Release Day! Mind Reader by Kirsty McManus ~ My Thoughts #MindReader

Happy Release Day!!

Congrats Kirsty
on the release today of
Mind Reader!

Mind Reader by Kirsty McManus
Print and e-book, 173 pages
Published December 27, 2019

Kellan Gallo can predict soulmates. Operating out of the nightclub Heaven Sent, his charming reputation and impressive accuracy rate are legendary.

But when Kellan meets stem cell scientist Beatrix Mackenzie, he wonders if his time might be better spent pursuing a more meaningful profession.

After a lucky interview with an employment agency, Kellan suddenly finds himself working as Beatrix’s intern. But with Beatrix convinced Kellan is a fraud, he wonders whether embarking on a career in science might be incompatible with his future happiness.

***

Beatrix Mackenzie lives her life by the facts. She loves her job as a scientist because of the clear-cut answers it can provide. So when she meets Kellan, she is reluctant to fall for his act.

However, Kellan quickly proves himself to be an intelligent, and oh-so-attractive adversary, causing Beatrix to question everything she knows.

Can two people with such differing worldviews find common ground?

If they’re soulmates, it might just be possible. 

 

My thoughts about Mind Reader ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"I can have anyone I want."

This was such a fun read! Kellan and Beatrix are as different as night and day, one is a scientist and the other one can envision someone's soulmates. Beatrix doesn't even believe in the idea of soulmates so how can she think that what he does is a real thing?

It was so much fun watching these two develop a friendship.... or not. Beatrix does everything she can to debunk Kellan's gift and to put a barrier up between the two of them. But something—chemistry perhaps, fate maybe—keeps bringing them together.

I first came across Kirsty's books when I read I Thought It Was You, part of the delightful Oceanic Dreams series. Mind Reader is a wonderful, entertaining story that have you pondering the idea of soul mates and have you rooting for these two people who really do belong together.

I highly recommend this fun story and I look forward to reading more of Kirsty's books.

I received a copy of Mind Reader from the author and this is my honest review.
