Alana Hart - Saving Her Bear (The Bears of Blackrock #1)
Never go home again!
That's what Mom said - and stay away from that Fenn boy!
How could Catherine Calhoun listen when that 'Fenn boy' has haunted her mind - and heart - for ten years? When Catherine finds herself in trouble, it's not the town of Blackrock or the family she left behind so long ago that calls her back.
It's him. It's that Fenn boy. The boy whose kisses are her happiest memory.
Yet, John Fenn has secrets - the kind that come with sharp claws and teeth.
Even a bit of fur couldn't lessen the magic of his kisses, but there is darkness in Blackrock - the very thing that once tore her away from her true love. Will her return be enough to save John from becoming that darkness' next victim?
Julia Leijon - Grizzly Guardian
Still reeling from her sister's murder, Merryl retreats to Oregon with her nephew Sam. Building a new life for the pair of them is almost enough to distract her from her grief, especially when she faces the problem of how to help Sam learn what it is to be a bear shifter. With nowhere else to turn and no idea what to do, Merryl turns to her impossibly sexy and unattainable crush, Daniel.
Daniel just wants to enjoy small town life after a violent past, but if anyone can see through his gruff facade and battle scars, it's Merryl. Helping Sam discover the cub side of his nature helps Daniel rediscover what it means to connect with those around him. For the sake of Merryl and Sam, Daniel will even return to his harrowing FBI work to help solve the murder and find them some peace.
Despite a strong mutual attraction between them, a major obstacle blocks their way, and it's one that Daniel can never let Merryl know about: while his human side wants to support her as a friend while she puts her life back together, the bear in him knows with absolute certainty that he has found his fated mate.
Knowing how many emotional burdens Merryl is already coping with, Daniel carries this heavy secret alone. But can Merryl convince him that she's tougher than he thinks, and can make her own choices? After each enduring so much cruelty and hardship at the hands of an unkind world, are the two of them still capable of love and trust?
Liv Brywood - Midwinter Night's Alpha (Sexy BBW Pagan Holidays #6)
His wickedly sexy tongue explored every inch of her trembling lips.
Katelyn knows that returning to West Yellowstone for this year's centennial Yule celebration is probably a huge mistake. But after being gone for five years, she misses her old coven. It should be easy enough to avoid her ex-boyfriend, Devin. After all, werewolves usually hibernate during the winter.
So when the BBW witch runs into him not five minutes after getting into town, she's convinced she's cursed. She knows better than to trust his rugged good looks and washboard abs. His silver-tipped tongue has ruined her life once before, and she refuses to make the same mistake twice... even if he does look hotter than a gushing geyser.
Emma Alisyn - Alphonso's Baby (Clan Conroy Brides #2)
Bear shifter Alphonso shunned his mate to protect her from his dark past... but when he discovers her six month old baby is his, will he take the risk in order to raise their child?
Always looking over his shoulder for enemies, Alphonso pushed curvy Tamar away after their one, blazing hot night together. "I'm not relationship material, Tam. Don't get stars in your eyes." Only that one night resulted in a secret child, a beautiful baby girl Tamar has been hiding in plain sight for six months. Waiting patiently for him to see the goshdarnit light already. When he discovers her deception, Alphonso knows he has a choice to make. Continue to allow his past to dictate his future, or take a chance on true love and family?
Tamar isn't certain her childhood love Al will ever see reason- she knows he did some bad stuff. Especially when that bad stuff shows up in the form of a curvy, exotic ex-girlfriend looking for protection. Tamar isn't going to roll over and play dead, though. She's Head Sow in these parts and no one - not the mysterious beauty, not her father's disapproval, and certainl...

Says 9 books on cover but only 7 inside. On goodreads it has 5 extra authors showing so not sure what is going on. Review covers the books in my box set.
Not the best box set I have read.
JULIA LEIJON & CALLISTA BALL - GRIZZLY GUARDIAN
New author.
Liked the story but lacking information for me and ended too abruptly. Have the feeling there should have been more.
Who was Sams dad? The leap between Merryl and Daniel from friends to more was so sharp I got whiplash.
TERRA WOLF - LEAPING THROUGH TIME.
Okay and enjoyable enough. Doesn’t make me want to rush out and read the others though.
TINA TALON - BIG BAD WOLF
OMG What a douch Josh was and totally unbalanced. He may be mesmerising women somehow but without full consent it felt like rape to me. Couldn’t get past his ego or attitude.
Sorry I wasted my time reading this.
CHRISTY RIVERS – REAL MEN ARE BEARS
Not that bad but not great either. Heroine is an alcoholic, hero was nice but had to deal with her dithering.
TESSA THORN - DATING THE BILLIONAIRE DRAGON
Easy and enjoyable read.
ERICA SUMMERS – DARK MAGE’S GIRLFRIEND
Quite a good read and better than I expected.
KIT FAWKES – PLAYING WITH FIRE
Okay but didn’t grab me

