Andre by V. Vaughn:
I am glad to see a separate series brought out that has something to do with Tori’s sisters.
Vanessa finds out that her sister Tori is now a werebear and that she herself is half werebear. This is something that Vanessa is not sure she wants. It is sort of freaking her out.
Andre who is a polar bear shifter knows the moment he meets Vanessa that she is his true mate. He is one that does not really talk much and I am not certain he truly knows how to put in words of what he if feeling.
I just loved Ginny the other sister of Tori and Vanessa. Ginny is so open minded and so accepting of what is going on around her. Fate pretty much used her to make sure that Vanessa and Andre got more time together.
Seems that Andre has his work cut out for him. Will he win Vanessa’s heart?
Tempt me Cowbear by Liv Brywood:
The Curvy Bear Ranch Series is a series I hold dear to my heart. Each story is truly amazing. So when I was given the chance to listen to the audio I jumped at the chance. Of course I bought the ebook so I could do whipersyc as well. This was truly an awesome story.
In this series there is always so much that is going on at the ranch. Either they hare having a craft/art class or something else to draw a crowd. In this story it was a cooking class. The ranch is defiantly magical. It seems like the place for shifters can go to find their mate.
I just loved Donna. She was this curvy, sassy, beautiful woman. She was not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well. She said what she thought, well most of the time. Due to her beauty and pride on looking good she was judge all the time by women. At the ranch was no different. Though it hurt her she handled it with such grace. To truly know Donna you had to look deeper and a lot of people did not take time to do that. They truly looked at her as high maintenance but she truly was a whole lot more. Donna was recently divorced and not looking for love, but love comes when we don’t expect it.
Brody was truly and amazing bear shifter/man. He had such a big heart and you could tell it by the way he talked about his sister. I love his love of family. He wanted to find his fated mate but the question is what happens when he finds her and she is not what he is looking for.
I truly loved reading about Donna and Brody’s romance. There was a lot they needed to know about each other. I loved when Brody started pulling back the layers and discovering the inward beauty that Donna had. I also loved when she surprised the people around her including Brody. I loved when Donna found out about the bear.
One of the most sweetest moments, though there was several was when Donna met Lizzie, Brody’s sister. It was written so well that you could almost picture the tender moment in your mind.
Cross by Elle Thorne:
This was a great book. Cross del Cruz is a former Compliance Enforcer for the Shifter Council. He is also a bear shifter. This is pretty much a man this is a loner. He is one that is prepared for anything.
I loved Cross’ compassion when it came to other animals. In this story it talked about his encounter with a small fawn. This story made my heart melt. Here was this grizzly of a man who had a small soft spot for animals.
Ariadne Fueller was on the run. Her life was in danger and some very bad people wanted her dead. So when her friend sent her to a lady called Aunt Mae she went in hopes that this person could help. Ariadne did not know how much her life will change.
I loved Ariadne and Cross’ first meet. It was almost funny. I think when Ariadne was doing what she was doing I kept saying “No, no, no don’t do it” but would the character in the book listen to me..LOL Oh, only if she could.
There is a lot of chemistry between Ariadne and Cross. Cross’ bear keeps telling him that she is their mate. His bear is determined to make her theirs. Smart bear.
Cross will be determined to keep Ariadne safe, it will be come a challenge. it is a great story and glad I got a chance to read the book.
Bait This by Tasha Black:
Derek Harkness had live a very good life due to his bear. He was now a billionaire. Women fall at this feet but only wanted him for one thing and that is for his money.
Derek had a spell put on him when he was a kid. It was to help him control his bear and it will last for 300 moons. Now his time is up and his bear will not be denied. His bear wants out and wants to mate.
Hadda Lane was a witch that was protected the a mine to keep the evil in. She had to be lonely be there all by herself. She has seen an omen letting her know something bad was going to happen.
Hadda probably could not believe there was this hunky man that crashed near her. She could not believe he could be attacked to her. Seems like if there was something going to go wrong it would happen to Derek.
These two have secrets they are keeping from one another and they will have to eventually come clean. There is danger among them and they will have to work together to defeat the danger.
Derek will have to battle with his bear. His bear tells them that Hadda is their mate and if Derek can not make the move then the bear will. Derek will have to learn to work with his bear. Derek will find this difficult.
Great story and glad I got to read the book.
