Bear Haven Box Set
Bear seeking Mate: Curves preferred
Four full-length, fast-paced shifter romance novels! Enjoy these big, growly Montana men as they find the perfect curvy mates for a happily ever after!
Mountain Bear
Bear shifter Shane McAllister never thought he'd use an online dating site, but right now he's desperate. He has just months to find a mate before he and his brothers lose the family ranch. When one of his brothers makes some 'creative' changes to his profile, tricking a city girl into a dangerous situation, it's up to Shane to come to the rescue. When he does, he's shocked to come face to face with a curvy sweetheart who just happens to be his fated mate.
Rancher Bear
Jesse was the most level-headed of the three overprotective, overbearing McAllister brothers. Until the curvy redhead who is meant to be his mate came to town. Now Jesse's discovering it's not easy to stay out of trouble when the bear inside you knows exactly what it wants, and can't have it.
Wild Bear
Maverick McAllister is always getting into trouble. More in touch with his bear than his human, he always seems to say or do the wrong thing. But when he plants a sexy kiss on a curvy, surprised stranger, he knows for once he's gotta be right. After all, she's going to be his mate, and who wouldn't want to be claimed by the biggest, baddest alpha bear around? Too bad Harmony doesn't seem to agree. Or too eager to come back to his cave, er, cabin.
Mountain Lion
Mountain lion shifter Wyatt Reynolds has finally found something to fight for. Life has been a bit lonely for the tall, sexy cowboy on his upscale Montana ranch, but he never found the right woman to settle down with. Until a small, mysterious person walks into his office one day, hidden under bulky men's clothing and needing his help.

Beary Good!
This set of stories were mostly about bear brothers (3 of them) who each had to get mates in order to save the ranch because of what their dad had put in his will.
Mountain Bear is book 1 where Shane the oldest brother get mated to Ruby when Maverick the youngest brother finds that Shane had put himself on a dating website & then puts a request for a meeting with anyone that's interested. Ruby comes with her 2 friends (Bonnie & Harmony) to meet Shane.
Ranch Bear is book 2 & this story is about Jesse the middle brother & Bonnie who is a cat shifter.
Wild Bear is the 3rd book is about Maverick & Harmony.
Mountain Lion is the 4th book & is about the bear's friend Wyatt & Valerie (both are cat shifters).
Wyatt shows up in all the bear books in some form or other & becomes friends with them again. Also, there's kidnapping in these book, wild sex & women that are very happy that they came to Montana. All of the stories can be read as a standalone but as each story has characters from the other books you won't want to read them as standalones.

Men
3 brothers and a will. Yep guessed it. Let the games begin. I read it late at night. And had to read it all. Nothing like 3 hot brothers. Who are running out of time.

Three rugged but caring cowboy rancher bear shifter brothers and three big city girlfriends on the collision course to find their fated mates. The men have very little experience with wooing and winning over females, more used to roaming the vast Montana wilderness in their bear form. Each of the women have their own troubled and traumatic pasts and they need to recover their trust in men and belief in love. The brothers and women come from very different worlds and they need to work to start to understand each other and trust to let their growing feelings free.
The love stories are warm, funny, sexy, full of hilarious situations and good humor and friendship and family. There are also the usual shifter action scenes which are always great; it's amazing to see their animals. Actually I would like to see more of them, their animals having more pronounced and visible roles in the stories. That would be a great counterpoint to the human side of the stories. The funniest of all is Maverick the wild bear, the youngest of the brothers with his totally misunderstood ideas about winning a human mate. He is so bear, so not in touch with his human side and uncomfortable in his human form.
The fourth story is about the friend and neighbor of the brothers, a lonely mountain lion shifter Wyatt, the most caring, patient, tenderhearted and sweet man imaginable. He is a Prince Charming rescuing a damsel in distress. I totally loved his story the best.

The good, the bad and the formulaic
I know everyone doesn't appreciate ingenuity, originality, and creativity, but I like to occasionally come across the path of a non-formulaic shifter novel.
My biggest pet peeves: (1) The sex scenes are basically the same and are inserted into the same place in each novel; (2) The heroines are annoying characters. As a woman I don't support the idea that women alone are entitled to whatever they want, give confusing signals, change their minds every five seconds and their partner just has to go along with their prerogative. Grow up. If you're conflicted and confused you're responsible for taking a step back and not getting involved. Making someone jealous by encouraging the affection of others and then getting offended when it goes beyond your selfish motives doesn't make you a victim. The heroines are often whiny and annoyingly indecisive; (3) Also, I must have an unnatural blood thirst and desire for revenge because I would be happy to beat the existence out of my enemy. These novels make a great case for why women shouldn't be in combat (not that I support that view, just saying if women were truly like this, then I wouldn't have them in battle, with that constant "please don't hurt the person hellbent on trying to kill me" theme).
So if you want to pass the time with something uncomplicated and patterned, this is the boxset for you.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book set. It was a pleasure to be able to read the books continuously without having to wait for the next book. I find that waiting on the next book can be a little off putting. Terry has made the interconnecting of the stories so fluid that there doesn't seem to be any times lapse between them. The writing was superb, the stories very believable, the location was a great choice, the characters were just every day people with enhanced abilities, which most of us would like to have. I highly recommend this set. If you don't like the set then try each book separately. They could each be a stand alone with a HEA. Whenever I find an book of T. Bolryder, I always try to get it. Always checking for a set with the book in it. Hope everyone tries T Bolryders' books and enjoys them as much as I do.

