In Catch a Tiger by the Tail by Eve Langlais, Broderick has a job to do—audit the books of a gentleman’s club. Sounds simple, except his company wants him to find dirt linking to the mob, his secret mob employer wants someone to pin the blame on, and the bar manager at the heart of the controversy doesn’t want him—even though she’s his mate.
In Wild Passions by Kate Douglas, six women—friends closer than sisters—head off to an exclusive mountain resort for a week-long bachelorette getaway, where most of the women just wants to know if there are any good men left in the world. There are, and they’re the men of Feral Passions, a unique resort located on a private wolf preserve, owned and run by a pack of sexy werewolves who use it as their own personal hunting ground for mates.
In Her Perfect Mates by A.C. Arthur, Malec Zenta was part of a loving lycan family until his twin brother’s suicide took a piece of his soul. Channing Verdi never knew his parents, but that was fine because at the age of sixteen on the night of the full moon, he realized his purpose. The only pleasure these two betas have managed to find in their life was in the bed with the women they shared. Now, a human woman has entered their lives...a woman who sets their primal instincts on fire, a woman they can’t help but stake their claim on...and give her the ultimate pleasure of being with two shifters at once.

Catch a Tiger by the Tail by Eve Langlais
Wow, what a cute and funny story. I really enjoyed reading about all the characters and the plot. To say that I loved Broderick would be an understatement. He's just so, I don't know, alpha but at the same time such a sweetheart who cares so much for his mate. His POV is just a joy to read. Now, as for Lulu, I didn't like her as much as I wanted to. She just seemed a bit too aloft and cold towards Brody and I felt like he deserved more from her. We get to see ho much he cares for her and what he does for her but we don't get to see her doing all that. I felt like she should have definitely shown her liking for him more and also at the end, she kinda goes from agains being with him to ujst accepting it. It all happened to quick for me to truly believe it. Other than that, the story is really great and I would recommend it.
Wild Passions by Kate Douglas
I really liked this one. It’s fun, sweet, sexy and the plot makes you feel happy that you’ve read the story. It’s not too serious, despite the small angst that comes from the bride-to-be. The first chapter made me laught so hard. I have to say, the warewolfs are quite creative in their way of finding mates. The only thing that did make it a bit difficult to read, for me personally, was that there were almost too many characters. As the blurb says there are six women looking for the week of their life with lots of fun. And add to that number seven guys, six guys from the Feral Passions mountain resort and one fiancé, well…it kinda gets crowded real fast. I have huge trouble with remembering names, so that made the read more of a chalange. That being said, I still enjoyed it and loved the ending. I’m really curious about the alpha’s story. He seems like a great character and an amazing leader, so I do wish for him to find his HEA.
Her Perfect Mates by A.C. Arthur
If I’m honest, I almost liked this story better than the first one. It wasn’t so light-harted and that made me connect with the plot more. There is definitely more action, mystery and angst in it, also the sex scenes were scorching hot! I mean, who doesn’t want not one, but to guys practically just begging to spend the night with you, right?
Yes, there was some back and forth but with all the killings (of animals) and the fear of history repeating itself, I think that that made the story even more interesting. I loved the heroine, she knew what she wanted but was also smart enough to consider all her options before making the next step, one that could cost her everything she worked so hard to achieve. And as for Malec and Channing, they made a great pair and to be clear, nothing sexual happens between them, they just like to share their women. It took a while for Malec to confront and get over his demons from his past but in the end he really won my heart. Channing was the charmer and knew how to fix things, so he definitely scored some points in my book, too. All in all, I liked the dynamic of the plot and how it all turned out.
To sum up, both stories make a great read. If you want something ligt and fun, then I recommend you read Wild Passions. But if you want something more action packed, then Her Perfect Mates are the read you’re looking for. Both have lots of hot scenes and great characters but in the end it really comes down to your personal preference as to what you’d enjoy reading more. I enjoyed both, so I definitely recommend both!

