Rochelle Paige knows how to write some hot Shifter romance and I am loving this series. The world she creates seems really realistic and she makes the Shifter world totally believable.
Tahlia was a great character and I loved how fierce she was. Her and Braden's story seemed a lot different from the other Shifter books and there was a lot more going on. On one hand I liked that it was different and there were different things happening, but on the other there was just a tad too much going on and it made the book seem a little rushed.
Overall, a good book and the characters, and side characters are great. The ending seemed a little rushed but I was happy with how it finished. I can't wait to read the next one!

Sexy PNR fated-mate novella with a kickass but vulnerable h and hot alpha H who is gone for h at first sight and pursues her. There is a little suspense plot on the side, that spills over to the next book but this book has a HEA so no worries.
Safe romance.
3.75 stars!

Rochelle Paige is just one author who gives me what I want.
Braden stumbled upon his mate Tahlia in a unexpected way but nothing was going to stop him from making her his. I love how these books don't mess around with fighting feelings. The characters know what they want and go after it.
Suspense added that perfect layer of anticipation and mystery. Sexy times just made it hot and sweet . I loved every moment.

Bear It All by Rochelle Paige is the second installment of the McMahon Clan Series, a spinoff to the Black River Pack Series. In Bear It All, Ms. Paige writes a shifter paranormal romance that involves what else but a bear. The McMahon clan consist of a papa bear and a triplet of brothers. Braden happens to be the middle child and has been on the hunt for the person responsible for wanting to kidnap his half-sister and niece. What Braden didn't expect was that his hunt would lead him to his mate, a lioness named Thalia Griffin.
The Shifter Council has asked Thalia for a favor. And this favor involves putting her skills and assets to use. Well as it turns out, her years of dancing paid off when she was asked to work at the Honey Pot as a stripper. Her job required her to put her keen sense, observation, and feline temptation to use as she lures out the person responsible for the kidnapping plot. What Thalia didn't expect was Braden McMahon. When Braden laid his eyes on Thalia, it was over. Thalia knew she was done for it. Her mate found her. The sparks and connections was already forming. And soon Braden makes it known, that no one will be seeing his gorgeous mate's naked body any longer. A few days into getting to know what makes his mate's purr, will Thalia be distracted from her mission as Braden bears it all?
As always, Ms. Paige delivers a fun sexy suspenseful read!!! This quick read will make you purr and growl in satisfaction as a bear and lioness bare it all to each other. So if you love those possessive alpha males with a heart of gold, then I would recommend you to read Bare It All. I can't wait what Rochelle has in store for the last remaining McMahon brother.

"Don't issue a challenge unless you want me to take you up on it, honey."
I love Rochelle Paige's shifter series because sometimes you just really want a fun and exciting read that gets you a bit worked up. Bear It All is a fast paced novella full of mystery, streamy scenes and yet another alpha man that I got to fall in love with.
'Her strength was hot as hell, made even more so by the fact that I'd be the man who got to see her softer side."
Lioness Tahlia is a different kind of shifter female than we are used to for several reasons, first off as an agent for the council she has a dangerous job and is well armed. She doesn't need anyone to protect her and is not about to let anyone (including Brayden) come in and make decisions for her. Secondly her lion pride operates very very differently than the shifter pacts and clans we are used to. Often the they couple without mating and even after mating the men stray, spreading their seed growing the pride. For this reason, seeing Brayden and realizing he was her mate takes her by complete surprise not to mention the intensity of feelings that come with that.
Brayden never expected to walk into one of his families strip clubs and find his mate . . . up on the stag. But that is exactly what happens. LOL. Much like the alpha shifters before him he acts first and ask questions second. Brayden is all kinds of sexy and in control and I loved him. He knew his mate from the moment he saw her and he even when he finds out more about who she is he doesn't try and change her or make her weaker.
'We barely knew each other but I felt more connected to Braden than I ever had to anyone in my life. Nothing I heard about mating had prepared me for the way he made me feel.'
Fans of insta-love, strong women, suspenseful story lines and a deep family bond will not want to miss Bear It All by Rochelle Paige. I love her quick reads, I am always excited to squeeze one in between longer books. Easy to read in one sitting, don't miss out and one click today!

