Curious, Erin decides to give love one last try and join the mail-order bride agency. Shifter Owen Brooks is a lion on a mission.

Starting with a wolf attack that lands her in hot water with her sister's bad ass boss.Damien just wants to get through Mating Season and get back to normal. His would be mate is not at all what he expected and not exactly his type. Not to mention off limits. Until she shows up smelling like another wolf. Now all bets are off and this Alpha will do anything to protect her--including claim her.
Lone Bear - Ruby Shae
Gage Adams, a grizzly bear shifter, has wanted human Kate Sinclair since their first meeting. The curvy, plus-sized waitress is his mate, yet he still hasn’t figured out how to tell her about his bear. When Kate is put in danger, all bets are off, and nothing can stop the grizzly from claiming and protecting his mate.
Jace - Kenzie Cox
Jace Riveaux has wanted her since the first moment she stepped into his bayou bar three years ago. And now she’s back, unattached, and ready for the taking. One afternoon together, and he knows she’s the one. Only his world is dangerous, he has secrets, and trust is hard to come by...especially when all signs point to her being aligned with his enemy.
Skye Michaels has nothing left to lose. After a bad breakup, she flees to her favorite southern Louisiana town, determined to finally get photographs of the majestic wolves that roam the area. Instead she gets what she really came for—Jace Riveaux. But when the Riveauxs are threatened by someone she knows, suddenly she has more to lose than ever.
Brindle - V. Vaughn
Katie Winslow gave up being human the night of senior prom to become a werewolf. But once reality set in she ran off to college and left her mate behind. Now the fever to reproduce is so great she can’t think straight.