The Billionaire Shifter’s Virgin Mate by Diana Seere:
This is the first book I have read of Diana Seere. I have to say I truly loved this book. There might of been a few characters I did not like but that is expected when reading a good book.
McDermott “Derry” Stanton is a true playboy and a sexy bear shifter. It is nothing for him to take 3 to 4 women home a night. When reading about Derry’s life I had to think what a tiresome and lonely life that must of been. Sure he had tons of women and he was some what close to his siblings. But he did not have that one person that would love him for who he truly was. Not one person that knew his heart and his secrets.
Jessica Murphy was a force not to be messed with. The moment she laid eyes on Derry she knew she was in trouble. She did not need this type of trouble in her life. She could lose her job. She was trying to get through med school and would a playboy really want a virgin like her?
I loved the song and dance these two went through. It was like reading about some type of mating dance. My heart actually broke for them as well. Seem like these two will have to battle the world by themselves. Though fate was for them it was like the world was not.
I got mad at Derry and Jessica’s family. They should of been happy for them not trying to tear them apart at every corner. It did not seem like one person was supportive of these two. When reading this story you will want to reach in the book and slap a few people around.
Asher who was Derry’s older brother really angered me. He seems to hate humans. I do not care what he went through in his past it does not give him the right to act the way he did in the story. He was a hateful, full of anger, bitterness, resentment, and was just a miserable person. It seemed he wanted everyone around him to be miserable as well. Yeah, I did not like him to much.
Starting out I did not like Derry’s sister Sophie but by the time the story was over I truly loved Sophie and Derry’s younger brother Edward. Derry will end up in a dark place and will need these two more then he truly knows.
I love how protective Derry was of Jessica. It truly pained him to see her hurting and when things are looking dark he will do what ever it takes to save their relationship. I truly liked him for that.
This was a great story and glad I got a chance to read the book.

I’ve only read one of the books in this collection, so far, but I’m in the process of reading the rest. I love bear shifters and this collection delivered. The Billionaire Shifter’s Virgin Mate is about Derry Stanton and Jessica Murphy and is also a book two in the series about the Stanton siblings. It is a very sexy read. My loyalties lie with Derry, a bear shifter, as I felt he got a raw deal from both his family and Jess. I won’t recap the story as I wouldn’t do it justice but I will say that when I get this “into” a story, it tells me that an author is writing a good book and I believe Ms. Seere did just that. I liked this book and am looking forward to reading about more bear shifters in Bear Fever.

I absolutely love boxsets, and this one is a real treat. I haven't read all the books, but I love the ones I have read....
A special note: I haven't actually got this boxset, so it won't appear as a verified purchase, but I've bought individual copies of six of the eight books and I've reviewed the ones I've read, most of them bought from Amazon UK.
I adore boxsets... you get so much for your money and this one is a real treat. It has one new to me author but the others are already on my favourites list, so... even better. I haven't actually got this set, simply because I own individual copies of most of the books in it and I've given reviews for the ones I've actually read. Sadly, I haven't had time to read all of them yet, but I absolutely love the ones I have read and I'm really looking forward to the others... when I finally get time to read them.
1 - Andre (Rocked by the Bear, Book 1) - V. Vaughn - 5 Stars
This terrific paranormal romance had me hooked from fraught beginning to happily ever after end. I absolutely loved it.
I love V. Vaughn's books and this entry into the ongoing saga of the Le Roux and De Rozier clans is the best yet. I absolutely loved reading 'Andre', the first book in her Rocked by the Bear series.
Triplets Nessa, Ginni and Tori are part grizzly bear, although the only one who knows that is Tori. They were called to mate by the dwindling Le Roux clan, but only Tori answered, and now she's on the campus of Bowdoin College to tell her sisters all about it. They've all been having hot dreams about a big guy who becomes a bear for a couple of years now and Ginni is fine with the idea, but Nessa has a fit. She's a snob who wants to be part of the twin set and country club brigade, not a part bear freak. But she's pulled up short on the way to a band rehearsal when Ginni is so disgusted by her attitude towards Andre that she can barely talk to her, so Nessa gives her life a good coat of looking at and finds she doesn't like what she sees.
