I absolutely am loving Nicola’s books. Every book I read so far has me lmao or giving me the feels. Lily & Gabe are a couple I will never forget and The General he was absolutely hilarious. The story had me hooked from the start and the characters had me not wanting to put my kindle down. Another amazing read that everyone needs to one click.

I'm absolutely in love with this Nicola Rendell book! It's fun, quirky, cute, and swoonworthy. Gabe and Lily have one of the most entertaining meet-cutes EVER!

Sparks fly immediately and these I can't get enough of these two! You'll want more and more because, naturally, you will feel it too.

There are many authors I love, but only a handful I’d cancel Christmas for if one of their books was releasing on that day, and Nicola Rendell is one of those precious few for me. A rare and gifted storyteller, her stories are always so unique, so electric, so utterly satisfying in every possible way, but it is her whimsical writing style, the palpable magic between her characters, and her flair for making the ordinary extraordinary that have turned every one of her books into a treasured reading experience for me. As always, I was smitten from the very first page, and having now read this book twice in as many days, I just know that this is one of those books I’d want with me if I were ever stranded on a deserted island.

I loved the premise of this book - I'm a huge fan of paranormal and cryptozoology shows - so the blurb drew me in, but Nicola Rendell's writing kept my attention. Her books are funny, smart, sassy and a whole lot of sexy. DYFIT is no exception. It just might be Rendell's best yet, although I say that with every book.

I loved the chemistry between Gabe and Lily. And as with every Rendell book, the secondary characters - yup, I'm talking about the General - stole the show. She always manages to write such interesting and lovable pets.

4.5 stars. This is such a good book! Super sweet and oh-so-swoony! This is Gabe and Lily's book. Gabe is a reality tv star. He stars in a show where he travels the world and does crazy adventures. He is shooting a pilot for a new ghost themed show, so he heads to Savannah for a few days to check out local haunts. There he meets Lily on the Fourth of July and there is fireworks between them. They meet at a park where she accidentally clocks him with a microphone and it is near-love at first sight. Lily owns a sound production company and Gabe's producer hires her to work with him in setting up sound recording in the haunted house he is staying in. As the two work together and spend time together, they fall for each other. They have to figure out how to make a relationship work between them when he is a world traveler and she is just a small town girl.

I loved Gabe and Lily. Gabe was such a good guy. Sexy, sweet and so swoony in the way he adored Lily. She was fun and sweet too. Lily had relatable insecurities and fears, which it was great to see her overcome. I loved the way they fell in love what seemed like gradually, but also by spending a lot of time together over a short period of time. I loved the little gifts they gave each other. They were just perfect together and fit together so well. The writing was good and the story was unique and original. This book was so romantic and fun. It was funny, sexy, and sweet. There are quirky characters and a wacky talking parrot. I loved the Savannah, GA setting and all the descriptions of local color. I loved the reality adventure show and ghost hunting aspect. This book is not a paranormal book but the ghost hunting adventures the couple went on her so fun and hilarious.

I say this every time, but I love everything Nicola Rendell writes. Her writing style and her stories are the very best match for me as a reader. She is my very fave and I just love and fully connect to her books so well. It's hard to think of what else to say. I just think this book is near perfection. The perfect combination of sexy, sweet and funny. I can't wait to see what Ms. Rendell comes up with next!

This bo0k was just so much fun to read and I derived much pleasure in falling headlong into Gabe and Lily's world. Right from the get go on how they meet, right up until that last page.

After Gabe and Lily's initial meeting they are suddenly thrust together in more ways than one and they make the most of it until a contractual clause causes Lily to pull back the reins on the two of them but Gabe is nothing if not wily and he's hoping to get just what he wants.

"Her, who made my heart hurt.
Her, who I wanted to be with so bad it ached.
Her, who had begun to change everything for me."

Lily was the good girl but for some reason good girl Lily disappeared when Gabe was around. She turned into some wanton creature who wanted what she wanted. Unfortunately good girl Lily was lurking and regardless of what she felt she couldn't risk so much, so a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

"Her posture stiffened, and she shook her head.
"I melt when I look at you. I can't melt right now."

This book has such a fantastic ensemble of background characters:
The General is the most fabulous book pet/animal I've ever had the luxury to read. He added so much fun and dimension to the story. It would have been a sweet story without him but he added such panache to the story line.
Ivan is absolutely adorable especially when combined with Gabe's hotness. Baby+Hot Man = Ovaries exploding!!!!
Daisy was a great sister addition and I really hope that we get a book for her and Ivan to find someone to love them.

If you've ever read a Nicola Rendell book, you know they'll be a deliciously sexy man with a cool job, an adorably quirky female and an outrageously funny animal you can't help but love. In Do You Feel It Too? Nicola doesn't stray from her successful formula and I couldn't be happier about it!

Urban legend hunter, Gabe Powers, makes ghost hunting and monster tracking look good! An accidental heartthrob, he enjoys globetrotting on random adventures for the viewers. But no amount of swimming with crocodiles and cliff diving could prepare him for the adrenaline jolt he received from a small town girl in Savannah. One look at her and there were fireworks, literally and figuratively.