Tahlia and Braden have the best story of the series (so far).
Don’t get me wrong, Braden is still very possessive, yet he trusted Thalia to do what she had to do. That goes a long way.
Thalia was badass, but she was quick to be open and vulnerable with Braden. She didn’t have to sacrifice her personality to do it either.
It seems like there’s another (or will be another) book that Thalia was (will be?) in—focused on Damien the dragon shifter. The inclusion of his story did leave a missing piece in her backstory, so my interest is piqued.
Although the villains are one-dimensional and not-at-all threatening, it works well in this series. The bad guys will always lose and the good guys will always win—without much fuss.
I am enjoying the expansion of lore. It looks like the next book will feature witches, which (ha) is always fun.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Braden’s arrival at the string of strip clubs he and his family own has him on edge. A hurried phone call from his father finds both of them there to gain intel on a possible lead regarding the threat to Annora.
What he didn’t except sitting in the VIP section watching the next dancer to take to the stage was finally seeing his mate about to take her clothes off.
Tahlia has been an agent for the council for the past five years. This assignment has been so far out of her comfort zone she’s been struggling but if the information she received is correct hopefully it will be over soon.
When she spots Braden in the VIP section her lioness pushes forward, she wants out. But Tahlia pushes her back they can’t be distracted by the sexy stranger, there’s a lot riding on this mission.
But once On that stage it’s pretty much out of her hands when Braden’s roar echoes through the club. Him jumping up on stage and throwing her over his shoulder and whisking her away seals it.
What he’s not expecting though is the badass that’s his mate. If they want to complete the mission the're going to have to put a hold on the actual mating. But that doesn’t mean Braden can’t mark her in other ways.
Loved the banter between these two and the sexual chemistry was off the freaking charts. The storyline and the continuity was spot on. You felt engaged from page. A must read for the lovers of the Shifter genre or for anyone who loves a damn good romance read.
It packs a punch. ❤️

ARC REVIEW
Rochelle Paige paranormals are some of my favorites. Bear it All is book two of the McMahon Clan series a spin off of The Black River Pack series. I highly recommend these. They are absorbing, they pull me in. The narrative is first person POV from both Tahlia and Braden and done in such a way it feels like they really are sharing their story with you. The prologue is a great reminder of what has happened and introduction and a brief get to know you for Tahlia.
Tahlia is a lion shifter and from a young age her mother has been training her in just about everything. She gets so good that she catches the eye of the Shifter Council and is asked be an enforcer. She is good at what she does and she earns the respect of the Council members. When Councilmen McMahon needs the help of someone on the outside of his clan he asks Tahlia. Tahlia almost said no but when she heard why she couldn't refuse, only this case is lasting a whole lot longer than any of them thought and being a stripper is not Tahlia's idea of an ideal job. Finally after three months she has some useful information.
Braden has been working almost nonstop with his father trying to track down the people behind the attempted murder of Braden's sister and attempted kidnapping of his niece. So far none of the leads has panned out until his father calls him up and explains he has a person on the inside. He has placed someone at one of the Honey Pot locations to see if they can hear anything. Braden never expected to suddenly find his mate on stage taking her clothes off, even worse is that she is the inside informant his father placed there and that he almost blew her cover.
Tahlia knows that one of her "fans" has been asking specific questions about the McMahon clan, she figures he must have some knowledge. She also know that he is going to come in on her next day to see her. So now they have three days to set up a way to trap him and get the information needed. That's three days Braden and Tahlia have to get to know each other, but they can't claim each other as mates yet, because if this "fan" is a shifter then he would be able to tell immediately. But just because they can't claim each other doesn't mean they will keep their hands off each other.
Overall this was a great book, it was hot and exciting. I have loved all of them.

