Fairytale Shifter #4
Finding Snow
Koda's found his sister, Winnie, and now he's made a life for himself in Gray Ridge, Colorado. As a bear shifter, he's naturally a loner, and with so few females around, he's resigned to never finding his mate. But when he stumbles upon a woman in the woods, his whole world changes.
Snow's been on the run and has made a makeshift family with a band of seven wanderers. While resting in the woods and waiting for them to come back, something big finds her.
When Koda and Snow collide, they realize their stories are woven together more tightly than they could have imagined. Will the truth break their mate's bond? Or will it bind them closer together?
Warning: This fairy-tale shifter story is full of alpha sweetness with a side of a growly bear. What's not to love?! If you love a classic story with a dirty twist, then get your click on it!

Well, I feel like I've said thisabout AR's books so many times aready but hell if I ain't gonna say it again.
I love reading short stories that are actually well made. There are some authors that want to capture as much as possible but then forget or neglect the basic story. But with AR that's never the case. When I read the blurb I know exactly what I'm in for. That being said, I loved this story even more because of the OTT, brooding, grumpy but sweet and sometimes clueless hero. He was perfect for Snow and what's best, given their history they turned out to be just what the other needed. I also really liked Snow, she wasn't bitchy or nonunderstanding, just the opposite. She got where Koda was coming from and I loved that she didn't try to push him or change him.
Also, seeing the characters from previous books was really great.
All in all, I think you'll like this story. It's fun, sexy, a bit sad but overall so worth reading. :)

These Alexa Riley's shifter Hs couldn't be any better! They make me melt in an huge puddle of goo EVERY time!!! Le sigh... <3
“Why would you want to give a girl the same name as me?”
He leans down, kissing my lips softly before whispering. “Because I can’t think of anything I love more than Snow.”

Koda is a cuddly teddy bear, his story broke my heart through and through. This book is likable, and I enjoyed it so much. Koda and Snow are perfect together. I love him when he growls and tells everybody that she's mine. Such a sweet novella !

3.5 stars. Good old fashioned over the top obsessive insta-love. Lol Koda is all alpha and Snow is the little lady who just wants a family and her own romance after being lost and found by 7 shifter brothers who now consider her a sister. Did I mention it's over the top? These are the books I read to get a giggle because you really can't take them too serious. Once Koda has his Snow, he locks her up tight and gets to know her (much to our delight). It's sexy. Fun. Short. :) Safety: 100% safe!

A quick fun smutty read I once again enjoyed from cover to cover! Loved Koda and Snow together!

** 3.5-4 STARS **
“I’ll give her anything she wants. FOREVER.”
I'm liking the little angsty bits...but they're still not enough.

This book features Koda the huge bear shifter and brother to Winnie.
Koda still struggles after the years he spent caged and experimented on, he may have escaped the cage but the nightmares stay. He fears being taken again, he understandably doesn't like humans he avoids large groups and his cabin has huge locks both inside and out.
He lives a solitary existence and longs for a mate and cubs.
Snow ran away from her father when she was just eleven years old. The Denali brothers found her and kept her safe and hidden.
When Koda and Snow meet the attraction is instant but they have more in common then they realise.
Another good read and I believe the last in this series.

This book was your typical Alexa Riley offering. Super sweet, super short, and I enjoyed the heck out of it. :)

Finding Snow is the first novella I have read from the Fairytale Shifter series, seeing as it’s the fourth title and I had no trouble reading it, I think it’s safe to say the stories can be read as standalone's.
Koda and Snow, are pretty much insta-everything (as you would expect!). As soon as he scents her he knows she is his mate, and Snow is not looking to put up much of a fight when he carries her back to his cabin. I liked the backstory to this one though, in that both of them are connected by something that at their initial meeting, neither of them are aware of.
The over-the-top alpha in Koda, was all-sorts of sweet, and I loved that Snow was an old fashioned kind of girl in that she was happy to keep house.
Another Gold-medal Epilogue finished this story off in stellar style, and I will certainly be looking to read the previous, and any forthcoming novellas from the series.

