Normal sisters get you a bottle of enchanted wine for your birthday and call it a day. Mine bought me a dolphin and a whole lot of too-sexy trouble that I hadn’t bargained for.
I show up at the Silver Springs Aquarium to meet my new pet, only to discover that its owner is a handsome dark magician from an old Viking tribe. Trip's trying to do good by running a freestyle aquarium, where the animals are free to come and go at will... but he's not as friendly when it comes to humans.
Luckily, the aquarium's employees, Roman and Levi, are a whole lot friendlier. They're also twin vampire brothers who are as different as night and day--one academic and willing to spend long nights with me talking about ocean life, and the other inviting me for a midnight swim in the shark tank.
And then there’s Hudson, an easy-go-lucky sea-turtle shifter, who goes where he wants and gets what he wants, and what he wants right now is me.
When something starts interfering with the aquarium’s magic--and my new dolphin--everyone thinks I'm to blame. Usually, when it comes to magical fails, they'd be right, but this time I'm sure it's not me. Can we catch the culprit, before it’s too late?
Delphine is part of the Silver Springs Pets shared universe, but it can be read as a standalone.

Delphine is so sweet. I really liked how she loved animals. I hope we get to see more of her sister, Phoebe, in future books. The setting of the Silver Springs Aquarium was a nice touh to the story.
I’m so glad she found her happiness because she definitely needed it as much as the guys. I so happy that the crazy old fool got exactly what he deserved .

Wow just another awesome book by Ms. Cali 🥰 I absolutely love that Delphine gets her HEA in this story I have been curious about her since she popped up in Moonlight Falls and then again in other Silver Springs world stories. Then to add heat to it she gets some bondage and teasing to go with the other drama. Yes please and thank you. Also was interesting and nice to get Tripp's background story since he made such a splash in Beaver. Roman, Levi and Hudson's stories just rounded it all out. Can't wait to see what comes next from Cali in the SS world. Maybe mates for Delphine's sisters? Hmmm? Who knows?
This was a great addition to Silver Springs! I enjoyed seeing Peppermint and her guys, but thank the gods she needed her house repainted. I really felt for Delphine and how her powers made her feel about herself. I think there’s more to Dolly the dolphin than what was given to us in the book, but in Silver Springs you never know what’s going to happen next. Out of all of the guys I think Hudson was my favorite even though I wish we could have seen more of him in his shifted form. There’s steam, magic/ lack of, and definitely some fishy things going on in this book.
I absolutely loved this book! I love how her sister “adopts� a dolphin for her. I love how she meets all 4 of her mates at the aquarium. I loved how one of them was slightly hostile towards her until her tested her for the truth. I love her powers and how she’s able to save herself and help save the aquarium.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "DELPHINE" This is an interesting, riviting, entertaining story that books you from the start full of mystery, Vampire's, Shifters, Witches, suspense, intrigue, danger, angst, humor, steam, faulty magic, twists that has you turning the pages of this addicting story. Delphine has to mute her unique power by wearing a suppressant madallion without it she takes power & magic from supernatural, she doesn't think anyone wants to spend time with her because of it she travel to with her sister Phoebe to Silver Springs to meet Dolly the Dolphine she she bought her for her birthday & a job. Delphine never thought she'd meet Roman & Levi twin brothers, also Hudson a Sea-Turtle Shifter who are employees & the owner Tripp from an old Viking Tribe who is trying to do good by running a freestyle Aquarium letting the animals come & go but he's not very good with humans. Delphine wonders why there's Dolphine's in the Shark tank, why are there so many attacks when her necklace falls off in the tank she takes the magic from the supernatural making them suspicious the things that are happening are her fault, but if it isn't Delphine then who & why is someone causing these attacks. I definitely recommend to get this interesting, intriguing, story the mystery surrounding Delphine, Tripp, Roman, Levi & Hudson, some kind of magic is causing problems for them all will they figure out what's happening, you'll love Delphine & her mates their so different from one another you can't get enough of them I loved this story so so good you so won't be disappointed.
Delphine thoughts were “no one wants me in Silver Springs,� as she and her sister Phoebe climbed out of the truck they were in town to paint their friends house, and as their other sister was on a month long cruise, Delphine was helping out and as she had bills to pay, she needed the money. Little did Delphine know she was about to become involved in the magic of Silver Springs. Delphine had an usual power she had a magic dampening that would rob the magic from supernaturals, she had to wear a suppression medallion without it her magic would short out everything magical around her, spells, enchantments, shifters, and vampires. For her Birthday Phoebe bought Delphine an unique gift, as she opened the card her sister had given her it said “Congrats! You are now the proud parent of Dolly the dolphin. Come and see your new pet at the newly opened Silver Springs aquarium.� Delphine was now the proud adopted parent of a dolphin. Why are there dolphins in the shark tank? And why there so many attacks, and they seemed to get more frequent? Delphine is brought under suspicion as her necklace falls off into the tank and she robs the magic from the supernaturals. If it is not Delphine? Who is doing these attacks and why? How does Tripp, Roman, Hudson, and Levi figure into Delphine and the magic of Silver Springs? I am not telling you will have to read this whimsical tale and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed.