Lilly Jameson is about as far from an adventure hunter as they come. Rarely straying farther than the borders of her beloved Savannah, she's a small town girl with firmly planted roots. Running her own sound business has provided her with some strange encounters but when a handsome, celebrity ghost hunter wants her to provide audio for his latest episode, she's blown away by the opportunity and the insane chemistry between them!

This book was a seriously adorable, unputdownable read! The meet cute between our H/h couldn't have been funnier and I loved every single minute of them getting to know each other. Not one to be upstaged, the General, is the hysterical parrot that stole the show! Loved everything about this story! Great read!

Quick, fast paced sweet insta-lust, insta-love story.
Lighthearted, finny and heartfelt romance had a unique twist towards ghost hunting. The story flowed well and overall it was entertaining, and the characters were well developed.
The banter between the characters was funny and each swoonworthy.
Nonetheless, as easy as I am in overlooking bad behavior from alpha males who behave like a holes, Gabe was the real scary character as he gave me the heebie jeebies with his lack of concern about certain behaviors.
3.5 stars!

If you’re a fan of hot and steamy insta-love mixed with a swoony alpha and a whole heap of dirty talking then this is the book for you!

Nicola delivers yet another blinder with Do You Feel It Too? where we follow the story of Legend Hunter Gabe and the quirky sound tech Lily when a chance encounter leads to them spending an awful lot of time together in very close proximity.

Queue the sexual chemistry, and let me tell you they have it in spades! Yes, it’s an extremely instant display of affection but they say when you know you know so I wasn’t put off by this, instead embracing it and enjoying it for the gorgeousness it is.

And let’s not forget the General! This awesome African Grey Parrot has me in stitches many times, especially with his tirade of WW1 language, and his siren!!! Lol!!!

Nicola’s books always have me hooked from the start and I thoroughly enjoyed Lily and Gabe’s story.

I have quickly become a huge fan of Nicola Rendell. Her books are sexy and charming and so much fun to read. In Do You Feel It Too? we have a captivating story that was funny , sweet and full of chemistry.

Gabe and Lily were combustible together. Though their initial meeting was completely awkward and embarrassing, you could feel their chemistry whenever they were together. Gabe was sexy, swoony and so damn sexy. Lily is cautious, but also strong and determined. But even with all chemistry they share, their lives are on a different path. He is building a new show travelling around the world. Her life is in Savannah. Can they find a way to blend their worlds?

Do You Feel It Too? by Nicola Rendell was such a charming read. I loved the story, the characters, including the most amazing pet ever. This was such a fun story to get lost in!

Gabe has the job that we all want as he gets to travel the world to either confirm or debunk myths for The Powers of Suggestion, the show he hosts. He currently finds himself in Savannah, Georgia where he meets Lily and she challenges him on every level.

Lily has her roots firmly planted in Savannah to be close to her family and she owns a successful sound business. When she finds herself working with Gabe she knows she needs to keep her distance as he will be here and gone and getting involved with him could mean the end of this contract.

The chemistry between them is off the charts but is there a happy ever after for two people with very different dreams for their future?

Gabe is strong and determined which matches perfectly against Lily’s feisty and fiery side. Not only if their story romantic but the heat radiates off the pages. This is my first story by this author but she has definitely found a new reader. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This funny, sweet & sexy story captured me right from the start! It is a fresh and unique story that stole my heart and made me fall for Lily and Gabe just as quickly as they fell for each other. They are total opposites, with Gabe having a life filled with adventure, and travel, while Lily's world is small, and safe, but filled with good friends, and family. Their 'meet cute' is so funny and along with the fire works in the sky, their own sparks fly between them right from the start. They unknowingly become colleagues on Gabe's current ghost hunting project making it impossible to ignore their explosive chemistry and the feelings that grow between them. But Gabe is only in Savannah for a short time, will he be able to leave behind the the woman who is so perfect for him and has made him think of home? I loved Lily and Gabe so much, and thought they were so perfect together. They were both honest and kind, and they worked well together on the job and in their passionate desires. They went on some fun adventures, and the quirky characters they encountered made this romance even more enchanting, with the General being my favorite! I also loved the ending, because it was so perfect for them, but I definitely wanted more. This book has it all, it's funny, has witty banter, it has exhilarating, heartbreaking, and heartwarming moments, and lots of hot & dirty sensual passion. You definitely do not want to miss this delightful and sexy romance!

I felt every smile, every heartbeat, every passionate moment of Do You Feel It Too? by Nicola Rendell. The book is witty and charming, with a deep vein of heartfelt emotion, and a cast of exceptional characters. This might be my favorite of Ms. Rendell's work to date!

As an adventure seeking television star, Gabe has landed in Savannah looking for new ideas, hopefully in an old house with a resident ghost or two. When he spots sound tech Lily, he sees stars of a different type, quite literally.

