Matchstick Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 26 ratings

Canadian best-selling author Cheryl Lee Harnish brings sexy wit and delicious suspense, with a supernatural twist.

Rayelle and Nathanael don't know it yet, but despite the fact neither believe they are destined to find love, the Universe has a plan. A very BIG plan. The problem is getting the two together, and keeping them that way.

So what happens when you take a stubborn, self-prescribed recluse with a destructive dark side who avoids men at all costs, and collide her world with a drop-dead beautiful, too-good-looking-for-his-own-good, mysterious male whose one purpose is to maintain justice?

Nothing. But. Trouble.

Rayelle is one of the lucky few who has found her soul mate. Well, sort of. She has no idea that the bizarre supernatural mishap which occurred five months ago was caused by a stranger who had come too close to her. She’s also unaware that the enigmatic invisible presence which visits her each night since, is him.

If Nathanael has his way, she will never know.

He can never be that close to her again. It isn’t worth the risk. The concern is not for his safety—he is immortal, he can survive just about anything. It’s for hers. There's also no greater pain than to love someone from afar—to never come close, or kiss, or even touch. No way will he allow her to suffer as he does. He'll do whatever is necessary to ensure she never knows he exists.

But destiny can’t be avoided. And the Universe is willing to go to any lengths to bring these star-crossed lovers together. The hand of fate will have its way, like it or not.

Fair Warning: this book contains incredibly hot celestial beings, a very clever and determined female, erotic fantasy and sexual energy play, metaphysical shenanigans and a whole carnival ride of emotions. So, if an abundance of humor, heartbreak and mystery in one read is too much for you, then you'd better pass on this story.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Cheryl is a diehard romantic and lover of all things spiritual and supernatural. Combining them was a natural step of progression for this established New Age author who wrote her first fiction short story at age fourteen.

Aside from writing, Cheryl is an artist, avid shower singer, kitchen dancer, graphic designer, technology geek and all round nerd. If you look hard enough you can often see her invisible black rimmed glasses have slipped down her nose.

Her home base is in Vancouver, Canada, but you will often find she is off traveling to teach intuition classes or making an escape to her most beloved destination spot in Port Stephens, Australia.

Cheryl was born in Halifax, Canada in 1970. Her journey into the public spotlight began in 2007 with the release of her first oracle deck, the Path of the Soul, Destiny Cards. It was a tough road for this self-published author. "Most major authors and recognized public figures are backed by big publishing companies. Not me. I'm proud to be an indie author. I never dreamed things would go as far as they have though." Cheryl states.

By word of mouth alone, her first deck made it's way around the globe. "It was a funny time for me because I was struggling internally with my fears and insecurities of being in the spotlight along with putting myself and my work out there for the world to see. I had to really push through some old blocks before I could feel comfortable being seen in such a public way." Luckily for us, she did.

Cheryl has become an inspiration to many, proving by example that if you trust and follow your Soul's calling, you can do anything. She has become a motivational and heart-felt speaker, touching people's lives where ever she goes.

Standing tall at only 1.5 meters, this lively free spirit is empowering audiences around the world.

    I loved the story really. A fabulous 'heroine'. I loved the lessons - we are here to experience EVERYTHING not to be GOOD so to speak.
    I loved the humor and the emotion. I am however a happily ever after story reader which is ridiculous as in this illusory world we have created
    there appear few happily ever after scenarios. I hope the next book isn't long in coming

    As I entered the fantasy world of the story of Matchstick I became enthralled by the characters created by a master story teller. I cannot wait to revisit the characters of this book in Cheryl's next book. A great read! Kay

    What a read! Steaming hot love scenes after a gentle build up that nevertheless never bores, as well as action and mysteries that makes me want to read more. Great book!

    Book is written in first person which typically I don't like because you end up rehashing the same scene just from different points of view. In this case the beginning is a little bit rough in that regard but towards chapter 5 or so the side switching begins to flow nicely. To begin with you have Rayelle who is a size 1 and pretty, her sister who is beautiful, Japh, Nathaniels' right hand man, who is gorgeous followed by Nathaniel who is a stunner. You will get a Twilight/True Blood feel but for the New Age lover in that Nathaniel is an immortal Angel and Rayelle is someone who he instantly loves but can't get close to due to mysterious circumstances which may or may not have to do with her aura, special gifts or inhuman beginnings.

    While I did enjoy the book for what it was you will have to prepare for a storyline that has a whole lot of passion but not a whole lot of a plot which does not really begin to get developed until midway through the book.

    I rate this as five stars, let me explain, I generally do not read romance or fantasy books, and while a page turner of suspense I was still sceptical! However, this is a book full of lessons for those who want to learn more about intuition. Enjoy the read and listen for the hidden messages.