This is one of the most funniest starts to the story that I've read with Delphine as she helps her sister Phoebe with a painting job while one of their sisters' Ocean is a way. It's never a dull moment in silver springs with the appearance of Peppermint and her mates and one in particular that makes Delphine blush. It's clear Delphine isn't that mush of a decorater and to cheer her up Phoebe buys her an adopt a Dolphine at the aquarium for her birthday and thanks to a certain magic coller Delphine is drawn to four men who happen to be her Mate. Hudson, the turtle shifter who's a bit of a drifter and can't believe his luck to have a mate. With their grumpy cat Cinbad and the cheeky vampire twins Levi and Roman, who don't really like to share and can be a tad naughty. And finally, Tripp, the Magician who doesn't think he deserves a Mate after the things he's done in his past, and it takes a lot for him to open up. But i truly felt sorry for Delphine throughout the story, and I think she definitely found it hard that someone would want a null witch. And things definitely get crazy especially with a creepy man on the seens and more than just a Mate spell to worry about, and it's up to Delphine mates to save the day. This is about second chances and believing you're worth having. And i'm so glad Delfine gets her happy ending.
I love this book! It's a fantasy, reverse harem romance with a fast paced plot, funny moments, and non stop action. There's a lot of suspense, too, as the aquarium is beset by spells, and the main characters have to figure out who is sabotaging their new business. I especially like the mix of magical species.
Delphine is a witch, Hudson is a sea turtle shifter (💚), Roman and Levi are vampires, and Tripp is a magician. It's fun and a little angry as their group butts heads and/or other parts. I'm not sure if this story is a mystery, but it is definitely a fantasy with a romance subplot. Delphine is not a reluctant hero, since she's willing to help others at the drop of a pointy hat. She's a relatable female main character who I hope has a sequel.
I love that Hudson is a sea turtle! I'm over the triple moon for the vampire twins - Levi and Roman - who were born in Ptolemaic Egypt. There's so much more I would like to know about them. Tripp is fascinating, too. I was wondering who he was in Alyssa Beaver's book! I kinda wish the climax was longer just to read more about his type of magic.
There's just something about this cast of characters that has me wanting more. I hope there's going to be a sequel, so we can go swimming with Dolly the Dolphin.
This is book 3 in Silver Springs Pets series - a multi author series that is sure to delight with it's quirky characters and paranormal mishaps. Reverse harem romances that are sweet and steamy. In Delphine this is Mann's addition to this new spin off series as we're back in Silver Springs which is a safe haven of all paranormal and she's doesn't disappoint as we're thrust into the quirks of not only these magical characters but Silver Springs itself. Mystery is a foot and some kinky, steamy, mates make their appearance and intentions known to Delphine. Smooth storyline that will captivate and thrill and heat your reader along with some laughs that keep it all in check! I love the humor and steam balance - for me, that's the winning combo and each book so far has delivered, and I can't wait for more!
This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.
When Delphine is dragged to Silver Springs by her older sister to help paint her friend's house. What she doesn't expect to find is her mates when all she wants to do is go back to her "magic-less" life in Atlanta. But an awesome birthday present from her sister changes everything for Delphine.
I loved this story, Delphine has an interesting life, she can mute magic but wears a pendant to null her own magic so it doesn't affect other supernaturals. Everything is suddenly very chaotic when she goes to the aquarium to meet her adopted dolphin.
I love the connection between Delphine and her mates and even Tripp who is a surly a-hole who thinks she's entirely to blame for what is happening at his aquarium. Also one of her mates is a turtle shifter and I love that, he's a bit of a drifter who doesn't stay in one place for too long.
There's plenty of humour and steam and a great storyline to boot. Can't wait to see what else comes from the Silver Springs Pets world.
‘Of course, we were in Silver Springs . . . I froze as strange orange lines erupted from the blonde woman and raced toward me, and I felt the magic hit like a ton of bricks. I stumbled and barely kept my feet. I narrowed my eyes at the woman and noticed more orange magic linking her to Levi and his brother Roman, my vampire coworkers. A fourth orange line surged toward someone else, who I couldn’t see in the crowded main floor. More strange magic. What crisis would it cause now?�
Delphine by Cali Mann, part of the Silver Springs Pets series, is a fun, sweet, and steamy addition.