ALPHAS UNLEASHED ROCKS !!!
Title: Alphas Unleashed: Paranormal Shifter Romance Box Set
Authors: Multiple
My Rating: FIVE DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAINING STARS *****
Yowza! What a fabulous bundle! Six exceptional standalone novellas by six very talented authors combined into one delicious cute and delightfully entertaining bundle. And NO CLIFFHANGERS! WooHoo! I love it! Oh my goodness! It's so good I can hardly stand myself right now! I haven't had a chance to read all 350 pages of the delectable treat but I have read three of the stories and just wanted to share my opinion of just how wonderful I think they are!
1) Title: Bound To Her Bear
Series: Bear Bluff Clan
Author: Harmony Raines
My Rating: FIVE DELICIOUSLY SWEET STARS *****
Wow! Another sweet treat from Harmony Raines! Bound To Her Bear is the first novella in her delicious new Bear Bluff Clan Series and she has delivered another winner! The story is deliciously cute, delectably sweet, completely captivating and seriously sexy. The dialogue is well written and flows well. The characters are captivating, engaging and lovable. Eirik McCormac is the newest and youngest member of the Bear Bluff Clan Council. He has been appointed to the position of Holder of the Deeds, or more commonly known as treasurer by his Uncle Stuart McCormac, alpha of the clan. His father previously held the office but had recently died leaving the clan in quite a dangerous predicament. His father, Wayne McCormac, had signed over the deed to their sacred lands at Garrow's Creek to Carson Frasier of the Bear Creek Clan causing quite the scandal. Carson had claimed he was Wayne's eldest son by a female bear from Bear Creek and by law the deeds should be passed to him. Fortunately, Carson's claim had been disproved through DNA evidence and the sacred lands returned to Bear Bluff. Although the matter has since been resolved and Carson actually had no legal claim to the land, his father's memory had still been tarnished and his judgement on all clan matters had been called into question. His poor mother had been hearten and shaken by his father's actions. He now lived with the shame of his father's actions along with the ache in his heart to find his true mate yet he wondered if any woman could ever accept him with the shame he bore. Drew Stanton had lived in Bear Bluff her entire life and had all but lost hope of ever finding her true mate. After her mother's death, her dad had seem to give up on life completely. He began drinking heavily which eventually led to him losing his job. Almost overnight, she became the sole bread winner and primary care giver for her dad. Maybe it was for the best that she had never found her true mate. What man would ever want her? She had always been attracted to Eirik McCormac and in school they had even been friends but now he didn't even speak to her. He probably thought she wasn't good enough for him. They weren't true mates so why would he want to be friends with her. He no longer knew she existed. Or did he? Hmm.....Maybe the mistress of fate just hasn't had enough time to work her magic. Oh my! No spoilers here but I will say this.....Handsome sexy bear shifter-check! Beautiful virgin female bear shifter-check! Heartache, angst, heated attraction, fiery passion, sweet romance, a true mate surprise and some steamy dreamy sex-you bet! I can hardly wait to read about handsome Dr Hansom in Book Two of the series. This is a stand alone novella with NO cliffhangers and a wonderful happily ever after ending. Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
2) Title: Loving the Lion
Series: Mail Order Mates
Author: Lola Kidd
My Rating: FIVE DELECTABLE STARS *****
I absolutely love it! It's just so darn good! Loving the Lion is the first book in the amazing new Mail Order Mates series by Lola Kidd and it is awesome! Kidd has once again exhibited her exceptional talent and extraordinary imagination by delivering yet another masterpiece of paranormal romance. She never fails to entertain her readers. Every time I read one of her books, I always finish feeling completely satisfied with a large dose of the warm fuzzies in my heart. The story is exciting, original, imaginative, fast paced, heartwarming, humorous, romantic, arousing and sensual. The dialog is smart, well written and flows beautifully. The characters are fascinating, captivating, engaging, endearing and sexy. Beautiful curvy Erin Numm is only 28 but she's done with dating and relationships. Heck, it's been 18 months since her last date. Yep, she's done with men! Or so she thought! While shopping with her sister, Erin is approached by a mysterious stranger who introduces herself as Olivia Grey with Lovely and Kind Brides, a mail order mates agency for shifters. Huh? And most surprising, she has the perfect match for Erin! What? Sexy lion shifter and rancher, Owen Brooks is a man on a mission. Well, two missions to be precise. Number one is finding a mate through Lovely and Kind Brides. It's been 8 long months and still no success. Nope, so far nothing - until Olivia Grey submitted Erin's photo and profile. He took one look at the lovely Erin and he knew she was the one. Now all he has to do is meet her, convince her to move to Sunset Falls and become his mate. Now for number 2 - get Sunset Falls back in American Shifter Weekly magazine as one of the best small towns in the country for shifters, an award they won once in 1953. And all he has to do is convince his family and the townspeople to help and whip Sunset Falls and his pride back into shape. Easy peasey! Right? Not! Sexy shifters-check! Beautifully curvy bride-check! Humor, romance and a little good old fashion sex-check! This is not a serial. It is a complete book with no cliffhangers. There will however, be more books in the series and I can hardly wait for Book 2! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
3) Title: Wild
Series: Devils Point Wolves
Author: Eliza Gayle
My Rating: FIVE SEXY STARS *****
Wow! Eliza Gayle has delivered another winner with Wild, the first book in her new Devil's Point Wolves Series! I love it! But then, I love all of Eliza Gayle's work and this one is certainly no exception! The story is romantic, arousing, sexy, exceptionally well written, well executed, exciting and starts with a roar rather than a squeak! Yep, Gayle revs the engine and puts the wheels in motion right out of the gate and she's balls to the walls, all the way to the finish line! She's not playing around with this series. And oh my goodness, the characters are powerful, compelling, engaging and sexy as sin! Va..Va..Voom! The characters are absolutely delightful! The male characters are handsome, strong and demanding and the female characters are certainly no wilting flowers. They take no prisoners and are ready to kick some serious butt! I just love it when a story has strong female leads! Recent college graduate and good girl, Faith Harris has had just about enough from her minutes younger, rebellious twin sister, Rebel. Yep, she definitely lives up to her name. As if working as a stripper at Club Diablo isn't bad enough, now she's not answering her phone and Faith fears the worst. It's been days and still not a word. What's a girl to do??? It seems she has no alternative. She must drive to the ridiculously isolated island of Devil's Point to locate her sister but unfortunately for Faith, she'll find a lot more than her sister! No spoilers from me but I will say this....Beautiful blonde human bombshell times two-check! Handsome. sexy wolf-shifter club owner-check! Danger, drama, a rogue shifter, a mating moon, a lust fueled mating season and an unexpected turn of events-check! Heated attraction, fiery passion, true mates, sweet romance and some steamy dreamy sex-you bet! That and a whole lot more! Deliciously cute, seriously sexy and delightfully entertaining!
This is a stand alone short with NO cliffhanger and comes complete with its very own HEA.
Complimentary copy received in exchange for an honest review.

