The last time he saw her he promised to spank her curvy derriere. This time, he may do a lot more than that!
Curvalicious Natalya thought she’d never have to grow up. And then she met Lézare. The man who makes her want to be the woman she’s never been. Except his family hates her, and as far as she knows, he does to. So the only option she has is to go to the Shifter Masquerade Ball in disguise.
Lézare desires Natalya. There’s something about this spunky, sassy, mouthy, pouty curvy girl.
Insatiable
Alexa’s the alpha sister of Lézare. She’s got to worry about the Arceneaux Masquerade Ball because her brother’s gone gallivanting to Austin.
Except this once, she’d like to concentrate on her own pursuits.
Namely one.
Reese.
Reese Nielsen is an alpha wolf with a territory of his own to worry about. And that whole damned underground fighting ring. He’s got information on it, but with Lézare MIA, Rory waits until the time is right.
Except his heart and his tiger have an agenda of their own: the curvy and hot sister of Lézare, a white tigress with a mind of her own, and a temper to boot.
Things heat up in the midst of a Masquerade Ball.
Combustible
Some histories should stay buried. Some are too combustible!
One glance. That’s all it took. Wolf shifter Rory Nielsen, Reese’s twin brother doesn’t get involved in affairs of the heart. He’s all business.
So why is he at the Arceneaux home? He’s attending the Masquerade Ball, but itching to get home. The only thing on his mind is getting back.
—Until a car pulls up and curvy redhead Valencia steps out. They have a history, one that should stay buried!
Undeniable
Lion shifter Mason Martinez has history with Evangeline, the curvy sexy tigress sister of Lézare Arceneaux.
For Mason, it’s not history. Except that Evie hates him. She’s hated him since college, when they split up.
Evie has no problem burying things—usually. So why can’t she bury her feelings for Mason Martinez?
Permanently.
Now the two of them are missing. Find out what happens when an Arceneaux goes missing!

Surprising things happen!
I'm not sure what i expected with this series of books, but I'm glad I read them. Unusual kick to them with a different scenario. I read when I'm at a standstill with my job, like waiting on towels to dry, and I had a hard time putting this one down. Highly recommend!

Storline flows & is Intense
I love how this author has such depth in all of her characters. I also enjoy all of the plot twists and turns. She also leaves tons of breadcrumbs for more stories to come. Can't wait to read the next book in this series.

A weekend at Arceneaux Point has 3 sisters and a brother falling head over hearts for mates they didn't even know they were looking for
Four story's all different lots of twists lots of secrets it was supposed to be a fun weekend but it was far from fun and too close to be nearly fatal for some. Lezare alpha brother to 3 sisters gets a call that sets him off chasing Natalya a changed Natalya from the last time they met. It led him to meeting a long lost family member Ms Claudette who he brings back home. Alex has to shoulder the responsibility for making sure the party goes well meets Reece twin wolf to Rory, the passion soon flares the coupling happened and suddenly love blooms, that is until Evie goes missing along with Mason whom she has been trying to avoid all weekend. They had been a couple back in college but Todd his roommate shows her a photo that broke her heart, here there is a "meanwhile" a story to build up to a big drum roll which you can read for your selves lol. Valencia's story involves Rory the other twin she was bitten and shared blood with a vampire and now she battled with blood lust both Rory and Theo (the family security and pack member) find her and bring her back to Leandra a witch who casts a spell on Valencia to get her to be able to manage the blood lust, both Valencia and Rory have their own story to tell. Whilst helping Valencia Leandra breaks a spell that she put on Theo many years ago and he realised he loves her but that's a story yet to be written I recommend these books 1-4 some are not as long as others however, they all come back together so can be treated as one big book enjoy readers and great work by the story teller

This author has creativity when it comes to the paranormal shifter genre. However, I couldn't imagine buying these stories on their own, due to the fact that they are so short. I felt like the 4 books equaled one normal length story. The story centers around a family of one brother and three sisters. I had difficulty with how whiny and immature the sisters were the majority of the time. I connected better with the male characters. The author also likes to go back and forth in time with the characters, so some of the story line felt repetitive, which also added to how short the individual books were. I really don't like to get on authors for mistakes, but sometimes I wonder what they use for editing. Overall, this author's creativity and story line was decent; I just wasn't a big fan.

Really a 2 star per novel...
I gave a 3 star rating because this was a boxed set, but within every novel there was so much potential for more. All the novels are fast paced and straight to the point, but the stories of each book leaves you scrambling for information that was missing. Yes, you never want to give away too much as an author, but there wasn’t really a balance at all in background info and given info.

Steamy New Orleans and the magic that swirls there. We finally connect all the pieces of the fighting ring and find out what happened. On the way we get four siblings happily mated. Can't wait for more in this series.

Awesome Collection
I love a good series, where the characters are believable and they intertwine with each other. You get to know each character better and begin to feel their story. It's a great read.

Really enjoyed it
I was a little confused beginning of the story. Found out there is a reading order and there are 3 series before Only After Dark. So please check those 3 out first. I know I will. Only After Dark is 4 really good short stories.

This boxed set is really good. I went from one to the other. It kept up my interest right from the very beginning. Lots of suspense and passion. Stories were very well written so you just had to go to the next book to see what happens next. Highly recommend.

Talk about one hell of a great shifter series !! It has intrigue, history, love and hot, hot sex !! What more could you ask for in a book ?? Elle Thorne weaves each story in such a way that if you happened to read them out of order , you'd still be able to understand them and enjoy them !! I recommend this series to any lover of shifter and/or witch stories !! 5☆'s . I'm choosing to voluntarily review this book series.

A good set and part of her huge series Shifters Forever. I've already read all individual stories before the box set. I got it for a steal though. :) Definitely recommend. I know this series can get confusing because there are several different series within the WHOLE Shifters Forever. Check out her website and its easy to figure out from there.

Wonderful Series
Brilliant and talented author in creating a beautiful world of alien and shifters in her books. Just loved the series, since I started reading the first one, Shifter Forever. Boy, was I hooked with the awesome characters, the action, passion, romance, and steamy love scenes. It just get more interesting as it goes on with different shifters and mates?

Shifters
I never what to say as the blurb they give about the book or books in this case says it all. Therefore let say these were very well written stories and I have the next set to get started.

Wasted money
Maybe one story out of the four was good, the rest of them sucked. Each story got weirded and weirded as you read them. Why go to the dark side? Not worth your time and money.

Elle Thorne knows how to suck you into her Shifter World.
I loved each of the books in thus box set. It was well worth the cost. The books have it all: love, romance, sex, danger, intrigue, family, and again lots of sex!

I really liked reading the 4stories
Each book belongs to itself but explained more about each person or couple. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written.

Fantastic
Brilliant story. A complete family, sexy shifters in plural, hot sexy women and lots of great sex. Add that to the suspense and drama and the books are perfect.

Challenges
The while family will have a lot of challenges to face. But they all have to be willing to deal with at the right time.

This is a wonderful box set that blends the magic and history of Louisiana with Shifters finding thier true loves. In this set the path to bonding with true mates is fraught with danger and complications that are not usually found in shifter romances. A couple of the female shifters even try to deny the bond.
It is a complete tale that is well worth the time and money invested. I was unable to go to bed until i had finished it.
