novels, which surpassed fifteen by now. Great world to get yourself immersed in.

4 stars - 'The Falcon Finds His Mate' by Candace Colt

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017

The Falcon Finds his Mate is a another great addition to the Nocturne Falls universe. This would be my first book from author Candace Colt, so thanks to Kristen Painter for having her write a story in her fictional town of Nocturne Falls.

This book happens to start off slow a bit, but that didn’t stop me from swiping my kindle screen to get to the next page because I wanted to find out more about the main characters. I enjoyed getting to read a clairvoyant and a falcon shifter story this time around. Although, I didn’t like Ryan’s mom in the story at all. She’s very controlling of her Ryan and Conner, her other son that happens to be the ex of the female character in the story Jess Callahan.

Candace takes the characters through a world wind of emotions because it’s unfortunately still not 100% over her ex, but she also can’t get over the fact that Ryan has grown up. I really liked Ryan in the story because of his persistence in the story. He didn’t want to give up.

Overall this was an enjoyable addition to the Nocturne Falls series. I’m anxious to find out if Ryan’s brother ends up settling down because in the story he tended to be a player. At least he thought he was one.

I give this book 4 stars and recommend it to fans of the Nocturne Falls series. It’s a quick book to read. I would’ve finished it in one day if it wasn’t for my busy work schedule. This Book Lovin’ Mama has needed some sleep.

Jess & Ryan

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017

Jess is home until she can find another job and is helping her grandmother, Echo. Whilst she is home she is doing repairs to the house and has been preparing the stage for the upcoming showcase. Ryan is a falcon, from a rich family. He's also an artist and his mother has volunteered him to help on the preparations for the stage.

Jess struggles with her gifts, she chooses to block her powers rather than use them. Ryan is expected to settle down with a nice falcon female and produce pure blooded falcon babies. This story is full of misunderstandings, some them and us prejudice. I loved this story, it kept me entertained. Echo is such a character, you cant help but love her. Jess's perseverance under Ryan's mums negativity and Ryan sticking up for her had me loving them more and more. These two amazing, creative people are a welcome addition to the Nocturne Falls Universe. And they show you that you can stand up to the naysayers in this world.

Another entertaining romp in the Nocturne Falls Universe

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2017

The Falcon Finds His Mate, by Candace Colt, is another entry into the Nocturne Falls Universe series. Ms. Colt does a fine job of matching the 'tone' of the universe created by Kristen Painter, and the characters she's created are multidimensional and well fleshed out. I don't include spoilers in my reviews but I will say there are a few unexpected turns in the plot that I enjoyed. The plot flows well and the characters' actions and reactions are believable and in-character. While I will always love Kristen Painter's stories best, this was another entertaining romp in the universe she created and I enjoyed it very much.

Colt's Falcon is a lot of fun. Falcon shifters

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017

The Falcon Finds His Mate by Candace Colt is a story in the Nocturne Falls Universe written by Kristen Painter.

Colt's Falcon is a lot of fun. Falcon shifters!!

Solange Ford, Momma Falcon, is afraid the unsuitable non-shifter, Jess who was in love with her younger son, Connor in high school will renew her affections, and sends her elder son, Ryan to intercept. Except, Ryan falls in love with the oh-so-innapropriate Jessica. Add some drama to her life, and this is a ride you won't soon forget.
