Christmas Bears #3
Wrapped
Asher has taken on numerous roles while working undercover, but this might be his most difficult yet, because it involves family. Not his family, he never knew his own mom, and spent his early years in foster homes—until he ran away, knowing he was different, and afraid of how bad that different was. One man saved him, one man took him in and taught him what it was to be a shifter. One man, Carlisle, who accepted him, even though he is a wolf, and Asher is a bear.
Now, Carlisle, the man who became his adoptive father, wants him to help figure out what happened to Jeremiah, the alpha of his old pack in Timber Rest, who is lying in a coma. But Carlisle hasn’t been back there for years, and things change. Will they be welcomed, or run out of town? Especially when the pack find out that Asher is a bear shifter.
Kelli has been asked by her aunt to help figure out what happened to her uncle, the pack leader, Jeremiah. She travels to the pack home of Timber Rest immediately, no one can ignore the call, even if she was supposed to be lying on a hot beach somewhere with her girlfriends.
When Asher and Kelli meet, their attraction is intense, and their true mate bond can’t be ignored. But they have work to do, and together the aim to work out what happened to Jeremiah, and how to get him out of his mysterious coma.
However, neither of them are prepared for what is revealed in a cave, high up in the Mistletoe Mountains.
A leprechaun, and a fairy, no less. This is Wrapped, after all, you didn’t expect normal, did you?

A fun way to close out the trilogy! I enjoyed these bears and their mates quite a bit.
The Gist: An alpha has slipped into a coma and something seems fishy. When Asher and Kelli are both asked to come investigate they find more than they bargained for...they find their one true mate.
I had a good time with these two. Asher and Kelli are so similar. Both adopted, familiar with loss, police detectives. Though he's a bear and she's a wolf. They had the whole fated mates thing happening for them but the romance was really understated for most of the book.
The mystery took front seat here and was nicely done. The hunt for a potential threat among the various wolf packs, a family in crisis. It had some nice adventure to it.
All in all, not a bad way to end my 2018. I loved the epilogue and how it brought things full circle for this trio of bears who were best friends and all searching for their happily ever afters.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN CHRISTMAS MAGIC? FAIRIES? LEPRECHAUNS? SANTA AND MRS. CLAUS?
OMG!!!! WHAT AN ENDING TO THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS FANTASY!!!! HARMONY RAINES SCORES 10,000 STARS FOR A PERFECT ENDING!!!!
“Wrapped” is just another reason why Harmony Raines is at the top of my favorites list. She is not scared to let her imagination soar! I kept trying to figure out how she was going to top an elf, reindeer shifters, fairy godmother, Krampus, and Santa and Mrs. Claus? Well she sure as hell did it. I never dreamed of her using fairies and leprechauns. I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next Christmas. This makes two Christmas series that she has knocked out of the ball park. She is sure going to have her work cut out for her next year. I laughed till I cried, and didn’t put the book down till I had finished it. Trust me when I say you do not want to miss the wonderful Christmas story.
Asher is a bear shifter and a detective who does a lot of undercover work mostly because he doesn’t want to go home to a house without his mate. He is still looking for her. But little does he know that fate is going to step in (and maybe a little magical help from Mrs. Claus) and take him right to his mate. His adoptive father Carlisle, who happens to be a judge, is a wolf shifter saved him from the streets and taught him what it was like to be a shifter and how to control it. Now Carlisle wants him to play is most important role ever. He is to be Carlisle’s son. That shouldn’t be too hard since he is, but the catch is they are going Carlisle’s home town of Timber Rest. Carlisle wants Asher to help him figure out what happened to the alpha of his old pack who resides in Timber Rest who is in a coma. Carlisle has not been back there for years. Asher is worried that they may not be accepted in Timber Rest since he is a BEAR!!! How will Asher help Carlisle if they are run out town because he is bear shifter?
Kelli is a police detective and her aunt has called her home. She is needed to help figure out what happened to her uncle Jeremiah who is in a coma and is the pack Alpha. She was supposed to go on vacation with some friends to the beach, but she couldn’t ignore the call from her Aunt. Kelli is talking to her Aunt, brother, and cousin when Carlisle and Asher enter the house. Kelli soon feels something change in the atmosphere and she is faced with her mate. Asher also notices there is something about the atmosphere in the house and he is just as surprised as Kelli when they both realize they are mates.
With both Asher and Kelli being detectives they must work together to solve the mystery behind her uncle being in a coma and how he got that way. The biggest thing they must figure out is how to get him out of that coma before it is too late. In the quest for answers Asher and Kelli travel to Mistletoe Mountain where her Uncle was found in a coma. They find a cave not far from the sight and they are shocked at they find in the cave…. who would have thought that leprechauns and fairies are real? Follow the journey of Kelli, Asher, the leprechaun, and the fairy as they search for answers.

