Bear-y Spicy Fairy Tales #3

Three Grizzlies Gruff

Rate this book
Curvy marionberry farmer and beekeeper Daisy Craston has no truck with trespassers, and when she catches three gruff grizzlies, all named William, in her marionberry fields, they don't just get her goat: they end up facing her trusty shotgun's barrel. Before Daisy has a chance to call the sheriff, the three bear shifters offer their rival an offer she can't refuse: free labor for the harvest season, in exchange for usage of her land and the right to cross her river for their moonwatching ceremonies.


The last thing that Daisy expects is for more than berries to grow on her land, but what do you get when you get one tough as nails Texan woman and three Oregonian bad boys? A heap of trouble and a bushel of loving! But first, Daisy's gotta get the werebear boys into shape and make them earn her love, in the fields...and in the bedroom. This is all business, and all pleasure.


The three Billys didn't expect to woo their mate this way. Billy, Liam, and Wylie never would have thought that a Texan woman would end up running Craston Bros. Honey, but when they learn her name is Daisy, they know she's the one they've been waiting for their whole lives. When they come up with a plan to get Daisy's attention, they never would have expected they'd end up with an opportunity to have a second chance and make a good impression. The fruits of their labor ends up being much more than honey: the real honey is their fated mate.


Daisy doesn't believe in fated mates: what are the chances that three hunky men would fall in love with her within weeks? There's no frikkin' way that it's possible...but will Daisy end up opening her mind, and her hearts, to the three bear shifters, or will these grizzlies end up alone, and more than a little gruff?


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 Three Grizzlies Gruff! This book is a standalone novella, part of the Bear-y Spicy Fairy Tales series of remixed fairy tales.

Can a girl get lucky enough to find a hunky bear mate, let alone three?

Daisy inherited her Granddaddy's Craston Bros. Honey farm famous for their honey and marionberries, so she moved from Texas to Oregon to take over the business, what she hadn't counted on was having 3 grizzly bears continuously trespassing on her land no matter how much she threatened them with her shotgun totting ways. What did she have to do to make them stop, the 3 Billy's just wouldn't give up and it didn't help that they looked so darn good in their human selves.

Liam, Wylie and Bill will do just about anything to get that southern belle.

I don't know how many times I'm going to say it, but I just love these stories. Ms. Sylvan really knows how to spin these shifter tales and I can't get enough of them, can't wait for the next one.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

Three Grizzlies Gruffed

The tale of Daisy and the three Bill’s: Wylie, Liam and Bill is refreshing and bit of a twist on Three Billy Goats Gruff. After getting to know the guys I had to wonder though where the gruff was. These three are so loving and adorable, so much more like three teddy bears than grizzly gruffs. Of course that had me looking up the word gruff in the dictionary. Nope these boys don’t have hoarse voices or rough and surly manners. Now Daisy on the other hand with her Texas twang and her shotgun in hand definitely qualifies. As I said just a bit of a twist there and if you are looking for the proverbial bridge you’ll find it just not where or when you might expect it.

Daisy Craston has inherited her grandfather’s marionberry farm in Port Jameson. Feeling a little over her head in a prospect she knows nothing about Daisy is doing her darnedest to make things work if only those pesky grizzlies would stay off her property. One trespass too many has Daisy confronting three naked grizzly shifters at the end of her trusty shotgun and making deals she wonders if she’ll be regretting. Working with these three shifters has her soon realizing that they aren’t so never do well as they might appear and falling for all three of them to boot.

Liam the alpha grizzly is the daytime chef, night time bartender extraordinaire. After seeing Wylie naked covered in mud Daisy is hard pressed to accept he’s actually a quite talented accountant. Throw in quiet handyman Bill who is more than skilled with his hands and you have the catch of the season. The problem? While they may know that Daisy is their fated mate… it’s quite another thing to get Daisy to accept that she can have all three. Things might get a bit rough and rocky on the way to HEA but this wouldn’t be a fairy tale if we didn’t get there eventually. Once again Ms. Sylvan delivers. This is one I’m sure you’ll enjoy. This book was received in exchange for an honest review.