I love these sets for discovering new authors. This set is a little smaller than some of the others. The stories included are well worth your time and money. They feature different shifters finding love. They all have great chemistry with their mate and it is a lot of fun to see them fall in love and make it work.
One that was new to me was Jace by Kenzie Cox. The chemistry is amazing and they have been denying it for years until they are both unattached and willing to take a risk.
I enjoyed Wild by Eliza Gayle which is the story of twin sisters discovering that shifters exist and finding themselves very attracted to two brothers who are wolf shifters.
I had read Brindle by V. Vaughn when it was released and have read the stories featuring his brothers and other wolfs in the pack. It takes childhood sweethearts in a very different direction.
Loving the Lion by Lola Kidd is part of a great series about shifters finding their mates via a mail-order bride matchmaking service. There are some great stories in the series and this one starts it all.

Brindle - V. Vaughn
A sweet story about Katie who has been turned into a warewolf by her true mate Brindle. She refuses to accept it and when she is in heat he is the only one who can help her even if she dont want it. Will Katie take Brindle back and will they be the savior of the pack?
This story is very short but very interesting. its more about sex and love then about shifters even if the main theme in the story is the fight about who you are and who you chooce to be. I really enjoyed this story and I want to read more about Katie and Brindle and get the story deeper than it is presented in this novel but still a very good novel and it is very well written.
Lone Bear - Ruby Shae
Kate has just lived in Bear mountain for 2 year but from the beginning she felt drawn to Gage. She was also the only one who knew his secret and he didnt know about it. Gage was a bear shifter and he felt that Kate was his true mate but dont know how to talk to her. His instinct is to protect her no matter what, both as human and bear. But would his shifting make Kate from him? and how would he handle when the love of his lifes, life is at risk?
I enjoyed this story a lot. It is sweet and funny and full of love and sex. it really feels like a compleat story and not just a shorter novel. I cant get enough of this story and want to read more and that is good. The sex scens can sometimes be to much and to repeatative but it works, but I must confess that some of the authors word choice feels wrong. Otherwise this is a very great novel.
Wild - Eliza Gayle
Faith hasnt heard from her sister in a few days and now when the finals are over she have to go and find her. On her way she runs into a bad fog and she things she hit a wolf. while trying to find the injured animal the wolf bites her. A few hours later she walks into the stripclub where her sister work. Damien, the owner is there and Faith really feels connected to the man. What she dont know is that the wolf that bit her is a shifter and Damien is one too. Faith is Damiens true mate and now when she is bitten he has to tell her the truth and clame her before someone else does. She is eally in danger and it dont help that Faiths sister didnt take the shifter thing lightly.
This novel is really great and I really loved it. it is very well written with good characters and the stroy is just amazing. It has everything a good shifter story would have, love, true mates, not knowing and a rebell that shows up and both helps in a way and put things up side down on the other. The romance in the novel is very good and feels very real. I am gonna look up and read the continue of this story because the only bad thing with it, is that the ending is not saticfying. there is way more to this so if you really want to know whats gonna happen you have to read the other stories. The other once before is also part of bigger stories but has a more closing ending than this one but still I dont see this ending that leaves everything open is bad. it makes me as a reader want more.
Bound ot her Bear - Harmony Raines
Eirik and Drew has been friends in school but latley they have drifted apart but they can never escape eachother because they are in the same bear pack. Drews father lost his true soulmate and Eiriks mother lost her soulmate. When Eiriks father died he left a mess behind and eirik now have to try to fix everythin and after Drews mother died her father has been drinking a lot.
Eirik and Drew started talking again and decided to be friends, non of them wants to find their true soulmate but what happens when their soulmate walks into their lives?
This story has a lot of potential but as it is, I found it quite boring. It was a lot repetition and I mean A LOT of repetition and it made it very annoying. THe story never moved and I got really board of it. And when something happened it was a lot of sex and the author described the male organ in detail and said cock and described all his did well but when he came to her it was just "her sex" nothing more. its like the author is afraid about the female parts and reading so detailed info about his cock and then just "her sex" made it so wrong. Its like the female never mattered. So far, this is the novel I like the least.
Jace: Wolves of the Rising Sun -
Skye is a wolf loving woman who just has broken up from a bad relationship. She decided to go to a small area to take photos and relax, and that she will be close to handsome Jace dont make it worse. He offers to take her out on the boat for some special photos and without warning a big stome is rolling in. They have to seak cover and Jace dont know if it is a good idea. He is obsessed with Skye and think she is his true mate but he dont know if she wants him or how she would react. It also happens to be more behind Skye than anyone can see and it will means trouble.
I must say that this story is very interesting, altering the person you follow and see the story from both persepctive and I really enjoyed it. It is a very well written story and it has a good storyline. The characters is very human like and you can imagine them alive. This is one of the strong points of this story. I really enjoyed this story but it doesnt give me the urge to read more. This is a great novel but nothing that drives me crazy.
Loving the Lion - Lola Kidd
Erin is so tired of men and hasnt dated in ovver 1,5 years due to bad experience. All her friends are getting married and have children. One day Erin is out shopping with her sister for a wedding and Olivia spots Erin. She approch her and lets her know she is the agen of a agency who is looking for mates for shifters. Owen is a Lion shifter who has been in the system for a very long time and havnt yet found his mate and Olivia is sure Erin is the match. But is she? and do Erin really want to go that far to try an agency to find love and marriage?
This story is just so cute and heartwarming and I really loved everything about is. It has a lot of hope, changes, chance, love and some romance. This story is about shifters but not in the way that most shifter stories are, this is different in a good way. The shifting and struggle isnt the big part, its love and how to make normal life work. Only one scene is about a person in shifting form and the rest is about shifters in a more normal way, about life. I really love this story in so many ways and this is among the top my favorites in this bundle.
Overall thoughts
This is a good bundle of hot and sexy Shifter Novels and I like almost all of them. Something I dont like about this is that before every novel is a little part, like a preview or summary about whats gonna happen and that destroyed the storeis before reading them so I just stoped reading this spoilers.
This bundle is otherwise perfect if you love romance and shifters. Most of the novels is very good and all of them are well written. I can really recommend this bundle. It is not long books but short novels and that is good if you are busy, Have little time to read or not want to read a big heavy book.
A sweet story about Katie who has been turned into a warewolf by her true mate Brindle. She refuses to accept it and when she is in heat he is the only one who can help her even if she dont want it. Will Katie take Brindle back and will they be the savior of the pack?
This story is very short but very interesting. its more about sex and love then about shifters even if the main theme in the story is the fight about who you are and who you chooce to be. I really enjoyed this story and I want to read more about Katie and Brindle and get the story deeper than it is presented in this novel but still a very good novel and it is very well written.

