Rate this book
Ginger thought she was powerless. Born a witch without magic, she was cast aside by her coven and trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage. But the night she finally decided she had enough, something deep inside her awakened. With it, she unleashed a power unlike anything she had ever known.

Now on the run, Ginger finds herself in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, where fate leads her straight into the arms of three formidable grizzly shifters. Rhai, Shai, and Thai are powerful, protective, and undeniably hers. They claim her as their mate, but the bond between them is more than just instinct. It is magic.

As Ginger struggles to accept her new reality, danger closes in. Her ex’s vengeful mother is hunting her, and a rogue coven is rising to power, threatening to destroy everything in its path. With sinister alliances forming and war on the horizon, she must unlock the full strength of her magic before it is too late.

The battle has begun. Power is shifting. And at the center of it all stands a woman who was never meant to be powerless.

🔥 A spicy, why-choose curvy girl paranormal romance filled with fated mates, magic, and supernatural battles. 🔥

Triple the Bears, Double the Trouble, One Magical Mess 😭🔥

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)

A wild, magical ride from start to finish. Everything stood out—the chaos, the chemistry, and the world-building. The spice hit a comfy medium 🌶️🌶️ and kept me entertained the whole way through. Definitely an author I’ll be watching for future reads.

3.5 rounded up

This was a good read and kept my attention. I just probably won’t think about these characters again

They say “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover” but I swear every book with this kind of cover reads the same. It’s almost like a rushed short story with many details missing. I DNF this book, it reads like a second part to another book. The synopsis reads as if we were going to go on the journey with the MFC on getting her magic, but the book started with her already having her magic 😑. I’m confused, the narrator or the character told us she got her magic and that it was dormant for far longer than it was supposed to be. This took away from the story. Idk anything about her pretty much or her life before everything that happened to her. I can prolly predict (I may be wrong) but I bet I’m right that there is going to be some unnecessary s£x in here because she’s mated to triplets (that has got to be weird asf) to share one woman with 3 men not just any 3 men but triplets. That took me right out the weird plotted book. It reads like a fairytale, evil mother in law wants to siphon magic from the gorgeous daughter in law. 🙄🙄 It was rushed, and the plot was stale, mated to a set of brothers 🤦🏿‍♀️,so no I couldn’t get into the story.

Beautifully Done Throuple

Ginger is running for her life from the very first pages, and she doesn’t stop running until she runs into her bears. Rai, Shai, & Thai are all Ginger needs even though she won’t admit it just yet. This slow burn why choose is told really well, and I can’t wait to get into the next installment. The way the alpha’s worshipped her was my absolute favorite part of this book.

New author

September Knight is a new author for me. I found the book to be interesting, if not great. The storyline was good, the characters interesting, however, the writing left a little to be desired. There was more telling than showing.

The author could’ve made this a longer book, but instead decided to give a lot of background via exposition by the main character. There were a lot of moments of exposition that would’ve been better had they actually been written as scenes of things happening.

There is a second book in the series. I’m not sure if I will read it as I don’t know that, I really care that much for these characters.

Phenomenal Read!!!!

I absolutely looovveedd this book. This is my first book by this author and September Knight you absolutely NAILED IT!!! I loved the way you detailed Ginger and her Grizzlies relationship dynamic. Even Lilith and Esse crazy relationship. Loved the way you incorporated The Mother, the Ancestors, and the elders and their dialect(explaining the reasoning they spoke the way they did which was by choice as their way of staying connected), even Marco relationship showing the different ways you find love despite the situation of circumstances. The repercussions of doing evil to others with no remorse. But most of ll the love, loyalty and admiration the brothers had for their mate. Extraordinary!!! I wish there could be a series to this one.. I look forward to reading more paranormal romances from you.

Rising above abuse

Ginger had to endure many abuses, physical and emotional, by the hands of those who should have loved and protected her. Her opportunity for freedom came, and she took it. Running right into her 3 mates.

I found the storyline interesting, though some things that happened seemed convenient to make the explanation easier. The pacing was good. I did the multiple pov were helpful in some instances, but repetitive in others. This seemed to bog down the story's progress at times. I was not expecting all the hanky panky. There was mmmf, mf and ff. I skimmed these just to get on with the story. I also came across places that needed editing, but the issues were few. Overall this story was not bad. I liked the action, but wished the repetitiveness was removed. 2.5-3 stars

Ginger

This is my first time reading this author and won’t be the last
She is an amazing storyteller and her writing brings you right into the story
The characters and world she created are relatable and you can feel the words come alive
This first book in this series was a page turner with twist and turns you didn’t expect
Ginger finds her mates, yes three of them, powerful Grizzlies with power
Ginger a witch finally gets her power, but it is not what she expected
There are a lot of exciting moments in this story and I don’t want to give any spoilers
But if you like books that have the MFC and MMC saving the world from evil and loving each other, do not hesitate and get your copy today!
Great job September!

September Knight is a fresh writer on the afro-american paranormal block, and yes, she delivers!

This book dropped Feb 2025! I have to make a note somewhere for next year's Gem 💎 Awards because, like Montell Jordan said, "This is how we do it"!!

What could go wrong when 3 Alpha Bears and one Fiesty Witch cross paths? Let the magic happen!

There was something here for everyone! Auntie needed a glass of red 🍷 and an imaginary smoke 🚬 when this was all said and done.