"Catch a Tiger by the Tail by Eve Langlais"
3.5 Silly Meow Stars! Catch a Tiger by the Tail was a short but silly story about a tiger shifter, Brody, posing as an auditor to review the books for his mob boss and wolf shifter Fabian. Fabian believes someone is skimming off the books from his Gentlemen's club that Lulu manages. When Brody starts his investigation, he finds out that Lulu is his mate and there is all sorts of hidden dangers he needs to protect her from. He soon learns Lulu isn't a woman that needs protecting.
I couldn't really take this story serious with how silly it was, but it sure was entertaining! There were so many over the top references to his animal within, I couldn't help but bust out laughing! The Epilogue leads into the next book featuring Fabian. If your looking for a fun, easy read, this is it!
"Wild Passions by Kate Douglas"
4 Passionate Stars! Trak's pack is in need of mates. Only males are born as werewolves and females are created when mated. The pack decided they needed a way to bring females to them, so they built luxury cabin resorts to draw them in. Feral Passion Resort has been successful bringing mates for four of their pack brothers and now they are expecting a bachelorette party, bringing 4 woman for the week.
Wild Passion follows along Meg, Elle, Darian and Jules. Meg, with her upcoming marriage to human Zachary and Elle, Darian and Jules paired up with one or two of the pack brothers. There is a lot going on in this story and you have a wide variety of couples. There are M/F, M/M/F and even M/M/F/F relations, although the M/M/F/F relation is from a previous book so there is no scenes with them. It was very well written and plenty of non-sexual action to keep this story interesting. It does leave off with two pack brothers not mated so it seems there is more coming for this pack.
"Her Perfect Mates by A.C. Arthur"
4.5 Pefect Stars! Her Perfect Mates is a very steamy read about two Lycans finding their mate in the human veterinarian new to town. Malec is resisting but Channing knows the importance of Caroline to them. They are brought together when Malec finds a dying doe while jogging. He brings the animal to Dr. Caroline Douglas not knowing that the beast killing the animals is watching therefor dragging Caroline into danger.
This was my favorite story out of the three. The chemistry with these three...hot! This had a great storyline that kept me riveted and while it had a HFN ending, there is definately more to the story that I definately want to see continued.

If you're partial to a shifter romance, here we have three of them in one package. And, whilst I have to be honest and say not all worked out for me, with M/F and M/M/F pairings there's certainly something to tickle everyone's fancy.
"You’d expect most women to get all freaked out, afraid of the Big Bad Wolf."
Of the three, it was A.C Arthur's Her Perfect Mates that grabbed me the most. Darker than Eve Langlais and Kate Douglas' offerings, it brings diversity, mystery and a ménage between a triad who have the perfect chemistry.
Wild has introduced me to some new-to-me authors who I'll definitely be checking out in the future.

Wild about sexy shifters and the woman that learn to love them…then Wild is the book for you.
Three top shifter romance writers have come together to create an anthology of explosive shifter chemistry, animal magnetism and romance.
Some people love anthologies, some people don’t. I, for one, really enjoy the novella length stories that give you a taste of the writer’s style while touching on a series or two that you can’t wait to get a little more of. Quick, easy and enjoyable stories all packed in to one neat little anthology…you can’t go wrong.

This trio of erotic paranormal romance writers bring a delicious collection of smexy stories to life. Feeling a bit numb with all the books I have been reading, I picked up this book because I have had good experiences with Ms. Langlais. I hoped her book would pick me up out of my reading slump. She does not disappoint.
In Catch a Tiger by the Tail, Broderick is a tiger not to be messed with. This story is action packed and I am stunned with how much goes on in this novella. Ms. Langlais creates a fabulous world with engaging characters and a well written plot. The chemistry between the characters is smoking. The plot twists adds a nice heat to the story. I loved it and after reading this story, I hoped there is more in this world.
The meat in this threesome sandwich is Wild Passions by Kate Douglas. I thought this would be another forgettable werewolf finding their soulmate story. Whilst this is the plot premise, it is much more. The story is so smoothly written. It is like a fine scotch, enjoyable down to the last sip. This sexy tale of wolves running an exclusive mountain resort should be savoured as the men heat up the sheets for these women. Makes me wish for a woman's weekend to find some sexy time with wolves who may want to share. The sex is primal. The characters are all well developed and fun. This story does pack a lot into a short period of time.
Not to be out done, Ms. Arthur is the one to bring it home in Her Perfect Mates. This one hits a bit harder because instead of just yearning and sexy time, this one incorporates sorrow and a bit of angst. This story connected with me more because it pulled out more emotion and I felt something for the characters, especially Malec. This is a moving story starting out in sorrow and ending with a happily ever after. It is sort of like a sour patch kid candy - starts out tart and ends in sweetness. With the ménage aspect, it only makes this story hotter.
This collection of three definitely kicked me out of my reading funk and brought me out of my ennui. The stories are vivid and the writers weave an erotic spell. Each of the stories is a winner which is not always the case in a collection or anthology. This erotic collection is highly recommended to all paranormal romance lovers.