Kate has just lived in Bear mountain for 2 year but from the beginning she felt drawn to Gage. She was also the only one who knew his secret and he didnt know about it. Gage was a bear shifter and he felt that Kate was his true mate but dont know how to talk to her. His instinct is to protect her no matter what, both as human and bear. But would his shifting make Kate from him? and how would he handle when the love of his lifes, life is at risk?
I enjoyed this story a lot. It is sweet and funny and full of love and sex. it really feels like a compleat story and not just a shorter novel. I cant get enough of this story and want to read more and that is good. The sex scens can sometimes be to much and to repeatative but it works, but I must confess that some of the authors word choice feels wrong. Otherwise this is a very great novel.
Wild - Eliza Gayle
Faith hasnt heard from her sister in a few days and now when the finals are over she have to go and find her. On her way she runs into a bad fog and she things she hit a wolf. while trying to find the injured animal the wolf bites her. A few hours later she walks into the stripclub where her sister work. Damien, the owner is there and Faith really feels connected to the man. What she dont know is that the wolf that bit her is a shifter and Damien is one too. Faith is Damiens true mate and now when she is bitten he has to tell her the truth and clame her before someone else does. She is eally in danger and it dont help that Faiths sister didnt take the shifter thing lightly.
This novel is really great and I really loved it. it is very well written with good characters and the stroy is just amazing. It has everything a good shifter story would have, love, true mates, not knowing and a rebell that shows up and both helps in a way and put things up side down on the other. The romance in the novel is very good and feels very real. I am gonna look up and read the continue of this story because the only bad thing with it, is that the ending is not saticfying. there is way more to this so if you really want to know whats gonna happen you have to read the other stories. The other once before is also part of bigger stories but has a more closing ending than this one but still I dont see this ending that leaves everything open is bad. it makes me as a reader want more.
Bound ot her Bear - Harmony Raines
Eirik and Drew has been friends in school but latley they have drifted apart but they can never escape eachother because they are in the same bear pack. Drews father lost his true soulmate and Eiriks mother lost her soulmate. When Eiriks father died he left a mess behind and eirik now have to try to fix everythin and after Drews mother died her father has been drinking a lot.
Eirik and Drew started talking again and decided to be friends, non of them wants to find their true soulmate but what happens when their soulmate walks into their lives?
This story has a lot of potential but as it is, I found it quite boring. It was a lot repetition and I mean A LOT of repetition and it made it very annoying. THe story never moved and I got really board of it. And when something happened it was a lot of sex and the author described the male organ in detail and said cock and described all his did well but when he came to her it was just "her sex" nothing more. its like the author is afraid about the female parts and reading so detailed info about his cock and then just "her sex" made it so wrong. Its like the female never mattered. So far, this is the novel I like the least.
Jace: Wolves of the Rising Sun -
Skye is a wolf loving woman who just has broken up from a bad relationship. She decided to go to a small area to take photos and relax, and that she will be close to handsome Jace dont make it worse. He offers to take her out on the boat for some special photos and without warning a big stome is rolling in. They have to seak cover and Jace dont know if it is a good idea. He is obsessed with Skye and think she is his true mate but he dont know if she wants him or how she would react. It also happens to be more behind Skye than anyone can see and it will means trouble.
I must say that this story is very interesting, altering the person you follow and see the story from both persepctive and I really enjoyed it. It is a very well written story and it has a good storyline. The characters is very human like and you can imagine them alive. This is one of the strong points of this story. I really enjoyed this story but it doesnt give me the urge to read more. This is a great novel but nothing that drives me crazy.
Loving the Lion - Lola Kidd
Erin is so tired of men and hasnt dated in ovver 1,5 years due to bad experience. All her friends are getting married and have children. One day Erin is out shopping with her sister for a wedding and Olivia spots Erin. She approch her and lets her know she is the agen of a agency who is looking for mates for shifters. Owen is a Lion shifter who has been in the system for a very long time and havnt yet found his mate and Olivia is sure Erin is the match. But is she? and do Erin really want to go that far to try an agency to find love and marriage?
This story is just so cute and heartwarming and I really loved everything about is. It has a lot of hope, changes, chance, love and some romance. This story is about shifters but not in the way that most shifter stories are, this is different in a good way. The shifting and struggle isnt the big part, its love and how to make normal life work. Only one scene is about a person in shifting form and the rest is about shifters in a more normal way, about life. I really love this story in so many ways and this is among the top my favorites in this bundle.
Overall thoughts
This is a good bundle of hot and sexy Shifter Novels and I like almost all of them. Something I dont like about this is that before every novel is a little part, like a preview or summary about whats gonna happen and that destroyed the storeis before reading them so I just stoped reading this spoilers.
This bundle is otherwise perfect if you love romance and shifters. Most of the novels is very good and all of them are well written. I can really recommend this bundle. It is not long books but short novels and that is good if you are busy, Have little time to read or not want to read a big heavy book.

