Review:

Script of the Heart by Robin D. Owens is the 15^th book in her wonderful Celta Heart Mates series. The Celta series takes place in a futuristic world, filled with magic, animal familiars, telepathy and romance. 

We meet our heroine Giniana Felix at the start, as she is desperate to come up with funds to save her Fam cat, who is very old, and possibly dying.  There is a possible last chance treatment that cost a fortune, and Giniana  is working overtime for other houses as a healer for those residences.  Giniana has no time for herself, and when she meets an actor, she brushes him off, since she has no love for actors, because of her childhood family memories.

Klay St. Johnswort  (Johns), our hero, is one of the best actors, and now with his show closing, he is desperate to find a new gig.  When he hears about a missing script by a well-known author, Johns is determined to find the script, which will help him win the lead of the new show.

He meets Giniana and is immediately attracted to her, even though she dislikes actors.  In a short time, Johns and Giniana will act on their feelings, and a romance begins.  Johns begins to worry about Giniana working herself to the bone, and not eating or getting enough sleep. As his feelings grow, he does what he can to help Giniana with her struggles, and to prove to her he is worthy of her love…actors are not all bad.

Johns is at first afraid of her fam cat, but things change when he rescues a kitten.  Giniana will accept the kitten, and her older cat decides the kitten is his fam.  This was a cute and fun part of the story, as the kitten was adorable, and the older cat adopted the kitten. I have always loved the fams in all the stories.  Listening to them speak telepathically is always enjoyable and so much fun. In Script of the Heart, it was great to have two Fams.  I really liked Johns and Giniana, and rooted hard for them to stay together.

What follows is an exciting, sweet romantic tale, with a bit of a mystery finding the script, as well as the suspense if Giniana will find a way to pay for the treatment, and if it will save her Fam.  

Once again, Robin D. Owens gives us another wonderful addition to this series, with two unlikely people, who will find true love.   If you enjoy romances in a fun fantasy magic world, you should be reading this series. I am a big fan of this series, and always love visiting Celta and the Fams.