I am not a huge anthology fan, but this one definitely works. I am giving it an overall 4.0, but the stories definitely varied in detail and character depth. I adore Eve Langlais’ wordbuilding, and her shifters are always a delight. The first story, Catch a Tiger, was funny and steamy – something Langlais is well known for, thanks to her Furry United Coalition (FUC) series and many other well-crafted tales. This one features a human bartender and a shifter accountant…wait, accountant? That’s right, people, and numbers aren’t the only thing he’s crunching.
Kate Douglas’ Wild Passions is from her erotic paranormal romance series Wolf Games, set in a wolf-focused nature preserve/resort where the employees are all stunning, steamy, and single wolves looking for their forever ladies. This tale is focused around a bachelorette party, with the ladies quickly becoming more interested in the scenery than the impending wedding. It is definitely erotic, so expect super steamy scenes and the occasional ménage. I like the world the author has built, and it is hard to dislike the male characters. The females she tends to portray with varying degrees of strength and issues to overcome, but I think that also adds a little bit of realness to an unreal situation.
Her Perfect Mates was the last story in the anthology, but it definitely ended on a high note. I have not read any of A.C. Arthur’s Wolf Mates series books, but this was a steamy ménage with an interesting origin story and even some divine interference. I loved the heroine in this one, a veterinarian with a very healthy appetite, and her own issues to overcome. In this tale both the heroine and hero have their obstacles, but they manage to get through them together.

Catch A Tiger by the Tail by Eve Langlais
When Broderick's boss sends him to find a thief at his Gentleman's Club, he never expects to find his mate. Lulu doesn't know who is stealing at the club, as acting manager she has been doing her best. Now she has a pesky accountant following her around who keeps trying to flirt with her and claim she is his mate, whatever that means. Broderick though has a plan for proper wooing, as far as his tiger is concerned, and he knows it is only a matter of time before Lulu falls for him and becomes is mate.
Wild Passions by Kate Douglas
Meg is about to marry her boss and fiancee Zach. Off on a weekend with her best girl friends, Meg is questioning if she is she should marry Zach. She meets Trak who is the Alpha of werewolves who run a resort.
Her Perfect Mates by A.C. Arthur
Lycan Malec Zenta can't get Dr. Caroline Douglas out of his mind, they met when he dropped a harmed animal at her clinic. However Malec doesn't sleep with humans, and the women he does sleep with always is part of a menage with Channing Verdi. When Caroline is put in danger, Malec wants her close but his past is preventing him from seeing what is right in front of him.
If you like shifter stories, this is one to pick up. A variety of stories each one different from the others. I think the fun thing about anthology's is it often introduces you to new series and authors.

