This was a really good short story, about a bear shifter who is almost 30. Once a bear shifter turns 30, and are unmated they can no longer have children. So he wants to find a mate soon. He attends a mixer (where shifters find human woman for possible mate's). He meets Gia a very delectable woman. They have a lot of chemistry, however they have a lot to get through to even consider being possible mate's. The book was good, and I would recommend it for anyone over 18 due to sexual content.

So much potential
This book had SO much potential to be longer. I felt the author could've expanded a bit more on the subject of Mack and his operation, the other shifters and even the brothers. It was unusual to read that these shifters could only shift while moving.
There were a few minor errors, nothing drastic though. I'd loved to see a revised version that's longer. The author did give it away too soon that Mack was less than what he seemed but I liked Trey's vulnerable side and the fact that he's caring and protective.
Good short little read though. Best short read I've read so far that hasn't been filled with sex in every chapter. The mystery is what made this book likable. Good plot in my opinion.

Curvy microbiologist, Gia Santos has a thing for shifters so she lets her friend Hope talk her into going to a shifter mixer. Maybe she’ll find a guy to date and her life will be a bit more exciting than it currently is. Trey Cross, ranch owner and bear shifter, had no intention of going to the shifter mixer until one of his clan tells him he was robbed by one of the women there. Now he needs to go and find this woman himself because no one messes with his clan. When Gia matches the woman’s description, Trey invites her to the ranch. He’s determined to catch her with her hand in the cookie jar, but he and his bear are falling fast for her. When primal instinct kicks in what’s a bear to do?
Mistaken identity alert! Trey’s not very bright. Instead of checking out all the women at the mixer he hones in on Gia and automatically assumes she’s the thief. You know, because there isn’t anyone else at the mixer who fits the description. Even though he spots a woman flirting with some guys, mistaking her for Gia and only realizing it’s not her when he notices the woman is wearing a different color dress. But she couldn’t possibly be the thief. Because then where does the plot go? *rolls eyes* That part irritated the fuck out of me. Come on! Anyway, the rest of the story isn’t bad and I do have a thing for bear shifters. It could have been a bit longer though. I’m talking about the story here, pervs. Also, the weirdo Mack is a bit much, but overall I enjoyed this read.

I love shifter romances, but not huge on liars and relationships that start with lies that could've been exposed multiple times, which is what I found here. It was a decent romance but the lead guy kind of came off as a little, not necessarily dumb but maybe oblivious in my opinion.

Did you know? Shifting into bears is an elevated form of the magical girl transformation. Instead of a cool hand movement, the shifter just needs to unbutton their jeans...
Listened to the audiobook and amused my best friend with vague spoilers. Mission accomplished.

Trey and Gia meet at a "Meet and Greet " shifter bar. Trey thinks Gia is really a thief. This is a cool story and I think readers will enjoy it. You will be surprised along the pages.

Very Good!
Very good & fast paced action.
Bear meets girl not sure if girl is right for him or not & some good vs bad plot. Also some sex scenes.

Trey needs to claim a mate and soon--or never. Sexy were bear, he has a history with women and it isn't a good one. Curvy, gorgeous, Gia has all but given up on men, she too has an unsuccessful history with love.
When both are persuaded--conned--into going to a shifter mixer with the goal of finding a mate, they are immediately drawn to each other. Unfortunately, Trey can't just focus on the woman, and it isn't his previous experiences that interfere. There is more.
Even with his doubts when Trey sees that every other shifter in the room is equally interested, he makes his move. Can she possibly be what she seems? He has to know and keep her from the others until he can be as sure as his bear. He issues invitation to his ranch to get to know her and show her to someone who can verify her innocence—or guilt!
While they move closer, Trey still can't completely trust her, and he needs that before he shows her what has cost his past relationships. She wants him and to progress, but his on again off again attitude makes her wonder if this is any different than her past relationships. His attitude is not all that she has to deal with on this trip. What started as annoying has become terror. She can't trust Trey for help until she can trust him fully.
This love story is one that touches the heart. He is so strong yet needs compassion from his mate but can't admit it. She has all but given up on finding a worthy man and her feelings for Trey are of a strong woman who is willing to forgive being misjudged and try again. They hold back their sexual attraction and don't immediately fall into sex, but when they do it is more than just physical.
I read in one sitting thoroughly enjoying their story. This is not only a good read but a satisfying one as well. Don't miss out.

