Koala Bear Buns

The Twelve Dancing Bears #6

by Sable Sylvan

These bears are ready to go down under...

The last thing that curvy Natalie thought she’d find at Bear Buns was true love, but just as her friend predicted, Fate was going to have someone fall in her lap…literally. As Natalie held koala shifter Bruce for the first time, in his furry koala bear form, as his dance partner and fellow koala Zach put on a show for her and the Bear Buns audience, she felt a connection.

To earn her love, they’re going to have to spend some koala-tea time with her…

Koala shifters Bruce and Zach have been looking for a fated mate to make their duo a trio. They’ve seen five pairs of dance partners find their fated mates. After all, ‘The Twelve Dancing Bears’ is all-bear-shifter revue focused on finding fated mates to complete menages. Bruce and Zach are from the down under, but that doesn’t mean all they want to do is get down. They want to settle down. When they lay their eyes on the curvy gal who looks like she’d rather be anywhere but Bear Buns, they make it their night’s mission to make her smile…and to get her number. She’s got curves, sass, and fire, so Natalie? She’s perfect for them.

Is she koala-fied to be in a relationship with two dominant, possessive, and all together bad-ass bear shifter best mates…that want to make her their fate mate?

While Natalie is open to the idea of being with two men (who, conveniently, can turn into the most adorable frikkin’ animal in the world), she’s got unfinished business with her ex which keeps her from committing to the two men that she’s sure are meant for her. Even though her ex called off their engagement, he’s still holding the key to her heart…literally. Can Bruce and Zach convince their mate to give their furry Australian butts a chance? Can Natalie let herself be vulnerable and reveal her secret? And most importantly…why are koalas part of ‘The Twelve Dancing Bears’ if they aren’t actually bears?

Find out...in “Koala Bear Buns", a full length standalone 25,000 word novella with no cliffhangers, featuring a guaranteed happy ending. 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.

Check out the rest of the series: read "Grizzly Bear Buns”, “Polar Bear Buns”, “Black Bear Buns", "Cinnamon Bear Buns", and “Panda Bear Buns", and meet all six pairs...of bear buns.

About the author

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 adorable with those koalas!

This is the 6th book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy scenes. I recommend reading them in order because some characters come back, and I think it is nicer knowing their story!

It was a quick read, and I loved it! I love that the koalas’ routine was unique. Koalas are my favorite and maybe I too can get to Australia one day. This story didn’t have as much drama, but the koalas had to work for their mate. This HEA made me smile, and they seem to be my favorite lately!

I highly recommend to any shifter lover who wants a unique world and trios with an HEA!!

3-3.5 stars

This was an enjoyable story. I liked Natalie, Bruce and Zach and their story was nice. This is the first story I've read by this author and while I liked it, I'm not sure if her writing style is for me. There were weird switches between PoVs and some of the language during sex scenes was a little on the flowery side for me. This does fine as a standalone story.

Natalie is a BBW that's recently single. Natalie was engaged until 2 weeks before the story began but caught her fiancee cheating on her and left him. Natalie has some confidence issues and the situation with her Ex didn't help matters.

Bruce and Zach and both from Australia, one from the outback and the other from Sidney. They met while auditioning for Bear Buns and knew they had a connection and must share a fated mate. They moved to Seattle for the job at Bear Buns, hoping to find their mate.

Natalie goes to Bear Buns because her BFF is having her bachelorette party there. She doesn't expect to be interested in any of the dancers but the 2 Koala bear dancers are hot and she seems to have a connection with them...one that they definitely seem to share. Natalie's confidence issues come into play though and there's also a left-over issue with her Ex that's plaguing Natalie. Bruce and Zach have to get past those hurdles to get a serious chance with her and they do. Bruce, Zach and Natalie then start dating and this eventually turns into something more and the trio end the story starting on a HEA together.