Rating 3.5/5
I had recently read and enjoyed another book by Eve Langlais so looked on this as a real treat - three stories in one e-book! "Catch a Tiger by the Tail" by Eve proved to be another great paranormal romance filled with suspense and laugh out loud moments. I really enjoyed it! It has great characters, an action packed plot and plenty of surprises along the way. I suspect there are other books that will continue this story - and if there aren't, there ought to be. I'll be looking out for them in future. This story was a 4* read for me
Once I started reading the next two books, I realised I had already read and reviewed both of them previously - they are the books in “Claimed by the Mate Volume 2” which was published in June 2016 and my opinion of them hasn’t changed so here is a quote from my review of these two stories: “Both stories are considerably more steamy than I usually read. They do, however, also have intriguing plots with plenty of non-sexual action. Personally definitely preferred the first story as the second seemed to spend more time in bedroom menage a trois antics rather than in developing the plot. If you enjoy your shifter romance with steamy hot action, you’ll probably love both these novels.” Overall, I rated these two books as 3* so gave the whole set 3.5*
Personally, I thought the first book in this set, Catch a Tiger by the Tail, was a higher standard of writing and storyline, with more story and less sexual antics, but that’s just me! Three stories in one set - great if you enjoy paranormal shifter adventures and romance but just check you don't already have two of these stories already!

Catch a tiger by the tail by Eve Langlais
Brodie, is a tiger shifter and an accountant assigned to find out whose been fiddling the books at the gentlemen's club. When he gets caught by Lulu going through files, he knows he's found his mate.
Will Lulu accept his tiger and him? What is Lulu hiding and will it change his feelings for her?
I enjoyed this short book and the narrative. I liked Brodie's character: he was funny, confident and persistent to get his destined mate into his life and bed permanently. The chemistry between Lulu and Brodie was ok: Brodie's attraction was incredibly intense but I thought Lulu sometimes threw off their chemistry.
Wild passions by Kate Douglas
4.5 stars
Feral Passions is run by hot sexy werewolf shifters. Some have been lucky and found their forever mate but some are still searching.
This was a sexy, funny yet cute read. I loved how the wolves shape shifted and slept in the women's bed. The chemistry between the women and the werewolves was definitely off the charts. All the werewolves are sexy but I felt sorry for Trak who has yet to find his forever mate but hopefully a future book will bring his happy ending.
Her perfect mates by A C Arthur
5 stars
Fantastic book with an unusual yet sensual narrative.
Caroline is a vet, and she moved to a small town to get away from her past and make a fresh start. Her life turns upside down when a hot sexy guy called, Malec comes in with an injured animal.
Malec is instantly hard just looking at the sexy vet but he doesn't have sex with humans no mater how tempting she is to taste.
Malec is a Lycan, a hybrid werewolf. He resides with his pack but over the years he has shared women with another Lycan called, Channing. Malec's past doesn't allow him to emotionally connect to the females therefore, Malec's sole objective is to pleasure the woman whereas, Channing is the emotional care giver.
There's a strong sexual attraction between Caroline and Malec from the moment they meet. However, Malec is haunted by his past and therefore resists his attraction.
Injured animals, mysteriously keep appearing. Malec during his run smells the scent of another Lycan which is not from his pack. Could these two things be related?
Channing and Malec go to a bar to release stress only to cross paths with Caroline. When Malec takes her to the dance floor and Channing comes up behind her, grinding into her, she's aroused by the two sensational men offering her pleasures beyond her wildest dreams. She resists temptations as she doesn't want her name tarnished as a vet.
Will she succumb to her sexual desires involving these men?
I absolutely loved this book. It was sexy, sensual and the threesome sex scenes were hot. The chemistry between Caroline, Channing and Malec was sizzling, explosive and passionate. The narrative was interesting and definitely keeps you engaged.

Catch a tiger by the tail by Eve Langlais
Brodie, is a tiger shifter and an accountant assigned to find out whose been fiddling the books at the gentlemen's club. When he gets caught by Lulu going through files, he knows he's found his mate.
Will Lulu accept his tiger and him? What is Lulu hiding and will it change his feelings for her?
I enjoyed this short book and the narrative. I liked Brodie's character: he was funny, confident and persistent to get his destined mate into his life and bed permanently. The chemistry between Lulu and Brodie was ok: Brodie's attraction was incredibly intense but I thought Lulu sometimes threw off their chemistry.

