Bear-y Spicy Fairy Tales #1
Goldilocks and the Three Bear Shifters
Curvy Goldilocks has to deal with the three bear shifter bad boys from her past when she comes back to Port Jameson for her five-year high school reunion. When it turns out that each of the hunky men is still convinced she’s their fated mate, the rivalry between all three shifters gets worse than ever before.
Things get hot and heavy when mysterious black werebear Brian, fiery brown bear shifter Glen, and icy polar bear shifter Cliff all try to win her heart…but at the end of the night, will Goldilocks find a bed that’s just right?
After five years of no contact from the voluptuous blonde that broke their hearts, the three bear shifters are more than just grizzly at one another, and they’re going to settle this…even if they have to use their paws and claws. Fur will fly as the territorial bears try to win over the woman they’re sure is theirs…and theirs alone.
If you love sassy BBWs and bear shifters are what you live for, spicy ménages (à quatre!) are what you dream of, and fated mates are your obsession, check out “Goldilocks And The Three Bear Shifters”! This book is a standalone novella, part of the Spicy Bear-y Tales series of remixed fairy tales.

Paranormal menage romance about a BBW h meeting again her 3 bear shifter mates after 5 yrs at a high school reunion.
This was an okay read, the dialogue went into inane territory at times adding no value to the story, there were very few plot twists and the pace was slow. The sex scenes could have been improved, the chemistry wasn't very strong. I also felt the h was cool to the H's and she was playing with their feelings - she kept rejecting them, while it was clear the H's were crazy about her. It was hard to believe her about face.
The plot and blurb was promising, wish the writing lived upto it. There were no grammar spelling errors that were glaring.
2.75 stars!

Can't honestly say if it is adult steamy or not. I just couldn't take it anymore.
Boring and jumpy with no flow.
The characters seem immature and Boring.
The story is Boring
Everything about this is PAINFULLY BORING
It's only about 95 pages and I had to tap out before I even made it halfway.
I Am Not Wasting my time this year with BORING!

Once upon a time there was a curvy gal named Goldilocks…
While definitely not a case of Momma Bear, Poppa Bear and Baby Bear there are definitely three bears with three very different dispositions, that is except for the fact that they all love one curly headed Goldilocks. Brian, Glen and Cliff have been in love with Goldilocks from an early age. They were all the best of buds in high school. They each new she was the girl for them so when they each got their mate marks in their last year of school they each set out to claim her. That’s when their cozy friendship bit them all in the butt and sent the love of their lives running. Now she’s back for her five year high school reunion and the three bears are out to prove she’s their fated mate. Each of them separately and Goldilocks is right back where she started with three jealous, competitive brutes.
While every indication says Goldilocks is each of their mates… the question is… are they her mates? Things get steamy as they each do their best to win her over and away from each other. But no amount of hot steamy love making is going to be the deciding factor. This calls for three bears to come to grips with reality and realize that just maybe Goldilocks is the mate for all of them. It’s only when the three come together that Goldilocks will finally feel that true sense of belonging. Get ready for the traditional three beds in a very untraditional setting. Things may get a tad wet and muddy and a few tussles may ensue. But in the end I’d say it’s a much happier ever after than the traditional Goldilocks and the three bears had. As usual Ms. Sylvan has delivered on a new brand of fairy tale for the very adult reader. This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

My Thoughts - 3 out of 5 Unicorns - I liked it!!!
The cover is definitely hot and sexy with all the beasts on it :)
This is a great erotica book with a fairy tale base. It is about 90ish pages, and it is definitely for adults only because it is all adult scenes. It is also a HEA (Happily Ever After) book. Sable does a fantastic job in her writing where you have no problem visualizing what is happening, and it is scorchingly hot with all the sexy bear shifters. For me though, I like action in my books as well as the steamy scenes, and there is no action in this book. There is definitely drama and conflict with their relationships galore.
If you are looking for a HOT multiple partner shifter book that is all sex, you will love this book :)