Christmas Magic
Perfect Christmas story told by the Incredibly talented, Author Harmony Raines. It's full of magic, suspense, mystery, family, love and hot sex.
Asher is lonely and longingly wishing to find his mate. It's Christmas time and instead of making plans to be with family, he's planning to drown himself in work to combat the lonely feelings. Unexpectedly, Asher's adoptive father calls to ask for his help. Asher is a werebear and was all alone when Carlisle, a werewolf, found him as a teen and took him in. Now, Carlisle's pack alpha is in trouble and all the wolf packs in the area could go to war with each other if things aren't fixed. When Carlisle and Asher arrive at the alpha's home, Asher is shocked to discover Kelli, his fated mate. The Alpha is her adoptive father (her uncle) and she has come home to help with the family crisis. Both Asher and Kelli are police detectives and agree to work together to solve the mystery and save the pack. They have their work cut out for them, that's for sure. Jeremiah, the alpha, is in an unexplained coma and it hints of magic and foul play being involved. But who would dare hurt Jeremiah? All the surrounding packs have to obey their Alpha and show him their absolute loyalty. They wouldn't dare harm him would they? Hopefully Asher and Kelli will solve the mystery and keep peace among the packs.

**********Contains Spoilers**********
This was probably my favourite book of the series. I really enjoyed this book I liked the connection between Kelli and Asher, and thought that they were great together. Asher goes undercover as himself when asked by his adoptive dad Carlisle who has been asked by his old flame Bella Marie to come home when her mate Jeremiah and the Alpha Prime goes into a coma with no explanation and she thinks someone purposely hurt him and who better to find out what happened to him than a judge and an undercover cop who also happens to be an outsider so will find it easier to look at all angles since he wont know any of the suspects. Fate sure knew what it was doing by matching these two together as two cops are way better than one for investigating what happened to Jeremiah. Kelli who believes in the possibility of magic being involved in Jeremiah being in a coma and Asher who doesn’t so they’ll each come look at the investigation from two different sides, magic vs non-magic. I’d recommend this book, series, universe and author to everyone.

Amazing paranormal mystery for the holiday.
This is a continuation of a series but with a twist. Asher is an undercover cop and bear shifter who was adopted by a wolf shifter judge. His father received a message from a former girlfriend who is the mate of pack Alpha. The alpha was in a coma with no underlying causes.
Kelli is also a cop, wolf shifter, and untutored witch. Her father is the pack Alpha. She is also Asher's mate. They are trying to solve the mystery of her father's coma before losing control of the pack with the help of two unique paranormal. You'll have to read the book to find whodunit.
This charming Christmas story has interesting characters that has drama, mystery, humor, and some sexy scenarios which make the book worth reading for pure enjoyment. The book is up to the imaginative author's usual standards. Highly recommended.

Hmm...................
I have read a lot of books by this author. All require a suspension of belief to really enjoy each one. And that's fine. But this one was too far out there. The emphasis was on magical creatures, but very little on shifters. I am unsure it was worth my time.

Kelli and Asher
This is a very goo, well written, holiday, fantasy, shifter romance with some action added. The characters are lovable and well developed. Magic is a major part of this story. Please read in order to better understand but it is not necessary. Read and enjoy.

This is one of the wildest most fun series I've ever read. I could definitely get behind a world where magic and good were in it. Definitely recommend this series.

Really loved the first two books. Was bit disappointed in this story. It did not have quite the same humor and spirit as the other two and parts were not as interesting. The Prime Alpha is in a comma and no one knows what happened. It is again set in Mistletoe mountain. Asher, a bear shifter and his adoptive father go up to help the family find out what happened to the shifter. He happens to meet his mate who is a wolf shifter. Even though there was magic in it.

So it might just be me, but I was TOTALLY into this book, right up to when the leprechauns and fairies showed up. It just got weirder from there... ask me how? One word: Santa.

A lovely read for this third book in this series and I believe the last one too.
Our third and final mate less bachelor Asher gets his longed for mate and one hard to believe crazy story. As an undercover detective he has seen and done a lot but reality is harder to believe.
Kelli is also a police detective but instead of sunning herself on vacation with her girlfriends she has to race home to her wolf pack for a family emergency.
Less Christmas themed in this book which is a pity but one hell of a good story with fairies, leprechauns and of course Mr and Mrs Claus make an appearance.
I loved that Carmichael, Asher's adopted dad, also found his mate but we do not get any details in this book.