Let me first start by stating that I am not going to rate each story individually. This was put together as a compilation, therefore my rating is for the compilation as a whole. Each story had their own excitement, drama and intrigue. But the underlining glue was definitely that fact that each one was WILD!
Catch a Tiger by the Tail by Eve Langlais was a perfect way to start this masterpiece. You get a very playful Tiger (often times silly in his banter) who immediately wants to claim the woman he has just met. Mix in a mystery, other shape shifters and raw animal chemistry and you've got yourself one hell of a read. If you can get past the sometimes unnecessary "meow" thrown in there from time to time, it's pretty easy to just enjoy this one for what it is. And now I'm stuck wondering what's up with the Alpha. Guess I'll be picking up the next one in this series soon. BTW, loved the title. It's such a literal one.
Wild Passions by Kate Douglas is jam packed with following an entire pack and it's guests on their land. In order to find the perfect mate, the pack has created a vacation oasis for single woman, Feral Passions. Where the first story concentrated on one couple, this one pulls you in to roughly 4 couples and their stories. There are multiple "hook ups" and TONS of passion in this one. Although it doesn't work out for a couple of them, we're left with the possibility of another book that will surely NOT disappoint.
Her Perfect Mates by A.C. Arthur is Mmmmm, Mmmmm, Fantastic (MMF) fun. Veterinarian meets two ridiculously hot Lycans. Chemistry between the two is off the hook crazy and boy of boy do I want more. Oh, I forgot. There's a danger element in this one that only makes the hotness that much more intense. I've never read this author before and I'm seriously chomping at the bit to pick up more. Wow!!! Did I mention how hot this was????
This compilation was Wild indeed!!!!! Each story has it's own special something that appeals to just about everyone. Highly recommend this one. Enjoy!

This was a fun three story anthology where each novella gave something a little different. CATCH A TIGER BY THE TAIL by Eve Langlais was fun and flirty. Reading about Brody’s relentless attempt to claim Lulu while all hell was breaking loose, was humorous and oh so sexy. WILD PASSIONS by Kate Douglas was a super sexy story set in a single woman’s perfect getaway resort. HER PERFECT MATES by A. C. Arthur was fiery hot story of a strong woman finding the perfect match in two males. The mystery and danger mixed well with the MFM romance. Over all, Wild delivered on all sexy romance desires.

The books in this set are all separate works, and have no connection with one another. That said, CLAIMED BY THE MATE features FERAL PASSIONS--which precedes Wild Passions and THE ALPHA'S WOMAN which comes before Her Perfect Mates. I think they make more sense having read the previous books.
To sum up, all the books have male shifters and human females. Catch a Tiger features a M/F romance between a tiger shifter who lives two lives--smart accountant and mob guy. Wild Passions has wolf shifters in search of their mates--mostly this is M/F but there is all a FMM menage. Her Perfect Mates is a MFM menage.
In Catch a Tiger by the Tail by Eve Langlais, Brody finds his mate while investigating a suspected grift at one of his mafia boss' adult cabaret. Lulu was a waitress at Tail Waggers until her manager disappeared and she got "promoted." Now, Lycan leader of the city Fabian Geroux thinks somebody's on the take--and his sights are on Lulu. Brody's, a lone tiger shifter, in a tight spot trying to prove the sexy redheaded human isn't scamming Fabian, because falling for a human is bad--falling for one Fabian wants dead is way, way worse.
In the way of things, it turns out Lulu isn't who they suspect her to be, but her secrets aren't necessarily the worst. Nope, the worst is the homicidal maniac who plans to kill her in a quest for revenge against her father. Brody's a wily cat and ends up saving her from big bad bears and keeping her safe from Fabian, too.
In Wild Passions by Kate Douglas, four women—friends closer than sisters—head off to an exclusive mountain resort for a week-long bachelorette getaway. Feral Passions is a "wolf preserve." Werewolves and regular alike. In this world, all werewolves are male, and they can turn a female with whom they mate. There's a whole pack of males wishing for mates. Meg is having second thoughts about her upcoming marriage to Zach, a wealthy entrepreneur. She and Elle, Jules and Darian--best friends from childhood--are planning a sexy retreat and find the men of Feral Passions to be even hotter than the pictures on the website. Elle soon has two wolves in her bed, while Darian and Jules each pair up with a sexy man-beast. Meg, despite her cold feet, is befriended by Trak, the owner of the resort--and his companionship helps Meg to recognize that she's an attractive woman very much worthy of Zach's affection and love. Lots of sexytimes for Elle, Jules and Darian--and the men who please them. Gonna need a third book to pair off the rest of the pack, but so far everyone is totes cool with their mate-pairings.
In Her Perfect Mates by A.C. Arthur, Malec hates being a shifter--ever since his twin killed himself. Channing never knew his parents, but his adoptive family was very kind. These two met up with Blaez years ago and they all served in a special ops group in the Marines, alongside Phelan. Now they work and live together in a highly secured compound in the mountains. The previous book was the lovestory between Blaez and his mate Kira. There's a big shifter war in their world, and they came from different factions. Blaez is a hunted shifter due to his pure werewolf lineage. Malec meets new-to-town veterinarian Caroline when he brings her a mutilated buck to see if it can be saved. Malec suspects the buck was a message from Hunter shifters after Blaez--he didn't suspect he'd find his mate at the office however. Malec's not used to being intimate with women on his own--he always makes up the third leg of a menage, with charming Channing. Thing is, Channing's also drawn to Caroline, and Caroline wants both men--except that would make her a slut, like her prostitute mother. The real and present danger forces them all close, and it seems like the only way to keep Caroline safe, from predation and gossips, is to bring her into the pack. Also, sexytimes.
In all, I liked WILD PASSIONS best, because it's sweet and lots of sexy, but the other two are cool, and interesting in their own way. Each will have more stories to come--to resolve the major plot arcs that are still open, and also secure mates for the currently unpaired shifter males.

DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED AN E-ARC FROM THE PUBLISHER THROUGH NET GALLEY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW. RECEIPT OF THIS BOOK IN THIS MANNER DOES NOT AFFECT MY OPINION OF THE BOOK OR THE CONTENT OF MY REVIEW!
This is the second time I have reviewed an anthology of stories by two of these authors, and I was fortunate enough to read Legal Wolf's Mate separately, since all three of the stories in this anthology are direct sequels to the stories found in Growl/Claimed by the Mate, Vol. 1. Since it had been a while since I had read the previous stories by Kate Douglas and A.C. Arthur, I felt a bit lost until I remembered the details of those previous stories, so I would not recommend reading these with a large break in between them. While they do focus on other couples, I would not call these stories standalones either.
In Catch a Tiger by the Tail by Eve Langlais, we continue the story set forth in Legal Wolf's Mate, and it seemed there was no downtime between the two stories. Broderick was somewhat funny, but I couldn't get a good handle on Lulu. The plot felt very formulaic and was almost a repeat of Legal Wolf's Mate, where there was a twist involving the heroine. The mysteries introduced in Legal Wolf's Mate were furthered, but this story ended on a cliffhanger, which I did not appreciate. Overall, this one wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. (2.5 stars)
In Wild Passions by Kate Douglas, a group of 4 friends wind up finding validation and love at the Feral Passions resort. I really liked this book. It did let readers know that some time had passed between the events of the first story and this one. I admired all the women, and how they were so accepting of the men's natures. I even liked the twist that they had their own unique secrets! Not everyone had a happily ever after, but there was no cliffhanger in this story either. I'd love to buy a copy of this for my personal collection! (5 stars)
In Her Perfect Mates by A.C. Arthur, I was completely lost, since I didn't remember much of the previous story. It also shows time passing since the events of the previous story, but the story was very convoluted. I had a hard time connecting to the male characters, but did admire the heroine for trying to overcome her origins and the events of her past. The author did redeem herself for me, as when Caroline the heroine said no and rejected the heroes, the author did allow that to stand and not force a rape scene. It ends on a slight cliffhanger, but I'm not in a big rush for the next story either. (2 stars)

This collection of shapeshifter romances tells the stories of finding ones fated mate. Whether it happens on the job while auditing books for one’s boss, going on vacation with friends to a secluded ranch run by werewolves or involves trying to stay safe while someone evil harms animals brought in to your veterinary clinic the outcome is the same – a fated mate is found and claimed and sometimes a woman just might get two mates instead of just one.
Three great stories with interesting characters, plenty of action (in and out of the bedroom) and the possibility of reading more in each of the authors’ series makes this not only entertainment but also an introduction to authors you might not have read before.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC to read in exchange for my honest review.

