Heather Harrison sees ghosts. It's not something she brags about. In fact, she wished she didn't. Communicating (or not communicating) with the dead only leads to heartache, and for her it led to a divorce. For the most part, she's happy being single. She's got a good business, close friends, and a slightly overprotective brother. What more does a forty-something woman nee

Another great book in this series. This time we help Heather get over her grief. Heather's grief is over the loss of a child 10 years ago not by a husband/boyfriend. I can never understand the grief that a mother goes through when losing a child I would just hope that after 10 years they could find some joy. Martin and Jan come into Heather's life I believe at the right time to help her get over the grief. With the help of her best friends and her brother Heather helps both Martin understand Jan

Her age, over forty, her tragic history, has not kept Heather from being a business success. Nor has it kept her "gift" a secret from her friends. The three of them have powers that combined are formidable. Said friends, as well as her grandmother (in ghost form), decided she needs a man. Not that she isn't attracted to the man fixing her house and other projects. The problem is the problem the man has.
Can the three of them help him so they are free to explore their attraction? The friends may h ...more

My heart broke for Heather in the other two books and I wasn't quite sure how Michelle was going to bring her story to life. She did an amazing job bringing depth to these characters that makes you feel their pain along with them. Heather and Martin truly compliment each other and I look forward to what she has in store for this trio and their amazing guys. This world she created is truly amazing and I fall in love with each character all over again as you witness the trials they go through and

It was fun, it was sweet, it was emotional... and CAKE!
Somehow, I always end up hungry when I read a book from this series. Did I say cake?
Oh, a review. Right!
The book was fabulous. I was looking very much forward to Heather's story and Michelle M. Pillow did not disappoint.

Loving reading all these PWF books - love finding the over 40's with a little help from Magic!

I almost put off reading this book because book one and two were similar in how Lorna and Vivien's deceased person's were contacted. I thought for sure it would happen to Heather in a similar way and she would be put in some peril unrelated blah blah... nope.... It was anything but that! This book handled it a completely different, yet very satisfying way. There are some downright hilarious moments, some sad tear jerking moments, and some tense borderline scary moments. I made the mistake of cho

Good story
Good sorry for Heather, but was too quick in my mind. Lorna’s story was pretty good, but too short. Viv’s story was much too short and lacked character development and this story was a little better than Viv’s.
The story line is good, but I felt like it just a cliff notes version of what the full story should have been. I haven’t read this author before these books and I am wondering if it’s her style.
Sounds like the series will be continuing with a new character potentially, unsure wh ...more

I forgot how good this series is!
You can read the synopsis to find out what the book is about because I don't like giving away the story. What I do like talking about is how well the book is written.
Michelle Pillow is a new author to me with this series...I read the first book Second Chance Magic last year and loved how the book just flowed flawlessly.
It's the same with this book...the story kept my interest and made me keep reading. The characters are wonderful and easy to relate to them.

The third book from this delightful new series. Just because your 40 doesn't mean your life is over. It seems for most when a lost as big as a loved one comes your life slows down leaving your desire to more on almost becomes no existent. For Heather it becomes just that, that's until she gets a little help from forces around her who want nothing but the best for her. Not to mention a very vibrant little girl and her hot clueless dad.

~4.5 STARS~
I found this story a bit sad at times with Heather's past, and even with some of the things going on with Jan.
Heather and Martin together though are so sweet. There’s a bit of mystery, but humor as well, making this an entertaining read. I couldn’t put the story down once I started it. I do hope there is more of Jan in the future and I'm excited to find out what happens next for the three friends. ...more

Heartbreaking, but beautiful. I knew Heather’s story was going to be a sad one based off what we knew of her from the previous two books and I wasn’t wrong. There’s lot of emotions throughout the book, but also lots of healing. I enjoyed getting to watch Heather move forward with her life and overcome her obstacles. Loved that Lorna and Vivien are so prevalent in the book as well. Also, I’m so glad this isn’t the conclusion of the series!
Great Characters
Love the mature women in this fabulous series. All over 40. All going through some sort of heartache. Magically brought together by a dead medium. For what purpose? First to help each other heal their wounded souls. Then to help others, whether they be people or ghosts. Three souls were healed in this book. One a precious 10 year old girl. Great story. And a good romance.

Audiobook review: An interesting and entertaining story about lost family and love and moving past grief to find happiness again. I like the addition of January to the group and look forward to more of these stories! The narrator did a fantastic job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene. I won a copy of the audiobook in a giveaway and have voluntarily left this review.
What an emotional read! I loved the depth of emotion in this book. A Mother's love never dies. Heather's journey to healing is a long one. Losing her son puts her in autopilot. Her happy ending comes with help from unexpected places. A great book with a happy ending. I received an advanced copy of this book and freely leave this honest review.

I've been waiting on Heather's story since the first book and it was worth the wait! Parts were laugh out loud funny and parts were heartbreaking. But nothing beats a person going through the own personal hell and coming out the other side in peace! Best book in the series... best book I've read lately!

Heather's story
I loved this one.... I was sad for Heather because all she wanted was to talk to her son, but his spirit wouldn't talk to her. Instead, chose a young girl named January. Heather, Lorna and Vivien help Jan and her dad, since she's like Heather.
Their powers are getting stronger and there's cake. Can't wait for the next book !! ...more

It's Heather's turn. The 3 friends have found each other and help each other heal from previous heartbreak. First was Lorna, second was Vivian and now it's Heather's turn.

Just about perfect
After reading the first two books in this series I couldn't wait to read this one. I love how different the characters are but also how much they have in common. My best friend and I had that type of friendship until she passed away almost 10 years ago. Thanks for the happy tears! I can't wait to see what happens in the next book!! ...more

The Fourth Power
The series is amazing, three wonderful awesome women,
each battling with the pain and sorrows of what live has handed them.
Their friendship is a kind of sisterhood, they'd do anything for each other.
There's lots here, magic, ghosts, mmysteries and love.
Great read

With each woman in this series struggles figuring out how to find her peace, sometimes it eludes her, and sometimes it is as easy as eating cake. Great story line, the characters are all developed and growing as they move through this adventure together and strong. Can’t wait to see what is next on the menu!

Just.......wow
I'm not sure I have words for this one. Heather's story was the biggest heart gripper so far. To find peace while at the same time helping a little girl who was just like her was touching. And then there was the humor with friends and sibling bonds sprinkled throughout that made it all just that much more heartwarming. ...more

Love Heather!
Beautiful! I was wondering how Heather’s story would play out and honestly it was so beautiful! It didn’t seem forced. It wasn’t overly gut wrenching and emotional. It had just the right amount of sadness and joy. And that ending!?! Eek! Can’t wait for the next one!

Keep them coming...
I love Heather, Lorna and Viv and can’t wait for their next adventure...who is this mysterious woman with Julia’s ring? Why did Julia have so many rings? Could this be Julia reincarnated? So many questions...so few answers. Until next time 😘
