Short shifter insta lust story.
I knew the disgusting wolf from book one would be in this.
As this ends suddenly at the end of chapter 19 with a declaration of war against the wolves, then nothing more, this backstory will obviously continue in book three.
Bit strange that Haley, being a shifter herself, fell for the lies of a man. Especially when she feels the mate bond with Wyatt then acts stupid about staying with Wyatt.
Not quite sure I liked Haley.
Felt she was running away from her problems, rather than take on the married ratbag who got her pregnant. She just walks and lets him get away with everything.
Then she doesn’t listen to her psychic friend’s warning.
Wyatt I liked a lot. He was such a gentleman to that horror of a date woman.
Wanted more for him than what he ends up with.
Read in the box set through Kindle Unlimited.

Meh

The opening was the best; so visceral and in your face horrible. Then as the story progressed, it wasn't as good. Mediocre at best

[Alejandra Guerrero]

It’s bad. Until 60% there's barely any mention of shifters, and I didn’t even know fMC was a shifter, which made me wonder why it has the title it does. Pretty much for all of the book she thinks of herself as human (yes, human, not shifter, not woman, human). And the pregnancy! It was very clear to me the author (authors? The cover I have shows two, but in Goodreads and everywhere else it shows only one) did zero research on pregnancy and had no idea what happens when a person is pregnant beyond some trite stereotypes. The fact she’s a Prima Ballerina is barely a blip, and not relevant to the plot at all. All the shifter stuff happens in one chapter at the end, and could easily be taken out and the scene would have played out in a very similar fashion. And it just ends. In the middle of things. Then just an uninteresting epilogue and that’s it. It’s advertised as a standalone, but it’s not if you have to read other books to get the whole story, which apparently continues with the next book in the series. I’m not gonna read more, this author got into my “authors to avoid” list.

When all seems lost, hope shined in unexpectedly - this is uplifting story. Taking a risk & winning big.

Hailey lost her career and was dead set against any men in her life. Her physic friend tells her adventures opportunity awaits. She gambles with an add and goes to Alaska. Wyatt one of three sterling brothers has been going on endless blind dates and this last one is about the last straw. Colton owes him big time for this colossal date disaster. Wait to Wyatt finds out what is next for Coltons next scheme to get him married and the new Alpha. A shifter romance with great characters. Violence2, sex1

This was the best story in the series for me Wyatt and Haley where very compatible. The antics of Colton made me laugh out loud. Here we have the older brother who has not been able to find his mate. He must do so in order to be alpha of his clan. His younger brother has been matchmaking over and over. No success looks like it will be in the Horizon.

Haley is a ballerina, who is now on the outside of her career, pregnant and running out of funds. Encouraged by an older friend who is a psychic to look at the job classifieds, she does and her life dramatically starts to change.

This was a short but oh so engaging story! The world is intriguing, the characters alive and the storyline riveting. My only complaint is that it is a huge cliffhanger in terms of plot that leaves the reader with a huge gap. You definitely know this is a series, though I wish the overall plot hadn't been left hanging in the wind. Don't worry though, this is a complete and entertaining story with a defined HEA. A great shifter read!

Good read

I like this book solely for the storyline......flamingo shifter (raised eyebrows). However, there`s too much left to one's own assumptions. The ending is too abrupt as well. So much build up but no real fruition on the pending war. The bulk of the story is essentially the middle, but a smoozey, ending doesn't cover the omission of the pack troubles. Still a descent read.

[Violet's Original Views]

Interesting dynamic in the shifter world. I appreciated the different spin and the awe the couple seems to have in realizing they are true mates. It would have been interesting if there had been more story development in regards to the "bad" wolf shifters. In the end, a well written and entertaining story.

[Maryanne R. Marcellin]

Started this one in the morning and finished it in the late afternoon. Loved reading how these two got together and why. Never read a book with a flamingo shifter before, so this was fun. Definite good parts in their coming together. And Wyatt finally speaks about taking the reins as Alpha. A fun and interesting read.