4* MINE, MINE, MINE STARS!
Wow really Koda? You get raging hard on on your future mate at the first met? That's Alexa Riley for you. All her dominant male couldn't keep their co*k and hands very well and ended up with cherry popper ceremony. Well, me as perv never have problem with that. Virgin heroine always intriguing especially in paranormal world. *cough*
Snow live with her band of brothers. Down to three brothers left, they moved to Grey Ridge in hope to found their mate. Koda escaped from his past and finally met his long lost sister, Winnie. It was a match from heaven that Snow and Koda finally met for the first time. They haven't share their feeling either because suddenly Koda claim her and for the first time Snow feels the urge for him. It was mutual affection althou surprised Koda that Snow is a human. But he didn't care because she's his true mate.
My heart broke for both of them. They're both hurt from the past and now starting new future together. I always have soft and wet spot for tortured soul. LOL! Over-the-top as always, but I could sense their chemistry when they're starting to open their feeling. Koda almost the same like Z and I loved it! Damn were-bear is more interesting and hug-able than werewolf. *swoon* Hope to read more about Snow's brother.
Looking down, I see my cock is long and hard in front of me. It’s never been this way before. For shifters, it only gets hard when you find your mate. I wrap my hand around it, rubbing up and down, but from the little I know about shifter matings, I won’t cum unless I’m inside of her. It’s Mother Nature’s way of making sure the seed isn’t wasted and that it’s used to breed your mate.

Her honey drips into my mouth as she climaxes on top of me. I lick and suck it up as pleasure rockets through her and the mating heat takes me over. I didn’t know what to expect, but it’s far more intense than anything I could have imagined.

She pushed back all the darkness that’s always been present in me. When I was with her, it was gone. I saw nothing but her. My perfect little mate

Who doesn’t love fairy tales? How about a modern version of the beloved classic Snow White with an Alexa Riley twist? If that doesn’t tell you to get your one-click fingers ready then I don’t know what is wrong with you. LOL j/k.
Finding Snow was a quick sweet and sexy happily ever after with a paranormal shifter romance twist. Yes, that’s right instead of Prince Charming, you got Koda. And who is Koda? Well, he’s your super protective alpha bear shifter who makes it known to Snow, who happens to be human that she belongs to him. And if you are familiar with Alexa Riley then you are all aware that these two have a knack of weaving sexy and sweet. So if you are in the mood to get swept away in a modern fairy tale twist with a big lovable alpha bear then this book is for you.

I absolutely adore these fairy-tale shifter stories with growly hero and cute heroine. They are so damn funny and spicy in the Alexa Riley's style.
Koda is a Winnie's brother, who found her in the previous part of the series. He is a loner, and is hard for him to get used to life in the pact. He was wounded by humans and despises them. He never, ever thought that he would find his mate, and especially not in a human. Snow lives in secret with shifters family. She has seven brothers who take care of her for many years. But now she is in legal age and would like to come out of hiding. When going on a little walk, she meets a man who change her life forever.
This is my favorite series. Animal passion and temper is what I love in these stories the most. Always alpha character, who is dangerous for the surroundings, but with his beloved - in this case - is a big teddy bear. This is probably the most sexy combination. They do well in bed and are sensitive and loving without limits. And obviously always sweet heroine, who must find a way to tame a wild animal in him. The best combination ever!
The story has also funny parts. I love those moments in which he is overprotective to her in a completely ridiculous way. It's hilarious and you can not hide your smile. Along with a small twist, which introduced some tension to the plot, you have a fantastic short story.
You can be sure that you'll have a great time reading this series. I definitely have.

Mierda, que adiccion tengo a estas historias... me encantan los shifters, lo posesivos que son... bueno para que voy a decir más si he dicho lo mismo en los 3 anteriores ¿verdad? Jajajaja
Pensé que iba a haber un poco más de drama con lo del padre de Snow, pero luego hay que tener en cuenta que es una historia corta y no puede desarrollarse mucho el drama así que... aún así amé la historia ❤️ para pasar el rato esta, es de las mejores series!

