Shifter Country Bears: The Complete Series
Over 400 pages of steamy shifter romance!
Things are different in Shifter Country.
Bear shifters don’t mate in pairs - they mate in triads, with two men for every woman. These shifter couples only need one thing to be complete - their fated mate.
First are Ash and Hunter, who fall hard for the beautiful, curvy Cora - only to find out that she’s on the run, and it might be up to them to save her.
When Julius and Hudson meet Quinn, they’re smitten instantly, and she can’t stop thinking about the sexy lawyer and his ex-con mate. Too bad her parents are rabid anti-shifter activists, and they’ll stop at nothing to keep them away from her.
Kade and Daniel live alone, deep in the woods, and they spend most of their time as bears - the better to keep their dark pasts hidden. That is, until they meet Charlotte, the human girl who melts their hearts… and who has a mission of her own.
It’s been years since Jasper and Craig met their mate, only to never see her again. When she shows up suddenly in town, they both know they’ll do anything to make her theirs for good, no matter what it takes.
And finally… Austin has a secret. A huge, life-altering, toe-curling secret.
This bundle contains all five Shifter Country Bears A Bear’s Protection, A Bear’s Nemesis, A Bear’s Mercy, A Bear’s Journey, and A Bear’s Secret.

Excitingly Naughty
This definitely opened my eyes to a new style of writing\reading.
Roxie took my imagination to a different level as she shared a different side of menage to what I was used to but still had me intrigued enough to keep going right to the end. Thank you for an enjoyable read.

I love poly/ bi romance and the these stories were fantastic. A lot of plot for shorter stories and a little spicy goodness.
I liked the idea of shifter triad mates, it was an interesting concept presented in a unique way. In every book, there was an already established MM mated couple. They are always totally happy together yet, still missing the female component to their triad.
While the stories had more plot than I expected, there were a few things missing for me. I completed this series of 5 stories mostly because they were somewhat interconnected. You meet at least 1 character of the next book plus there’s a loose over arching plot to tie them all together. Basically I was driven to keep reading to learn more about the briefly mentioned characters and to wrap up the overall plot.
Unfortunately I didn’t feel like the overall plot is wrapped up and I suspect it continues in the next series of wolf shifter books.
While there’s probably more than enough spice and fated-mate romance for most readers, I was left wanting more. There was only 1 triad spice scene, plus (usually but not always) 1 MM scene with the already established couple. I wanted more. But mostly, if I put myself in the female position, I would have needed more dialog about what was happening. These are established MM couples and along comes a human female (in 4/5 cases) who knows very little about shifter culture except that MOST are triads (we have to assume that ALWAYS means MMF). BUT if I was out and met a pre-existing committed gay couple, I would never assume some light flirting meant they were bi and open to third/ female, not “let me make out with them and quickly have sex with them”. I felt like I definitely would have needed more dialog, like “we aren’t just swingers, your our third fated mate”😂🤷♀️ I don’t just walk up to a gay couple and start kissing up on them😂 but maybe it’s just me. The shifters knew right away that she was the one, but the human female would have been in the dark about it and would be wondering what these guys were up to. IMO anyway…..

Great series!
Roxie really nailed it! The men are such a great mix of alpha, tender, emotional, hard, and soft. The women are just the right amount of vulnerable and fierce and sassy! They'll make you tingle all over when they make love! Books like these make me wish shifters were real or at a minimum more men were like these men! I'd take two for sure!

Ah god, these bears just want to be loved! Ah god, it's bisexual bear menage! Ah god, my heart can't take it! I loved this one.

At times it would feel repetitive, in the fourth book we get to understand bear shifting, feel like there where some things left in the air, but in overall it was fun reading.

My chubby fingers hit the Buy This Book button before my brain realized it wasn’t a Kindle Unlimited title. Then I couldn’t figure out how to return the book on my phone and was too lazy to open up my laptop. So I thought, what the hell? Imagine my delight when, on practically the first page, I realize these are BISEXUAL WEREBEAR MENAGE novellas! Ok, so none of the werebears were lumberjacks, but you can’t have everything.
The first story is the least interesting, to me, but that means very little. Each of these novellas was compelling, emotional, funny, and well plotted– even the ones I liked a little less than the others. Character development was as important to the story as the sexual chemistry. And while these are fated mate stories, there were times where I sincerely wondered if I would get an HEA. Amazing!

Running with wolves - book 1
Greta is a she-wolf, owns and runs the tooth and claw saloon.
Elliott moved back home with his mate Shane. They run into each other at the bar and feel an instant attraction that make their wolves howl.
Elliott is very smart and is a professor at Cascadia state but being part of a wolf pack it's frowned on to be smart
Zeke on the other hand is not happy about two other wolves moving in on what he thinks his his territory.
The characters are really great in this one (they have depth to them) lots of spice, drama and then there it Zeke lol
Do not miss this story. I love it
Betting on wolves -book 2
Some times what happens in Vegas doesn't stay there! I soooooo Love it.
Houston and Jack went of vacation to Vegas to see the casinos, Rodeo, and other night life were plenty of woman to have fun with. They were at a point in their lives they not sure if the women ment to complete them would show up until that very night SHE walked in the bar and no other women bit her mattered.
Kristen wanted to get a fun place to spent time with her friends after her divorce but her friends dragged her to Las Vegas to have a divorce party. She never thought this trip would be anything more then keeping up with her friends. Boy was she wrong! Two wolves are on the Hunt for their mate.
Loved this one. When things are just right and ment to be it will be. I can't wait to see what in the next book. This one was super fun!
Fighting wolves - book 3
Dante is a wolf shifter police detective and he just got called in on his first murder case. It was the first murder in Rustuale in 10 or 20 years. Crimes like that just didn’t happen in there little town. When he gets to the scene and meet the witness he is very sure this woman is the 3rd to complete his mate and him.
Grey can't believe she found a dead body! But meeting detective sexy made it not seem so bad. To bad she can't tell him were she was really coming from when she found the body because she might get in trouble.
The next night she just can't help herself she has got to back and gamble again. Only this time she meets Isaac, who just happens to be Dane's mate. After meeting her he sure she it the one and can't wait to tell Dane.
Far more to this great story I can't tell ya everything it would wreck it lol. It's super fun with its saspence, mystery, and drama. I love the characters they see so real! If your a shifter fan looking for extra spice give this book a try.
Uncaging wolves - book 4
Scarlet had been arrested with the ponderosa wolf pack for hate crimes and plans to take over she was sent to Cascadia state women's penitentiary for years then granted parole.
On her first night out of prison she had to have a little fun so she went to a bar and meet Gavin and Chase.
Later she finds out Gavin is her parole officer. Yea that messed things up.
Lots of drama and spice in this one with great characters. Gavin because of his work puts up walls between them and her. I bit sad. But it is a romance so things work out.
Shifter fans should love this one.
Book given for an honest review and I honestly loved it.

I had initially read the first book and then found out that the rest had come along in this collection. Boy, was I on that. I love Roxie's writing and loved all the books in this collection. Roxie is one hot writer when it comes to bedroom (or sometimes not in the bedroom) time. Love the M/M action too...Hawt!

5 stars!
I love a box set. But a paranormal, polyamorous MMF romance with some suspense is just *chef's kiss*! This set is so steamy it'll fog up your screen, so spicy you'll sweat! A definite one handed read.