Polar bear shifters Andre Lindquist and his brothers have been sent to work security at Bowdoin College because a rogue bear clan, the La Verdiers, have been causing a lot of trouble and are a serious danger to the female students. Having spent ten years in bear form just to survive, his communication skills are a little rusty when he first meets Nessa on the night that Tori is there, and knows Nessa is his true mate. She repeatedly hurts him and fights it all the way, but they have common ground in their shared love of music. A Christmas revelation causes her to re-evaulate what's important and a trip to spend New Year with Tori and Keith also brings a happily ever after for Andre and Nessa.
I absolutely loved this paranormal romance about true mates Andre and Nessa. Andre is really sweet and over the course of the book Nessa starts to see the kind person he is and the kind of shallow person she's become. Having something of an epiphany, she realises it isn't the lifestyle they live, and to which she aspires, that has brought happiness to her mother and stepfather, it's the love they have for each other. Although this book is connected to Called by the Bear and Tempted by the Bear which are serials, this is a complete stand alone story with a happily ever after and no cliff-hangers.
2 - Cyrus (Black Bear Outlaws, Book 1) - Kenzie Cox - 5 Stars
What a great start to the series. I absolutely loved this terrific paranormal romance with thriller overtones and a HEA.
I love Kenzie Cox's books and 'Cyrus', the first in her Black Bear Outlaws series is a terrific opener. Well written in the first person with the POV alternating between the heroine and the hero, this book is full of great characters, plot twists and turns, a red herring or two, lots of funny bits, a fair helping of steam to go with the happily ever after and can easily be read as a stand alone. I really couldn't put it down, devoured it in one sitting and absolutely loved it.
Bear shifter Cyrus Doucet had something of a wayward youth, but now, together with his brothers Chase and Cole, he runs a private security business. He's lived next door to Claire Erickson since his family moved to Basin Bayou and she's been the love of his life since he was seven years old. Over the years, he's dated pretty much everyone but her, and she made it pretty clear he wasn't her type, but he's watched and waited, hoping for a chance to finally go out with the woman he knows is his true mate, his 'one'. Then, all of a sudden, an unwelcome face from the past provides an opportunity he really isn't going to pass up...
Wedding planner Claire Erickson's got an appointment with a groom shortly, strange the bride isn't coming to the meeting as well, but sometimes it happens. She needs to get ready, but it's hard dragging her attention away from the half naked hunk mowing the lawn next door, and she's having such a nice time drooling over the man of her dreams, even if he did break her five year-old heart and she keeps telling herself he's not her type, if only her body would actually listen to her head. Still, she's having a nice day, right up to the point when she opens the door to her soon-to-be client and comes face to face with the drug dealing ex-boyfriend she hasn't seen since she testified about him to the pack Elders six years ago. Vince Crane isn't someone she ever wanted to see again, and even worse, the Elders seem to think the wedding with Vince as the groom should also include her....as the bride. Thank heavens Cyrus was paying attention and came to her rescue just in time, but now she has a whole new problem to deal with...
I really don't want to give any spoilers but this is a fantastic start to the series. It has some really great characters including Cyrus, Claire, Chase, Cole and Katrina, as well as some truly stupid ones, mostly in the form of the ex and the pack Elders who seem to suffer from a distinctly stone-age mentality, as well as a great plot with unexpected twists and turns. It has humour, a little action, steamy bits and the happily ever after we all expect. I absolutely loved this wonderful stand alone paranormal romance with thriller overtones. Well worth 5 stars and I can't wait for the next one in what promises to be another terrific series.
3 - The Billionaire Shifter's Virgin Mate - Diana Seere
Diana Seere is a completely new author to me, and as I don't have the boxset, I also don't have this story. My meagre book budget doesn't really stretch very far, maybe one or two books a month, and with the ebook market over-run with scammers, plagiarists and con artists these days, I usually rely on sets like this, containing authors I already know and love, as well as freebies, to try out new authors, but as I already own six of the eight books, and I'm fairly sure I'll get another one in a complete series boxset somewhere down the line, unless this story is offered as a freebie at some point or I get a book by this author in another set and like it, I'll probably never read this one despite the blurb making it, for me at least, a bit mouth-watering. Sad but true.... sorry...
He's a wealthy playboy bear shifter with an enormous appetite for women. She's a virginal pre-med student with no time for nonsense. And then they hear The Beat, an old myth about fated mates that Derry can't believe...but can't ignore.