Catch a Tiger by the Tail is an interesting plot line of bar manager and account whom lead very separate secret lives. It's a short story where boy meets girl and they hook up and fall in love. All the mistakes and secrets are forgiven and it is very much so happily ever after. I rather enjoyed how strong Brody came on and that the story didn't revolve around the resistance of Lulu. It seems possible that the story focused a little much on the romance and mating than on the mob gangster boss and bears that urinate all over everything. The end was a bit out of nowhere and expected bears to be more involved with mob boss and bad business than a plot out of left field. Overall it was enjoyable.
Wild Passions was a bit difficult to follow because so many characters were thrown at you at once with whirlwind romances. Once involved enough in the story it was relatively simple to follow the story line. Werewolves and humans spending time together looking for love. I do have some criticisms first one being that a resort for only females ran by males who encourage doors to be left open so wolves can lay in bed with them... uhm? Even for fantasy seems a bit unrealistic. Secondly a lot happens within the first three days and women make rash life altering decisions on a whim. Struck me as odd, none of the women seemed to have reservations with leaving doors open, sleeping with wolves that they didn't know were werewolves in wolf form, and engage in this connection all within the span of 3 days. The last 4 days at the resort not too much happens it's all feelings and wanting ri be together forever. I was hopeful this would be more fantasy and less romance. As a romance I don't have too many criticisms but if placing this in the fantasy category it could have been more. Don't misunderstand I thoroughly enjoyed the read, just as a practical reality based perspective it left a lot of curiosities during my read.
Her Perfect Mate I enjoyed the least out of this short story series book. The story was very sexually oriented with descriptions to match. The story was shape shifting erotica MMF. Perfect if those are the types of stories you find enjoyable. This story seemed to respond to every situation with a threesome. The plot was more sexually based with hormone driven writings than an actual plot. I'm still somewhat confused as to why Zeus was mad and did he do anything about his anger or was it one of those cliff hanger suggestions for a possible second short story? Again, I personally did not enjoy this read.
From the three stories offered I believe that Wild Passions; although, far fetched would be my favorite.

Wild Wild brings together the writing talents of Eve Langlais, Kate Douglas and A.C. Arthur. All are great authors in their own right but with story collections like this there's bound to be some that a reader will like more than others. First up is Catch a Tiger by the Tail by Ms. Langlais and I had to stop myself from laughing out loud in public. The heroine (Lulu) is kick-ass, funny and the back and forth with her male counter part ispriceless. The hero wasn't too shabby either. Brody the were-tiger accountant has a lot to meow about and as a matter of fact his tiger meowed a lot. Well, I guess tigers can meow , especially if they are were-tiger. Anyway, this first entry has a great plot-line, a descent dose of action and and characters that the reader would like to see in further stories. Especially, that sexy alpha Fabian. Now, he's one character to meow about.Next up is Wild Passions by Kate Douglas. I have to admit that this entry did not capture my attention like I'd expected. Like all of Ms. Douglas' entries, this one was well written with well developed characters but there was just too many to keep track of in such a short story. Like most readers, I expected the head shifter in charge to have his HEA but that just didn't happen. So, I kept reading expecting a three way relationship to develop but that didn't happen either. I found the heroine (Meg the character that I assumed to be the heroine) boring. The secondary female characters stole the spotlight consistently throughout the story and I was foolishly hoping that the male leads (Traker the Alpha and Zach the fiancé) would hook-up or that Zach would be a were or just something that would draw more interest. Don't worry too much about this because there are plenty of other characters with personal issues that will keep readers entertained.The final entry is Her Perfect Mates by AC Arthur and this was a treat to read. It was a little dark and a little edgy with strong leads. The heroine (Caroline) is a great pairing with the two male leads (Malec and Channing). I truly wouldn't mind reading more tales centered around all the characters of this novella. Her Perfect Mateshas weres (both wolf and feline), Greek mythology (with a pissed off Zeus) and enough male character with issues to write many more stories about.Thank you to Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for honest review.

