About the author

Minty Marie can be found mostly at her desk typing on her laptop or staring out the window in thought. She lives in sunny SoCal and while the weather is great, she’s really more of an indoor person. That’s where she writes her spicy books and giggles to herself throughout the entire process.

She also has several cats with varying degrees of color and drama. If you’ve read her books through KU or purchased them, the money she earned probably went towards them in some fashion or other.

This is the fourth and final book in the Shifters in Paradise series, and I am sure going to miss Milly and her fated mates! It was a great conclusion to the series, and I'm sad it's over! I loved that each of her fated mates got their own spotlight in the series. Pick this up if you love a good why choose reverse harem, fated mates, and animal crossing (it's basically a spicy version, haha!).

This is the 4th book in the series. I love this series so much. Excellent storyline, steamy spicy scenes, and a good ending to the series. I'll definitely be looking for more books by this author

I was sad when I finished the book because it's the last one in the series. I got very attached to Milly and her four fated mates. This final installment has Milly finally being able to shift and what a surprise it was when she discovered what her shifter side was.

Archer is her tiger shifting mate and he can help her understand how to shift and what it means. As she is learning what is involved, a previous visitor to the island returns and refuses to leave until she speaks with Millie.

Milly's four fated mates and Millie herself are shocked when they learn what the visitor wants. It's life-changing! Do not read "Accepting Archer' until the first three wonderful books are read. They must be read to fully grasp this interesting story.

This is the final installment of this series. I liked the sexy group scene and think there could have been more of these.

I gave this book three stars because I felt like the pacing was a bit slow and I kept forgetting which mate was which when I was reading. I also didn't think that Milly and Archer's connection was very strong. It kind of seemed like he was the last because he was only kind of interested in her.

I wanted more interactions with her shifter mates and I feel like there was more time spent with the old lady who came to the island to see Milly.

Overall, I liked the first two novellas more than the last two, but I am glad I finished the series.

3.5 Stars

The conclusion of this series.

Heavy on the spice, and moderate on plot; all of the books were fun. This was as super light hearted series that honestly I think I would have read as a full novel is the plot had been made the priority. Personally, by book 4 I found the spice a little repetitive, but I'm squarely in the story > spice camp.

This book touched on the relationship between two of the MMC's; however, it was just glossed over. It felt unnecessary; like it was something the FMC found hot, which it pretty surface level considering these dude have had a years long situationship going on.

The last part of the Shifters in Paradise quartet. Milly and her four mates have to deal with the last drama around Milly's presence in Corona Cay.

A dramatic and surprising conclusion with great new spice! Over all four books I loved the concepts and there were plenty of twists and turns and integrated plotlines but I will say I didn't love the format being in novellas. That doesn't really change the content but it did break it up in odd places. Would definitely read another series, I would love to see how things go once they are settled or with neighbors on the island.

An great ending to the series!

I loved learning about Milly and her fated mates. Minty Marie had a great concept for this series with plot twists and spice. This is not a stand alone series, you must read the first three books to understand the story.

Personally, I prefer a chunky novel over short novellas, but this series was a good, fast paced, and ends with a light hearted story of Milly finding her final mate. It ties up the loose ends that tied the series together in the last three books, with plenty of steam.

I find it entertaining that Archer was literally the first one she met, but his book is last! Why did it take so long for them to have some time alone?! I feel like these books are too short to really spend a lot of time on descriptions for the characters, so I take the little bit of information given (like Archers tattoos), and make the rest up on my own. I imagine that he would look like a rugged wolf shifter, though I am very aware that he's actually a tiger. Regardless, in my head, he looks crazy sexy, which is incredibly fitting for this series. I love how creative he was in helping teach Milly how to shift back into her human form, too! ;)

The perfect conclusion to the amazing Shifters in Paradise!!!
"So like Big Foot?" This line will always stay with me. 🤣🤣
It was so great to finally have solo time with Archer! I love the role he played in helping Milly with her current situation (no spoilers). He's such a solid guy and I love that he cooks for her! <333
The spicy scenes in this book are next level and fitting for the epic conclusion of this series! 🥵
The story wrapped up nicely and left me feeling so happy!
This series was super fun and I look forward to reading more by Minty Marie!!

Molly & her mates: Book 4 of Shifters in Paradise novella series: This is the final book to this series & you should read in order. Short novella/ why choose fated mates/ spicy/ paranormal shifter romance: This book has a focus on Milly with Archer, her tiger shifting mate. I enjoyed this series, and I liked how each mate got their own book.

Each book in this series gets better with each book focusing on one of Milly’s mates. She has to figure out how to manage life with her new shifting ability that manifested & her mates Archer in particular helps her along the way. This story was cute, quirky, funny, some drama but it was all worth it to see the conclusion of Milly’s story. Minty Marie Is a talented author & her fans are never disappointed. If you haven’t started this series I recommend it.

[Kat M · Rating 5 out of 5]

This uses the shifter romance element that I was hoping for from this series. I was invested in what was going on with the characters and enjoyed the overall feel of the plot. The characters worked well overall and felt like they belonged in the Shifters in Paradise world. I enjoyed how Minty Marie wrote this and the other books in this series.

Cute ending

Ahh, this last installment is super cute. We get to see more of my boy Archer and his moments with Milly were adorable. I am a little sad to see this group come to an end, but at least it was a cute ending with a possibility for more to come.

As usual the spice level is 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ because of a special scene in the book. Hubba hubba~ ;)

[Nora · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am always sad to see endings but this is one really nice ending! Milly and her fated mates have become friends of mine. So yeah I'll miss them for sure. I like that each mate has his own book and now we all see into Archers mind. This is an author to watch!

[Ann Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great conclusion to the series. Milly and Archer's story has Archer helping Molly to shift and secrets revealed. There a load of spice in this one. A really fun and entertaining series.

I love that each of Milly's guys gets their own book with her and we get to see their relationship blossom. I can't just pick one to be my fave. Archer in this one definitely made me like him even more. Absolutely hot and sweet with his willingness to help out Milly as shes growing into her new abilities.

I’m rating a 4.5 but rounding up to 5 stars.

This was the final book of the series and I was so happy to finally get to Archer because I’ve been dying to learn more about him.

Overall this was a great ending to the series. But I wish more had been uncovered about her family. I was expecting a big shock, and while we did get a bit of one, I was hoping for more.

The spice was good, but there was one place where I thought it was going to lead into some pet play and was kinda disappointed on how tame it stayed.

We get to find out the final mystery behind the whole of be a sphinx shifter, and why the sphinx needs to kept a secret. You get to see mates come together to find the love that they deserve.

Great ending to a fun series

[Christina Bowling · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was fun, and a good follow up to the previous books in the series.

[Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am glad this was the final book. It was still interesting, but there were so many errors that I couldn't take it seriously. It almost seemed like the author was rushing through to finish. The characters only ever eat or want to take a shower, then randomly jump into spicy scenes.

Overall, it's a decent series.

[Iluvbks · Rating 4 out of 5]

This being the 4th book in the series you will need to read the pervious 3 in order to understand the whole story. Millie has had a had childhood then with the click of a pen she changes her adulthood. In book one you met her and the 4 males who become her mates. Each of the books focus on one of those males. Book 4 is Archer. He is unique just like the the other 3. I liked how he tells a little of his story and he loves to cook. Each male is so different from the others and they re all in every book. This book wraps up some questions and leave the future open to see what happens. Not much shifting in this book but it is the focus of the book. With what type of shifter Mille is and what will happen now that she knows what she is really is.
