The Twelve Dancing Bears #4

Cinnamon Bear Buns

Rate this book
Sugar, spice, and everything fur-bidden… Kimberly Matherson's the curviest freshman in her hall group at Washington College Seattle, but the last thing she expects? For a one night stand at the Bear Buns strip club to turn into something more. But the last thing she wants in her life? More drama. No points for guessing exactly what she gets, in the form of a bisexual menage featuring not just Kim and the cinnamon bear shifters Jace and Gabe, but love, fate, and secrets. Cinnamon bears have spicy secrets… Jace and Gabe, the two stars of The Twelve Dancing Bears all-shifter revue, hosted at the Bear Buns strip club, aren't just cinnamon bears looking to share a fated mate…they're professors. Kim's professors, to be exact. Jace is Prof. Jason Clark, and he teaches Kim's freshman English course, while Gabe is Prof. Gabriel Johnson, the chemistry bad boy who's known for his grizzly attitude. Both are campus heartthrobs who've never been associated with a student…at least, until now. The two doctoral candidates teach in exchange for free tuition, but the last thing they expected to find? True love, in the form of the sexy coed who eluded their grip after being scared away after their one night stand. Of course, word travels fast, and when word gets out that Kim's the fated mate of the two most handsome shifters on campus, all heck breaks loose, thanks to a gaggle of mean girls. The only thing that burns stronger than love is fire… Faced with the realization that the two strippers who are sure she's their fated mate are also her professors, the last thing Kim needs is to lose everything, but that's exactly what happens, literally, when her dorm is set on fire. The last thing she expects to see through the smoke? Two giant cinnamon colored bears, making their way towards her, ready to carry her to safety. With her housing and her possessions incinerated, the werebears give Kim an offer that might just be too sweet for her to refuse… Who set the fire and why? Can Kim learn to accept help from others after being burned before? What will happen when word gets out that she's dating her professors? Will Kim, Jace, and Gabe get their happy ending…or will they get an 'F' for 'Failure'? Find out…in Cinnamon Bear Buns, a full length standalone 25,000 word novella with no cliffhangers, featuring a guaranteed happy ending. This is a bear shifter BBW paranormal romance featuring a bisexual romance in a new adult/college setting, featuring a romance between not just a BBW and two bear shifters, but a student and her two professors, who also happen to be male strippers…and volunteer firemen.This is the fourth 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.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!

The cover is another great one with both sets of beasts and purple! And who knew about Cinnamon Bears, not me!

This is the 4th book in the series! It is again for adults only due to the steamy ménage content. The books can be read in any order, but if you love Sable’s work, you won’t want to miss any of them.

This story has plenty of action and drama to keep you engaged. I love how this one showed you can’t get away from fate! Kim probably handled this much better than I would because I would be freaked out, but I won’t tell you why! You need to read it! I love how each book has a happy ending.

I highly recommend this book to all the readers who love triads with bear shifters. This one is another of my favorites of the series thus far!

Kimberly Matherson, curvy and freshman in WCS, just wanted a night of no strings-attached, no drama, fun at the Bear Buns Club and if it was with the sexy hot shifters, the better. Jace and Gabe, as all the Twelve Dancing Bears, were searching for their mate and the lion shifter had given them a hint. Surprise, incredulity and reject was the cocktail of the night and even more surprises the day after. Strong and smart woman, Kimberly upbringing had made her mistrustful. She had her fantasies but thought a girl with her baggage could not expect somebody to care enough for her. That was until they showed her how wrong she was. This was a very entertaining story with interesting twists, detailed narrations, and some dialogs heavy with emotions that made me think and feel with Kim. There was intrigue, suspense, romance, hot sex and interesting secondary characters that added to the story. Each time these stories are more elaborated with some mystery and non-expected situations. I like them very much and they keep me interested and eager for more.

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.
Kimberly is a curvy freshman at the local university. School is just starting and the stuck-up girls on her floor chose to visit Bear Buns. Her hallmates have been making fun of her since school started but they are shocked when the Cinnamon Bears, Gabe and Jace chose her to be their queen. Jace and Gabe are sure Kimberly is their mate and the convince Kimberly too. However she is not ready to settle down yet so she runs.
The next day she starts her college classes. Imagine her surprise when she sees that her English professor is Jace. He tries to talk to her after class to get another chance but Kimberly has to get to chemistry class. In Chemistry she is shocked to find Gabe is her professor. Will Gabe and Jace convince her to give them a chance? Will she realize that she doesn't have to give up her dreams to be with her mates?

