Bear’s Perfect Match: Nightfair Shifters Series, a BWWM Romance by Julye Evans

A Great New Bear Shifter Series.

Someone is taking out lone shifters so ‘shifter detective’ Ginny [bear shifter]        partners up with an aggressive lone honey bear badger, Eli.  Now this is the first in the Nightfair Shifter Series and it is off to a great start here. Written by Julye Evans who is a new author to me.  Eli is one glorious hero to have in a book.  Typical alpha male and oh my goodness.  Swoon factor wherever he goes.  Ginny is certainly feisty but she isn’t my favourite heroine that I’ve read before.  Eli’s character more than makes up for her.  Most of the secondary characters are obviously going to have their own stories and I look forward to reading them. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Definitely recommended

Untamed Daddy (Mountain Men of Bear Valley #3) by Frankie Love, Chantel Seabrook

  Can These Three Form A Family?

Wes and Kate feature in this third book in the Mountain Men of Bear Valley  by Frankie Love and Chantel Seabrook with his adorable daughter Finlay bringing them together.  He had her but not with his fated Mate and this lead to untold both with the Grizzly Clan nearby. But Finlay’s mum died and they want her.  Finlay is quite a character and in nee of a mother figure in her life.  She latches onto Kate who is a tv chef and new to the Valley. Wes is immediately attracted to her but she’s not staying and he knows that if he kisses her that he will be lost as he knows she is his Mate.  What happens when they do get together and she discovers the truth about him? Then what will happen when she gets a fantastic offer?  Wes, Kate and Finlay are wonderful characters that are so easy to love and it is so well written that you will be trapped between the pages not wanting it to finish but, at the same time, needing to know what happens.  These two authors on their own are great but together they are terrific!  I look forward to book 4 with anticipation. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.  Most Definitely Recommended!

Untamed Virgins (Mountain Men of Bear Valley Book 1) by Chantel Seabrook and Frankie Love

  A Wonderful Paranormal New Series!!

“Bear Valley: Where rugged men find more than a safe haven — they find their mates.”  This is the first book that I’ve read by Chantel Seabrook but it won’t be the last as I really enjoyed this first episode in the  Mountain Men of Bear Valley  and I simply now got to read the rest by her and the best selling author Frankie Love.  This is a paranormal series about men who are bear shifters [my personal favourites as I just love anything to do with bears].  In this we are introduced to the oldest of the bear shifting brothers, Gunner and Adelaide Spencer.  Adelaide has just moved to the Valley with her friends to open  a bookstore that had been in the family and not expecting to find her one true love. But as soon as Gunner sees her , he knows that she is his Mate and once they kiss that is decided and he can have no one else.  So beautifully written with warmth, humour, realism and such amazing characters that I found them so easy to love and enjoy their story.  How will Adelaide react when she finds out Gunner’s family secret?  bearing in mind that she didn’t even know that shifters existed in the first place?  The attraction between them is so powerful that they are like two magnets drawn to each other and no one can, hopefully, pull them apart.  To find out what happens you need to get a copy and discover for yourself.  I certainly am looking forward to the next books in the series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Definitely recommended – a great start to the series.

Her Enchanted Alpha Match (Matchmaker Book 4) by Emilia Hartley

  Finding Her Own Fated Mate

Nessa is a terrific matchmaker for shifters.  But not so great for herself.  She is a cat shifter and is very content in many ways.  Caz is all alpha male and a bear shifter at that so he must be brutal – mustn’t he?  But when she has tyrouble with her car and goes to his garage for help she finds out that he isn’t at all like she thought. In fact, he is rather nice!  She’d like to go out with him. But there’s a problem in the form of a wicked witch who wants him for herself and she will be mad if Nessa doesn’t get him to go out with her instead!.  Beautifully written by Emilia Hartley who is a fabulous paranormal author whose books I ‘discovered’ a couple of years ago and I’ve been reading them ever since as they are just so well written with great storylines and fascinating characters.  I loved ‘meeting’ Nessa and Caz and they were just so good together. The air seemed to practically sizzle whenever they were together.  I love bear shifter stories, in particular, and I think this is the best one yet so I really do encourage you to read this for yourself.  I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving a review.  SO good that I bought my own copy so that I could re-read it again and support the author

Most definitely recommended!  I’m now looking forward to Emilia’s next book.

Can they really ignore their feelings for each other?? And then there is the surprise! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

It is a real page turner with wonderful, 3-dimensional characters that I loved. Most DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

 

Her Alpha Mismatch (Matchmaker Book 3) by Emilia Hartley

  The Alpha Needs Her Help

Regina is a fox shifter and loves the 1950’s styles except being for being a ‘perfect 1950’s wife’!  She doesn’t want a fox shifter as a mate and husband –  definitely not for her. So when the matchmaker suggests she have a date with an alpha male bear shifter she is very surprised to say the least!  But Oscar is gorgeous and there is just something about him…  When he asks her for help she can’t stop herself from saying YES.  Emilia Hartley knows exactly how to draw me into her stories [and since she is a top US best selling author, it’s obviously not just me who loves her stories].  Her storylines are unique and the way she she builds her characters right in front of you so that you feel as if you almost know them.  Oscar and Regina are just so good together with plenty of passion and fun!  As Oscar was my favourite type of paranormal creature, a bear shifter, I was naturally looking forward to reading the book but it was so much more than just him and a thoroughly good story!  I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Bearly Friends by Selina Coffey

  A First Class Paranormal Read

I have read many of Selina Coffey’s stories over the last few years but these are my absolute favourites.  Reasons why they are?  Well they are about the paranormal and, in particular, bear shifters that I love to read about. These  stories are so well written with fabulous characters that you will remember long after reading the stories – for example, Hale and Tessa in Book 1  TESSA – A circle of friends is a thing to cherish.  In  Book 2 – CORA she meets the delectable Rhys and Knox [oh my!] and Book 2 – KAIA she meets Zed [all alpha male and ready to love and protect her].  With great storylines and plenty of heat and steam that will have you reaching for your fans/ac to set to max cool.  I had read each of these individually before but just had to re-read them as they are so good. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.  Definitely recommended – a wonderful collection!