Three Grizzlies And A Daisy

Daisy Craston has relocated to Port Jameson, Oregon after she inherits her grandfather's marionberry farm. It's a far cry from her hometown in Texas. This cowgirl knows cows and horses but marionberries and the bee hives that come with them? Not so much. It's been a tough learning curve but she's determined to make the farm succeed. If only she can get rid of those three Grizzly shifter varmints that continue to trespass on her land. It seems she has a direct route to their moonwatching ceremony site, but that's no excuse to ignore the law.
Daisy's patience has reached it's max when she catches the three shifters once again on her land. This time, rather than face the sheriff, the men make a deal with Daisy. They will work the marionberry harvest in exchange for being able to pass through her land.

Not one to pass up free labor, Daisy accepts their offer. She soon comes to realize the saying ...Don't judge a book by its cover...applies to these three men. Not the rough and tumble troublemakers she once thought, Daisy discovers each man possesses an admirable and useful skill. Liam is a talented chef, Wylie an accountant, and Bill a handyman. As the men work their way around the farm, they also begin to work their way into Daisy's heart.

Those of you who have been reading Ms. Sylvan's Bear-y Spicy Fairy Tales are well aware that all bear shifters are branded with a mate mark which is a clue to finding their fated mate. These Grizzlies are no exception. Just one problem: they all have the same mark and it points to Daisy.
Three Grizzlies Gruff is yet another fun addition to Sable Sylvan's very sexy adult fairy tale collection.

Sable did it again!! twigs and berries don't come close this time around.
keeping her honey and marionberry farm in business is hard labor, specially if you're doing it alone. what isn't helping that three gruff grizzly bears keep on trespassing on her land. her words couldn't keep them away, nor could the towns sheriff. at long last she confronts them with her shotgun. she's surprised because suddenly they appear to have made a 180 and are now doing all they can to make things better. they offer manual labor each weekend in exchange for access to her land, to be able to cross it so they can go to the moon-watching ceremonies.
she's taken aback by how helpful they become. there isn't an area they can't help with. she is a bit miffed when she finds out they actually know the farm better then they let on but that is quickly forgotten when one by one each of the bears win her over.
it appears they're all racing towards a happily ever after but are they? can Daisy let go of her own rules?
hearts get broken as these four people find a way to make things work.

with this book i'm starting to suspect Sable is having a bit of a food crush!! if the bears weren't already smoking hot some of the food described would do just the same *grins* Daisy's lemonade looks yummie!!
a must have book from the sable stables!!

Three Grizzlies Gruff by Sable Sylvan 4 Stars Review by Donna Hokanson 8/11/2015
When Daisy Craston was left her grandpa farm she was very surprised. But she didn’t figure she would have to put up with three grizzlies traipsing across her land all the time. The three bear shifters made a deal with her to help with the harvest of her berries in exchange for using the path across h the land to get to their moon ceremonies. But getting to the ceremonies isn’t the only reason the three keep showing up there, and Daisy is a big part of it herself. Well written and self-contained story that was enjoyable to read.

This is the perfect adult version of this tale and I look so forward to more . Daisy knows cattle and how to work them since she use to in Texas ,but when she takes over her grandfather's berry and honey farm she is a little overwhelmed. Billy, Liam, and Wylie know Daisy is their fated mate just from seeing their mate mark, just getting on her good side is going to be hard, volunteering to help on the weekends with the berries and books gets their feet in the door but having 3 mates will throw any girl for a loop. They just have to show her they are more than just 3 grizzlies gruff .

Another charming addition to the Bear-y Spicy Fairy Tales. Daisy has inherited the family farm from her grandfather. However, three bears keep trespassing on her land. In exchange for allowing them to use her land as a shortcut, they offer free labor through the harvest season. When a girl has three sexy were-bears at her beck and call, well things get really interesting. She doesn't believe in fated mates, but they do...

Sable Sylvan has done it again...these new fairy tales just get better and better. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Daisy is fed up with the three bear shifters that keep trespassing on her land, so she takes her shot gun and plans to run them off, what she gets instead is three free workers for her farm. Wylie, Liam, and Bill knew that Daisy was their fates mate as soon as they met her, but they have been trying to decide how to broach the subject with her. Once they get to that part things do not go as they had hoped, she freaks out and kicks them out. Can she overcome the fear of having not one but three bear mates?

I am really enjoying all these adult takes on fairytales. Daisy is running the family farm and annoyed by the bear shifters who keep crossing her property. They make a deal and agree to help her on the farm in return for access to her land. She doesn't know they suspect she is their fated mate. Daisy gets a lot more than she expected from the agreement. These stories are short and fun reads for those who like shifter romances. I received a copy in return for a honest review.

