Lillie’s only got five days to soak in new experiences, and while Vegas is too shiny and loud for her shy bear self, she’s eager to enjoy one last chance to let her hair down. Until his challenge begins, Jim decides to oblige Lillie’s wish for a final fling. Only Lady Luck has some twists of fate planned for them both…

But for Ainsley Connor, the toughest wolf she must face might just be the one inside herself.

Another amazing collection of shifter stories, full of alpha's, wolves, bears.... I can't wait to jump in..... Each story will have a little review.

Called by the Bear, part 1 ( part serial) by V. Vaughn....
Carly has been having dreams about a sexy man, then teeth & fur, & also about this paw print, she just can't get the design right for some reason. Then an encounter with her business partner & ex, has the design finalized & getting inked that same day. No-one else can see her new ink, except for her friend Sierra, who is also having the dreams. Once inked the need & pull to travel & find these dream men is almost instantaneous....
What a trip these girls embark on, then they meet a couple of girls on the way who dream of meeting Carly & Sierra, so they get their own ink done. I can't wait to start book 2 of this serial.

Copper King (Takhini Shifters, #1) by Vivian Arend....
It captivated & kept me guessing until just near the end of the book.
Grizzly shifter Jim, is more at home surrounded by people then he is isolated, his best friend wolf shifter Damon is with him. Every year they set up a dare in the hopes of winning the lucky coin... Lillie has decided to have some fun before her life changes forever, she's in Vegas, much to her bears dislike & has a bucket list to fill before the weeks out...
I loved the variety of shifters in this book, from wolves & bears to pathers & lions, then there was the secret shifter society intertwined with the everyday sites & sounds of Vegas. The steamy scenes, the banter, then the secrets... everything fell into place easily in this sotry.

Curse of the Alpha, parts 1 & 2 (6 part serial) by Tasha Black....
Imagine living in a small town, protected by your parents but not knowing what you truely are.... Imagine learning that your a werewolf after something terrible happens, something that 10 years laters still haunts your dreams.
In Episode 1 of Curse of the Alpha, brings about why Ainsley Connor hasn't returned home to Tarkers Hollow or spoken to her parents for years. But returning home after her parents die in a car crash to clean the estate, she is thrown back into a close nit community & the role of Alpha which means finding her mate. Will Ainsley accept her position or will she pass down the roll??
In Episode 2 of Curse of the Alpha continues off where episode 1 finishes... I don't want to give to much of the plot away. Ainsley feels herself being drawn to 2 different men, werewolf Eric & human Julian. Sparkes fly in either direction, but still Ainsley is undecided.
Tasha kept me intrigued with this installment, I couldn't put it down... Now where is the rest of this series, I need to KNOW what happens!!

Claiming His Fate (Feral Breed Motorcycle Club, #1) by Ellis Reid....

Found: Mate of the Cave Bear (The Dualis, #1) by Harmony Raines....

I love multi-author bundles because I not only get to enjoy some of my favorite authors but I also get to try new authors without breaking the bank and anytime I can save money, it's a win-win in my book! I've already read several of the books in this collection and totally loved them. I haven't finished the entire collection but I've enjoyed every story so far. Some of them I read when they were originally released by each author and loved them so much, I wanted to tell you a little bit about each of the ones I've read. I feel that I must tell you up front, Found: Mate of the Cave Bear by Harmony Raines, Her Two Bears by Catherine Vale, Called by the Bear by V. Vaughn and Curse of the Alpha, Parts One and Two are NOT standalone stories but are the first in a series. Claiming His Fate is also the first release in a series but it does Not end with a cliffhanger. But one thing is for sure, you can't beat the price. You definitely get your money's worth so snuggle in and enjoy!
1) Title: Claiming His Fate ny Ellis Leigh
Great Balls of Fire! Claiming His Fate is the first book in Ellis Leigh's exciting series, Feral Breed Motorcycle Club and it is totally knocked out AWESOME! I loved it! This was my first time reading Ms Leigh's work and I was completely shell-shocked by her amazing talent, incredible imagination and unique, raw style of writing. I am officially a fan! The story is exciting, powerful, compelling, thrilling, addictive, romantic, arousing and sensual. The dialog is raw, gritty, smart and very well written. The characters are imaginative, captivating, fascinating, intriguing and sexy as sin! These characters grab your panties and hold them in a twist! Oh my! I was on the edge of my seat from the very first page until the very last! Wow! What a ride! Sexy Abraham "Rebel" Lynch has been a wolf shifter since he was turned in 1794. For the last 200 years he has struggled for balance between his human side and his inner wolf because a lack of control is a sure-fire death sentence for him at the hands of his brothers, the Feral Breed Motorcycle Club, the protectors of the secret for the wolf shifters of North America. And that certainly would be very bad since he is the President for the Great Lakes Den. They are his family and everything he needs or so he thought - until he lays eyes on human Charlotte aka Cherry at Amnesia Gentlemen's Club- with her beautiful blonde hair, bright green eyes and very luscious curves! She is beautiful and perfect! She is sin and sex - she is his mate! So darn dreamy! Sigh.....But his mate is in grave danger from a psychotic rogue wolf - a man-eater and he must not fail his mate. Charlotte lost her parents in a tragic accident and is struggling to support her blind younger brother. She has no time for relationships. But when she sees handsome Rebel Lynch, she sees hot candied sex on a stick and she wants a lick! She knows he's trouble but her brain doesn't get the memo because she just can't seem to fight the immediate attraction and sexual chemistry she feels for the sexy biker. But she has no idea that Rebel is a wolf! Huh! What the heck? Wolf shifters really exist? But Rebel demands too much too soon from his lovely mate and at what cost? Will he be able to save her? Maybe it's time for Rebel to stop fighting and finally realize that he and his wolf are two halves of the same soul. Can he embrace his wolf and claim his mate? Maybe, just maybe, it's time for Rebel to stop rebelling and stop being "the rebel". A wonderful journey of self discovery and love! Sexy wolf shifters-check! Beautiful smart curvy human heroine-check! Action, adventure and great cast of characters-check! Romance and steamy sex-check and check! Yeah baby! Fantastic entertainment and an awesome read! I can hardly wait for Book Two!