This was an enjoyable story. I liked Natalie for the most part. She was fine overall but some of her actions just didn't quite click with me (in a way that's hard to pinpoint). Bruce and Zach were both fine...very nice and obliging to Natalie but not much is said about them outside of their connection with Natalie and their efforts to get her to be their mate. The story was nice and had very little angst. :)

I received this book as an ARC for a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Zach, Bruce, and Natalie. Natalie has just had a horrible break-up with a man she was engaged to. She however has agreed to go with her friend Diana to her bachlorette party at Bear Buns. Natalie has no expectations of finding a shifter or two of her own but agrees for her friends sake to go in with an open mind. While looking through the posters she finds herself drawn to the Koala Bears and can't explain why. Upon meeting them their marks just don't mean anything to her so rather than get hurt again she runs. Can she find a way to open her heart or will she leave all of them without their greatest desire?

Zach and Bruce know the instant that Natalie arrives there is someone there for her. As the show goes on they are sure of it. When she runs though they must be patient and believe that fate knows what it is doing. When they finally get a chance to talk to Natalie they understand why she ran and hope that she will give them a chance. Will they win their girl or will they all be lost forever?

This is a great story in this series. This shows that no matter what you think there is something great out there if you are willing to let it have a chance. There are some great twists in this book that I won't ruin for anyone. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone.

Natalie attends a show at Bear Buns for her friends (Diane) bachelorette party.
Diane is trying to cheer Natalie up after a crushing break-up.
Because of the break-up, Natalie is still a little tender and skeptical about love, relationships and Bear Buns itself.
She doesn't believe that Bear Buns is realistic in finding happily ever afters.
Diane gives her some good advice, about how to be open to receiving love and letting fate work in her favor.

As the show begins, Natalie is brought on stage with the new headliners, two koala shifters Bruce and Zach.
As per Bear Buns, Natalie is taken back to the cocktail lounge but cuts things short.
Her heartache is still fresh and she's just not ready to go there.
Not even with two hot shifters.

But fate and Diane won't be denied.
Diane sets up a meeting for Natalie, Bruce, and Zach.
Natalie tells the guys how her last relationship imploded and her suspicions that her ex-stole the key to a keepsake given to her by her grandmother.
When the guys hatch a plan to retrieve the key, Natalie is able to open her heart enough to give them a shot at wooing her.

Going Down Under!

Natalie really doesn't want to hook up with any guy after being cheated on by the man she thought she loved, but when her BFF takes her to Bear Buns for her bachlorette party she is transfixed by the cuddly Koala's that headline the nights show and figures a one night stand can't hurt only she can't stop thinking about her ex and can't do it. Little does she know she is going to be pulled down under by two very determined Aussie's.

Bruce and Zach are determined to woo the beautiful BBW they catch sight of in the crowd and they are about to show her just how cuddly Koala's can be, no matter how long it takes, or what it takes, even breaking and entering! They are the last of the famous 12 Dancing Bears to find their mate and they are not about to let her slip out of their fingers.

This is the last book in this fun series. Now that the 12 Dancing Bears have found their mates, it's time for a new venue and besides they are going to have to expand because their show has really taken off in spades and shifters from all around the country want a chance to get on that stage and shake their buns for some lucky lady. I can't wait for those!

[Debra Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

I want a koala shifter!!! This is the last book in Sable Sylvan's Twelve Dancing Bears series. Zach and Bruce meet their fated mate, Natalie at Bear Buns. But did it mean that once the three of them met that they would ride off into the sunset? Read the book to see how Fate has some fun with them. Throw in an ex who is who has stolen something very important to Natalie and the story get more intriguing. Will the Koalas manage to help Natalie "get her heart back"? Will Fate give these three their happy ending? Read and find out!!!
This book is another great example of how Sable Sylvan can put a story together that not only has her readers unable to stop reading once they start but also has readers panting to read more books from this author that will keep them entertained throughout the book.
I volunteered to read this book and I am now leaving an honest review of it.

[Linda Levine · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fun paranormal series about shifters who dance at a club in the hopes of finding the woman who is their fated mate. Their mate marks reveal who she is and is their only clue to her identity. It is a menage story where the men know they are destined to share a mate and they also sexually attracted to their male partner. Each story is a standalone but does reference earlier characters and stories. There is a lot of humor in the story too.