4 - Bait This! (300 Moons, Book 1) - Tasha Black
I love Tasha Black's Tarker's Hollow series' and can't wait to start on this first book in a new to me series... when I have the time. Sadly, I bought this in December 2016 and it's still waiting for me.... but, soon...
Billionaire bear Derek Harkness is always in control. Until he meets a curvy witch who takes him out of his element. When the you-know-what hits the fan, Derek and Hedda will have to work together if they want to get out of Copper Creek alive.
5 - Cross (Barely After Dark, Book 1) - Elle Thorne
I love Elle Thorne's books, have read a lot of them, and although I've already got a stand alone copy of 'Cross' I haven't actually had time to read it yet but I expect a terrific story when I do...
A former Shifter Council Enforcer hell-bent on being left alone finds his plans go to hell in a hand basket when he has to help a curvy spitfire on the run from the mob.
6 - Tempt Me Cowbear (Curvy Bear B&B, Book 3) - Liv Brywood
I've got quite a few Liv Brywood books and loved them all, but this is the first I've got in this series. My copy is in the no longer available Shifters in the Snow: Bundle of Joy boxset which I bought from Amazon UK in December last year, and due to assorted life type problems, I haven't had time to read it yet so... a treat in store.
7 - Damage Report (Immortal Outcasts, Book 2)- Mandy Roth - 5 Stars
Once I started reading, I was completely oblivious to everything in the real world until I got to the end. Then I wanted more...
Mandy Roth has done it again. Another fantastic addition to the Immortal Ops World, 'Damage Report' is the second book in the Immortal Outcasts series and I absolutely loved it. I was hooked from the very first page and I really couldn't put it down. I originally read this terrific story in August 2015 and loved it so much I've read it at least twice more since then.
Were-bear for hire Weston Carol has had a long, hard life and having come out of hiding to save his friend Casey's mate, he just wants to disappear again and be left alone. He's tired, grumpy and long overdue for a run in the forest. His bear is demanding it, amongst other things, but just as he's about to get furry, he's interrupted by Casey, along with Bill and Gus (a couple of wonderful and wacky characters who appeared in the first book in this series), because Gus needs to warn Weston that his mate is in serious danger in Seattle. Weston is a little confused, despite having weird dreams about a woman who smells of berries and cream for weeks, because he doesn't actually have a mate, and even if he did, he's in danger of really hurting her unless he gets his 'manly needs' dealt with before he meets her.
Paisley Addicks knows she's not quite human, even if she doesn't know exactly what she is, but she feeds on sexual energy and is killing two birds with one stone by sneaking around a sex club searching for anything that will help her find her missing best friend, Gale. It seemed like a good idea until she's locked in a room by a couple of really vicious vampires and left to await her fate at the hands of their boss. What she actually gets is her mate. When she discovers he went to the club looking for a paid booty call before he started searching for her, despite the fact he knew she was in danger, he's lucky he doesn't get a good kick in his 'manly needs'.
This is a great paranormal romance with humour, steamy bits, action and bad guys to fight as well the HEA we all expect. Mandy always manages to pack so much information into her stories that I never feel like I'm missing anything. All of the books can be read as stand alones and you don't have to follow the suggested reading order, but it's better is you do because you get the whole picture as well as some really fantastic books. I actually started with the fourth book in the Immortal Ops series, loved it so much I got book one and have been addicted ever since. I love Mandy Roth's books, and every book in the four series that make up the Immortal Ops world just grabs me at the beginning and won't let go until I get to the end. 'Damage Report' was no exception, and I was completely oblivious to the goings on in the real world until I'd read the last sentence. Then I wanted more. I loved the characters in this book although most of them have already appeared in other Immortal Ops World stories and there's a handy Suggested Reading Order, as well as a really useful Series Helper at the beginning of the book, both of which I found invaluable, even though I've read nearly all of the other books. I loved it and really can't wait for the next one.
8 - Forbidden Bear (Bear Creek Biker Bears, Book 1) - Harmony Raines
I've got an awful lot of books by Harmony Raines and loved all the ones I've read so far, which sadly doesn't include this one... yet... . I haven't had much time to just sit and read lately, plus I'm on an excruciatingly low income these days and have to make my meagre book budget stretch a very long way, so over the last few years I've taken to waiting until the complete series' boxsets come out and bag a copy then, but I expect I'll be hooked on this series too, as soon as I get it.... and have time to read it.