September 9, 2015
WOW what a collection of AMAZING stories by some AMAZING authors.... I have previously read a couple of the books within this boxset, which I LOVED & was also introduced to a few new authors.
Loving the Lion (Mail-Order Mates, book 1)
by Lola Kidd
Lola Kidd is a new author for me, so I started reading 'Loving the Lion' not knowing what to expect... well I LOVED it & have now added ALL of the "Mail-Order Mates" to my TBR.
I loved the notion that one wedding will bring on others & how it was used to help promote a quiet, slightly run down town. I can't wait to read some more of this series to find out what actually happens to the town & weather or not the single shifters can all get mates.
Bound to her Bear (Bear Bluff Can, book 1)
by Harmony Raines
Another new author to me, I went in feet first, I couldn't wait to read my introduction to the work of Harmony Raines. I loved the theme to this story, every good man, has a great women behind him.... In this case it's true, without Drew, Eirik wouldn't have found the selfworth that he was missing at the start. They helped one another overcome what was keeping them in the dark. Also I loved that although they had known each other since they were young, their mate bound didn't materialize right away...
Wild (Devils Point Wolves, book 1)
by Eliza Gayle
I finished reading Wild & was shocked at how quickly I read the book... I was completely enthralled.
Faith drives to the Island that her twin sister Rebel works at, Rebel hasn't called & Faith is worried. But as Faith is about to cross the bridge to the Island she is attacked, getting away very shaken she makes it to the bar her sister is meant to be at. Instead she finds Damien...
Such an action packed read, full of a few twists too.... so much fun to read.
Lone Bear (Bear Mountain, book 1)
by Ruby Shae
OMG what an introduciton to Ruby Shae (another newbie for me), 'Lone Bear' gripped me from start to finish. I was transfixed to this story, filled with longing, action, suspense, heat, intrigue... this story kept me guessing. I enjoyed this book immenseley, the twists & action kept me on the edge of my seat.
Jace (Wolves of the Rising Sun, book 1)
by Kenzie Cox
I have just finished reading Jace's story, I was quickly drawn into the story & was surprised when I'd already finished it.
Skye finds comfort in the Bayou, especially around Jace, having just broken up with her boyfriend she wants to take pictures & relax. But when a storm breaks & Skye finds herself in a cabin with him....
I loved how things progressed between Jace & Skye, it made for an enjoyable short read.... why do these stories have to be so short??
Brindle (Winter Valley Wolves, book 1)
by V. Vaughn
I have just come up for air after reading Brindle's story, so much information going through my head, for such a short read.
Katie is in heat, after running away from her mate Brindle, not long after she was changed, having to get used to being a wolf & then all her confusion. Nothing can satiate Katie when she's in heat, but Brindle makes a surprise visit, knowing his mate is in pain, but also not knowing if he'll be rejected again.....
I really felt for Katie & Brindle's situation, obviously she needs time to come to terms at being a werewolf, but Brindle is nothing but patient... well until near the end.
Loving the Lion (Mail-Order Mates, book 1)