Polishing needed
The stories are inventive; but don’t appear to have been proofread by a human. Necessary words are omitted, or the words almost sound like the intended word like borrowed instead of burrowed. This happened often and in every story. It almost looks like sabotage

Fast paced
Each story was different. They were all fast novellas to me because to me all short. Great reads about love and finding your one.

Note that I got this collection in return for an honest review.
I will review each story separately with a comment about the collection as a whole at the end.
1/ Saving Her Bear by Alana Hart and Michaela Wright
I’m in two minds about this story. Don’t get me wrong the writing and characterizations are very good. One of my doubts revolves around the first time the two characters make love. He asks her to let him hunt her. Whilst it was consensual adults it just smacked too much like being a rape. I’m sorry but being a victim of a rape attack I am very sensitive. At that point I nearly stopped reading the rest but I struggled on. The other main doubt about this story is the violence and neglect of a son against his elderly father. To review this story purely on the writing and characterisation it would merit a 5 but on my enjoyment it only merits a 2 which is a shame since I normally like stories by these two authors.
2/ Grizzly Guardian by Julia Leijon and Callista Ball
I did like this story, again it was well written and good characters. My only problem with it is the ending. It wasn’t a full cliff hanger but you are left wondering if there’s supposed to be more.
3/ Midwinter Night’s Alpha by Liv Brywood
I liked this story which is an uncomplicated HEA love story. I don’t mean that there were no difficulties the main characters had to surmount, but that there were no doubts like the previous two stories.
4/ Alphonso’s Baby by Emma Alisyn
I love this story. It’s actually the second time that I’ve read it which should show how much I like it. This is a romance with a HEA, no real problems and characters that you can empathize with, even though some are shifters. This story alone merits 5 stars.
5/ Leaping Through Time by Terra Wolf
I’ve read several of Terra’s stories, some of which I have liked more than others. Whilst this had the potential to be very good it didn’t really deliver. There was too much packed into a too short story.
6/ Bad Boy Wolf by Tina Talon
This is a reasonably good story but the characters don’t really feel 3 dimensional. The male character is an a**e for most of the time and a male w***e. It’s a story with sex for the sake of sex. This is certainly not the best story in the collection so far.
7/ Real Men Are Bears by Christy Rivers
This is a story that I really enjoyed. I liked the characters, the storyline was a new one to me. OK, it’s still the boy meets girl, fall in love and have a HEA, but certain elements, like what a light weight in the stamina area he was, is definitely new. At last a man who can’t last long enough to give her a dozen orgasms. So much more realistic.
8/ Alpha’s Soulmate by Kellan Larkin
I liked this story and would give it 5 stars. It’s a good storyline with characters you can like, for the most part. What I especially liked about it is that it included a male being the victim of workplace sexual harassment. Many believe that it is only females who are victims of this crime. Fair play to Kellan for showing that this is not always the case.
9/ Dating The Billionaire Dragon by Tessa Thorn
I liked this one. A nice HEA, just long enough to read during a break or commuter trip. Whilst there is quite a lot of sex it is in line with the story and not gratuitous.
10/ Beared To Him by J S Wilder
This is a reasonably good story. I must admit it’s not the best that I have read but certainly not the worst. At the end of this story I actually felt more for the ‘baddy’ than I did for the ‘hero’. Maybe the author will give him, ‘Trent’, his own HEA.
11/ The Dark Mage’s Girlfriend by Erica Summers
Sorry but this story feels as though it was written by a teenager for other teenagers. One who has no real grip on spelling or grammar. I can’t say that I enjoyed it much.
12/ Playing With Fire by Kit Fawkes
I liked this story and can totally empathize with the lead female regarding the need to teach the twerp who hurt her sister once again. It would be interesting if this became a series with the main leads acting together to keep the balance correct.
This collection is the opposite way around to most that I have read where only 1 or 2 let the collection down. On this occasion there were only a few that I really liked. This is the reason why I have given it 3 stars. This is a shame for the good stories that are in the collection.

