Brides for Beasts: Bears - Complete Series
Bestselling authors Candace Ayers and Kym Dillon bring you a series of "lunchtime quickies"—each romance in this series is intended to be read in under 2 hours!
Welcome to Mystic Hollow where wildest dreams (trust me, they do get wild) come true.
Unlikely Mate:
As Alpha of Mystic Hollow's bear shifter clan, duty dictates my every move.
When the Shifter Council responds to our declining population by enacting the BfB (Brides for Beasts) program, the guys are pretty excited to be introduced to human females.
I am too, until I fall head over heels for the program coordinator who makes it very clear she is not one of the bride-wannabes.
Off-Limits Mate:
Like a desperate, chubby Cinderella, I'm hoping to land myself a hubby before the clock strikes midnight.
BfB is my last hope.
So what if the guy turns out to be a cross between Shrek and a granite boulder, sans the charm of either?
He just needs to check three boxes: be kind, love kids, and promise not to harm a hair on my head.
Simple, right?
Protected Mate:
I packed my bags, said adios to city life, and left my troubled past behind for a little town tucked in the bosom of nowhere.
Let's call it the need for a fresh start.
Or desperation. Yeah, we can call it desperation, that works.
Why else would a shy, introverted bookworm like me sign up for an arranged marriage?
Because any man is better than the jerk I left behind, that's why.
What I don't expect is Waylon—all six foot plus of smoldering eyes, sexy swagger, and cocky smile. And did I mention muscles?
Wrong Mate:
I'm a simple bear with a simple wish—a Mrs. of my own.
I’m not picky. Any woman will do.
Or so I think—until I meet her.
Louise is sassy, insulting, sarcastic, condescending, and not interested in marriage.
(Or in me.)
I should move on, right?
Not so easy when I crave her with every fiber of my being.
Temporary Mate:
For the others, the BfB program is a roaring success (pun intended).
The only woman who captured my heart...chose my friend instead!
But when I receive a proposal, the logic is evident.
No love involved.
She'll gain stability and security.
I'll gain a wife and possibly cubs.
It turns out to be the biggest miscalculation of my life.
Because, in a plot twist, my betrothed's sister is my fated mate.

This is a fun concept with human women being recruited unknowingly as brides to bear shifters. They are each short enough to quickly devour and have fun with.