Book 1 Brindle by V Vaughn:
This my be a short, however it is packed with love, heat and emotions. The conflict in this one isn't danger or subterfuge. Here we have two lovers who have to come to terms with their feelings, gowing up and decisions made in the heat of youth.
Book 2 Lone Bear - Ruby Shae
A good short and start to the author's series. Katie has a problem that she hasn't shared with anyone. The one she'd like to share it with is also the man she is lusting after. She knows his secret even though he is not aware of it. She doesn't realize that Gage is just as enamored with her, but his secret keeps him away.
When danger finds her, she seeks him out and he admits his feelings but not his secret. Will he be able to protect her? Will the secret keep them apart. This is a steamy short with likable characters you want to find each other.
Book4 Bound to her Bear - Harmony Raines
Eirik and Drew each have their own reason for resisting the mating call. Of course they want happiness, but for them, they only know the pain involved with having a mate. Each history is different, but with the same result and it isn't happiness. Read to see if they can ignore what was in their past and make their own future. A good read.
Book 5 Jace - Kenzi Cox
A good steamy read. Jace and Skye have wanted each other for three years, but each were involved with others. Now both are free, but is there more to keep them apart? She is a professional photographer and determined to get shots of the local wolf pack. Little does she know that Jace is part of that wolf pack.
When an unexpected storm forces them together they can no longer fight it. But there is more to keep them apart. Secrets and danger. Is she part of the danger or in danger? Old relationships put her loyalty in question.
A good shifter read with strong characters and family ties.
Book 6 Loving the Lion Lola Kid
Great Novella. Erin has given up on dating, men and the whole scene. Until she is approached by LK Brides--Mail Order Mates. These men are serious and want to settle down. What could be wrong with at least one email? Did I mention all the men are shifters?
I received an ARC for an honest review

August 16, 2016
I give this set of 10 books 5 stars but well story number 9 Winning the Werebear gets zero stars cause to many typos, switching between gender and names and so on I couldn't get into this story cause the author was confusing us readers with switching between genders and well I just want to know if story number 9 was a m/m story or what. Once there was uncle Donnie then he got swapped to being uncle Syl and sometimes referred as a she with name Sylvia, the supposed to be uncle/aunt died and the mom showed up and called her son her daughter also the author of story number 9 is in my eyes confusing almost all in this story, sorry to say this but males can't bear children only females can, a m/m couple can only adopt children. I know of a woman who had a gender swap surgery and became a man through surgery but had all her female organs so when she aka he and the wife wanted kids, the transformed man ditched the hormon pills which helped him look like a male and got artifical impregnated to have kids cause he still had ovaries and a womb but since he got a male organ he had a bisection to bear the child, it was big in the news and after the birth this person took the hormon pills again and lived as a male. But the author of this story wasn't telling a gender swap story but a m/m story about a human and a werebear and I would like to suggest that the author read her own book and see what we reader have to deal with. I know the author of story number 9 has written a lot of beautiful books but this story is more like a patched together of unedited partials as a well written story.
The other books are so beautiful and I re-read some like story number 2 others where new so I purchased the other books when those stories were part of a series but I declined to do this with story number 9

4) "Bound to Her Bear" by Harmony Raines: This is the 1st book in the Bears Bluff Clan Series. This is Eirik and Drew's story neither want a mate.
Will their so called fun together relationship be enough?

