The Goddess Gets Her Guy
What happens when Gaia―a.k.a. Mother Nature―finally meets Mr. Right…but she absolutely can't tell him who she really is? I have had it with everyone today! This world is full of fools and mortals, and not a single one of them is listening to me! I told every paranormal that never revealing their supernatural powers to humans is paramount ―once humans get a whiff of our abilities, it's game over; everyone wants a miracle. Well fine, if they want to keep breaking rules, they can handle the fallout without me. I'm on vacation. I really wanted some time alone, to go to the Puerto Rican rain forest and get back to basics. Commune with nature, consider my next move, give everyone time to miss me and realize that I'm right (as always). I never expected to find a handsome surgeon scouring the jungle for natural remedies. It sounds like he needs my help. Maybe I'll just whip up some miracles for him. He's going to be so pleased! Turns out Dr. Aaron Samuels wasn't so pleased after all. In fact, he was rather furious. But I can still fix this. Doesn't he know who I am?! Oh, wait, of course he doesn't―being mortal complicates everything! But if I'm going to get my guy, maybe it's time to tell him the truth… Praise for Ashlyn Chase's paranormal "A sexy and fun paranormal romance."― Booklist for My Wild Irish Dragon "Hot and hilarious. This one is a must-read."― Night Owl Reviews Top Pick for Never Dare a Dragon "Shapeshifting done right! …This fast-paced romance is a must-read."― RT Book Reviews for Hooked on a Phoenix "Funny and sexy…a different twist on the average paranormal theme."― Fresh Fiction for Kissing with Fangs

About the author
Ashlyn Chase
55 books455 followersAshlyn Chase has been a registered nurse for 20 years. During those years, she wrote articles for professional journals and a thesis, but eventually, thank goodness, discovered the joy and freedom of writing fiction.
Ashlyn considers herself lucky. Her degree in behavioral sciences is a combination of psychology and sociology, so she has worked with and studied people most of her life. She never has to write out exhaustive character sketches to understand her characters or predict how they will behave. That doesn't mean they don't surprise her. Sometimes they take her on grand unexpected journeys. For her, it gives "character driven novels" a whole new meaning.
Ashlyn has learned to go with the flow. To enjoy the journey is not only one of her writing goals, but also a challenge in life so she tries to follow where the story takes her. As such, she has lived in 17 different places over the years. At last, she's all settled down and comfy in New England.
Is there a grand design or do we decide our own fates? Perhaps if the powers-that-be have a plot, then they also give us the right to revise it. Ashlyn has certainly made detours on her path, but she thinks she's better for it. She's having fun at any rate and hopes that if she enjoys the journey, so will those around her—including her readers.

The Goddess Gets Her Guy by Ashly Chase
Paranormal romance. Last book in all the cross connected series. Characters from most of the previous books make appearances which is fun if the previous books were read. If not, can be difficult to keep track of who is related or connected.
In this story Mother Nature looks for companionship of her own after following the romances of many of her paranormal subjects (the books in the series). Her sisters, Fate and Karma help and they all agree that Aaron is her match.
I liked Aaron. He is a bit older with two grown daughters. He worries about his daughters and their families as well as the world. His goal is to the make the world a better place before he leaves it.
Mother Nature created the universe (in this storyline) so has quite the ego. It’s very evident in many of her dealings. The good thing is that as the story progresses, she does try to become nicer and more tolerant.
And speaking of ego -
Excerpt of Gaia, Mother Nature musing.
“She couldn’t help thinking about Aaron as she gazed out over the plants. She didn’t understand why he would continue refusing her help when she could’ve cut through so many layers of red tape for him. It must be that stupid false pride thing she accidentally injected the male of the species with. She was trying to give them pride in their accomplishments. Instead, she seemed to give them pride to the point of being full of themselves.”

