A BBW and her Bear get dirrrty!
***This is a STANDALONE SHORT. This a NOT a full-length book. This short ends in a happily ever after with no cliffhanger***
Julie Durante loves every single one of her curves. So when she met a hot as heck bear shifter who loved them too, she was more than happy, for a little while. A year after their break-up, she finds herself on the stage, being auctioned off and bought by the grouchy bear. Things couldn’t get worse, right? Wrong.
Rafe Sinclair has loved strong-willed Julie for a long time. Their relationship took a hit when he refused to acknowledge his feelings for her but demanded commitment. Taking her captive was never the plan, but life has a cruel sense of humor.

This was an amazing story in the Fur-ocious Bears trilogy! Julie and her friends have been signed up for the bachelorette auction for their work’s non-profit fundraiser. She’s proud and confident, but when her ex-boyfriend bear shifter Rafe wins her action, she’s had enough. She can’t get over the fact that he couldn’t commit or admit his feelings for her. He ends up kidnapping her so he can try to talk to her and make things right, but this strong willed female isn’t having any of it until their flame reignites. I think this was my favorite short story between the three bear shifters and their mates. The attraction and conflict between Julie and Rafe is burning hot and undeniably there. The scenes were more steamy than the others and the story kept me wanting more.

Sorry, but the heroin was a too much a bitch for me to like her plus her problem. with hero was annoying and overly dramatic for me. hero should have gotten someone better. if this what a independent confidence woman who love her body is .No thank you try again. you be all that an not be a. overdramatic bitch

This is the 3rd of the bear shifters series and it is about Julie and Rafe. They split as Rafe would not admit his feelings to Julie and the year apart was difficult for both of then.
Fitting finish to the 3 friends and 3 brothers and no onto the 3 tigers book as part of the series.

Rafe and Julie were a very interesting couple. It was a great read.

So good
Rafe and Julie reconcile when he sweeps her into his arms and, like Calgon, takes her away. She brings the smile back to her bear's face when she goes along for the ride.

This is a great series Milly Taiden as always has out done herself. Her hot alpha men and Sexy curvy woman are such a great combo.
This quick fast pace read is not to be missed. Make sure to grab that cold icy drink you will need it.Ms Taiden knows how to steam up a book with hot smoking sex.
“Fine. You want it the hard way, huh? I can do that for you, princess,” he said and lifted her in his arms, tossing her on his shoulder. She screamed. Rafe was the first and only man to ever be able to lift her without losing his breath. It was scary and exciting. He held her with one arm and slammed a hand over her ass. “Stay still, or I swear I’ll tear that f@#$ing dress off you right here and give these people a real show.”
Rafe Sinclair Knew he had messed up walking out on Julie and dumping her. With out her he was miserable he no longer smiled or enjoyed life and the things around him. When Ethan puts his plan in place to bid on there women Rafe decides he needs no proxy he is going to get Julie his self.
When he bids 1 million dollars she can't believe her luck.
Julie Durante Loved Rafe had watched him for the whole year since he broke up with her. She wanted more then to be a mate she wanted love. Rafe refused to give her what she needed him to open up. Now he is back and in her face about it.
Can Rafe get her to listen and know he needs her?
Will Julie take what Rafe gives her and work things out?
Can they become Fur-Given?
How in the world could a woman in her right mind refuse a hot-as-sin man like him? To make matters worse, he didn’t just talk a good game. Rafe had a mouth on him worthy of every dollar in her savings. She missed him in every sense of the word. Daily.

May 13, 2015Emotional or Not
This is 3 in the series and Rafe has some emotional issues. He let Julie slip through his grasp all because he couldn't say those three little words. Taking actions in his own hands he takes Julie at the auction after the bids are over. Yep, caveman style. But will Julie be able to take him back it's been over a year since they've been together and she's the one that's been there emotionally and giving out those three little words. Hopefully things will work out and he gets his head out of his ass. Another great shortie from Milly, though I wish they were longer. Read all 3 in this series in like 4 hours lol. But it's hot she never leaves us hanging in that department.

Will he GIVE her the one thing she requires?
Outrageous and passionate for the third book in this series. I wasn't sure the sky diving bit could be topped, but I was wrong!! And now a bit about the story...
Julie and Rafe finally have their turn on the auction block. Except Rafe doesn't have a stand in bid for him, he does it himself and blows the previous bids out of the water. There is only one problem, Julie recognizes his voice and refuses to leave with him. That is until he hoists her up on his shoulder and takes off with her. His plans are a little more glitzy than his brothers...
Favorite passage: “That bear of yours has a wild imagination.”

she saved the best for last
Julie cannot be with someone that can't tell her she is loved. Rafe believes he only needs to show it. Now Rafe is going to buy her from the auction himself. He can only hope he can convince her to be with him. Julie still wants to be loved by him can she get him to see how she feels. The passion in this book is red hot. I couldn't put the book down once I started it. Do not read if you cannot handle very sexual scenes this is not the book for you be sure to read the other two shorts in this series for the complete story. Each short is a stand alone but I recommend reading the others.