You have two Koala bear shifters who are determined to win their mate's heart. Her former boyfriend betrayed her and she is not over that relationship. She came to the club at the urging of her friend who is marrying a shifter. The attraction is strong but it seems like they have a lot working against them. They have to work for her love and help her get over her pain and reclaim her heart.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received.

[Dharia Scarab · Rating 3 out of 5]

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.

Koala's Forever Mate

Bruce & Zach are a pair of Koala's that dance with the male review "The Twelve Dancing Bears". They are the senior pair of bears, looking for their mate at Bear Buns strip club. Natalie is at Bear Buns with her friends after a breakup. She has no intention of meeting anyone, let alone a pair of bears looking for a mate. Then they see each other! The boys are thrilled that they have found her, she needs some time to move on from her past. An ex has kept the key to her heart, an actual key for a heart shaped box from her grandmother. The guys prove their love and loyalty to her by stealing the key back. This was the final story in this series and it was a nice read. The author writes some great steamy scenes too! Check it out today.

[Christina Luberts · Rating 4 out of 5]

Second book I read of the Bear Buns Series. Koala Bears, oh so cute and cuddly. You have Natalie who just had a very bad break up. You have Zach and Bruce who have been at Bear Buns the longest. Natalie best friend is getting married, so they go to Bear Buns for her bridal shower. There's something about the Koala Bears, but Natalie is not ready for a relationship. So Diane sets things in motion and there you go, a start to a curvy girls fated mates. If you enjoy reading 2 men and a curvy women's relationship, you will enjoy this book. I received an arc copy to read and give an honest review.

[Pam · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the pet hates of most Australians is to hear a Koala called a Bear, thank you Sable for recognising that fact and making it clear in the book. I loved this book and now have to go backwards and read all the others in the series.
The story was well written and the characters had depth and stayed true throughout. The concept was interesting and it was a fun book all round with lots of witty conversations. The bedroom scenes were hot and the sites well thought out. It was a quick and easy read.
I would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends as a good erotic comedy with some shifter themes throughout.

I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book.

[Destiny Bridwell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I got this book as an ARC for my honest review and opinion. This is not even close to the first book that I have read by Sable. I love her writing. IT always seems to push the right buttons with readers. I love the Fated Mates. There always seems to be a little twist to it. I love the one in this book. Natalie is throwing a party for her friend Diane. That is how she meets Zach the city boy and Bruce the country boy. They have a little bit of a hard time trying to convince her. Their mate marks mean nothing to her. Even after three months of dating something is still off. Things all change after their night together. What to know what that was...grab a copy and find out....it is good...

[Rebecca Grove · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.
Natalie and her friend are visiting Bear Buns. Natalie is down on Love but her friend predicts that one day love will just drop in her lap. Then a Koala drops in her lap. I was really wondering how the koala shift would work in this story. In the other books, the animals have a big part in the performance but I couldn't figure out what they would do with Koalas. I though their show was very clever. Bruce and Zach really like Natalie and want to make her theirs but Natalie has a lot of luggage from her past relationship. Can Bruce and Zach help her move on? Also she has no clue what their mating marks mean. Does this mean she isn't their mate?

[Rebecca Stigers · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've read everyone of these bear buns stories and never thought that there would be Pandas but this author surprised me! Jet and Onyx didn't expect to find their mate until Ashley makes h er way in with her friends. She's not sure if she believes in fated mates...and she's been burned by a jerk...so what does she do ? She says nope no way! The guys have their hands full ...it's a good read like all Ms Sylvans's stories.

[Racy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just love this series. Not only are you getting the shifter thing going on but you are getting the male stripper thing as well. Two fantasies rolled into one. WOW!!! how amazing is that.

Natalie Rowe was with a friend bachelorette party at Bear Buns. She could not help but think of her ex and the mistakes she made over and over. Her ex owned her heart and she did not did not think she would ever get over it. Well here was her chance to forget all about her problems and concentrate on her friend Diane.