Saving Her Bear by Alana Hart and Michaela Wright
It's just awesome. I give it 4.5 stars!
Wow! Awesome quick read. I read an amazing tale about love and second chances.
Our heroine is back in Blackrock town. Catherine Calhoun is finally coming back home to the family and boy (John Fenn) she left behind over ten years ago. She severely needs a change of scenery.
Catherine and John formed a connection years ago. John Fenn's family and other people have secrets. Will their secrets be more than she can bear?
While reading the book, I was eagerly hanging on trying to find out what would happen next. I was blown away by this well plotted out story. It is well paced, the setting was realistic, and it has descriptive details. I could imagine Catherine seeing John's bear for the first time or her having a confrontation with John's grandpa.

This is a great set for those looking for some shifter romances with heart. I really enjoy these collections for providing lots of great stories at a very reasonable price. You get to discover some new favorite authors too. Each story is a stand-alone. I have a brief summary of each story below:
Saving Her Bear by Alana Hart and Michaela Wright is about a second chance at love for a shifter who couldn't reveal the truth years ago and now has a chance to win the love of the woman he has never forgotten. I really enjoyed it.
Grizzly Guardian by Julia Leijon and Callista Ball is about a woman looking to provide the love and support her orphaned nephew need so he can learn about his heritage. I enjoyed this sweet story of sacrifice and love.
Midwinter Night's Alpha by Liv Brywood is another story about a possible second chance for mates that were driven apart. I really like these second chance stories.
Alphonso's Baby by Emma Alisyn has a big mystery to solve. It is intriguing.
Leaping Through Time by Terra Wolf is about a shifter looking for his true love. I enjoyed the story of magic and time travel.
Bad Boy Wolf by Tina Talon is about a man who will need to change his ways to get the woman he wants. It is a very sexy read.
Real Men Are Bears by Christy Rivers is about two people hurting who find comfort in one another. They have to work to trust again.
Alpha's Soulmate by Kellan Larkin is a M/M story about a shifter finding someone who makes him think differently about the past and the future
Dating The Billionaire Dragon by Tessa Thorn is a story about love rising to combat prejudice when a town turns against the woman who has fallen in love with a shifter. It reflects the prejudices we see today against some groups.
Beared To Him by J. S. Wilder is about a woman who has made a new life for herself until the past comes back to haunt her. He thought it was the right thing but now things have changed for them both. It is a good story
The Dark Mage's Girlfriend by Erica Summers is about magic and demons and keeps you guessing
Playing with Fire by Kit Fawkes is about a witch who made a mistake and gets the help she needs to fix it.

What a fantastic mix of shifters, magic and mayhem! Some are Standalone stories, but not all of them are. Some I found out are a first in a series. Whichever one you read you'll be sure to enjoy the writing, the plots, storylines and more! There wasn't any book here that I didn't like, some i wish were a little longer, I'm giving this an overall of 4 stars.

Excellent Anthology. Highly recommend this book. Loved the story by Emma Alisyn "Alphonso's Baby. It was such an enjoyable book. So funny in parts, but danger stalks Tamar and Al. They are a well matched pair. Will definitely be chasing the other books by this author. "Grizzly Guardian" by Julia Leijon & Callista Ball was also a sweet read. Merryl is so caring and Daniel he is such a sweet bear of a man. Kit Fawkes "Playing With Fire", "Midwinter Night's Alpha" by Liv Brywood to name a few of the authors. There is something for everyone in this box set. Thank you so much to J M Klaire for this review copy it was wonderful.

Can only say - bad, just really bad.
Could only get through about 5 of the stories and that was skimming. So boring, many with very slim plots. Definitely a lot of erotica, which usually doesn't bother me as long as there is some type of substance to the book - engaging characters, action, suspense. None of that was in the books. It was just not my thing. Ugh, Ick. That's it.

I love these series of books
I loved reading all nine of the books. They were all a very good stories of finding your love, family, friends. I was trying to decide which one was my favorite one to read but decided that they were all some of my favorites. Please try this book for yourself.

Almost liked it all.
To me all stories were great with one exception, I cannot appreciate gay stories. After the first three pages I gave up on it. The rest of the stories I can fully recommend for enjoyment, fun, love and great writing and characters.

I like most of the stories. Some were a little too tame for my taste, but overall it was a good collection.

Cute
Got a couple of new authors to try out. Stories were fun to read. Not to short. Long enough to get a sense of style of each author. Enjoy!