Blurb :
What happens when the goddess meets Mr. Right...but she absolutely can't tell him who she really is?
After leaving his job as a cardiac surgeon, Dr. Aaron Samuels needs a new purpose in his life. Wanting to help his patients even if he can't operate, he heads to the Puerto Rican rainforest to find a cure for heart disease. He never imagined he'd meet a beautiful, mysterious woman, especially not one talking to a frog in the middle of the jungle...
Gaia—a.k.a. Mother Nature—has had it with paranormals breaking her number one rule: Never reveal your supernatural powers to humans, not even your mate. Fed up, she transports to the rainforest, happy to converse with amphibians who don't talk back. But Dr. Samuels is a much better conversationalist, and Gaia can't wait to help him mend all those broken hearts he told her about.
When her attempts to help only complicate things between them, Gaia begins to wonder what would happen if she opened her heart and was honest with Aaron...and herself. Maybe her number one rule has been wrong all along...
My review :
When a supreme being of all the super beings is looking for a mate, how will it turn out ...
When I requested this book, I thought I was for a fun read about a goddess encountering a man who stirred her curiosity and intrigued her to want to know him more.
I got it but I confess I felt confused at the beginning as aplenty of characters were introduced, and it became obvious this standalone story was in fact the end of many other stories.
This book is the epilogue tying up the knots of the many protagonists’ life from previously published paranormal series, with a happy ending for the most ranked of the supernatural beings.
But once I passed this detail, it was quite en enjoyable read, even if I had to get a crash course in what is the ether for the author.
Gaia is mother of all, yet over the centuries, she is challenged by her creations, the human kind is a deceptive breed, why she added restrictions to her paranormal creatures but time has passed and she must too take a fresh look on her own rules.
She is far from perfect and in fact appears more human like than she likes, why when she meets a man who puzzles her, she feels lost and needs guidance.
Aaron is a widower, with two grown daughters and a change of carrier waiting for him as he no longer can be the cardiac surgeon he once was. When he first meet Gaia, she appears as lonely as him, and soon he knows why.
Their relationship is one of friendship at first, where she has to learn to listen and If one thing is sure, Gaia does not listen, she decides and acts.
I liked Fate and Karma, Gaia’s sisters they are what they were named for, more fair and agreeable than Gaia, who is very haughty and full of herself, as it is for the mother of everything.
If one part of the book is about setting a date for Gaia which results in humorous moments, the other is to close all the loose threads from the other stories.
In all an enjoyable story but to fully appreciate it, you must read the author’s previous work.
Why I rate it 4 stars.

Gaia is losing it. She's putting the supernaturals who married humans on trial for doing what they were meant to do, FALL IN LOVE! Unfortunately it's with a human, a total no no by Gaia's single rule. Her sisters Fate and Karma step in to try and chill her out. Finally they decide they know what the problem is. Gaia needs to meet someone and learn to enjoy the same things her creations do..
Let's hope she doesn't blow up the world while learning how to deal with dating and thinking about what she's done wrong to end up in this situation.
I'm not spilling the beans though! You have to buy or borrow a copy of the book and read it for yourself.

Gaia aka Mother Nature is old as dirt and a bit grumpy. She's been yelling and talking down to so many of the paranormals that her sisters Fate and Karma decide that she needs a date. So they set up a dating profile for Gaia on a dating app. Gaia has one rule and that's for paranormals never to show their powers to humans and she's beyond sick and tired of them breaking her rules.
The dating does not go well because the men her sisters are fixing her up with are just not her type. She did find a man on her own to be friends with but there's a misunderstanding soon after they start to talk, more and feelings are hurt. Aaron is a retired doctor who has two grown daughters, one of which moves back home after breaking up with her boyfriend.
Aaron and Gaia didn't get to really know each other until more than halfway through the book. There relationship was a very slow building one and while I like a slow building romance, I also want it to advance a little more quickly than it did in this book. Between that and the fact that there were so many other storylines going on as well as a lot of secondary characters showing up in this book that it felt bogged down a bit with too much information. I think the romance in this book suffered because there was just too many other things going on.
If you've been reading the series up to this point though, you will probably enjoy this book.