I can’t get enough of Rochelle Paige’s shifter series; they’re fast paced, sexy, suspenseful, and they always illustrate the significance of finding one’s mate and the effects the mating has on the couples’ lives.
Bear It All is the perfect name for Braden and Thalia’s story. Thalia may bare her skin for her undercover mission as a stripper, but the true meaning of the title signifies both Braden and Thalia’s need to give themselves over to one another without compromising Thalia’s plan to take down the people responsible for the kidnapping attempt of Braden’s sister and niece as well as soothe the beast inside Braden - the one that wants to claim his mate and protect her from danger, baring his possessiveness of his lioness.
The instant connection between Braden and Thalia proves how strong the pull is once they sense their true mate and the way they possess each other between the sheets also demonstrates that fate did well by putting them together. And while Braden and Thalia’s mating goes a lot quicker than some of the other couples from both of Paige’s paranormal series, there’s still obstacles for them to overcome and a give and take perspective to understand because Thalia has been a fiercely independent lioness, working undercover for the past five years, and she can’t easily bow down to her mate or simply give in to what he demands because she’s been raised to take care of and defend herself, so while she wants to claim Braden as her mate, she also wants to ensure that he sees her as a strong and determined woman all on her own.
There’s one McMahon brother left, so it will be interesting to see how Paige leads him to his mate and what external factors will attempt to stand in his way.

Rosalie's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
Braden McMahon never thought he was going to have a mate. And he SURELY didn’t expect to see what was to be his mate dancing on stage at one of his family’s many clubs, The Honey Pot. But love can pop up in any place, and Braden knows he has to have the gorgeous woman onstage, at all costs.
Tahlia Griffen is propositioned by the council to help get on the inside and find out information on whoever tried to kidnap Braden’s sister (Annora) and niece (Kyla). The best way for this lioness to do this is to use her best talents and assets…stripping. Landing at The Honey Pot, and coming face to face with Braden, not only shows the two their mates, but it takes them through a journey of self journeys of having to realize that it’s ok to lean on your other half for support: you don’t always have to do it all yourself.
The relationship between these two is most realistic, to me, out of all the shifter relationships I’ve read about in the series. Seeing two that have to go through the give and take of getting to know each other, helped me love this series even more (if that was possible!). As always, Ms. Paige knows how to light up the pages with this one and leave the readers fanning! The chemistry between these two? Let’s just say that a lion and bear know how to warm it up and keep those flames going!!

Tahlia isn't a damsel in distress type of girl. She's fiercely independent and can fend for herself so when she takes a job playing a stripper undercover, Braden's eyes land on her and will do anything to protect her. Initially, Braden was focused on his personal task, but now Tahlia is all he can see. But Tahlia doesn't need Braden storming into her life, claiming to be her fated mate. She'd rather ignore their undeniable chemistry so she can complete her mission. Too bad over Braden's dead body is he letting her get away anywhere without him or letting her ignore him. His strong personality was hard for Tahlia to escape but part of her liked that dominance. I really liked Braden's alpha side and Tahlia's initial resistance. They make a great pair together and as a team, are unstoppable.

Braden and Talia. Braden's sister and niece are still being threatened by her stepdad. So his father brings in outside help (agent Talia), to go undercover at one of their strip clubs. When Braden first meets Talia, he makes the mistake of thinking she is just a dancer.
Overall the story was pretty meh. Doesn't have the angst of the first book and the only part I found interesting was who was helping the villain and how that all played out. I kinda like it when good guys don't get all soft on crime at the end. I guess I'm a little blood thirsty ; )
I did like that Talia's character was never undermined as a bad-ass covert agent. I mean she didn't need to be rescued.

This is the second book in the McMahon Clan series. The last thing Tahlia Griffen wanted to be was a stripper. But when the shifter council asks for a favor, stripping is the best way to get the job done. Only she ends up finding more than just bad guys on this mission.
Braden McMahon never expected to find his fated mate on stage at the Honey Pot. Now that he did, his bear is pushing hard to lay claim. And no one can see her naked. Ever.
Will Braden be able to stand by and let Tahlia do her job, even if it means she needs to bear it all?

I loved it!!! Braden and Thalia's story is great! Their first meeting knocks Braden flat on his back and the intensity just builds from there. Braden is a stubborn bear shifter who wants more than anything to protect the ones he loves. Thalia's is a fierce lioness who is a total bada$$ that can take care of herself. Put them together and it's awesome. The book is short but emotionally jammed packed. Great read

Another great adventure with our favorite triplet bears!!
Now it is Braden's turn. He finds a little spit fire kitty!! Just as we would expect from Mz. Paige, there is action and adventure all wrapped in a neat little package.
Who knew you could pack so much mating heat in a novella!! Rochelle rocked this one just like she has the rest. A really great shifter read.