My lord, I love Gabe and Lily! Gabe's alpha male perfection is amped up by a dirty mouth, a terrific sense of humor, and a generous heart that just wants a home. He's the absolute definition of swoonworthy! Sassy and sexy, Lily is everything I want in a heroine. She's quirky and fun, loyal to a fault, and she's not quite as confident as she appears. For both of them, the hidden vulnerability made them that much more appealing as I read. I truly wanted them to find their happiness with each other.

And I can't forget to mention the General. He steals the show throughout the book. Nicola Rendell's love of animals is apparent in her work, and her ability to give them a unique "voice" in the story is brilliant.

This is a 5 Star, Must Read story. Well written, unique and engaging, it was a joy to experience!

Since I read Shimmy Bang Sparkle a few weeks ago, I was quite intrigued by this new author for me, Nicola Rendell, and on that book, her writting was AWESOME AF! I had loved that story so damn much that I knew I had to continue reading that author. And then Do You Feel It Too? happened.

A love story between a TV host/legend hunter and a sound engineer & her parrot. What more unique and more intriguing than that? And their first meeting? God damn, I couldn’t pick my jaw from the floor and stop my stomach hurting from laughter. Don’t ask how I got to do both those things at the same time. It’s still a mystery to me. Should I call Gabe? :p *just kidding*

Gabe Powers and Lily Jameson. Two people who,even though they live so different life styles, they find the way in the end to become true lovers and find their HEA. Their chemistry is for sure undeniable and no one can ignore it. They burn like fire when they are close to each other. In and out of the bedroom. I loved every one of their scenes because every one of them had something that made them that much more amazing.

Gabe Powers is the kind of guy romance books are written about. And Lily, well she was a beautiful character, someone I felt very affectionate towards. This one could be classified as an insta love story but it didn't feel that way while reading. Their banter, their chemistry and their shared humour made it feel like a really rich story.

Can their love survive the fact that he's a globe trotting TV star & she's a sweet stay at home Georgia Peach? Fears are uncovered and mistakes are made. I really loved how the story was handled & definitely recommend.

Gabe and Lily had chemistry that burned the pages up no matter what they were doing. Nicola Rendell is a master at writing the perfect story that you will never forget and this one is no different. Make sure to one click this book, perfect to escape a terrible day.

Gabe Powers is definitely quality book boyfriend material; he has a kickass career as the host of the show, The Powers of Suggestion, traveling the world and uncovering some of the world’s most well-known urban legends. He’s has an incredible on-air personality, which makes him quite popular among his female fans, but what makes him such an appealing hero is the fact that he’s an all-around amazing guy, which Nicola Rendell sufficiently illustrates throughout the pages of
Do You Feel It Too?

Lily Jameson is nothing like the women she feels someone like Gabe Powers would desire, so the idea that he’s the least bit interested in her boggles her mind, but as much as she doesn’t understand his attraction, she’s more than willing to let things play out between them, and in doing so, Gabe helps Lily to be more adventurous and much more vocal, especially when it comes to what she wants and needs in a sexual partner.

There’s an insta-love feel to Gabe and Lily’s relationship; things between them advance and deepen quite quickly, which may not set well with some readers, given the fact that they come from two different worlds and have differing career and life goals. And while the pace of the story line did seem rushed, at times, Nicola Rendell does illustrate just how infatuated the hero and heroine seem to be with one another and as they spend more time together, opening themselves up in ways like they never have, it’s clear that there’s something special and significant between them and their willingness to explore everything they’re feeling for each other makes their relationship timetable a bit easier to understand.

As much as I enjoyed the scenes between Gabe and Lily as well as their interactions with other characters, Lily’s parrot, The General, definitely steals the show. Its flair for the dramatics and its over-the-top personality make for some entertaining encounters and add just the right amount of hilarity to this feel good, steamy read.

Every time I read one of Nicola Rendell’s stories, I always finish with a smile on my face and a case of the warm fuzzies, and Gabe and Lily’s story definitely continues that trend, and I’m sure the ones that follow will do so as well.

This was a pleasant surprise. It was funny, sensual and just plain fun. I read it in one sitting couldn't put it down the sex scenes were hot and the love was hotter. While chasing ghost they felt something totally off the charts but it was each other and n0t a ghost.

Do you feel it too? And I did feel it!! All the swoons, all the sweet and so much humor sprinkled in with the emotion.

Gabe Powers is the a tv host, a ghost hunter and urban legend hunter. He is extremely good looking with a giant fan club.
Lily Jameson is the hometown quirky girl. There is immediate attraction but Lily considers Gabe completely out of her league.

“I’d spent my whole career avoiding dangerous situations. I get within ten feet of Lily and it’s one disaster after another. She was like the Bermuda Triangle.”

I absolutely loved these characters and the General was amazing! He flies to life right off of the pages!

“Everything else will come and go. But love will change your world if you let it.”

The chemistry between these two is completely off the charts! With the banter and dirty talk alone I expected my ereader to burn up in my hands!!
