includes:
Hawke's Nest by Dahlia Rose
Hawke lived a solitary life. Humans were bothersome, petty, and he hated how they treated each other. He took amazing wildlife photos for magazines and sold them through his agent. Very rarely seen in public, he was known as an eccentric man who liked to live alone. That's how he liked it because from his amazing home in the trees, he could take flight and soar in the skies.
Until Tiana Swan wandered into the path of danger and he had to save her. With smugglers on the path of the woman who witnessed their crimes, Hawke had no other choice but to bring her to his sanctuary to keep her safe. In the peaks of the trees where you could almost touch the clouds,
Tiana caused a stirring in his soul. He pushed the feeling of loneliness aside for too long, and as much he hated the fact, it all came flooding in. He fought the urges to claim her, but the first kiss seared him to his core. The second he touched her, Hawke knew he'd found his mate. Would the city girl who liked lattes and the bustle of New York give it all up to stay in Hawke's Nest?
Thunderbird by Kassanna
He did what he had to do.
Jace Long Feather could admit he was a little bit crazy. As a Thunderbird, a shifter tasked with protecting his people, the Supai Indian Nation, he had no problem with death and dismemberment. To maintain their reservation was paramount. Then she shoved him in the back of a Jeep.
A chance encounter.
Leticia Washington knew she was going to jail. While trespassing on the Supai Reservation, she came across a federally protected bird species. A badly hurt California Condor. In her haste, she stuck him in the back of her SUV and prayed she didn't get caught. Then she discovered the bird wasn't an animal at all.
Belle and Jaeger by Tressie Lockwood
Sam Belle knew what he was, a snowy owl shifter. He rejected that side of himself along with his people because of their violence and their arrogance. As far as he was concerned, he lived as a human and only gave in to the call to shift once a year. The one problem Sam had with his choices was that there was no one to share his physical needs, no woman who could handle him sexually.
Then Tondi Jaeger walked into Sam's coffee shop, and everything changed. Tondi was like him, a shifter, but she was also running from something. A sophisticated city woman shouldn't have a reason to hide out in a small town, but Sam didn't care what brought her. All he knew was that Tondi was his mate, and he would do what he had to, to protect her--and to keep her forever.

Three writers three very different stories of bird shifters finding love. The first story "Hawk's Nest" by Dahlia Rose was something of a disappointment. The dialog between the H/H was a bit juvenile and the characters read rather flat. This is my least liked story in the book and by Ms. Rose overall. Putting editing issues aside I usually enjoy her stories. "Thunderbird" by Kassanna was funny, Jace and Leticia, not to forget her twin Leo are hilarious. It starts off so well and then after the initial meeting of the H and H it sort of lost me. There was so much going on so many characters which is fine, but, not when we loose site of the H and H. These reads like the intro book to a series, because your left with so many questions, things that are brought up but never fully explained. The last book is "Belle and Jaeger by Tressie Lockwood. Of the three stories I liked this one the best. The characters were fully formed and three dimensional and the story was simple. The conflict in this story doesn't come from the H and H but from outside the relationship, so it bonds the two. Tondi is a fun character to read because she's feisty without coming off as jerk. Sam is a good guy, I'm not going to say much about him because this is the second book in a three part series and I think a lot more of his character was revealed in the first book. I didn't care for his sister who seemed a bit over the top but again she may have reasons for her behavior that are revealed more in the first book.
Overall all three stories are a nice way to pass the time.

In the first story the dialogue made the story childish and unreal. The descriptions didn't get me into the story. The events seemed stuffed together to give the characters opportunities to have sex--without protection. It was one big eye roll. gah! Some formatting problems.
Second book. Survival of his scarcity? I must not be smart enough to understand. Wrong words used other places and formatting issues. He expects her to just go along with his mate claim when he doesn't explain anything. Then she does! Didn't understand how they had a relationship besides sex.
Third story was the best. Still glad that I didn't have to buy this book.
oral, spanking, rough sex, mates for life

This collection are interracial paranormal bird shifter romance. Its black woman white male. That's the first story. The second is a black woman native American male. The third a black woman white male.
I can't take it anymore. I tried to find something I liked about the three stories but I didn't. The stories all had potential though. But still I found myself thinking, why am I reading this?

I really enjoyed reading this book. Three short stories by three of my favourite authors. Once again these ladies did not fail to deliver. I highly recommend this book especially if you like a lot of spice and passion in your reads. Looking forward to reading much more of their work.