Daisy takes over her grandfather's farm and has 3 pesky bears going through her property. When she catches the three they shift back to their human selves. Liam, the leader followed by Willey, and Bill. They agree to work on her farm so they can pass on her property to their moon harvest. While working with all three daisy falls for them. It's hard she cannot figure out who she wants. So one night when it storms and she makes them get out of their wet clothes she sees their mating marks are the same. It's a daisy. Can daisy be with three men?

Really can't give too much of a review. Started reading and when the author put in that Marionberries are harvested in the fall I was done.
I happen to live in OR. and they are picked in the Spring to late Summer. (August).
If she wasn't sure then look it up.
Bee Keepers harvest honey late Summer and early Autumn. Not in the Spring.
I dont care how spicy it's supposed to be. Just please do your research.

They Want Her To Notice Them.

This is another quick fun read about three bears who are working this young woman's nerves by trespassing on her land. But of course there is a reason and hopefully she'll figure it out. Enjoy I did.

Sometimes 3 for 1 isn't always best

Yeah not for me. Was not the plot but the telling of it. Felt like the author was still honing her craft. I found her voice to be immature.

Once again whats not to love about 3 sexy bear shifters in love with a BBW. The fate marks are a great touch and a great way for one to find who they are meant to be with for life.

Title: Three Grizzlies Gruff
Series: Bear-y Spicy Fairy Tales
Note: This is a continuation books in the series, book 3, but is a stand alone.
Author: Sable Sylvan

This is my review of Three Grizzlies Gruff, book 3 in The Bear-y Spicy Fairy Tales Series. I got this book in the series free in exchange for an honest review. This is the continuation of a great world and it can be read as a standalone with no cliffhanger ending, it is the whole story. Be warned though you will not want to stop with just this one book and you will want to know the whole story from start to beginning. This book mentions other characters from the other books and it may just been in passing but you may find yourself wanting to know more about the other couples. Despite the length it does move at a good pace and keeps you interested. In fact I moved through the book so fast I was sad when it was over. :(

As you can tell from the title this is the story of 3 bears and one human who has no idea what is in store for her, it is a play on the old 3 Billy Goats Gruff story. Daisy has inherited the marionberry farm and if you have read any of the other books in this series you will understand how important that is to the bears in the area who love the products from this farm. Many times since she has moved in she has caught 3 bears crossing her lands without permission. Guessing that they are shifters she goes out to confront them and meets Bill, Wylie and Liam (Their real names are all William so they have their own nickname versions) who all offer to help her around the farm in exchange for her permission for them to cut across her land to make it to moon watching ceremonies. Unknown to Daisy they all know who she is and what she means to them so they all have to work on trying to get Daisy to accept them, all of them, as her mates. Problem is Daisy is a respectable woman from the South who has problems with multiple partner matings. Can they convince her that she is the only one for them?

I like how the old fairy tail was changed in order to include shifters and more modern times. It is a nice way to see a new story within technically an older story. The only thing I didn't like was that it was a little short but I still loved it.

Another Phenomenal Fairy Tale ,
Ms. Sylvan's has written this Fairy Tale just for us ladies. Wow just thinking about Three Sexy Hot Bears make me HOT!!
Daisy Craston inherited the family business
Craston Bros. Honey, from her grandfather when he past away. She work so hard to keep this farm going, learning to do everything there is to planting to harvest. Right now she was mad her security camera system had the three Bill's trespass on her property. The Three boys always came on Daisy's property to travel across to the woods..
Daisy Craston was a Texan, so being on a maionberry and honey bee keeper was all together a different deal. There was no way she was letting Three Bear Shifters go across her land tearing up all her hard work let alone every body knows Bears love honey.
The Three Bill's have been together since they were little cubs playing and growing up together, they were inseparable. Bill, Wylie and Liam were on her land again. Getting her shotgun ready the three bears transformed into three well built naked ,mouth watering hunks. Who are trying to make her understand that this was the only way to cross to the woods for there moon ceremony. The four of them revised a plan so that all the parties are happy. The boys are to help harvest the marionberries and honey and they could cross her land it was a win/win situation. Daisy was proud of herself and the boy's were ecstatic because not only are they able to cross the land for there moon ceremony BUT they also got to spend time with Daisy and get to know her. I was gifted this ARC for an honest and truthful review.