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.

Cinnamon Bear Buns is a fun paranormal romance by Sable Sylvan. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited time for reading. It's also a M/F/M menage so it may not be for everyone. Kimberly, as part of her college freshman orientation, goes to Bear Buns, a shifter strip club. Jace and Gabe recognize Kimberly as their mate but after a wild time, she goes back to her college. Their story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle and is a fun read. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from Sable Sylvan in the future. Cinnamon Bear Buns is book 4 of The Twelve Dancing Bears Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I voluntarily read a complimentary copy of this book that I received from Instafreebie. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Fighting Fate

Jace & Gabe are handsome Cinnamon Bears who are part of Seattle’s male review “Twelve Dancing Bears”. They meet their fated mate, but she is young and not ready for her fate.
Kim went to Bear Buns with her college classmates, planning to enjoy the night and nothing more. She never expected to meet two bears who insist she is their mate. Kim is eighteen and a freshman at school, she is definitely not ready for a relationship!
Surprises come on her first day of class, making things odd and a bit uncomfortable for Kim.
This story was much more well written and I enjoyed it. Kim is feisty, but Jace & Gabe are good for her! They have steamy chemistry to go along with the story!

Cinnamon Bear Buns by SABLE SYLVAN

The next addition to this series by SABLE SYLVAN. I enjoyed the bear shifters immensely but I wasn't able to connect with her because she just seemed to harsh at times when they were trying to get their mate to see what it means to them. Well I'm going to be reading about the next addition to this series. SO DEFINITELY CHECK OUT FOR YOURSELF AND ENJOY IT TOO!

Cinnamon Bear Buns

I love this series. Kim goes to Bear Buns with her BFF Tasha. She is taken to the stage by Gabe and Jace. They are the Cinnamon bear shifter strippers and Kim's professors in two of her college classes. Someone sets fire to Kim's dorm knowing she is the only one on her floor. There are small issues that crop up but her fated mates, Gabe and Jace are always there for her. Such a wonderful book with lovely surprises.

Kim is practically dragged to Bear Buns club but has a great but puzzling encounter with two cinnamon bears. She initially runs from the whole “fated mates” thing as she’s just started college. Gabe and Jase are her mates and go above and beyond to claim Kim and prove they are great guys who will look after her. I loved the Karmic smack down and look forward to the next book. I read this using my KU subscription.

The cinnamon bear duo are strippers at the Bear Buns club. Kimberly is a freshman at college, and orientation week has ended in a visit to the club. Jace and Gabe spot her with her friend, and the game is on, especially when her two suitors turn out to also be her college professors. Great read. (I voluntarily reviewed this free Advance Reader Copy.)

I fairly enjoyed this read. It felt a little different to the previous books in the series but it was very much along the same lines as them. I enjoyed these 3 characters together especially Jace and Gabe, I loved the twist and when Kim first found out they were her professors.
It was quick and fast paced

Cinnamon bear buns is the best one in this series . I loved reading this and can't wait to read more from this author. I actually wasn't sure if the characters would work together but somehow the student - teacher angle is perfect with these characters

Meh...

Sometimes I swear these books are written by 2 different people. Compared to th other books in this series, this book sucked. The story seemed rushed compared to the other books, and just sloppy as far as the storyline and editing.

Entertaining read

An entertaining read that's a page turner. You've got shifters, firefighters and professors all in one. There's quiet a few moments that'll have you laughing out loud. You'll even get a few twists and surprises.

I bet everyone wishes that freshman year could end so well. It may have been a bit bumpy on the way, but it ended with A+. Hot and steamy from the start.

This is book 4 in the Twelve Dancing Bears series and it holds true to form cause it's just as great as the previous books. The female lead in this story is Kim, she's getting ready to start her freshman year in college and has a difficult year ahead. She becomes friends with Tasha, they appear to be the only curvy girls in the dorm. They decided to go on a night out before the school year starts and off to the Bear Buns Club they go. The bear shifters are Jace and Gabe, who are cinnamon yummy. And you'll have to read the story to find out the rest. The story is fun, sweet, spicy and has sex. Great story, definitely recommend.