Yowza!! I have to say, these shifter books from Rochelle get hotter and hotter!!!
Tahlia is definitely my FAVORITE of all the heroines we've met in this series so far! Strong, sexy and she literally kicks ass! I love it! Great continuation for a wonderful series!

I really hoped that Carrick would be reunited with Annora's mother....
Braden was such a lover boy... so caring and super hot! Clearly he learned from Alasdair's mistakes. Hopefully Camden does even better. :)

Least favorite of the series. It felt thrown together. We didn't get much about the heroine or hero at all.
What we're there past relationships like? What are they like as individuals? What will they do now? How do their family feel about them?
These books are already overpriced for their size but this was the first one I felt was a waste.

Bear it All continues the story of the McMahon brothers and their journies to find their mates. Braden has stumbled upon his mate in an unexpected way, and the excitement is far from over.
Summary:
Braden McMahon is no stranger to strip clubs. He practically grew up around them, since his family owns a string of very successful ones. So imagine his surprise at recognizing his fated mate, dancing on stage at the Honey Pot. From the moment he lays eyes on her, his bear pushes to claim what is rightfully theirs, and keep everyone's eyes but his own, off his little mate. But Thalia isn’t just any dancer. Thalia Griffen never aspired to be a stripper. With her skills and training, though, she’s the only one that can get the job done when a shifter councilman asks a favor. From the beginning, she understands that this assignment is different from any others she’s done. She never expected her life to change so drastically by finding her mate. Despite them both feeling an irresistible pull, danger surrounds the McMahon family and that has to be the priority. The only question is, can Braden stand by and watch Thalia bare it all to complete her mission?
This installment in the series seemed different than RP’s previous shifter romances. It was still a hot, steamy read, but there was a lot going on. I mostly liked that. It moved the story along and acted as an obstacle for our hero and heroine. Thalia was a strong heroine. She was smart, beautiful, independent, strong, confident, and well-trained. I liked that she was a council agent. It wasn’t something a lot of women did. Braden was strong, loyal, protective, possessive, and hot. I liked seeing that he could control his base instincts to give his mate what she needed and to protect his family. Together they were hot, but I also felt their together time was a bit rushed. Overall, it was perfect for a short, steamy, shifter read. It gave us a glimpse into how Alisdair and Finley are doing, and set up nicely for book three, Camden’s story. I cannot wait to read on, and I definitely can’t wait to get Carrick’s story, too. <3

The second book in the McMahon series is good. It is about Braden and Thalia . Braden is trying to find out who is trying to steal his niece and harm his sister. He runs into his mate at their strip club that the family owns in a neighboring town. Thalia is a “stripper” but there is more to her –she is undercover also trying to find out who is trying to hurt Braden’s family. The mate heat came on them suddenly when they met …there are shocks and when refused to let him claim her until her job was done, well the bear didn’t like that.
Thalia is a strong lion shifter and she is independent –yet when it comes to her mate, she wants to let go to a point for him. Braden has done nothing but work , work, work, for his father for months trying to see who it is trying to harm his family yet when he sees his mate , he needs her so bad yet he is being told to let her finish her job , his mate included and its killing him to do so. What will it take for these two strong, independent people to comprise? Will they be able to do or will they not be able to and the mating not take place…Will the people trying to hurt Braden’s family do so…
I liked this story but it wasn’t as strong as the previous book 1. The passion and the chemistry was there between the two and oh it was so hot. I think it was just focused are Thalia’s job and not where the two MCs had time together away from the job. Also not enough information about them to know how they are doing after the story ended, like an epilogue. Overall.it is a good story, just not as strong as first book but I would still recommend reading this story
My rating: 4.4 stars ****