2) Title: Found: Mate of the Cave Bear by Harmony Raines
Found: Mate of the Cave Bear, The Dualis Book One
Oh My! Harmony Raines has done it again! And just what has she done, you ask? She has published an amazing new serial called The Dualis. Yes, I said serial which means multiple books and dare I say it - cliffhangers! Yikes! But don't despair folks! Although the serial does consist of three separate installments, fortunately for us, Raines released all three on the same day! Woohoo - no waiting! I settled in and decided to read all three in one sitting so I'm writing only one review for the entire series and will post it for each book. Never fear, there will be NO spoilers! Harmony Raines has always exhibited exceptional talent and imagination in her writing but in this series, she has far exceeded my expectation of her skill in creating something new, fresh and original that encompasses not one genre, but several. She has skillfully combined paranormal romance with science fiction and fantasy to create a fascinating and intriguing world of the past and future, filled to the brim with action, adventure, suspense, love and hope. The story is original, exciting, suspenseful, thrilling, heartbreaking, heartwarming, sweet, romantic and sensual. These are only a few of the words that came to mind while I was reading this story. The dialogue is clean, smart and flows well. The characters are intriguing, captivating and engaging. This is a romance and does include some sex scenes, however, they don't overpopulate the book. Raines has dared to venture outside the box with this story and I love it! Now, let's talk about the basics of the story itself.
The premise of the story:
It is now the twenty second century and through the use of research and technology, scientists have learned how to manipulate and alter human DNA. For too many years, children have been genetically engineered by doctors and scientists allowing parents to choose eye color, body type and even gender. These developments have contaminated the gene pool and brought evolution to a halt. The world is now in desperate need of new blood, or rather uncontaminated blood from the past with new stem cells.
Now for the plot of the story:
Tworn Corporation has developed a time machine which can create a worm hole enabling a person to travel through the time. It is their intention to send a young woman 30,000 years into the past to find a primitive man, become pregnant with his child and then return through the wormhole by means of a tether, to the future. Her child would be used for the benefit of mankind and become the savior of the world. Huh? No pressure - right? Jenna is chosen to be that woman because she met several vital and important requirements. She has no fillings in her teeth, he's never had any broken bones or surgical procedures and most importantly, she's a virgin meaning she nor her DNA has ever been tainted by a male from her time. She considers herself to be unattractive and unremarkable. Obviously Tworn Corporation agrees and believes there is absolutely nothing to distinguish her as being from the twenty second century. Although some may see this opportunity as a great honor, Jenna is not doing this for recognition nor the advancement of mankind. She's simply doing it for the money. Now don't start thinking badly of Jenna just yet. She wants the money for purely unselfish motives - her mother became terminally ill and as a result, Jenna inherited the astronomical debt for the medical bills after her mother's death. She's from a very poor family and could never live long enough to pay off the debt, so here she is, about to travel back in time. She's given six months of training to prepare her for her journey but Jenna soon suspects there is much more to this mission than Mr. Trimble with Tworn Corporation is telling her but she has no idea what it could be. She begins to have her doubts but fears for her safety if she doesn't complete her mission. But they never prepare her for the entry into the land of the past and I mean that quite literally because she tumbles from the wormhole high above the ground with nothing to help to break her fall. She plummets into a heavily forested area and is seriously injured. She is found by Haran who is a Dualis, a primitive, a "cave bear", who reluctantly and begrudgingly nurses her back to health. This is how Haran refers to himself - a cave bear, a Dualis, meaning of two natures, man and beast. Haran is a primitive bear shifter and lives alone in a cave. After the heartbreaking loss of his parents at a young age, he has chosen to be alone and never take a mate. But Haran soon discovers that fate can never be denied. The attraction he feels for the strange young woman proves to be too strong to resist and he quickly falls in love with the beautiful, curvaceous Masu that falls from the sky. She should be his enemy, not his mate. Huh? He only kills for food but the Masu hunt and kill for the pleasure they draw from cruelty and fear. She is Masu and not to be trusted! Nope, never going to happen - he will resist! He will??? Jenna has no clue that she looks like the Masu, his enemy. Heck, she doesn't even know who they are but one thing she does know, she's incredibly attracted to Haran and she wants him - in her arms and in her bed, or should I say her furs. Jenna now realizes that quite possibly, she may never want to give up her child if she becomes pregnant nor return to her own time! What? Will Jenna survive her injuries? Will she become pregnant? Will she ever return to her time? Can Haran protect her from his enemies? Or will Haran perish in his fight with the Masu? Are there other shifters in this time and if so, where are they and will they help? Oh my! No spoilers here but I will say this......Beautiful, virtuous heroine-check! Sexy, primitive but intelligent bear shifter-check! Large cast of fascinating characters including other types of shifters-check! Oops! Uh-oh! I may have just let a little spoiler slip out! Danger, drama, suspense, action, heinous enemies and evil machinations-check! Heated attraction, sweet romance, heartbreaking angst and some heartwarming, arousing sex-you bet! That and a whole lot more!
Execution of the story:
My personal opinion - Well done! I'm not a science/tech geek so I don't require a detailed scientific or technical explanation on how the time travel was actually accomplished, but I was totally captivated by the true essence and message of this story - love can prevail. Remember folks, this is fiction and fantasy, so keep an open mind. If you want to try something original and a little different yet quite refreshing, then this is the book for you. Deliciously sweet, completely captivating and delightfully entertaining!
My Rating: Five Delightfully Entertaining Stars*****

