These polar bear shifters aren’t clowning around…

When curvy Lauren goes to the Bear Buns night club with her friends, the last thing she expects to find is true love, but she knows the minute she sees Blaze and Hale’s chests that she’s their fated mate. The only problem? Blaze has been burned before, and there’s a evil killer clown stalking Lauren.

Hot as Hale...or cold as Blaze…?

To help their friend Katherine through her divorce, Lauren and Darla take Katherine to Seattle’s most famous strip club, Bear Buns. The Bear Buns dance club is a male strip club featuring an all shifter revue. Their most famous dancers? Six pairs of bears, The Twelve Dancing Bears, who are looking to make connections with six special ladies. That’s right. All six pairs of bears want a menage romance...except Blaze, the bad boy member of the Polar Bear Buns dance duo, is close to giving up on finding a fated mate. When sassy Lauren’s on stage with him, he doesn’t give her the time of day. Lauren doesn’t take attitude from anyone, and makes it clear Blaze is going to have to earn her curves back...even if it means Hale has to handle Blaze’s bear.

The only problem? Menages get messy...especially when there’s a creepy clown on the loose.

Icy blonde polar bear shifter Hale is all about pleasing Lauren, but the darker blonde Blaze is his polar opposite, and is not ready to love again so easily. Lauren’s not about to let Blaze treat her like anything other than his BBW fated mate, but can Lauren forgive Blaze in her moment of need? Can Blaze overcome his commitment issues? Or are these two polar werebears about to get iced out by the curviest girl they’ve ever met? And what in frikkin’ tarnation is going on with these creepy stalker clowns...and will the bears take care of them, once and for all?

Find out...in "Polar Bear Buns", a full length standalone 25,000 word novella with no cliffhangers, featuring a guaranteed happy ending. This is the second book in a brand new Sable Sylvan fairy tale romance series, "The Twelve Dancing Bears", featuring six pairs of bears who are looking for their fated mate. All books are set at the Bear Buns strip club, a place where fate brings together mates, and the male entertainers are focused on worshiping women. Things get hot and heavy fast, but can these guys prove that they have more to offer than rock hard bodies?

All books in the series feature a BBW's sensual curves as a hot and spicy menage, featuring male on male scenes, bisexual male/female scenes (yes, where the guys touch), and of course, three-on-ones that are all about the lady. Like all Sable Sylvan books, they are full length standalone novellas, at least 25,000 words (100 pages) long, with no cliffhangers, a guaranteed HEA, no cheating on the parts of the heroes, and of course, fated mates, true love, and fairy tale magic...at least if fate has anything to do with it.

The only thing I love more than reading hot paranormal romances is writing down my fantasies and sharing them with readers like you. My heroes are strong alpha male bear shifters who can be grizzly and gruff at times...but when it comes to their fated mates, they're absolute teddy bears. My curvy heroines are strong, sassy women, which is why the werebear men who love them will do anything for their love.

Author: Sable Sylvan
Reviewer: Ingrid Stephanie Jordan
Genre:#Menage #PolarBearShifters #Triad
My Score:   #5Stars☆☆☆☆☆

Ms. Sable should be doing the happy dance. Well maybe it's the twelve dancing bear pole dancing. That's right she did another fantastic Menage wow this was really good I enjoyed it, the clowns @#$%%$ everything else was good.
     Lauren and her friend Diedra decided to take Katherine out on the town because she just got done with a nasty divorce and let's face it Lauren well she broke, get back together and they broke up with her, they were Tiger Menage but she wasn't there fated mate so they would drop her again just one big seesaw so she just finally quit that was it and yeah she's pretty depressed about it. So when Diedra said go to Bear Buns oh yeah she was in. Being the Princess for the first act was an eye opener.
    Blaze and Hale were Polar Bear Shifter, they have been dancing for a year now looking for their fated mate but they can't find her and then they brought the lady with the red rose up on stage and everything changed.
     Katherine wasn't ready to date yet, sad and newly divorced make any women shy away but one Lion Shifter had a Big Roar, Yep BIG is good..
     Diedra couldn't believe how the Grizzly Bears made her heart pitter patter when they put on there act. Boy could they dance.
     A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

Lauren has just gotten out of a menage with two tiger shifters who knew she wasn't their mate. So when she goes to Bear Buns to celebrate her friend Katherines divorced, she sees the poster for the polar bears and gets goose bumps. When the show starts, Lauren finds a rose under her seat. That means she gets to go on stage with the polar bears Hale and Blaze. Blaze has been burned before with a menage with hale and was blowing off Lauren. But when he sees her tattoo. They all know they are each others fated mate but, blaze has to show Lauren they can be together. He even protects her from crazy masked clowns appearing in Laurens Windows. Great story. Need to read. Cannot wait for the next installment in this series.