Recent divorcee Donna is on a mission to indulge in each of the seven deadly sins, beginning with a trip to the Curvy Bear Ranch's cooking class. She gets more than she bargained for when she finds Brody, a sexy cowboy with a scorching hot body. Brody thinks the curvy blonde bombshell his bear insists is their mate, is totally wrong with her filthy rich, self-absorbed, seductive ways. They both have to decide if their recipe for love is worth a chance.

I absolutely love boxsets, and this one is a real treat. I haven't read all the books, but I love the ones I have read....
A special note: I haven't actually got this boxset, so it won't appear as a verified purchase, but I've bought individual copies of six of the eight books and I've reviewed the ones I've read, most of them bought from Amazon UK.
I adore boxsets... you get so much for your money and this one is a real treat. It has one new to me author but the others are already on my favourites list, so... even better. I haven't actually got this set, simply because I own individual copies of most of the books in it and I've given reviews for the ones I've actually read. Sadly, I haven't had time to read all of them yet, but I absolutely love the ones I have read and I'm really looking forward to the others... when I finally get time to read them.
1 - Andre (Rocked by the Bear, Book 1) - V. Vaughn - 5 Stars
This terrific paranormal romance had me hooked from fraught beginning to happily ever after end. I absolutely loved it.
I love V. Vaughn's books and this entry into the ongoing saga of the Le Roux and De Rozier clans is the best yet. I absolutely loved reading 'Andre', the first book in her Rocked by the Bear series.
Triplets Nessa, Ginni and Tori are part grizzly bear, although the only one who knows that is Tori. They were called to mate by the dwindling Le Roux clan, but only Tori answered, and now she's on the campus of Bowdoin College to tell her sisters all about it. They've all been having hot dreams about a big guy who becomes a bear for a couple of years now and Ginni is fine with the idea, but Nessa has a fit. She's a snob who wants to be part of the twin set and country club brigade, not a part bear freak. But she's pulled up short on the way to a band rehearsal when Ginni is so disgusted by her attitude towards Andre that she can barely talk to her, so Nessa gives her life a good coat of looking at and finds she doesn't like what she sees.
Polar bear shifters Andre Lindquist and his brothers have been sent to work security at Bowdoin College because a rogue bear clan, the La Verdiers, have been causing a lot of trouble and are a serious danger to the female students. Having spent ten years in bear form just to survive, his communication skills are a little rusty when he first meets Nessa on the night that Tori is there, and knows Nessa is his true mate. She repeatedly hurts him and fights it all the way, but they have common ground in their shared love of music. A Christmas revelation causes her to re-evaulate what's important and a trip to spend New Year with Tori and Keith also brings a happily ever after for Andre and Nessa.
I absolutely loved this paranormal romance about true mates Andre and Nessa. Andre is really sweet and over the course of the book Nessa starts to see the kind person he is and the kind of shallow person she's become. Having something of an epiphany, she realises it isn't the lifestyle they live, and to which she aspires, that has brought happiness to her mother and stepfather, it's the love they have for each other. Although this book is connected to Called by the Bear and Tempted by the Bear which are serials, this is a complete stand alone story with a happily ever after and no cliff-hangers.
2 - Cyrus (Black Bear Outlaws, Book 1) - Kenzie Cox - 5 Stars
What a great start to the series. I absolutely loved this terrific paranormal romance with thriller overtones and a HEA.
I love Kenzie Cox's books and 'Cyrus', the first in her Black Bear Outlaws series is a terrific opener. Well written in the first person with the POV alternating between the heroine and the hero, this book is full of great characters, plot twists and turns, a red herring or two, lots of funny bits, a fair helping of steam to go with the happily ever after and can easily be read as a stand alone. I really couldn't put it down, devoured it in one sitting and absolutely loved it.
Bear shifter Cyrus Doucet had something of a wayward youth, but now, together with his brothers Chase and Cole, he runs a private security business. He's lived next door to Claire Erickson since his family moved to Basin Bayou and she's been the love of his life since he was seven years old. Over the years, he's dated pretty much everyone but her, and she made it pretty clear he wasn't her type, but he's watched and waited, hoping for a chance to finally go out with the woman he knows is his true mate, his 'one'. Then, all of a sudden, an unwelcome face from the past provides an opportunity he really isn't going to pass up...
