There was not too much drama just a rival pack, some cunning fairies, and a clever human baker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I loved readding about Felicia and Castiel and seeing their relationship grow. Castiel is the alpha of his pack so when a young one in the pack has her firsts shift and takes out all the deserts for the family reunion Castiel needs to find a way to get them replaced and quickly. Castiel finds a Bakery that is open and the owner willing to fulfill the order and deliver it at that. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Felicia is trying to keep her family\u2019s bakery a float but when more bills than customers are coming in it is an uphill battle.&nbsp; Until Castiel comes in to place a LARGE last-minute order for his family reunion. Of course, Felicia agrees to make the treats and get them delivered. When she arrives to the delivery location, she is amazed by the size of Castiel\u2019s family.&nbsp; Can I just say I love Castiel\u2019s pack there are so many characters and personalities I enjoyed each interaction. There was a mix-up as to who Felicia was by a blind elder and Felicia was given the special punch causing her to hang out longer with the clan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a wholesome fun read. I loved seeing Castiel and Felicia banter and seeing where their relationship lead. I have to say the aunties and grandmas have a place in my heart I just loved seeing all of the interacting with everyone. There was just something likable about Felicia and everyone seen it even the rival pack.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure that anyone even fairies were immune to Felicia yummy treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"158\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=474%2C158\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Roxie Ray is a collaborative group of writer friends passionate about crafting unforgettable Paranormal and Alien Romance.