**I received a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.**
Bear It All is book 2 in the McMahon Clan series. It picks up right after Bear The Consequences left off at. The book is about Braden and his mate. Braden is not searching for a mate, he seems to be searching more for sleep. As with the previous book, he is trying to find those connected in the kidnapping attempt of his sister and niece. Braden's search leads him face to face with his mate, Tahlia. With Braden, you want to dislike him because of the way he treated his brother's mate in the previous book. You understand why he acted that way and he totally redeems himself in this book.
I liked Tahlia. She is a no holds barred female. She can protect herself and doesn't really need a man to do it for her. At the same time she shows that she is he perfect mate for Braden. Tahlia a a vulnerability about her when it comes to her fear of mating. She doesn't want it to be like how it is in her Pride. She wants her mate to only be with her and that's what makes Braden perfect for her.
Even though this is a fast read, the steamy factor is still there. I love the scenes between Braden and Tahlia. There banter back and forth is like a weird foreplay. It helps make for an entertaining read.
The author did a great job with this book. Even though the book is short, she was still able to pack a punch with it. I enjoy this series and i can't wait to read more from this author.

Bear It All - Book 2 - 4 Kitty’s got Claws Stars
So now we have resolved Alistair and Finley, it’s on to Braden. I loved this little tale, probably because Tahlia is such a kick ass female character. She’s been raised without a father and with such a strong female role model in her mother. From an early age, her mother has trained her to be a strong fighter, which led to her current position on the council.
Now she’s undercover, working in one of Carrick’s places as a stripper, whilst they try to trace the people who tried to kidnap the triplet’s stepsister. To say that Braden is less than impressed when he sees his mate stripping would be an understatement, as the funny scene at discovery will attest.
It was nice to see a bit of a backbone from a female against the Alpha males in this series as most of them appear to lose all available brain cells at the sight of their mate. Oh he still managed to reduce Tahlia to a puddle in the bedroom but outside of it, she managed to remember who she was before Braden arrived. These two seemed to have a lot more of a balanced relationship and bounced nicely off each other. We get a little bit closer to the final resolution around the kidnappers and have the nice lead dropped on us at the very end to lead nicely into……

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC but that does not colour my review in any way.
Tahlia is a lioness shifter and has been called up by the Shifter Council to work as an agent. This particular job is her working as a stripper in a nightclub, hoping she can get the information the council needs.
Braden is a bear shifter and works on the council with his dad and brothers. When his dad call for him to go with him to get information from one of their agents he doesn't expect to find his mate.
This story moves so fast you don't have time to draw breath. Our heroine is a great character. A real feisty woman, who doesn't put up with anyone pushing her about. Our hero has a real problem using his big head brain instead of the one in his little head. His bear keeps him very on edge.
A good fun read.

We met Alasdair McMahon in book 1, as one of the McMahon brothers. Yes, there were three of them! Bear It All is Braden McMahon and Tahlia Griffen’s story. Tahlia works undercover in one of the clubs for Braden’s dad, but she’s got more going for her than being a stripper. What she doesn’t expect is that Braden will show up and be her fated mate. Here’s where the tangle comes in, but I’m not sharing any spoilers.
Rochelle Paige has a unique way of writing paranormal. She gives us sassy characters who stand their ground, a family unit, and hot, instant attraction. Also, in these short reads we get a complete story right along with angst and romance. Oh, and the pages are smoking with Braden and Tahlia.
This is the perfect spicy read for your weekend. Great follow up to Bear the Consequences, and a great addition to Rochelle Paige’s paranormal stories.

Given an ARC for an honest review! Braden never saw Tahlia coming and she knocks him backwards. Tahlia is one of the best female characters. She is strong, fierce, smart and so full of sass. I loved how she was a woman that stood her ground. Braden is a man that you can fall for without a glance. You could tell that he has many alpha characteristics. He is stubborn, sexy as sin and protective. Rochelle Paige took me on a journey that is amazing, full of heat, fiery characters and suspense! I enjoyed reading this fast paced book. I devoured it within a couple of hours. Rochelle Paige pulled me in and kept me in the book the entire time. I have to say Tahlia is my favorite female character. She is just bad a$$. Love, Love, Love this series!!!!

WOW!!! I love this book! Just what I expected, Ms. Rochelle nailed it again! This book is Braden's story. What I love about this book is that the heroine, Tahlia, is a bad-ass! She's awesome and can definitely kick ass! Loved it! I'm excited for the next book!

Great installment to the series! Fast read with some action & a powerful love story for Braden & Tahlia. : )