Delphine, with her muted magic power, does not believe anyone would want to spend time with her. Working with her sister, they travel to Silver Springs for a job. What Delphine never expects to find are twin vampires, a magician, and a shifter, who feel all the feels for her.
This was a fast burn romantic comedy, though there were some serious moments splashed (pun possibly intended) in there as well. The drama at the aquarium, the not so friendly encounters Delphine has, and the big climax being the big ones. But Delphine also has some down to earth and serious moments with her men as well. Like on the steps with Hudson, the penthouse with Tripp, and the one on one chats she has with Roman and Levi. They each got their own seriousness that Cali Mann managed to flow into the story seamlessly with the comedy and romance, without making it clunky or forced. She also managed to throw in plenty of spice for us to drool over. Tripp is my favorite in that aspect. But Hudson is adorable in his personality. Hope to see more of them all as side characters in other books. Or even more with Delphine as a continuation.
Sweet and Quirky like the other books in this series. My heart went out to Delphine (FMC) in this book. She had magic (Null magic) but from how people have treated her in the past that has tainted her thoughts on what use her magic is. When a birthday present her sister - Phoebe gives her doesn't go the way it was meant too she ends up in the middle of four men - Vampires - Roman & Levi, Sea Turtle shifter - Hudson and magician - Tripp. They all get mixed up in some errant magic that's causing problems for all of them.
Delphine was a great addition to the other SS pet books and I really liked all the main characters. I'm just wondering is Phoebe (Delphine's sister) will get her own book? Fingers crossed she does.
I adore this universe so much. Not only are the characters always interesting, but the storylines never get old or dull! I am always laughing, crying and smiling throughout my entire read of them. The new Silver Springs Pets series is one of my favorite additions to this ever expanding world, and Delphine has to be one of my favorites of all time! Who doesn't love finding out they are gifted a dolphin, and that all the men she meets at the aquarium will change her life forever. There is also some mystery throughout as Delphine is initially worried she is the one causing the problems hitting the aquarium, but after further investigation, they realize this could be something else. I cannot wait to dive into more characters' stories, and I look forward to seeing Delphine and her men again!
Poor Delphine she thinks just because she is a null witch no one will love her but that's before the soul mate magic hits her and four amazing men that work at the local Magical Aquarium. Tripp who is a sorcerer that makes portals for the sea creatures to come and go as they please from the sea and Aquarium then the Vampire Brothers Roman and Levi who love that her magic let's them feel the sun on their skin. And then the Sea Turtle shifter Hudson who didn't know that his kind had mates like other shifters. These men were perfect for her because they accepted her even though it took Tripp a little while to believe she hasn't been causing all the magical mishaps in the Aquarium lately. And the twist with her powers at the end was so amazing.
Delphine is the third book in the Silver Springs Pets collection. This is a standalone and ends in a HEA! We met Delphine in the Moonlight Falls series and various Silver Springs stories.
Delphine and her sister Phoebe, arrives to Silver Springs to help out their friend, Peppermint. It was also around her birthday, so what better present can you get than your very own dolphin! Although she wants to go back home to her human life in Atlanta, she gets more than she bargains for.
How freaking cool is it to get your own dolphin, PLUS four mates? I mean. I think she's one of the luckiest characters in Silver Springs. I absolutely enjoyed this! In normal Silver Springs fashion, there's humor, amazing plot, steamy scenes that will keep you entertained!
Delphine needed the money. That was the only reason she was here in Silver Springs with her sister. They were going to paint their friend’s house while they were away on vacation. But one well timed birthday gift led to some unfortunate magical mishaps. Delphine’s life will never be the same.
This was a fun story within this series. I loved how each of the characters weren’t perfect and had their own flaws that needed to be worked through. There was also an underlying mystery occurring throughout the story as well. This was a fun read and I can’t wait to pick up another book in this series to see who I meet next.
The latest trip to Silver Springs features a witch with strange powers, a magician, two vampires and a sea turtle shifter. It's an odd mix, but they work really well together.
Delphine has come to Silver Springs with her sister to help out a friend, Peppermint, who we met in one of the author's previous trips to the town. I liked her as a FMC, she's straightforward and at peace with what she is.
Her men, as mentioned above, are an odd mix, but I liked them. Tripp, we've seen before, and is a key driver in the plot. The vampire twins are the perfect foil for him, and Hudson is fun in a young Owen Wilson way!
The plot was fun, as they got to know each other, figure out who they could trust and save the day. Can I move to Silver Springs, please!
