Genie and Zeb
Zeb is such a sweet man. Genie well she was a lady of the night that got arrested. Meeting Zeb was her way out of a prison sentence. I was happy she was able to find someone to love her for who she is.

"The words tickle a tiny, nearly extinct part of me that still holds a sliver of that four-letter word: hope."
Genie has led the opposite of a charmed life, and another day that looks to be headed down that same frustrating path takes an unexpected turn that could be the fresh start she never dared dream of.
Zeb has a good life. It's not that he has complaints, but he understands a mate, a family and pups, would offer him a fuller and possibly happier life -- and who doesn't occasionally, if wistfully, dream of having it all?
This done in one Kindle unlimited quick read is a great story about accepting others as they are, and taking the time to actually get to know who you truly are, under the masks you wear around and for other people.

Genie is picked up for prostitution again and given the ultimatum of jail time and fine or becoming part of the Brides For Beasts program. She selects the program and attends the mating ritual where wolf shifter Zeb challenges his alpha for her and wins. He knows they are fated mates but she has been traumatized all her life and does not understand a caring, loving partnership. He is all in to teach her what true love means. The characters are terrific, with chemistry, entertaining situations and steamy moments. The storyline has a good pace with secrets, twists, new worlds opening up and a great new home and family. Terrific ending.

Finally home - Genie is thrilled to get out of a jail sentence but not overly excited to be a mom. Oh well. The good-lucking hunk who falls over himself to please her makes things interesting. Except he doesn't act like other men she's known biblically. He actually cares about her.
Zeb is over the moon to have found his mate. So excited his wolf challenged his alpha, a foolhardy move if there ever was one. But she is his, and he will do anything to make her happy. Even get her treatment for her multiple personality disorder.
A good short listen with a "Pretty Woman" meets "Wolfman" feel.

Genie, a sex worker and product of the foster care system, gets a second chance or sixth chance to get out of jail free. Uneducated and unloved, Genie has built emotional walls to protect herself. She thinks the Breeding program for shifters is just a temporary gig, but not to her fated mate, Zeb. Zeb knows immediately that Genie is his fated mate, but doesn’t tell her. Read this adorable paranormal romance to find out why. It is brief, but very enjoyable. I have received an ARC from Booksprout and I am leaving an unbiased review voluntarily.

Genie is in trouble and is given the choice of jail time or to participate in Brides for Beasts program. For Genie it feels like a no brainer. Zeb does not like the BfB program, he wants a mate no someone who leave. When he sees Genie at the fertility ceremony, he recognizes that she is his mate.
Winning the challenge for Genie was the easy part, convincing her to trust him is another matter. Will she fall for Zeb or hit the road?.

I am not sure how I feel about the whole breeders for beasts and not brides.
Genie is a prostitute and is offered the bfb program instead of jail. She agrees and is supposed to be bred by the Alpha. During the ceremony Zeb challenges and she is his mate now.
They get to know each other and everything is fine until she realises he hasn't marked her so she must not be his mate. She takes off and he runs after her but his friend convinces her that she is Zebs mate and she goes back
Everything works out in the end
It was ok. I don't like the wolfs as much as the bears though

I didn't know about this series until I got the preview invite. I stopped reading and quickly went and found all the bears and wolves to "catch up and not miss a thing". It was worth it. Humor, romance, quick short reads that really bring you into their world.

This shifter story us sweet. It is cute and fun and a little flirty. There is misunderstanding and some non-communication. Genie has so much baggage. Zeb is strong and sure and determined. I love their sweet little story.

Amazing series!!
Zeb is excited by the new program that the Council has started. Human females are coming to his pack to get pregnant among bear pups to increase the female population.
The Alpha of the pack gets the first female, of course. Except....things didn't quite work out that way. Want to know more?? You'll have to read the book!!! 😁

This is another great story for the series and I love how Zeb was willing to woo his mate, Genie, into trusting him and healing her enough to open her heart up to love. His caring nature was fab and I enjoyed seeing how their romance unfolded :D

A well-written book two of three. What a plot! To get out of jail Genie had to marry and have a pup. A must-read human/shifter plot. Can't wait for the next book.

Zeb and Genie
A fast paced endearing, charming and addictive romance that packs a big punch. Genie’s life was not so great but entering into the Bfb program she got a lot more than she expected. Zeb is the perfect man to show her what love really is. I enjoyed this little treat.

Cute story
Was nice to see someone being given a chance to make their life better. May not have been the exact way they planned but I liked how it turned out. She deserved having a good life. The ending was pretty great!

I was completely entertained from start to finish. This is a great read if you want to wind down after a hard day or you just want to lose yourself into fated mates and wolves.
Love this whole series. Same review for all the books in this series.

I was laughing so hard at Zeb. He didn't have a clue what Genie was trying to do when they were alone. He knew nothing of all the acts she was role playing, it was hilarious. I'm glad Genie got her happily ever after and a man/ wolf that loves her.

Brides for beasts worked out wonderfully for this wolf shifter. She was everything a true mate needed. He was smitten from the first time he set eyes on her. A satisfying read.
