Healed with a Kiss is pure Cat’s Paw Cove magic: a delightful, heartfelt romantic comedy that proves even the most uptight man of science can be saved by a water nymph and a naughty-talking cat!
Meet Brendan Redbird, a predictable medical professional whose life is turned upside down when he’s suddenly adopted by three magical, mischievous cats—Tom, Dick, and Harry. The chaos escalates quickly when Tom smacks a girl on the butt, leaving Brendan to take the blame. The victim? Myrotessa, or Tessa, a charming water nymph with healing powers and a gift of prophecy, who definitely did not see that coming.
The initial antagonistic sparks quickly turn into a shared mission when the magical felines of the Cove begin succumbing to a mysterious malady. Brendan’s science must team up with Tessa’s healing magic to find a cure. This forced proximity and shared goal make for fantastic banter and the perfect backdrop for romance. The book is light, laugh-out-loud funny, and deeply satisfying as they find that along the way to helping others, they heal the cracks in their own hearts.
As a repeat listener to Rebecca Winder in this genre, you know she delivers! Winder is an excellent fit for the Paranormal Romantic Comedy genre, capably handling the wide range required—from the dry, uptight voice of Brendan to the whimsical charm of Tessa, and most importantly, the hilarious, distinct personality of the naughty-talking cat, Tom! Her performance ensures the comedic elements land perfectly while still conveying the genuine emotion of their heartfelt journey. This is a must-listen for a comforting, magical escape.