Nice plot with likable characters
Setting: Colorado
Genre: contemporary shifter romance
Gia meets Trey at a mixer for shifters and human women who are interested. Gia has had a disappointing history with human guys, so she decides she'll try a were bear. Trey owns a ranch with his two brothers. He must find a mate within the next two months. Gia and Trey meet at a mixer and insta-lust ensues. There are some issues that aren't, surprisingly, dealt with by means of communication problems or stupidity.
The plot, while not gripping enough to read straight through start to finish, was engaging. The characters are truly nice people, rather than just caricatures to slot into the roles. Oh, and I do appreciate that Ms Amor reiterated descriptions often enough that I didn't forget what the people looked like, without making me want to scream "I get it already!"
This was a good book, being able to engage your imagination.

I was given a complimentary copy for an honest review by author Maria Amor.
Trey Cross needs to get married or he wont be able to have cubs and his time is running out.When his brother signs him up for a shifter mixer he almost refuses to go until he finds out some gal is stealing from shifters so he wants to find out who it is. Gia Santos gets talked into going to a shifter mixer by her friend but little did she know she would meet a rugged handsome Trey and sparks would fly.
The story line flow was really well done. The author made the characters seem like they were real live people and living next door. The book was very well written with action and drama thrown into the romance.
This book is for any mature paranormal romance book lover.

A fasr sweet romance that almost doesn't happen
I didn't want to like Trey. He was emotionally damaged and untrusting of women. He had scars on the inside that were deeper than his outside scars. Gia deserved a guy without all the baggage he brought to her. As the story worked itself out, I began to understand him and was kind of hoping they might work out their differences. The crazy evil plot twist was not fully developed, I mean they could have gone deeper with it, but it did serve the purpose of an outside catalyst. I enjoyed the steady pace of this story as well as the character elements and the twist of evil that was just glossed over. If I could give it a 4.5 I would.

Gia and Trey are both looking for someone when they first see each other. Trey has a deadline to meet or he won't ever father children. Gia has been disappointed but hopes shifters might be more into her curves. She gets a lot of attention but it is Trey who catches her eye. She doesn't know about his other agenda for being there. It really challenges their relationship when he reveals what he mistakenly believed about her. She has to decide if she can forgive and move on.
I enjoyed the short story. It is a good read with a unexpected complication to their relationship. I received a copy in return for a honest review.

Trust is what this book is about.
Troy feels he has been damaged and gia just wants troy to love and Hershey anew made for each other If certain people will leave them alone. This is a very exciting story .it certainly held my interest.
i was so afraid they would not get together as it was meant to be. Harshness and his being materialist ruined it. But they got together and he marked her forever as his mate.

This could have been more...just more!
There were too many things going on for a short story. There would have been conflict just with the hero's own issues. There were a few things that didn't make sense to me so the story felt incomplete. The conflicts were easily resolved and some not even mentioned(like what happened to her career?).
I liked the new differences in shifters from other books.
Mature content, HEA

Bearly Hers
I was wondering if It was someone close to her that was the thief. I knew as soon as Mack approached her he was crooked. I loved how it ended and when he told her he put a son in her.

I loved this book. It was a awesome story and the characters were very likable. It was a nice easy read, which read smoothly. But I would have liked Gia to be a stronger character, especially when Trey treated her so badly. Other than that it was a really enjoyable read!

It was an interesting story but it was too short. I wish the Ms. Amor would have add more to the story or at least make it longer.