**My thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
I have read a few books from this author and have so far loved every book that i have come across. The only reason that this book did not get 5 stars is because it is a little heavy on the save the world theme.
I did love that we got to see characters from two other the authors other series, Boston Dragons and Phoenix Brothers and that they now all know each other and have relocated to Costa Rica.
Mother Earth (Gaia) did seem to need a lot of assistance by her sister Karma and Fate in understanding the modern world, and at times there were lessons for all of us to learn in this book.
I do love my fantasy books and will certainly look for more from this author in the future.

That old tagline stuck in my head as soon as I picked up this book. It's a hoot! Gaia, Mother Nature herself, is looking for a significant other. She's cranky, she's pretty full of herself, and she is all knowing - what chance does a guy have in her world? Enter Dr. Aaron Samuels - someone who seems like just a nice all around guy. Loved him! Let's say this story is over the top with laughs and paranormal folks and the learning of love and just what kind of *star stuff* you are made of. Cute love story, the goddesses (and some gods) will make you laugh and root for us mere mortals. Definitely worth the read.

This one was just ok for me. A big part of that was due to Gaia, I didn't really like her. In the past books I liked her when she would pop in, but a whole book with her was a bit much. She is the ultimate "me" girl. Aaron was a good match for her, someone steady and stable, someone who understood the demands on her time and had his own interests. I'm glad they worked things out, but I was also glad to be done with the book.

Mother Nature is urged by her sisters, Fate and Karma, to let them find a date/man for her. Mother Nature's goddess name is Gaia. She is the head goddess and is very strict with her paranormal subjects. Gaia is highly irritated that her subjects cannot keep her number one rule, never reveal your supernatural powers to anyone, not even your mate. Mother Nature/Gaia decides to go to the rain forests of Puerto Rico to get away from it all and meets Dr. Aaron Samuels who is there to do research. The two become close and Gaia wonders if her strict rule is something that she can follow. Cute story line with snappy, sizzling dialogue. Fun reading for anyone who wants a getaway from it all!

This is the last of the wild and crazy installments in this world (I think), so maybe this isn't the place to start the series. Instead, if you've been watching this all play out, it wraps up things nicely for all involved.
Gaia, aka Mother Nature, has played a big role in the previous books set in this world. Some more than others, but she is almost always pretty mean about it, even when she's helpful. I have to admit, I had a really hard time liking her. Sure, I guess everybody deserves to get their HEA, but she's just... so... mean. The book starts with her yelling at all her paranormals about breaking her "one rule" again, but then seems to mellow out a bit with the help of her sisters.
Aaron, the father of a set of witches we met previously, finds himself in a bit of a transition. Due to his failing health, he can no longer be a doctor, but without his job he finds it hard to pass the time. His daughter (the one not mated to a phoenix) ends up getting dumped by her husband while pregnant, leaving them to team up and head to Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is now apparently filled with all our favorite paranormals from previous books and welcomes them with open arms. It's here that Gaia and Aaron end up hooking up.
Again, I had some trouble giving Gaia her HEA, but I supposed everyone deserves one. With all the characters, I also found it a little hard to keep up, so was mostly just along for the ride here. As an ending to this series, it makes sense Gaia would find her match in a human-ish person.

To fully appreciate this book I would say it is not just recommended that the previous books be read first - but essential ………. as this book is almost in two parts . The first being Gaia's (Mother of All) romance with widower Aaron and the tying together of The Author's previous paranormal books protagonists' lives .
Aaron is a widower , with two teenage daughters , looking for a career change - he can no longer be a Cardiac Surgeon .
Gaia , Mother of All , has found the restrictions she imposed on her creations are being ignored , determined
to take a fresh look at her own rules , she realises she is more human than she thought .
On meeting Aaron , Gaia soon realises that she is just as lonely as he . Their relationship develops from one of friendship ……… but she must learn to listen and not just act , perhaps be more like her sisters , Fate and Karma ..
The book has its humorous moments , particularly the setting of Gaia;s date ……….. but it also brings together all the threads from the Author's previous books in this arena .
An enjoyable read on the whole and I look forward to reading the previous books which would give me more context for this one .