[Elizabeth Renaud]

Such a sweet story!

Thus is book 2 Watt finds his mate....crazy enough she's a Flamingo! The way they find each other is a fluke. A touch of kismet for sure! There is an additional surprise that unexpected, but turns out to be a most welcome one! Loving Candace Ayers' books!

[Jane Elizabeth]

A...

A flamingo in ALASKA? No way! The bears need Wyatt to take over as alpha before the war with Simeon commences...which means yesterday! Only issue is he needs a mate first, and finding his fated mate is not progressing well at all!

[Natasha Y]

Good for a quick happy read

Fast paced. It may be standalone but it's far more interesting if you read the whole series. Elsewise it's a sweet romance with a couple chapters of uninteresting intrigue.

Wyatt is searching

Wyatt is searching for his mate with the help us his brother so he can take over leadership of the clan. Luckily his brother struck gold with Hayley....now to keep the local wolf pack from killing her and her unborn baby

[Dorothy Holness]

Good read

I love this mini series. Wyatt needed a mate but kept coming up empty until Haley came into his life. Now he was ready to take his new mate and ready to become Alpha of the Sterling Clan.

[Linda Leslie]

Enjoyable Read

More good characters, and an enjoyable storyline with some twists and turns. Little editing errors did not distract too much but seriously, a truck is not a car! Lol.

[Tania Rodriguez]

Wow!!!

Wow!!! This book was good. The first book, too, was good but left me wanting a happily ever after, the reason I gave it 4 stars, but this one was really good and enjoyed the ending much more!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

The bear's flamingo bride

Loved the use of an unusual shifter and can't wait to read more so it's a well deserved five stars and I would recommend this book to everyone

[Cindy Burrow]

Fun read

Enjoyed it very much. Colton was way funny trying to find a mate for his brother. Can't wait for Tucker's story.

[Libby]

Fantastic

Wonderful storytelling. This author knows how to weave a tale that keeps you spellbound from start to finish. I look forward to reading more of her amazing stories.

[Shirley Bennett]

A Polar Bear and a Flamingo, who would have thought!!! They are so right for each other!!!

[Vanessa]

Wonderful series

Wyatt & Haley love story is definitely a unique twist on a shifter love story. I have never read a book 📖 about a flamingo and a polar bear before.

[MARIE-CLAIRE DEBONVILLE]

Good read

Wyatt and Haley almost did not get the chance to live their happy forever after But love 💘made it right

[Karen]

Really to short of a story. Within 24 hours two strangers fall in bed together declaring that they are mated. Of course, they love each other even though they know nothing about each other.

[Wanda Grier]

Loved it💖

This second book📙 from this series was interesting! It was filled with family, loyalty, friendship, romance and love💘. What romance reader doesn't love💖 a HEA!

[Madonna G. Jacobs]

Yeah I really enjoyed all the stories in the book. It gives you a chance to read new authors books.

Thank you loved the book. Each were fun. And it let you see different writers styles. Truly good stories, loved it

[Anette De Villiers]

This series just keeps getting better. Loved the book. What a perfect couple Wyatt and Haley make - and it was all written in the cards

[Terry Sasada]

Love it. How can you not fall in love with Wyatt Sterling? He is a gorgeous Polar bear shifter that just wants to find the one woman for himself. His mate. Thanks to his brother Colton, and a bit of devious planning he meets Haley. She answers an ad and comes all the way to Alaska to his "companion" not realizing she herself was going to find her mate. How can he accept her... she is a flamingo shifter that prefers the heat and she is pregnant? Great story with everything including terrifying action that has been boiling over since the first book, The Billionaires Bride. It is not resolved yet but the book can be read as a stand alone book.

[Sarah Justi]

I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book. Wow! Candace Ayers has quickly become a favorite of mine. Wyatt and Haley's book is charming. It's short but long enough to give you all the information you need. I loved it!