Whew! Bears and cats in this one! I love it!
All of these shifter romances move super-fast. The characters are vivid,and so appealing. Each story has some kind of issue that it deals with. The last 2 are the most emotionally powerful. They deal with some tough themes. But watching all these characters struggle to get their mates and save their land was great to see. There are plenty of steamy scenes in each one. We are introduced to the Double Dragons series and the Tiger Protectors series in the last story. If you have not read any books by Terry Bolryder, this box set is a great start. If you are like me and started with the dragon shifters first, this is a fun sideline to those. I can't believe I missed this set when I first started reading her shifter romances. Enjoy!

Amazing
I just got done reading this series and loved it. Reading this series was not only amazing but exciting as well having three brothers who need to find mated to save there ranch and how each brother helped them awesome but when brother who I loved the most was Maverick who helped Shane find his mate and went in a change his online profile to help was not only amazing but one cutsie move. Keep writing there amazing books. But I also loved the solider series and the bear series where they are body guards.

What a fun little series
First, I want to say that this must be an early publication for this author because it had a lot more editing problems than I'm used to from her.
Second, I want to say that I loved all the bears and the cougar and their mates, but I was particularly fond of Maverick and Harmony. Although, the brutal honesty of Val comes a close second.
I am actually a little surprised that I'm discovering Bolryder books I haven't read yet, and it makes me happy.

A Sexy Fun Romp!!!
Each character was a great fun time getting to know them and love each one of them. I laughed, cried, cared, and loved every word in this series. Each brother was so different and varied and had their own challenges to overcome, just like their mates, it was the same way with Mr. Reynolds, and Valerie. Thanks for such great characters and stories, I would recommend them to anyone who loves a great read. Thanks again! 🐻🐻🐻😼💕 💕😻

This boxed set has been languishing on my tbr list for years. Who know why I hadn't read it yet. If I had, I may have already worked my way through this authors booklist as I am now. It has helped that most of that booklist is KU. Imagine my surprise when I found I even own a few boxed sets. I believe it is all the bear stories. Yeah, I like bears. They are just so cuddly. Anyway, glad I got a box set off the tbr list. Individual reviews are found on each individual book.

Mountain Bear Box Set by Terry Bolryder is a fantastic paranormal romance box set. These four books are about the 3 McAllister brothers in need of mates and their neighbor Wyatt who helps them in their quests. The stories are entertaining, the characters are fun. There's plenty of humor, sizzle, action and suspense to keep readers happy. I enjoyed this collection and would be happy to read more from this author. These are complete books, no cliff-hangers.

Great series with book 4 topping it all.
I thought her dragons were tops then I learned of others and went hunting. Wow did I find prime time. This series mixes things in a great way. Bears, big cats, and humans lots of action and she even snuck in some billing and coding. A delight for all.

The feeels
I have read a few of Bolryder's books, but this set...omg it took my heart, squeezed it, and then put it back in my chest. My favorite book was the one between Mav and Harmony. Mav was such a cutie pie with his confusion. He just did not understand his emotions and Harmony...that girl did not understand he was showing her love in his own way. Keep up the good work!

City meets country
City girls discover that Montana has more than beautiful land, it has protective animals. Three bear brothers meeting their mates when three city girls come out to Montana because of a dating app. Danger and love excels in each story. There's even their friends, whose a cougar, story.

Very entertaining
I really enjoyed reading the series. The third box had several error, that was very annoying. The forth book had two.
If you can get past the errors, in grammar, and character confusion between Ruby and Bonnie (going to the wrong husbands), then it's okay. The storyline is fabulous, which makes up for the errors.

Wow, Fun and Amazing
These stories really touched my heart. Especially the last one. I’m an adult survivor of a few things and Valerie just got to me so much. I loved her from the first chapter to the last. Especially when she went to rescue her mate. Thank you for writing her story.

This was a great buy
I really enjoyed this book set. I could not put it down until I was done. I knew better than to start another story because I'd be trapped again. The stories were really cute and I loved the way the charters from other books were in each new story