3) Her Two Bears by Catherine Vale
Wow! I absolutely loved it! Catherine Vale's amazing talent, incredible skill and unique style shine brightly in her latest release, Her Two Bears. Vale never fails to excite, tantalize and entertain her readers while always leaving us satisfied, warm and all fuzzy inside. I love a great paranormal, romantic happily ever after story and Vale is definitely a master at giving her readers just that, in spades! The story is exciting, compelling, romantic, sweet, arousing, sensual and steamy. The dialog is smart and well written. The characters are captivating, engaging, endearing and sexy. Beautiful curvy Sadie is pretty much fed up with the dating scene. She's certainly had more than her fair share of bad encounters and terrible relationships. Her best friend Peyton, seeing Sadie's unhappiness, sets her up on a blind date with not one, but two gorgeous guys - at the same time! Huh? A little unorthodox- maybe - but Sadie decides to go with the flow and live on the wild side, even if it's just for one date. And Sadie doesn't regret it, not for one minute, because her dates, Dane and Jackson, are the two hottest guys she's ever seen! Wowza! Dane and Jackson are both instantly attracted to the sexy Sadie and they want her, badly, and at the same time! What? Yep, they are co-alphas of their clan and they want her as their mate. Now all they have to do is convince her to mate them both --- and tell her that they are both bear shifters! Huh? What the heck? Sparks fly! Attraction builds! Desires burn! Passion ignites! Oh my! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

This Series is AWESOME!
If there is one thing I learned its that Ms. Leigh puts everything she's got in her books. Weather it's a simple kiss or holding hand, to hard core orgasmic sex her words not only put you there or you can feel everything she is saying.
Abraham Lynch, aka Rebel, he's with
The Feral Breed; who are protectors of the secret for wolf shifters in North America.
Rebel was the Alpha and Leader of this group of wolves. They were hunting a wolf that they called a man eater nomad, he was dangerous and was spilling blood.
Charlotte worked as a waitress at a Gentleman's Club only because the money was good though she graduated with a diploma for Computer Information Systems, she had to go where the money was good for her 15 year old, blind brothers sake.
Something happened and they made her dress and go to a party which she never had to do before. As she was serving as a waitress she saw Rebel and a pull she never had before hit her, as he looked at her his wolf screamed MATE!! You really need to read this I left out so much you just got to read it.