Reviewed by SFF Dragon
I loved this book and really couldn't put it down, even when the steamy bits were burning my fingers.
The first book in the Bear-y Spicy Fairy Tales series of adult only twists on old favourites, 'Goldilocks and the Three Bear Shifters' is a steamy read from up and coming new author Sable Sylvan. I was given a copy of the book by the author in exchange for an honest review and I couldn't put it down, even when the steamy bits nearly burned my fingers. I loved the character of Goldilocks, and understood perfectly why the younger version of her left for Seattle straight after Graduation. She couldn't take the drama when her three best and oldest friends got identical mate marks and started fighting amongst themselves over who would get to be her mate. Nobody even bothered asking her, and she couldn't choose one over the others anyway.
The story follows the four former friends over the course of their High School 5 year Reunion, as each of the three, now enemy, bears, Brian, Glen and Cliff meet up with Goldie one at a time over the course of the night and try to persuade her that each is her true mate. Filled with steamy bits, recaps on their history, and when the three bears get into another fight with each other, Goldie leaving again. At least they come to their senses before she leaves Port Jameson for good and they eventually get a happily ever after they can all live with. I loved this story and read it in one go. I highly recommend the book and the author to anyone who loves a good paranormal romance.

As the night progresses she also runs into Glenn and Cliff who are both now full grown sexy ass bear shifters to. What's a girl to do taste all three of there porridges and see if one of them is her true mate or will she have to leave them behind again. all 3 want her only one can have her will she find her true mate or will she be heart broken again. Find out in this sexy steamy hot hot hot book full of sexy bear shifters and one beautiful curvy girl. This book was excellent I couldn't put it down I loved the characters and I loved the story line. I can't wait for Sable's next story!!

I was gifted an ARC from the author, in exchange for an honest review.
So having finished 'Goldilocks & the Three Bear Shifters' my first thought was, who would name their child Goldilocks??? other than that I did enjoy this book. It's my introduction into books by Sable Sylvan, so I was unsure what to expect.... POW, a classic twist on a Fairy Tale classic (although I have heard the originals) = wicked debute novel for Sable.
Goldilocks hasn't been back to her home town for 5 years & she shows up at her high school reunion, the first person she runs into asks about the 3 boys that were her best friends back then. She hasn't seen Brian, Glenn or Cliff since they all showed up to tell her the same thing, she ran & now she wants to get out of there & back to the city....
Okay so this story isn't at all like the original Goldilocks, but it still kept me riveted to the story. I can't wait to read the next Fairy Tale that Sable decides to ramp up.

First of all when I review a book I don't repeat the synopsis already provided because I want to get straight to it. I like to tell my fellow readers how it made me feel. Well after reading Sables version of goldilocks I definitely needed cool down time Simply a brilliant re telling of a classic but adult. I was on tenterhooks the whole time because it wasn't apparent who or if Goldie would choose one two or three or any of the bears. The passion just lept from the pages and I could not put it down for love or money until I had finished it. Brilliant read. Highly recommended!

Ok, the story was fine. It was the typos and mistakes that drove me crazy. Like at the end she was baking lasagna and then some paragraphs later it miraculously turned to pasta that needed draining. Or how one of the guys was washing dishes in the kitchen at the same time he shushed her by putting his finger on her lips. Really? Just edit better please.

Great Story Showing Knowledge Sometimes Helps OVER 18 READING
Goldilocks and her three beast meet again after she walked away from them ( and their fighting, trying to make her choose one of them) all six years ago. She just couldn't do what they ask are deal with the way they were after they got their mate marks (which all were the same) in 12th grade. She never heard or saw them again until she went back for their five year reunion. Now in a few hours she sees that nothing has changed but they are all bigger, stronger, hotter and still act like they are in high school. Well when she leaves this time she is never coming back or talking to any of them again. Can they change her mind? Is there anything that they can do to get her to stay? But stay with who? Who would be willing to let his mate go to his enemy? This is a story of four best friends who worlds turn upside down as each bear shifter guy turns eighteen and gets his mate mark ... But they were all the same golden locks how can that be right?