When I first saw this was going to be a koala shifter I was not sure how well I would like it. I have read all kinds of shifter books but not a koala shifter book yet. I was curious to see the direction the author would take. Well let me tell you Sable does not disappoint.

Zachary and Bruce were not only this sexy hunky men but they were shifters as well. They were koala shifters. They had this fun loving side to them and love to joke and have a good time. They made the story very interesting.

Natalie was truly battling. She had the fear of losing them if she was not their mate. I imagine this had to be the fear of a lot of women when they truly started falling hard for a shifter. What if they were not the one. I did love how it was like something deep within Zachary and Bruce that made them know she was the one. It was like they did not doubt if for a second. These two gorgeous men truly won me over on Koala shifters.

This is an amazing series and truly love the thought of the concept of Bear Buns. Yip if there was such thing as shifters and a place like Bear Buns around I am sure us women would be storming the place every night.

To be honest at first I had to wrong thought about what she was talking about but dang was I wrong in a good way ! For me this story is going on my favorite book list ! How the guys and Natalie hooked up the first time was so sweet to hold a Koala bear wow ! Well written and very involving Sable Sylvan ! I am now a fan for life !! Go Bear Buns !

I'm sorry to see this series end. I have loved this books just as much as the others. It ends the series in a good place. Hopefully Sable Sylvan will come book to Bear Buns sometimes, just to check in with the mates and find some more mates. I love this books and I would recommend it to other people.

Koala shifters

Cute story about shifters trying to find their fated mates. Story flowed so seemed in no time was done reading it. Would read more by this author. Took a star off as some of the descriptions for sexual parts and actions caused me to pull it of the flow now and then.

[ChristinaB.reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

This last book in The Twelve Dancing Bears series didn’t quite grab me like the previous 5 books. It was still a quick read although there was just something that fell a little flat for me. I loved the characters especially Bruce and Zach and how cute, sweet and caring they were, not to mention everything they did for Natalie.
2.5 stars

Natalie had a bad breakup and wasn’t ready to trust let alone find her fated mates. Zach and Bruce patience and support let her learn to trust again. Great heartwarming story. This trio connected on multiple levels to complete each other. Gorgeous men to cuddly koala’s to retrieval specialists. Great way to end the Twelve Dancing Bears series.

[Diane Vice · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sable Sylvan has done it again! She has brought us full-on into the lives of two more dancers at Bear Buns. Bruce and Zach may be cute little koalas when they shift, but they're also hot, sexy dancing men to boot. Natalie has just gotten out of a bad relationship, and she's looking for nothing but fun. She also has some unfinished business with her ex. Can the three of them get on the same page and find their happily ever after? You should definitely read to find out!

Koala Bear Buns: A BBW Bear Shifter Menage Paranormal Romance Novella
The Twelve Dancing Bears Book 6
by Sable Sylvan
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a fun paranormal series featuring bear shifters who dance at a strip club while looking for their fated mate to finish their triad. This is heartwarming, swoony, and sexy as you want it to be. I'm so sad this is the last Bear Buns book in this series. I have enjoyed reading Sable books. This story features Natalie, Bruce and Zach. Natalie hasn't completely gotten over her ex even though he called off their engagement. Bruce and Zach are from the down under and they are Koala Bear shifters, the only clue to their mate identity is the tattoos that is their mate marks that will reveal who she is. Zack and Bruce had to work harder to earn Natalie's affection because her ex is still holding the key to her heart. What a different that makes the story complete, is the quest that the koalas must finish before they can claim their mate.An amazing emotional rollercoaster ride with plenty of action packed into their struggles to get their HEA. I enjoyed reading their story. Its well written and the scenes are fabulous. I couldn't stop reading, there is a lot of humor and romance in the story. Each story is a standalone but the previous characters are part of the story. I voluntarily reviewed this book, because I love sharing my thoughts with my fellow readers!