COPPER KING VIVIAN AREND: 5 STAR
Fun story. Lily is adorable and big bad grisly shifter, Jim, is totally under her spell.

Ms Arend does a good job of keeping Lilly's secret while tempting s with hints. Jim's venture back into the bedroom and learning to play again is not only hot, but fun to watch.

His friend Damon is one of those loyal with enough mischief to keep everyone laughing and on edge. A new author to me, I will be reading more of her books in the future. This is an recommend with no reservations.


CALLLED BY THE BEAR PART ON V VAUGHN
A great start to the series. Lots of questions and few answers, just kept pulling me in. V. Vaughn is a new author to me and I will be reading more works by her. I had to stop and give a review even though I am starting part four.

The relationship of these two non blood sisters is fun. One far more daring, the other far stronger. They are great for each other and forge into their new adventure.

After reading the first book you will have to keep reading. Excuse me I have to finish the next two books.

CURSE OF THE ALPHA TASHA BLACK
You can't fight your nature forever. Anisley is learning that. She rejected her wolf shifter side and ran away to school, creating a new life in NY. At her parents death, she forced to return. She knew there were many sifters in her small town, but she was young and knew nothing about the life.

Now she is the alpha by heritage and is told she must chose a mate--not only chose but live with forever for the good of the town/pack.

How long can she resist the demands of her heritage and the pull of her packs males, all interested in her alpha side.

Betrayal comes along with danger. How long can she fight her wolf side? We end part two with a revelation that draws the wolf out.

This one is free and the next two double stories are available on Kindle Unlimited. These are worth the price and I am on the read 3 and 4.

have not read them all yet but here is what I have
V .Vaughn called by the bear
Wow what an amazing series this is part 1. it starts with 2 woman setting out to find what is calling them
Basic information: A clan of werebears asked their Sharman to send out a mental call to woman who would become mated to their men in the clan because they are dieing out. Each woman comes to find them and meet the man in their dreams.
This series is written in the first person and changes from character to character. The characters development is outstanding. You either love them or hate them depending on the story lol
Beautiful, touching, sad, and amazing. Like a werebear soap opera but we'll written. Well worth reading, you will not be disappointed.

Tasha Black : Curse of the alpha part 1 & 2
Wow what a great story. The author put so much detail in to building this wonderful story. I literally couldn't put it down

Get ready to be hooked on some amazing shifter series. You will get alpha wolves and sexy bears galore and be ready for a lot more after reading.

Here is a little about some of the firsts in this box set:

Her Two Bears: This book was full of hotness!! Two Hunky were-bears and one curvy woman looking for love, equals a terrific book!

Called by the Bear: This is a wonderfully bold and unique book! I love the beginning of this series, you get so many much needed details in the female characters, and I cannot wait to meet the men! Carly and Sienna are beautiful curvy women, who are going to be meeting their match in some hunky werebear men!

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

Super hot stories in this multi author book! You get Grizzly bears in Vegas, get to learn about the wolves of Tarker Hollow in the first two books of Tasha Black's series, then if that's not enough there's suspenseful happenings in the shifter MC world, then a heroine going back in time to mate with a Neanderthal with dangerous consequences, 2 bears that share more then friendship they wanna share a curvy sexy woman, an to end it off a woman on a mission to find the love she hasn't met ..yet.. they were all definitely great stories, and I'm sure you'll love them as much as I did !

OMG! What a box set! Great stories from great authors. Sexy, hot, and romantic paranormal shifter stories. This set will have you staying up late just to finish them. Called by the bear part one by V. Vaughn is just one of many. Two tattoo artists dream of hot sexy men, get a tattoo of a paw that only the two of them can see, and travel to find them men in thief dreams. They get more than they bargained for.

I was given this e-book by the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. My conclusions are my own. I was not compensated in any way.

I loved the stories that were a complete story, thank you to the authors who had the courtesy to write a whole story!! I will not be buying any books from the authors that left me hanging! If you are a good author you can write a whole novella/story that is complete to entice me to buy more of your books. I resent being left hanging when I paid my money for a book of novellas. To me, leaving me hanging is just a money grab! Kudos to Vivian Arend, Ellis Leigh & Catherine Vale for delivering great stories that have enticed me to get more of your books!

I really enjoyed multi-author anthologies, what better way to find new authors. There are several gerat series including in this one, one by Catherine Vale called Her Two Bears and V. Vaughn's Called to the Bear. Tasha Black has included part 1&2 of her Curse of the Alpha series. All of the stories were very enjoyable and I look forward to reading more in each of the series.

Alpha-paranormal shifter romance

Out of all the stories in this book ( There are 4 )I liked the first story the best with ainsley. It was more of a story than just sex.Very good but I would like to read the rest to see if she kills him.