📚Genre: paranormal, fantasy
🔥Spice Level: 3/5
⚠️Possible Triggers: DV, abuse
😢Tears 1/5

I said what I said and as always: don't take my word for it. Read the book, form your own opinions, and support your authors! 🫶🏿📖👏🏾

This was my first time reading anything by this author, and she absolutely did her big one with this book! I couldn’t put it down. We follow Ginger as she escapes an abusive relationship (and her absolutely awful mother-in-law) and goes on the run. While in hiding—and discovering more about her own powers—she meets her sexy grizzly shifter mates. 😍

The pacing was perfect, the plot kept me hooked, and the characters were all so well done. I also loved that we got the villain’s POV—it added so much tension and depth. And the spice? 5/5! 🔥🔥🔥

I’ll definitely be reading more from this author!

Buckle up because this is a great read

Chile I was not ready for all this goodness. OMG my head was on a swivel reading this. This has officially made me obsessed with paranormal. From the front cover to the last page I’m in awe of what happened in this book. I hope there are others to follow because I need to read them immediately. This was a new author for me by way of Amazon recommendations and they definitely did a great job suggesting I read this. I can’t wait to read the entire catalog.

1st read

This was my first read from this author but I must say I am moving on to the next story because I need a little bit more…omggggg i love a shifter romance but more than that I love a why choose but more than that I love a HAE and thennnn the teamwork omgggg I loved this book frfr the only reason it doesn’t get a five is because this book could have honestly been a standalone with more chapters like so much could’ve happened after this but I guess that’s why it’s a series instead 😂 🤷🏽‍♀️

Amazing Start

Across every human experience, drama unfolds relentlessly, transcending time and geography. The narrative captivates from its first page to its final chapter, chronicling Ginger's remarkable journey of resilience. Despite a harrowing origin marked by trauma, she refuses to be defined by others' expectations, instead drawing profound strength from her unwavering sense of self. Her determination to rise above circumstances and pursue a better path is truly inspiring. An exceptional and compelling story that resonates deeply. ReneeG

beautiful black paranormal romance novel

No Spoilers! I’ve recently found my absolute love for urban paranormal romance novels! And September Knight did not disappoint. She’s weaved this story with amazing history, folklore, and love that makes it for incredible reading. She also gave an alternative to what relationship dynamics look like without it seeming vile or insatiable. Shes found a fan in me!

Ginger had been through a lot from betrayal from her mother to and crazy abuse from her husband! But once she found the will to leave, she ended up crossing paths with her handsome mates Rhai, Thai, and Shai, who are overprotective and loving towards her instantly. I enjoyed the fighting, her going back her roots to fighting the enemy for doing evil magic. Loved the ending glad everyone got their happy ending!

Late Magic

Ginger had endured abuse at the hands of her first marriage, an arranged one. When she couldn't take it anymore, her magic came forward and saved her, she killed him and ran. Coming to the US, she found something she wasn't looking for, not just one mate but three. Rhai, Shai, and Thai were ready to find their mate. Through several trials and tribulations they made it.

Loved It

This book gave a really good story for fated mates. I loved how Ginger was standing her ground and how the Bros wouldn’t back down. She gave them a run for their money and did not stand for any disrespect. All and all this was a good read and I would read another book by the author.​

I REALLY enjoyed this!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
I’m really enjoyed this story and I’m amazed because lately short paranormals stories haven’t been hitting for me. A lot of authors have been lacking depth and often rush through the story. However with this story it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!

I would definitely recommend and I’m eager to read more from this author! 💖

Loved everything about this why choose paranormal romance. Ginger and her resilience along with her determination to over exceed what others thought she couldn’t achieve. The mother chose wisely as despite all the turmoil, abuse and belittling she experienced she remained a genuine being. And her mates!!!!! Yes please.

Eh... nothing exciting, but not bad. Besides the typos and missing words. Those were bad and there were so many.

PSA to all self-publishing authors: Please proofread your work. Or have someone else proofread. I love to support the idea of not having to go through a company but please... for the love of all that's holy... PROOFREAD!

What an adventure!

Love the cover and the fabulous descriptions of this queen. Her mates loved her body and the passion in these pages was 🔥 🔥 🔥 and not just between the queen and her alpha. The action scenes were exciting and drama was around just about every corner. There were surprises throughout. I don't usually read books this length but was pleasantly surprised.

Awesome Escape

This story really pulls you in. You easy begin to root for the main character. I was entertained from beginning to end. It’s the kinds of story that is both thrilling in the sense that you really get into the fight scenes and it’s heart warming watching the main character learn to trust again. It’s worth the read. Hope this series gets the hype it deserves.

Loved!

This book had me locked in from the first page! I absolutely loved it. Finished it in one day! Ginger was fierce her mates were loving. The magic was explained well in addition to why she was able to use her magic!. This was my first book by September Knight and I am now on book two and loving that one as well! She is a talented writer and giving some much needed diversity in the paranormal space! Thoroughly enjoying this universe she is building!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!

I’m an avid reader of shifter stories from various artists. I found this book when I wasn’t even looking and read the protecter books in 2 days including Ginger’s Christmas story. I was hooked! I see myself in characters and get lost in their worlds. I love these stories and can’t wait see if Duece and Zola are mates cause that would be amazing!!

potential

This book while good lacked a few things the biggest one was it felt rushed I would have liked their love journey to be a little more at one second she is guarded because of her past then bam she fully accepts in my opinion it made the story suffer

Fated mates
Grizzly shifters
A powerful witch

This story had potential but it moved kind of slow to me . I have no issues with slow burns but the story just didnt keep my attention for some reason. It was a few errors throughout the book as well.