Bringing back characters from her previous series, Strange Neighbors, Boston Dragons, and Phoenix Brothers, this book opens with Gaia ~ aka Mother Nature ~ putting her paranormals on trial for breaking her number one rule ~ don't tell humans what you are. Fate and Karma intervene during the trial telling Gaia that she needs to find her soulmate. They set her up on some dates which don't go well but Gaia finds someone on her own. Fed up with everyone, Gaia escapes to the rainforest where she meets Aaron Samuels, a cardiac surgeon who retired due to a medical condition. As their relationship continues, Gaia starts to wonder about her number one rule.
I really enjoyed the three previous series mentioned above so I was really excited about this book and eager to read it. I had to wait for my library to get it but it was well worth the wait, I loved this book. It was great to have previous characters return and Gaia's journey was wonderful, complete with its ups and downs. I was hooked from beginning to end and read this in one sitting. I highly recommend this book. While it can be read as a stand alone book, I would suggest reading the previous series especially Boston Dragons and Phoenix Brother if you'd like a better grip of all the characters.

Firstly I want to say that this is a really well written fantasy/paranormal/romance tale. Secondly, this is NOT a standalone by any means. Thirdly, you need to read it AFTER the other books Ms Chase has written or you will be as clueless as I was. Sadly, I haven't read any of her other books as yet (I intend to now), so this book was a bad decision on my part to review.
I think it's a wrap up of sorts, for at least a dozen other paranormal books (shapeshifters, dragons, witches etc) - a big epilogue you might say, where Gaia (mother nature) finally gets her man. (a human, Arron - a retired surgeon and also a witch apparently...) An older couple certainly, as mother nature is 14 billion years old. The main focus of the book is not their romance - at least for the first half, as the author is busy wrapping up stories for all the other couples in previous books. Therefore I was confused and floundering in a sea of characters. Plus - multiple points of view. Sad face.
What I did read was entertaining and very inventive and from a great imagination, but please, do read the other books before this one. If I had read them first, I would probably be giving this book 4 or 5 stars. As a stand alone, 3 stars. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the hero in this book was older (with 2 grown up children of his own) because in no way did the blurb make it sound this way. My only problem was that he was characterised as such a dad that all I could think of was him being my dad and then by the time romance eventually rolled around I was a bit ick about it.
Our heroine is Mother Nature and looking to find a mate of her own. Her sisters (Karma and Fate) try to hook her up online to different degrees of unsuccessfulness while in the meantime our heroine is striking up a friendship with a human man who kind of gets her? That friendship eventually leads to more the more they get to know each other.
The heroine is Mother-freaking-Nature and not was she a ball of hoots! From not understanding colloquialisms and a lot of what humans do she was the definite star of the book! But what that meant was that she kind of outshined everyone including the hero and their romance, and honestly the romance plot line felt secondary and was VERY slow.

This was an interesting one. Gaia has been the supreme being in all the books I've read by Ashlyn Chase. This book is how Gaia gets her guy. I have to admit it was quite funny to see Fate and Karma at work in different ways. It was really good to catch up with past characters to see what was new with them. I still adore the phoenix mother and how she dotes on all her kids.
Aaron was an intriguing choice for the goddess to make for a friend and confidant. Their meeting was quite amusing and I really thought they had a good connection. I think the goddess came across more as a power hungry spoiled brat, but then again that is why her sisters were trying to bring her down a peg or two. It was a quick read that was entertaining.
3/5 for me.

This was not my cup of tea. It has a breezy, superficial tone that reminded me of romantic comedies from the 1950s and 60s. I kept imagining Jayne Mansfield playing Gaia.
Gaia is a bossy Mother Nature, who gets a taste of her own medicine when she falls for a human, Aaron. I liked Aaron, I thought he was a grounded character. I found Gaia naive and annoying. The same joke about her being out of touch with humanity was played over and over.
I couldn’t get into this and struggled to finish it. I’ve been picky about paranormals lately. I hated the opening but if you persevere, it does get better once Gaia lands on earth.