Another great book by Sable Sylvan.

I love that the female characters are curvy women and Lauren is no exception. She is not only curvy but sassy as well. She is a strong woman and will not let anyone give her attitude.

Here she was at Bear Buns which was a strip club that had these hunky shifters. These shifters were looking for their fated mate. They knew they would be exposed to more woman and had a great chance of finding the one. Lauren never dreamed she would of been chosen.

Hale and Blaze where these polar bear shifters. I am not going to say much on their past expect that there was hurt and this is something that Blaze had not gotten over. Even though Blaze was sarcastic I actually loved him. He was an honorable bear shifter and thought the world of his best friend Hale. I think it is important that Blaze will be able to know more about what Lauren when it comes to her past. I loved Hale as well. He was one that balanced out Blaze. Hale had a wonderful personality and was easy to get along with.

I loved the fact that Sable when writing the story added a drawing of the mate mark through out the book. I was surprised and very happy to see it added to the book. Sorry you will have to read the book to find out what the mate mark was.

Lauren is in trouble. She has found out that she has a starker. I love how she is wiling to face fear head on and fight. I also love how when needed her hunky bear shifters are willing to be there by her side.

Blaze has a lot of work cut out for him. After the first meet with Lauren when so wrong he will have to work hard to win her trust. Oh, wondering what happen, well you will need to read the book to find out.

Such a great story. Sable never disappoints.

Polar Bear Buns: A BBW Bear Shifter Ménage Paranormal Romance Novella
The Twelve Dancing Bears, Book 2 by Sable Sylvan

Love lost, love found enter freaky clowns......
Lauren, Katherine and Diedra, besties in all the best ways. And how do besties take care of one another, why to take them to the Bear Buns Club to help them forget about their loses and to entertain new experiences. If it wasn't for the fact that they were trying to cheer up Katherine, Lauren would never be found in a Strip Club, much less a Shifter one. She already had her heart bruised by a pair of Tiger shifters, but when her friends leaned on her she was there for them, just as they were always there for her!
Diedra, as usual has men following her around like bees to honey and when her latest pair invite them back to their club to close out the night, well who can think of a better idea! As they head on over to the club, they realize it isn't just any ole club, but he Seattle's Premier Bear Buns Club. With Gold Card in hand the girls enter the Club for a night of fun, only to find exactly what they were looking for, in a round about way.
Katherine the romantic of the group has always been the one to want to find a man who would love and treasure her for herself and after the messed up divorce she was going through she deserved a bit of spoiling.
Lauren, well life gives and takes away. But could these hunky Polar Shifters be what she needs in life? Especially when Blaze is such a pain in the but about any relationship at all. But when she gets a look at their Mate Marks she knows something that is about to change everything. But what is it with these pesky freaky clowns that seem to be stalking her? Are they a danger to her or just some part of her past that just doesn't know how to let go?
Have these Ladies finally met what fate has set in store for them?
Well with a pair of dancing pairs and a Lion Bartender thrown into the mix, who knows what can be in store for our ladies!
Grab your copy and read as the Bear Buns Bears dance their way into the hearts and hopefully pants of their hopeful mates. Who knew Ménage could be so difficult yet so satisfying. Well done

Entertaining short reads, the author does a better job in this series of breaking up her formula.


Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...

1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.

2 stars... This book was not very good, and I won't be reading any more from the author.

3 stars... This book was ok, but I won't go out of my way to read more, But if I find another book by the author for under a dollar I'd pick it up.

4 stars... I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be on the look out to pick up more from the series/author.

5 stars... I loved this book! It has earned a permanent home in my collection and I'll be picking up the rest of the series and other books from the author ASAP.

Fated Mates

Blaze & Hale are polar bears in “The Twelve Dancing Bears” male review in Seattle. They are looking for their fated mate and may have found her in Lauren. Their Bear instinct is to mate with her. Blaze however, has been burned before and isn’t so quick to jump into this relationship.
Lauren is at the review with her girlfriends to celebrate her friends divorce. She is interested in spending time with the Bears, but first she needs to figure out why there are two clowns creeping around her. Staring in her windows and trying to scare her.
When the boys find out, their protective instincts come out and they will do whatever it takes to protect her.
This story would have gotten more stars from me, but the author uses fairly childish words instead of swear words, but has no trouble spelling out sexual scenes. It was a decent story line and quick read.

