#Paranormal, #MM, #Romance,

Can Fate once more pair mates at a Bucket List Buddies event? Or will one cowardly lion—Lionel—just be too fast on his feet for a teacup poodle—Brad, to catch?

Ghost hunting was at the bottom of a bottomless list of things Lionel wanted to do—alone. Forced to go to a Bucket List Buddies event without his friend, Lionel was oblivious to everything in the darkness without so much as a torch for company. After running away from the event before it gets going, Lionel hides out at home, suffering from acute embarrassment at letting his fears get the better of him.

At least no one saw him leave—right?

Wrong!

Workaholic, Brad, self-proclaimed cute teacup poodle shifter—yes, the declaration came from his animal side—really wants to kick back, have fun, and maybe find something or someone to go bump in the night with at a ghost hunting event. One whiff of a tantalizing smell and Brad is on the hunt for more than ghosts. But before he gets a chance to meet his mate, the sexy man disappears into the night.

As resourceful as Brad is, it seems others in his new circle of friends are more so. An offer to be delivery driver for some delicious chocolate éclairs, has Brad finding his mate.

Claimed, Lionel’s problems are only just beginning. His pride has other ideas on whats ideal when it comes to mating, and Brad is not it. Banished, Lionel discovers the past is not all what it seems, and he doesn’t get just a mate, but so much more.

Ghost of a Chance is book 2 in the Bucket List Buddies Series, where one buddy discovers old fears can be conquered with love, truth and unconditional family support.

4 out of 5 (very good)

GHOST OF A CHANCE is the second book in the Bucket List Buddies series, and I am seriously shipping Sven and Remy!!! Not to get ahead of myself, though, first let me tell you about Lionel and Brad.

Lionel is an alpha lion shifter with a (reasonable!) fear of the dark and things that slither and crawl, scamper and root. So going on a ghost hunting tour isn't really his thing, but he goes anyway, because he doesn't want to let down his friends. Brad is an omega teacup poodle shifter who has fought his way in a construction world. When he smells something, or rather, someone delicious, but with an undertone of fear, he wants to help. He is too late, but that doesn't stop him from trying. He will do what he can to help the one he thinks might be his mate.

Man, this was so good! I loved how Brad was all tongue-tied when they first met, even shifting when his poodle took over. I loved how Lionel was a-okay with having a mate who wasn't a lioness. I loved how Brad's family and friends, and Lionel's friends, all rallied round to celebrate their mating. And the thing I loved most of all? Was that Lionel and Brad tossed the standard alpha/omega dynamic on its head and OWNED it! They did what worked for them and stuff everyone else.

There is some angst in here from Lionel's old pack, but he was standing up to them when his mum arrived like an avenging angel! I'll be honest, I had my doubts about her when I was reading, but she more than made up for it at the end. Now, I'm hoping we get her story and she finally finds her own fated mate.

A brilliant combination of steamy, funny, and emotional, this was a fantastic read that I highly recommend.

I’m JP and I come from a small island in the middle of the Irish sea where all the magic and madness happens.

Books are my happy place and I’ve the gift of a vivid imagination aided by music that helps to craft and create many muses. They all vie for my attention and, much like cats, impossible to herd.

Let your introduction to my mind allow you the wonder of escapism.

I am so thrilled to see you. I would tell you that I’ve written this series and that series, but at the time of opening this new site, I currently have seventeen series, plus a collection of standalones – some are finished, some not – and with over a hundred titles to my name. I don’t see myself stopping writing anytime soon, I love my men, and I’m a sucker for a happily ever after.

I always love to hear from readers and other authors. If I can showcase your work on my blog, give me a shout; if you are a new paranormal author looking for a review, just drop me a line. Readers – you can always contact me via the form here, or on any of my social media pages and remember my email address is at the back of every book I write.

I’m all about spreading the love – hopefully I can spread some your way.

Hug the ones you love,

Lisa