Pretty good but needs some work
I actually would've given this a full 5 stars but it really needs some editing work. There are a few small spelling errors, but my main issue was with continuation errors. For instance in one part of the book after Brian and Goldie have sex they put their clothes on and drive back to the school, but then a little further into their talking they're suddenly putting their c!other on again at the school. There were a few times their were issues like this in the book which is why I gave it a 3, not a 5.

I found this book by accident. I loved the story. I enjoyed this story. Not only is it a shifter story but it ends up as a ménage story also. Three bears in love with the same woman. It was a quick read for me. I encourage everyone to get this book, I think you will enjoy this story. I found Sable Sylvan a few months ago and I like her shifter books. She does a great job telling her stories. She takes a fairy tale and gives it a bit of a twist, which makes for a great story.

Got for an honest review.
First time reading from the author.
Talk about a Goldilocks being a hot erotica read with three hot shifter bears. First Brian, then Glen, Last one was Cliff. Then they all three were with Goldie and it makes for a real hot and steamy read. The hot menage was making the pages hot to touch. I loved the story with the hot erotica. Can’t wait to read more from the author.
Thank you for letting me read your story.

This is Brian, Glenn , Cliff and Goldie's story . Since this is a short story I do not know what all I can add to make my review different for some of the others without giving away too much ! This is so well written that it just seems to flow so much that leave you wanting more ! I strongly recommend this to everyone and just have to say I loved the twists and turns in this along with the sass !! Well done !!

Goldie grew up with Brian, Glen and cliff. All three bear shifters to her human. So when they all got the same mating marks. All three boys fought for Goldie. Which made her leave after high school. She couldn't choose one of them. So at the five year high school reunion. She runs into all three men. After being with each she still can't decide. Until one of them comes up with a plan he seen while he was in Russia. Can she be with all three without them tearing each other apart?

Okay story
This story was just okay. There were quite a few editing errors and mixed up names that made it a little confusing at times but I was able to work through it. It wasn't my cup of tea but the plot was definitely different. Obviously based on the fairy tale and using contemporary settings to update it.

Lovely take on the fairytale
I like how things weren’t pat and easy even with the mate marks. There were trails and tribulations and things didn’t just fall into place they had to work and plan their life which is a nice twist than the normal Utopia-like reverence for this lifestyle

Menage Quatre Hmmm?
This is a quick fun entertaining read about three shifters and a girl who were best friends growing up. But after puberty, they couldn't decide which one was her mate, so they went their separate ways. Enjoy I did.

Honestly, this was more erotica than I was expecting. The plot was fairly good, but could use a little work. An it needs editing. It is very distracting trying to get into the book when the sentences are jumbled up, or words aren't spelled right.

Best friends
Best friends forever and the mate mark was confusing to all of them. A big fight 5-6 yrs later still being ask to choose between the 3 bears. Then it's all figured out and they find a way to all be together

Good
It's a lot more drama than the original fairytale but also a lot more fun. It's also has a lot emotions in it.

This is a book a got from joining an ARC group for Sable Sylvan. I was a little worried about reading these. I have never read a shifter series that was not wolves or a feline of some kind. So I went in thinking that it was going to turn me off to reading them. This story follows Goldilocks Evans as she comes back to her five-year high school reunion. She so does not want to be back in her hometown. She meets up with friends from her past and on a journey of emotions.
Of course there are three bears in the book. There are Brian, Glen and Cliff. They are damn fine and completely different in personality and most of their wants. I would have to say that of the three guys Cliff would have to be my favorite character. The setting for this book is in a town called Port Jameson that is not all that far from Seattle. I think the flow the book was a good pace.
This book did not talk me all that long to read. Maybe two hours. I enjoyed it very much and can't want to read the next two. I think this will help me branch out in to other shifter series now. Thanks for the eye-opening experience.