Two stories were enjoyable for me. I read this for the Eve Langlais book which I enjoyed immensely but I also enjoyed returning to Feral Passions Resort and those lovely hunky shifters.
EVE LANGLAIS - CATCH A TIGER BY THE TAIL
Another short fun read with tongue in cheek humour.
A fun story with Broderick a not so nerdy accountant trying to convince his mate that he is a tiger shifter.
Lulu thinks Broderick is hot but nuts until he has to fight to save her after being kidnapped.
Lulu takes his shifting into a tiger in stride but this is explained when Broderick wakes up the next morning to find Lulu’s father with a gun at his head.
Not giving anything away but well worth the read.
KATE DOUGLAS - WILD PASSIONS
Whilst I do dislike the sleeping around aspect of these stories I also love the fact we are heading back to the resort to match more of these hunky and sweet shifters with their mates.
A C ARTHUR - HER PERFECT MATES
Didn’t read this as I did not enjoy a previous book by this author in this related series.

A C ARTHUR - HER PERFECT MATES
Didn’t read this as I did not enjoy a previous book by this author in this related series.

Another short fun read with tongue in cheek humour.
A fun story with Broderick a not so nerdy accountant trying to convince his mate that he is a tiger shifter.
Lulu thinks Broderick is hot but nuts until he has to fight to save her after being kidnapped.
Lulu takes his shifting into a tiger in stride but this is explained when Broderick wakes up the next morning to find Lulu’s father with a gun at his head.
Not giving anything away but well worth the read.
Kate Douglas once again gave me a wonderful read and introduced more women to the stunning wolf shifters of the Feral Passions Resort.
Loved it.
Sorry did not read AC Arthur.

Very similar to the other anthology, Growl.
Catch a Tiger by the Tail by Eve Langlais. This one has a bit of a who done it plot mixed in with the naughty naughty.
Wild Passions by Kate Douglas is a continuation of the story from Growl where we see a few of the other guys from Feral Passions find their mates. Including some menage action for one of the guests.
Her Perfect Mates by A.C. Arthur is again a menage storyline but it's pretty darn awkward with a shifter that kinda hates people/women/everything.
Decent reads, but nothing earthshattering.

Shockingly my least favorite was the Langlais story. It seemed confused to me. Did it want to be funny, did it want to be serious? The Douglas story came in second. I'm not sure another Feral Passions same plot story will get high marks from me next time. Love the concept but there's not much outside of boys run retreat, girls come to retreat and hook up with boys. Arthur story was my favorite for originality and suspense but it ended abruptly. Guess we'll find out the fate of the 'change' during the next story.

I bought this book when going on vacation for the drive there
This book was amazing, it had 3 different stories by 3 different authors. I was a little ify about the first one, i mainly bought it for the werewolves but the first story is about a tiger shifter but that one was actually very good! I loved the idea of a tiger!
The second one was AMAZING loved seeing the different love between each character and the friendship between the main characters which you don't often see!
The last one was pretty steamy and loved it!
Overall very good book, will definitely get the others!

All three authors wrote steamy, action packed stories all involving shifters and fated mates. But they all had something unique in their stories for everyone to enjoy. Although I had never read anything by Kate Douglas or A.C. Arthur, I enjoyed the stories enough to read more from them.

The second book of a series is either good or slow . This book was slow it took me a while to read through compared to the first book. It lagged on smut and it was hard to keep up on the story compared to the first book in series.

Wonderful anthology for those who love paranormal romance and a bit more detail on the "good parts"

I liked reading this book all the stories are interesting and intense in their own way. Eve Langlais, Kate Douglas, and A.C. Arthur have amazing creativity for all the characters in the stories.