Celebrating a friends divorce, Lauren ends up at Bear Bun's Strip Club against her better judgement. Blaze and Hale joined Bear Buns Twelve Dancing Bears to find their true mate, but after being burned Blaze is leary of trying again. When Lauren discovers their mate marks, she is determined to show them she is their match, but she has conditions. Will they be able to find out who her stalkers are? Will Blaze be able to prove he's ready to open up and accept their mate?

Another hit for the Twelve Dancing Bears! This followed along with the shifter menage perfectly. Loved how Lauren wasn't going to just roll over and accept Blaze, that she was determined to make him work for it! Loved how Blaze recognized he was wrong and was willing to work for it. Cannot wait for more!

The second book in her new series The Twelve Dancing Bears, Polar Bear Buns is another fun read from Sable Sylvan. The main characters were very likable & I thought the (polar) opposite attitudes of the bears was a nice twist. Though clowns generally give me the creeps & are one of my own personal fears, Ms Sylvan handle them well in this story. They added just enough menace to make the story interesting without being down right scarey. All in all, this is a great light read.
I voluntarily reviewed this advance reader's copy.

Bear Buns is a special strip club where shifters strip hoping to meet their mate. The stars of the club are the 12 dancing bears who are pairs of bear shifters with matching mate marks. These shifter pairs put on a special show, choosing a woman in the audience who catches their eye. She even gets to participate. If the shifters like their chosen woman, they take her back to their cocktail room where they share their signature cocktails with her. Hopefully they will find their mate just like the grizzly bears.
Lauren and her friends take their newly divorced friend to Bear buns. Lauren instantly falls for the polar bear duo. Hale is ready to choose Lauren as his mate and start their life together but Blaze had given up hope. After a previous bad experience, he is scared to commit to Lauren. Will he be able to give in to his destiny or will he fight it until it is too late.

Fantastic! Have open mind and be 18yrs or older to read this outstanding book.

Strong story line, great characters and plot, a standalone that makes you want to read others in the series. The sex scenes are believable and nothing to be ashamed of. Some kink tastefully done and with correct knowledge. Drama is just hinted at. Great story can't wait to read other stories in the series.

I really enjoyed the elements in this story, although it is fairly similar to book 1 (each are stand alones). I loved the addition of the clowns, it made the story just that little bit more interesting and entertaining to find out who they were.
I loved how Blaze wasn’t all for it at the beginning, I loved how it was a little bit different then the guys being all in right from the start. I enjoyed Lauren, Blaze and Hale

Hale and Blaze the polar bear strippers find Lauren at Bear Buns. Lauren and her friends were out for a night of fun and distraction for broken hearts. Trouble ensues when Blaze gives feisty Lauren attitude when she’s invited back stage. A creepy clowns appears to stalk the girls and that’s when the bears spring into protective mode. Lots of laughs and touching moments. Hot tales a ménage and fated mates. I read this using my KU subscription.

Review

This wasn't as good as the first one but it was decent enough. Here we have two shifters looking for their mate. One was burnt in the past and didn't want to be burnt again. Then we have Lauren who has dated shifters in the past who were not her fated mates. But in the end everyone wins

Adorable

This was one of the books I truly liked with the added feature that one of the bears was not sure he wanted to mate. I like it when they don't rush right into the mating. There needs to be at least a little drama to make a great story and this story delivered that.

Until Next Time.... Tabi

Wow! If you love shifters and hot, hot sex scenes this book is for you. Two hot bear shifters and one beautiful curvy girl. There are two bad clowns that gives the story a little danger, not too scary. If you like a little romance with hot sex scenes, buy this book.

Fun book

This book was kind of fun in a different way. They were actually real buns! What's the story was cute behind it except for the scary clowns which everybody knows it has changed the outlook of people with clowns. What's the story was cute and the love was there.

I couldn't wait to be done. Horrible plot, horrible execution. Just horrible. Shizz is not a word and got really annoying. As did the "clowns". Eye ball roll.

Deidra took her friends Lauren and Katherine to the strip club it was a Shifter strip club The Dancing Bears she had a gold card that allowed the girls the vip treatment and this was the night to take advantage before they ever got comfortable Katherine was already talking to the bartender and it looked like he was pretty interested and then Lauren had a rose under her chair that entitled her to be the Princess for the night and she just happen to be taken with the two Polar bears that were the first up to dance and did they ever she was so taken especially when she saw the mating marks on the Polar bears chest made her realize what could happen. This was a fun and very erotic story. Adult. I was given an advance reader copy to read for an honest review.
