Once Upon a Couch: Book One of the Paranormal Practice Series by Kristine Overbrook

Description

Alex Holmes is the sheriff of Villa Hollow. His town, his world, is normally rather quiet, until Dr. Lester moves in. Soon, he can't go an hour without the tendrils of her thoughts intruding in his mind. He even has to perform meditative exercise to keep from knowing when she's hungry. Added to that, the Coalition has taken her in their sights. He has every reason to keep his distance, but will listen to none of them. Dr. Josephine Lester moves into the town of Villa Hollow to open her show more psychiatric practice. In her line of work, she expects odd. She expects disturbed. What she doesn't expect is a sleepwalking vampire, a haunted house, or a coalition of people working against the paranormal element to try to run her out of town. If she leaves, where does the vegetarian werewolf go when she is distraught over eating meat? To whom does the poor housewife seeing little green men turn? If she stays, will the handsome telepathic sheriff help her keep her sanity? Sensuality Level: Behind Closed Doors show less

Don't be fooled by the hunk on the cover. There is nothing typical about the patients occupying Dr. Josephine Lester's couch. To pay her medical school debt, Josie sets up practice in Villa Hollow, where her unique clientelle includes hobbits, mediums, warewolves, vampires and the occasional human. I was utterly charmed by this light paranormal and have high hopes for the rest of the series. I loved the romantic tension between Josie and the mind-reading sexy sherrif, Alex. Alex's anxieties struck me as authentic, even with his special abilities. Author Kristine Overbrook deftly weaves mini mysteries throughout the book. I could tell you who (or what) moves the coffee but why take away your fun? If you are a fan of TV's Once Upon a Time show more or Monroe from Grimm, you must add this to your reading list, but Once Upon a Couch will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good story.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for review and I'm grateful for the opportunity to read such a delightful book. show less