So sweet and funny. Delphine didn’t want to be in Silver Springs. It is filled with paranormal and she happens to be a null witch. Past experiences have shown her it doesn’t work well. We all know that this town has a way of giving help to what fate wants, especially when it comes to mates. One special collar seems to be going around and helping the fates out. For Delphine that will bring both romance and danger to her. The characters and story are all great. If you need some romance and humor then this book fits perfectly.
“Forced� to Sliver Springs to work for her older sister, Delphine just wants get things over with and get back to her non-magical life in Atlanta. An awesomely spectacular birthday gift in the form of an adopted dolphin leads to unexpected happenings.
Tripp, Levi, Roman, and Hudson are trying to figure out what has been happening around their aquarium when some magic they didn’t expect comes into play.
Mystery, humor, and the quirky adventures one would expect in Silver Springs make for a fun third installment to the season.
Hudson, a shifter that has been orphaned, Trip who was controlled and abused to use his magic for evil, Levi and Roman brothers that are center Old vampires, and the woman that believes that she doesn't deserve love because of the way her magic works. Delphine finds in the end after battling an evil man set on causing chaos and destruction, that she and all her mates are more than worthy of love just as they are. I enjoyed this book all the way through.
Poor Delphine is having such a hard time with her null magic, how will she ever find a mate? All it takes is her adopted pet dolphin to spark the mate bond and set her and her mates on an adventure to save the aquarium! The guys in this story were so much fun to read about, and I loved how they are smitten, even though Tripp tries to deny the bond. I loved how they all banded together to save Delphine, because of course some things have to go wrong and she gets herself kidnapped. Another fun enjoyable read in the Silver Springs Pets series.
Delphine is the 3rd book in the Silver Springs Pets series. I loved reading it as it had some cute situations that happened. The characters interesting and I loved meeting them. Delphine, Tripp, Roman, Levi, and Hudson. Delphine and her sister Phoebe get a call from Peppermint to come paint her house. Phoebe runs a painting and renovation company. When Delphine goes to the aquarium to meet the dolphin that her sister gave her that is when the fun begins. Delphine is a witch with an unusual power. Trip is a strong dark witch that uses his power for good, Roman and Levi are Vampires and Hudson is a Sea Turtle shifter and he has a way with the other sea creatures. So, if you like Mystery, Magic, Intrigue, Sea Creatures and Hot Twin Vampires then you just might like Delphine.
Delphine has given up on finding love and avoids relationships. Afterall, who wants to be with someone whose only power is to nullify the magic of all those around her? After a visit to an aquarium all that may be about to change! The main character Delphine tugged at my heartstrings with the way she felt her power was a curse and had no hope of a lasting relationship with anyone. But that was before she met Tripp, Levi, Roman and Hudson. Great characters, good story, a nice bit of spice and a sprinkle of danger all make this a thoroughly enjoyable read
I loved this book! Delphine was an amazing character who had a bit of a rough go of thing, it must have been hard to live with her affliction. I loved that her mates brought out the best in her and helped her find her way. I especially loved that you brought in a sea turtle shifter, they are my favorite animal ❤️ it was also fun to see the possessiveness and love from the vampire twins and Tripp! Overall the plot was fast paced and fun and I didn't want the story to end ❤️ Yet another winner for this set of books set in Silver Springs!!
Delphine is a great read, just as i expect from the Silver Springs universe. All the authors really do an amazing job of working together to create a world where the stories blend seamlessly and the characters feel like part of the same world. So far, this set has been no different. Delphine and her dolphin bring us to the aquarium this time where we meet vampire brothers, a grumpy formerly evil owner and some other very friendly employees. Do all aquariums have employees this friendly? If so my next visit to one just go moved up! Another great story with laughs and plenty of smexy time!
What happens when you get a ex evil wizard, two sexy as heck vampires who are as different as night and day a laid back sea turtle shifter and a pet dolphin? Trouble with a capital T. Delphine can't believe her sister got her a dolphin for her birthday but shes not complaining when she sees the hotties that work there. Trip, Hudson and brothers Levi and Roman help and answer any questions she may have. When trouble starts happening people start to blame her due to quirky magic but she's she it's not her this time. Can it be Trips past catching up with him?
Delphine thinks that no one wants her around. But, not being able to say no to a friend in need she agrees to help paint Peppermint’s house with her sister. Her sister gets her a surprise for her birthday a dolphin. Things really get interesting when she goes to the aquarium to meet her dolphin. Actually 4 somethings happen, Hudson, Tripp and Levi and Roman. Someone is trying to sabotage the aquarium and Depline is going to do everything he can to figure it out. This was a wild and spicy book and well worth the read.