I always wanted to read a book by Ashlyn Chase because she has been highly recommended. This book was my first experience. It doesn’t list a series but almost feels like a continued story. I found a lot of promise with the book description. Unfortunately the tone of the book was similar to a “zany” sitcom and I’m not a fan sitcoms and their dialogue. The tone not withstanding at it is a stylistic preference, the author has an easy to read style. However, there were too many side stories that were distracting from the main story of Mother Nature and Dr Arron. That’s why I gave this book only 3 stars.

A really cute way to wrap up the series.
Gaia is all set to punish all the para-norms for telling their human mates what they are. Her sister Fate steps in and gets her to hold off. Both of her sisters Fate and Karma convince her that she needs to get some and should date. And they set about finding human males to date Gaia. The god Pan thinks she should date him - NO.
Gaia finds Aaron while in the rain forest and there is an attraction.
After a few big fails thanks to Pan the sisters lock him away. Needless to say he gets free.
Aaron and Gaia decide they like each other and they decide to date.
Cute story.

The last book of a series I have long loved makes this a bittersweet review. The quirky cast we’ve come to know and love join together to help Mother Nature with the mother of all problems- falling in love. With a healthy balance of snark, sass, and sweet, we get to fall in love alongside the best of company. I am going to miss this series so much. Hopefully, we will see Ashlyn Chase bring a new world for us to love and enjoy to life soon.
Thank you to Ashlyn Chase, Sourcebooks, and NetGalley for allowing me the chance to read this story and share my honest thoughts and opinions with others.

This was an entertaining, well-written book. Gaia (Mother Nature) is fed up with paranormals breaking rule about not revealing their supernatural powers to humans and transports herself to the rain forest to calm down. She encounters Dr. Aaron Samuels, who has left his job as a cardiac surgeon. They open up to each other about the troubles in their lives, and Gaia begins to wonder what would happen if she opened her heart and was honest with Aaron...and herself. I enjoyed this book and would read others by this author.

The Goddess Gets Her Guy by Ashlyn Chase definitely has some fun and humorous moments, with Mother Nature “Gaia” at the mercy of her sisters Fate and Karma when a decision is made that she seriously needs some lovin`. So, while I didn’t mind the story or the concept, The Goddess Gets Her Guy is not one of my favourite books by this author, and not necessarily a PNR that I would recommend ahead of other fabulous stories. I will say though, that the cover is exceptional.

This book was so good! I loved the banter in it. The characters are quirky, and smart-mouthed, and oh so funny. Poor Mother Nature! She can't seem to find a man or hang onto one so her entourage decide to help her. An socially awkward human doctor stumbles onto the scene and finds himself in more trouble than he can handle. Some want to help because they care, others just want to make life difficult for her, but love will always win!

It's the first book I read in this series and found it entertaining and engrossing.
I liked the great world building, the fleshed out cast of characters and the well crafted plot.
I will surely read the other installment in this series.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This is a light fun read about a cranky goddess searching for love. Gaia or Mother Nature, is a grumpy, stressed out lady. Her sisters post to find her true love. But true love finds itself. This is silly and funny and good fun.

What an incredible ending to a fabulous series. This book is about Gia and her struggle to find balance in her life. This is a fun book and the characters you get to read about from the other books is great. A definite must read!!!

Flaky and dull. Maybe good as a Young Romance novel if you take out the descriptive sex scenes. The dialog felt unnatural like something out of a high school play. Just meh. It had three stars until the spaceship showed up 🤦

I loved this book. It was fun, cute and funny read. Will most assuredly be rereading this book at some point after reading the rest of the various series by this author. This is a keeper. This author is a favorite of mine.

Love it 😊 it's funny the goddess has a backbone and a lot of different paranormal is introduced
All of Ashlyn books all linked together with different storylines and everybody from the other books intertwine with the current books that she's written recommend deeply to read this.

Mother Nature tries internet dating? Sounds unlikely and is hilarious! The author combines mythology and the paranormal to create a community full of love and fun. What an enjoyable read!

A great read, links all her other series together. You don't have to have read her other books to read this one but you will definitely want to after you this.

A good story, funny and entertaining. I like the characters and the overall read and would read more by this author