Another wonderful Alexa Riley book. I loved Koda- he was so sweet and really deserved an HEA! Snow was sweet as well and I loved their story. As usual I would have loved if it was longer!
October 9, 2018
A sweet, short story and I really enjoyed it.
The story is about Koda and Snow.
He's a bear shifter and Winnie's brother (book 3 h). He was captured and caged for years but Winnie got away. He looked for her as soon as he escaped and decided to stay in Gray Ridge after Alpha Stone (book 3 H) welcomed him to their pack.
She's human and on the run. Her wolf brothers found her out in the snow and raised her like their own.
He thought he'll never find his mate until he saw her in the woods. He realized she's human and he hates her kind but maybe she can make him see not all humans are bad.
It has lovely epilogues.
SAFETY:

3.5 Finding your Mate Stars
This wasn't my favorite in the series, but I did enjoy it. This series is probably one of my favorite series Alexa Riley writes. I'm all about the bear shifter and human lady. You know there's going to be tons of kinky stuff.
Never a disappointment!

Koda and Snow
Story based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs fairytale
Koda is Winnie’s brother from the story “The Lost Slipper”. He is a lonely bear who suffered a lot in his life. Thus, he avoids going out and he hates humans.
Snow is a human girl who was saved when she was little by seven wolf brothers. She was always looked after and sheltered by them. Now she is a grown up, her four adopted brothers have found their mates and the three remaining wolves don’t let anyone near her.
Until one day, she meets a grumpy bear in the forest that abducts her and locks her in his fortress -home.
Koda is happy that he discovered his mate, but he is not happy because she is human. Nevertheless, he will never let her go – even though he discovers that she is the daughter of his worst enemy. Three little wolves will not be able to take Snow away from him.
Snow on the other hand –unless she is not welcome- really wants to stay with Koda.
Fluffy, cute, short story.
“When it comes to Snow, I know two things are for sure: I’ll never stop loving her, and I’ll never get enough.”

I once read a book about a girl who belonged to a Doc
She escaped once she realised with great shock
That her father was quite evil
Really, just like the devil.
She had to live as a secret
For fear of punching her ticket
This made her Grumpy
Cause she longed for a humpy
From someone who wasn’t so stumpy
So one day she left without being careful
And ran into the woods before getting Sleepy
There she was found by a bear who was Bashful
But upon seeing the size of his pee-pee
Her quivering thighs were ever so grateful.
This book made me Dopey
With feelings of sweetness and love
But I was also quite mopey
Because Koda won’t be giving me a shove
He belongs to his Snow
and it’s not all for show
so instead I must be Happy
about these two being sappy
They say an orgasm is akin sternutation
so let me say with adoration
and without wanting to sound sleazy
This book had me rather Sneezy
One last passing thought on a dwarf
Into Mr Martin I’ll empty my canister
If he dares kill off Tyrion Lannister
And throw him right over the wharf.

A perfect little smutty shifter book. Short and sweet. Not a lot of drama but hell who needs it?! It's been overdone before. The hero Koda we have seen from The lost slipper from Alexa Riley and is the brother of Winnie a bear shifter. He is big and strong trying to recover from being held captive and abused for many year by the heroine's father. She escapes at 11 and makes her way in life thanks to a group of wolves shifters. Who she sees and sees her as brothers and sister. Snow is a great name and I love the way he tells her that is they have a daughter they would call her snow. "Because there is nothing I love more then snow." Ahhhhh man I want a Koda! This was awesome. Worth the read and a keeper for me.

My only criticism is that it was too short and I wish there was more to the story. A little more build up to the romance would be nice, some more tenderness in the loving scenes, and a bit more conflict would make it a 5 star.
I know Alex Riley is a unique read but I know from her other books she can do what I described above. Lassoing the Virgin and Riding Red both had elements which are lacking in this one. And I gave both those reads 5 stars.
I still enjoyed Finding Snow, it was a nice break from the usually angsty trigger inducing reads I come across.
