Great character development!
I love the struggle of the two main characters as they disagree over "mind reading" being a possibility or not. The science and the mythical battle was good as we see the main lady struggle with preconceived notions. I enjoyed this book very much - a fast read.

This would have been great but the MFC Beatrix was too judgy. Plus, the title isn't right.
Kellan is not a mind reader. He can 'see' images of a person's soul mate. Kellan was an interesting person. He wasn't perfect but he has a gift and was using to his advantage. My biggest problem was Beatrix constant judgy of the Kellan. She even had inner dialogue and thoughts that she was being to hard on him and over judging the situation but doesn't she stop? No! Her character growth wasn't there. I was expecting her to start realizing her character flaw and work on being a better person. But she didn't and by the time she started to do so, it was too late. I was hating her and thought Kellan could do so much better than her.Kellan wasn't perfect and had flaws but he did start to grow. When he started working as in intern for Beatrix, he started to become interested in the work, wanting to learn more and expand his knowledge. He started to realize also some of his past mistakes. He grew and became even more likeable.And finally, the title is completely wrong. Mind Reader has NOTHING to do with this book. It isn't Kellan's gift. I don't know where the author came up with the title?I giving this 3 stars because Kellan was the truly best character and I dislike giving below 3 stars to reviews. It was an interesting book but I would only read it as KU book. Not worth the purchase.

Another Winner by Kirsty McManus!
If you loved 1996, you're going to love this one! If you enjoy a bit of whimsy or magical realism in your RomCom, check this one out! Ms. McManus manages to capture the (secretly hopeful) skepticism portrayed by stem cell scientific rep Bea, and the rakish charm, yet possibly reforming Kellan Gallo. Gallant Gallo, he definitely is!The characters are absolutely captivating and a delightful, quick, fun read. Full of plenty of heart and a few touching moments, this book will definitely have you questioning the definition of a soulmate...and if you're with "The ONE." A 5 Stars Read!!!One caveat: The book may seem a little slow about a third of the way in, but keep with it--it's so worth it!!!A keeper & a re-read! Now, back to re-reading 1996! Enjoy!!!

💕Fun, sweet romance with a twist of magic 🔮and suspense: delightful!
😍I loved this story and the utter positivity of Kellan the Mind Reader's gift. Bea, the science-minded skeptic, and her lively BFF and colleague Charlie were women I'd like to socialize with and Kellan is just the perfect hero. And the ending was expectedly upbeat and so fitting. I totally recommend the book😍😍😍Author Kirsty McManus is SO good at producing upbeat romances with smart but relatable women. I have read and thoroughly enjoyed at least a half dozen of her works. Once again, I loved the reading journey but I am sad😣 that it's over!

Entertaining
This author has a way of creating humour and fun with a very Australian sounding flow of words. It is laid back and yet the characters are sweet, strong and sexy individuals who have to deal with the realities of love and some not so nice twists from not so nice people.Fun read

Very enjoyable
This sounded like a cute summer read, and it was that. But it was also more. The characters were real to me. It didn't seem at all formulaic, which so many books are these days. Plus, I absolutely hate poor editing and spelling, and I didn't notice any mistakes. I highly recommend this. I got it for free because it was a special on BookBub, but I liked it so much that I am paying for another one of McManus' books!

Fun read
This is a light romance with interesting characters. The concept of a guy who can determine who is and the time frame to meet your true love is a bit out there, but the concept is fun.

Total Pageturner
From the start, this book had me giggling to myself. I have so enjoyed every page. I loved scientists Beatrice and Charlie and, of course, how could I not adore Kellan. The pages basically turned over themselves as they were sizzling (in a nice way of course)😉😉This is the second laugh out loud book I've read of Kirsty McManus and both books were written so well; fun alsoWell done Kirsty 👏👏

Loved this book!
How can you not love a book about soul mates?! This is a slow burn romance as it takes Bea a while to warm up to Kellan and the whole idea of soulmates. But Kellan, oh boy, he’s just gorgeous. Warm, caring, and slightly sinful, I kept wanting Bea to just love him already! But it was totally worth the wait. I’d love to read more about Bea’s bestie, Charlie, and how she met her soulmate. I’m sure there’s a story there, and I’d read it in a heartbeat. Loved this book, looking forward to Kirsty McManus’s next one.

No Need to Reread
When I first started reading this book, I was rather disgusted with Kellan's promiscuous ways; I accept that sexual encounters are often depicted as prolific and indiscriminate, but it took a while for me to warm up to the H. Ultimately the story was alright, but does not warrant keeping on my shelf to be reread.
