About the author

Kelly Apple

71 books47 followers
Kelly Apple is a hardcore paranormal junkie with the bad habit of falling for damaged heroes. Finding (and writing) characters who make her heart break is one of her goals in life. She has a boy who can drink his weight in Mountain Dew and always tries to get her to play video games with him. She politely declines on account of all the voices in her head who are impatiently waiting for their stories to be told. Oddly, her two dogs have never tried to talk her into playing video games. They just expect belly rubs.

Kelly lives in sunny Northern California and she’s baffled by snow. Her flip-flop tan is something many dream about but few can achieve.

She reads, she writes, she tweets.

3.5 Stars ~ Average rating of 8 stories .

📚Operation Werewolf
I thought it over & I'm going for it!
3.75 🌟's Which rounds up to 4.
For a super short read it was pretty 'Dang Good'! At least a 3.5 I hesitate to give such a short story 4 stars, but I am tempted here.

Funny and witty. Cute & sexy.
Well written, but has a couple of minor typos.
Talk about great 1st dates!
Michael & Ella on their 1st blind date.......
Wicked funny 🤣!

📚Operation Dragon
3 Stars

Super short read of about 39 pages.
Cute & funny.
Not as funny to me as bk#1, but enjoyable.
I didn't find any typos, etc. You are best off getting the bundle of these little gems.

It is light hearted and Very STEAMY.
One heck of a 'Supernatural Dating Service'.
Ms. Apple's imagination of creating these various creatures and their 'Quirks' is just.... 'Flat out Fun' and a 'Real Hoot'!

They are perfect (so far) for my in between reads.
Helps with 'Book Hangovers' while you decide what to read next.

📚Operation Merman
3.9 Stars

This one is my favorite so far.
You get a bit more detail for world & character build. Not much mind you, but enough for the type of story this is.
There is humor. So it will make you grin.
The females make me think of 'Valley Girls' in some ways.
Not only does it have some steamy scenes with the Merman & his newly matched Nixie, but there are also some steamy scenes with Ari the Monstrous Matchmaker & her 'Special' mate.

A very quick, steamy fun, Monstrous Matchmaker read.

I didn't find any typos/editing errors. Which I find 'Amazing' considering what these stories are. It is obvious to me that the author cares about her craft. These may be humorous little bites of supernatural adult fun, but they are Well Written!

📚Operation Naga
3.5 Stars

This one was a lot of fun and Very entertaining.
Much better than I thought it was going to be.

I bought the bundle of these little quickies & it includes Eight stories.
This was the 4th story in the bundle.

There is some world build and the characters are amusing and quirky.

Great read for a book hangover!

📚Operation Minotaur
3.5 Stars

Fun, short, and fast paced.
Well written.

Steamy and sexy.
Quirky and Cute.
Just a taste of humor.

I'm going to have to come up with a rating for which one of these little guys I enjoyed the most once I get done with all 8 of them

📚Operation Gargoyle
4 Solid Stars

Even though I found a couple of editing errors in this one, I am still marking it 4 stars.
It was that good.

This one goes to the top of my favorites of this series.... So far.

Vane the Gargoyle & Cin (Ari's human friend) are the mc's. They are great characters and their story was fun.

This one seems to be written much better than the others. The flow is perfect.
A quick and fun read.

I loved it.

📚Operation Sasquatch
3.5 Stars

Liked it a lot.
Character builds are better.
Super short but entertaining read.

📚Operation Date Night
3.5 Stars

Didn't find any editing errors in this one. Doesn't mean they aren't there, but I didn't find them.

Really good flow and fast paced. This one has a lot more world/character build.
Things are changing in the Ari's world.
Some for the better, and some changes may or may not be better.

The first 2 intimate scenes were 'maximus interruptus' and lightly humorous.
The last intimate scene is at the end & very steamy.

I enjoyed reading these 8 super short stories & I'm glad I downloaded the bundle.
They didn't set the world on fire, but the were cute, humorous, filled with adult romance and whimsical characters.

🎵*Note: You want to buy this in its bundle/omnibus edition. The bundle is $4.99 on Amazon at the time of this review. There are 8 (eight) books in the bundle. Each book is priced $1.99 separately. They are all between about 40 to 55 pages long.

Nymph with a mission

Ari has her monster. She has a collection of monster friends, too. But they're lonely. Decades, centuries of isolation from the world, and dwindling numbers, means this nymph needs to find her guys some ladies. Her dating service is getting ready to be launched. Yay! Now, where exactly do you find supernatural ladies at to pair up with the guys?

Spoilers ahead.
Ok, so, the series might be fluff erotica but it's cute. Ari is the nympho nymph with a huge heart, and horrible inner monologue during sexy times. I skipped them again lol. I'm sorry "lady garden", "honey pot" and worse are just not doing it for me. But, the way she coos at Liam's body parts? Hysterical and sweet. So, all the guys she gathered for her "free my guardian" army are about to be paired off. Each pairing is a handful of pages, everything moves really quickly. I find it hysterical the things that live centuries move that quick. But, not a 1 is a carbon copy. They're all different and unique. Many POVs here. Ari's and Liam's, each guy's as they're introduced to their potential dates/mates, and then back to Ari and Liam. It, despite...in spite? of itself is syrupy sweet.
The first book's editing was rather well done. This one had some slips. There were some homonym swaps (steal instead of steel), and a few others oopsies but nothing horribly jarring. Just not as smooth as the first, editing wise. And, while there still isn't a lot of background world building, the world (in the focus of the book) is expanding. It's an odd conundrum.

Monsters need love too

Kelly continues to weave stories with the nymph, Ari. Air finds love for all her supernatural friends. Some in obvious places and some not so obvious. I can't wait to find out what happens with this unusual family.

Saucy supernatural matchmaking skills

Aries on a mission to help her friends find the loves of their lives, like she found hers. Great read. My heart is in my throat wondering what’s going to happen next. Will the supernaturals be outed and in danger? Can’t wait.

Interesting story

Lots of graphic scenes so this is for mature readers only. It has a wide variety of paranormal creatures. It is an easy read. If you like steamy books, then this book is for you.

This series is a delight

Yeah, I loved this. All the matches were so great to read, and I loved the first meetings (and the first *other things*). It was rad to see the guys finally each have a person the way Ari has Liam. Will absolutely be reading the next book.