This was one of Ms Taiden's super shorties, somewhere around 30-35 minutes to read. It's a stand alone, but also part of a loosely related series, Furocious Lust Shorts. The first three, this being the last of those three, are about three best friends who fell in love with triplet bear shifters. For various reasons, the three couples break up and these stories describe the reconciliations between all three couples, one per book. If you're a fan of short erotica reads (the paranormal isn't really explored other than to be discussed), than I definitely recommend these and most any Milly Taiden book to you, though some are a little longer than others.

Best for Last
Julie is one outspoken curvy woman. She knows what she wants and won't settle for less than she believes she deserves. A year ago she fell in love with Rafe and let him know that she loved him. But after so long of Rafe not admitting he returned those feelings she dumped him to move on.
Rafe knows he messed up with Julie and knows he has man up and admit his feelings to win back his curvy goddess. Past experiences have made it hard for him to admit his feelings of love, but he knows he showed Julie everyday he loved her with his actions.
Can he admit to his feelings or will the past keep him from claiming his outspoken, curvy goddess?

Holy sexy Batman!!!
Wow!!! This was fast and hot, so so hot. Julie is the last to get auctioned off for the charity to raise money for the wildlife organization she works for. Rafe is a were-bear and bids on Julie for a second chance with her, as long as she'll listen, and to claim her as his mate. Julie and Rafe broke up over a year ago because Julie wouldn't commit to a mating with a man who won't confess his love to her. This book starts where the previous book, Furgotten, left off, you have to read the three books in order for them to make sense.

Another sizzling read in the series! I'm so sad that this is the last of the brothers stories! I freaking love this series! These are some sexy alpha bears and great sassy women! Rafe and Julie are super hot together. Their very passionate together and the fighting just makes them even hotter! This one was much more intense and edgy than the others but just as fun. A great conclusion to the series.

Bear on the hunt...
This is book 3 of the Furocious Lust series. Rafe messed up and lost his chance with his mate Julie when he would not tell her how he felt about her. It has been a year now and Rafe has decided he will do whatever it takes to get her back and keep her. Can he change her mind and get the HEA they deserve. I love this story. Hope there are more in the series. Wonderful reads!

Book 3 in the Furocious Lust series
3.5 stars
This is the best book so far. Short and sweet like the others, with an more flowing feeling.
Julie wants love from Rafe. Rafe wants Julie in his life forever, but does the word love really have to come into it?
A year ago this is what separated them. Now Rafe is willing to do anything to get Julie to be in his life, even bidding for her at the bachelorette auction.

"A beautiful second chance love story!
This story will have you dreaming of someone who could love you enough to let you go and then smart enough to come after you! Full of beautiful characterizations and a man who has trouble saying the right thing, you will keep reading because you WANT the girl to get the right guy. There are some sizzling scenes but they gotta work for them. Very nicely done, Milly Taiden, very nicely done!

Lots of sex
So.... Julie and Rafe have history. He asked her to marry him but she said no, so he dumped her. He wants her back but she still wants what she wanted a year ago.
Not bad as far as the writing goes. It's actually well put together for an inexpensive Kindle. But.... I like sex and all, but there was more of that than plot. So if you want to read really hot sex, this is definitely a story for you.

Furgiven
Well I must say I read all three short stories and enjoyed all of them. Read them in order to get the most enjoyment. The men are a little bit to potty mouth for me. My man is romantic but the vulgar sex talk is not my thing. The ladies can be plus sized without be described as having rolls.......gross......
But a good read....so enjoy ladies......

Three Little Words
I have really enjoyed these three shorts. They are all quick, fun reads. This one features the brother who has a hard time admitting his love for his mate so they break up and he wants to win her back. She isn't one to settle for less than she deserves so it is a battle. She is very feisty and confident. I like confident women who stand up for themselves.

Furgiven is Milly Taiden's third book in her trio of books about 3 best friends who end up with 3 bear-shifter brothers. In this one, Rafe broke up with Julie because she refused to commit...because he refused to say "I love you." Yeah kind of sounds convoluted but it makes sense in the story. I enjoyed the story. can't wait to see what Milly comes up with next.
August 30, 2015
Third is series. This one is even more fast-paced than the first two. Rafe wasted no time! I liked that he took control and went to the auction himself instead of waiting for someone to "deliver" Julie to him. Both Rafe and Julie are stubborn. Julie is definitely the sassiest of the three girls.
A must read for Milly Taiden fans

Rafe loved Julie but because of his past wasn't able to speak the words leaving Julie unable to mate with him. Then Rafe pushed her away, will he be able to win her back and finally tell her he loves her? Rafe is sexy and dominant and determined to get his mate back. Will a trip to Vegas be the turning point? I think Rafe was my favorite brother!!
