some were very good, and some were very bad. more good than bad, though. my one major complaint is that most of the stories spent 95% of the time building up to the climax, and the climax and resolution portions of the stories ended in several pages and seemed very rushed. some of the stories could be absolutely amazing had they been flushed out properly. Some could have been edited for spelling/grammar better...no I am not a grammar nazi, but some of the errors did cause confusion.
The Bear In Me – Amy Star
Overall an interesting story line. Sort of wish it could have been a longer story. Both main and side characters were interesting.
Bear In The City – Amira Rain
Not my favorite, but not a horrible story by any means. Interesting idea with the whole secret project mess and memory wipes.
The PlayBear Billionaire – Maria Amor
An okay story. Sadly, it was kind of forgettable.
The Bear's Mate – Rosa Foxxe
I liked the idea, but the ending left me confused and wanting more. It wrapped up very quickly, and I feel like there could have been a nice epilogue to flush out some of the ideas behind the book better.
Taken By The Bears – JJ Jones
An okay story. Sadly, it was kind of forgettable.
The Bears Baby – Jade White
This is the only one that I will complain about being too long. It wasn't a bad story. Actually interesting with a more natural background for the shifter idea. There were definitely portions that felt like they were drug out for way too long, though. A sweet story overall, though.
The Bears Shared Bride – Amy Star
This was my favorite story in the collection. I wish it had been longer. With these types of stories, I feel like there is rarely a lot of good character development. This one had pretty good characters, and I loved the dilemmas that the main character faced (ie, victim to hero). Some of the shared romances books skeeve me out. This one didn't though. It was actually kind of sweet to see how the relationships were approached.
Her Bear In Mind – Maria Amor
One of my favorites in the collection. Interesting background for the shifter idea. I can't exactly pinpoint what I enjoyed about the story, but I just know that the characters were interesting, and the events were fresh compared to other stories.
The Bears Princess – Ellie Valentina
The fairytale idea was pretty cute. The bluntness of some of the writing was odd, but also sort of matched with the idea of it being a fairytale type story. Some resolution would have been nice. The story sort of cut out at the end. I feel like there could have been 2-3 more chapters, but just as the characters admitted feelings for one another, it was over.
Sold To The Bears – Amira Rain
I felt weird about this one at first, but it was actually pretty good. Again, some blunt writing made it a bit odd in parts. The background and struggle of the female main character was interesting as she tried to figure out who to trust, and who not to. Quick ending, but one that I could live with.

WOW, 10 Bear Shifter Stories all in one set. What a deal. Just to give you an example of what you'll find: Maria Amore's Her Bear In Mind, was one I could not put e down. If you are a Bear Shifter fan, this one is for you. If you aren't after reading it—you will be.
Sierra, persistent reporter looking for her big-break-story, thinks she has it with state Governor Joe. She knows there is more to this down to earth, gorgeous hunk, politician and she thinks she knows what. Oh, there is more to him, much more and she has no idea. Finding out puts her in danger and finding it difficult to stick to the story. She'd much rather stick to him and he feels the same.
It is non stop action with some comic relief from two females you will love. There is danger from the Bear shifter community, not every one is happy with her knowing Joe is their Alpha. Death or … well, don't want to spoil it for you so read to find out her options.
The local bear community is not the only danger awaiting Sierra and those around her. This story kept me reading past the “just a couple chapters to see what it is like” to staying up until I'd finished it, and very satisfied with the ending.
The other books in the box set are good as well and for this price you cannot miss this offer. Would make great gift so buy a couple extra for your shifter fan friends.

This is a good collection of stories featuring bear shifters. I had read some of them previously but the other stories were new to me.
My favorites:
The Bears Shared Bride – Amy Star - One bride and two grooms trying to adjust to their new roles with the threat of danger surrounding them
Sold To The Bears – Amira Rain (previously read this one and enjoyed it again). A human has lost her parents and has now been sold to the bears she believes are responsible for the death of her adopted parents.
Her Bear In Mind – Maria Amor (another story I previously read). A reporter finds how that the man running for office has much more serious secrets than she thought.
I like these collections for discovering new authors. There is a good variety of stories to enjoy.
I received a copy in return for a honest review

This was one of those collection books that is HUGE like 800 pages big! I would read a while and then but it aside when one of my pre-ordered books would show up on my kindle and then go back and read some more. There was not a novella on it that I did not like. I mean who doesn't love shifters and who doesn't love BEARS.
One thing i liked is you can flip to the front of the book and go to the next story if you don't care for the one you are reading,
My favorites were The PlayBear Billionaire by Maria Amor
Sold to the Bears by Amira RAIN
THE Bear in Me by Amy Star

Good stories and characters. Awful editing and proofreading
Some of the stories were well written with imaginative plots and characters. Others were nearly impossible to read due to run-on sentences, poor sentence structure, poor use of a thesaurus, lack of continuity, lack of punctuation, no punctuation, etc., etc.. The authors would do much better with a good proofreader and editor.
I realize these books are meant to be just for entertainment. But trying to read some of them was just more work than entertaining.

I really enjoyed having all these books in one bundle. I was able to read authors I hadn't been exposed to previously. I found book 8, Her Bear In Mind by Maria Amor, and book 10, Sold to the Bears by Amira Rain, to be the best of the bunch. A couple weren't very good, but I don't want to let them bring the others down.
If you like reading paranormal bear shifter romance, this is definitely worth the money and the time to read.

I love a good shifter story and this box set as 10 to choose from. Each one is a wonderful story and I did not want to stop read at the end of each one. Recommend to all paranormal lovers who like to read a variety of stories. Happy reading.

For the price of .99 it is worth it
I really liked many of these stories, there were some bad ones; issues with poor story-telling and poor editing in a few. On the whole, the collection is. Interesting and I found some good authors to follow. For .99 cents I would recommend it.

Poorly edited stories
The stories are poorly edited. Many times the wrong spelling is used (hear vs here) or the wrong word entirely is used (really vs ready) . It was so annoying I couldn't finish the series.

Great collection
There was quite a bit of variety even though all of the stories were about bears. The best part was that there were no cliffhangers.

The stories started out good but got worse. I couldn't even finish the a few of them. I just gave up trying to finish this anthology and moved on to something better.