Jace - Kenzie Cox
Loving the Lion - Lola Kidd
Bound To Her Bear - Harmony Raines
Wild - Eliza Gayle
Lone Bear - Ruby Shae
Brindle - V. Vaughn

This is a multi author box set. Five of the authors are new to me which is one of the reasons I like these kind of box sets. You get to sample all sorts of characters and worlds build from the imagination of talented authors that you not have otherwise learned of. And of course you also get to read new stories fro your favorite authors that you already follow. In this set for me that is Lola Kidd who story is Loving the Lion. A great little story about shifters who find their mate through signing up on a website called Lovely and Kind Brides. I also found Wild - Eliza Gayle to be a really good story and plan to check out more from her along with V. Vaughn author of Brindle . All of the books in this set are either good or really good. I recommend this series to everyone who loves shifter stories.

Review for ALPHAS UNLEASHED
This review is for one of the books in this anthology….Brindle
I received this as a gift for an honest review
In an impulsive moment Katie Winslow lets Brindle Lindholm turn her into a werewolf and his chosen mate. After her first shift she runs away to college, regretting her decision. Now she is going into her heat cycle and Brindle comes to her to help her through it. He has made up his mind that she doesn’t want him and he is going to move on with his life. When Katie finds out she is pregnant, she realizes just how much she loves him and has missed him. When she finally returns home, it is to find out that he is dating someone else. Katie decides not to tell him of her pregnancy and he is livid when he does find out. Are these two ever going to find their way back to each other or will Brindle walk away forever ??

Finally a boxed set with all great books! All of the authors are so talented! These sexy shifter romances are sure to turn up the heat! All of the books grab your attention and hold it through the entire story and captivate you with great characters! Some of the books are the first of a series, but I guarantee that you will want to buy the set after reading the first. I started the set and was not able to put it down until it was finished. The books had the perfect amount of suspense, romance, and steam! The heroines were feisty and fun... the heroes were alphas and sexy! You can bet I will be reading books from all of these authors in the future! Go get your copy now! You won't be disappointed! I received this boxed set in exchange for an honest review.

So far, in this set, I have read Jace by Kenzie Cox. Here is my review for it. This was a great novella. I loved getting such a wonderful story, and amazing characters in a quick read. It wasn't complicated or confusing. The attraction between Skye and Jace is very strong, and I really liked that the two have some history between them. I'm definitely interested in learning more about the rest of the pack, so I can't wait for the next one to come out. Kenzie Cox did a fantastic job in such a short story. It was hot, exciting, and thrilling, and packed just as much punch as a novel.

Plenty of romance, adventure, and action in all the stories, and you will fall in love with the lot of them. A must read box set for anyone who adores hot and sexy alpha shifters! You will fall in love with these series and rush to get the next books.

A wonderful anthology of stories featuring hot alphas and the women who complete them. Each story had it own twists and turns that were thoroughly enjoyable. If you love paranormal romance then this series give you insight into their individual writing styles. I found a few new authors (and of course some I already had on my 'like' list)

Another day - another anthology (will I ever learn?) Overall it was meh : I have read Loving the Lion by Lola Kidd before and wasn't terribly impressed; found Bonded To Her Bear by Harmony Raines a very dull and the rest of the stories were but nothing too memorable.

i will not review each book on it's own, that'd be too much to read. however this is a nice collection of books to introduce to you some good authors. you get your money's worth with this anthology. well worth having and reading!!

This is a great way to read different authors works about shifters. Each was a standalone story line. Even though there are other stories by the authors to read more of that shifter. Will be looking at each author soon.

Alphas so hot they started a series, each one told by an author who puts you in the Alphas world and leaves you ready for the others stories.

Nice mix of authors and stories, for those times when you're in the mood for a little bit of love.