Wedding planner Claire Erickson's got an appointment with a groom shortly, strange the bride isn't coming to the meeting as well, but sometimes it happens. She needs to get ready, but it's hard dragging her attention away from the half naked hunk mowing the lawn next door, and she's having such a nice time drooling over the man of her dreams, even if he did break her five year-old heart and she keeps telling herself he's not her type, if only her body would actually listen to her head. Still, she's having a nice day, right up to the point when she opens the door to her soon-to-be client and comes face to face with the drug dealing ex-boyfriend she hasn't seen since she testified about him to the pack Elders six years ago. Vince Crane isn't someone she ever wanted to see again, and even worse, the Elders seem to think the wedding with Vince as the groom should also include her....as the bride. Thank heavens Cyrus was paying attention and came to her rescue just in time, but now she has a whole new problem to deal with...
I really don't want to give any spoilers but this is a fantastic start to the series. It has some really great characters including Cyrus, Claire, Chase, Cole and Katrina, as well as some truly stupid ones, mostly in the form of the ex and the pack Elders who seem to suffer from a distinctly stone-age mentality, as well as a great plot with unexpected twists and turns. It has humour, a little action, steamy bits and the happily ever after we all expect. I absolutely loved this wonderful stand alone paranormal romance with thriller overtones. Well worth 5 stars and I can't wait for the next one in what promises to be another terrific series.
3 - The Billionaire Shifter's Virgin Mate - Diana Seere
Diana Seere is a completely new author to me, and as I don't have the boxset, I also don't have this story. My meagre book budget doesn't really stretch very far, maybe one or two books a month, and with the ebook market over-run with scammers, plagiarists and con artists these days, I usually rely on sets like this, containing authors I already know and love, as well as freebies, to try out new authors, but as I already own six of the eight books, and I'm fairly sure I'll get another one in a complete series boxset somewhere down the line, unless this story is offered as a freebie at some point or I get a book by this author in another set and like it, I'll probably never read this one despite the blurb making it, for me at least, a bit mouth-watering. Sad but true.... sorry...
He's a wealthy playboy bear shifter with an enormous appetite for women. She's a virginal pre-med student with no time for nonsense. And then they hear The Beat, an old myth about fated mates that Derry can't believe...but can't ignore.
4 - Bait This! (300 Moons, Book 1) - Tasha Black
I love Tasha Black's Tarker's Hollow series' and can't wait to start on this first book in a new to me series... when I have the time. Sadly, I bought this in December 2016 and it's still waiting for me.... but, soon...
Billionaire bear Derek Harkness is always in control. Until he meets a curvy witch who takes him out of his element. When the you-know-what hits the fan, Derek and Hedda will have to work together if they want to get out of Copper Creek alive.
5 - Cross (Barely After Dark, Book 1) - Elle Thorne
I love Elle Thorne's books, have read a lot of them, and although I've already got a stand alone copy of 'Cross' I haven't actually had time to read it yet but I expect a terrific story when I do...
A former Shifter Council Enforcer hell-bent on being left alone finds his plans go to hell in a hand basket when he has to help a curvy spitfire on the run from the mob.
6 - Tempt Me Cowbear (Curvy Bear B&B, Book 3) - Liv Brywood
I've got quite a few Liv Brywood books and loved them all, but this is the first I've got in this series. My copy is in the no longer available Shifters in the Snow: Bundle of Joy boxset which I bought from Amazon UK in December last year, and due to assorted life type problems, I haven't had time to read it yet so... a treat in store.
7 - Damage Report (Immortal Outcasts, Book 2)- Mandy Roth - 5 Stars
Once I started reading, I was completely oblivious to everything in the real world until I got to the end. Then I wanted more...
Mandy Roth has done it again. Another fantastic addition to the Immortal Ops World, 'Damage Report' is the second book in the Immortal Outcasts series and I absolutely loved it. I was hooked from the very first page and I really couldn't put it down. I originally read this terrific story in August 2015 and loved it so much I've read it at least twice more since then.
Were-bear for hire Weston Carol has had a long, hard life and having come out of hiding to save his friend Casey's mate, he just wants to disappear again and be left alone. He's tired, grumpy and long overdue for a run in the forest. His bear is demanding it, amongst other things, but just as he's about to get furry, he's interrupted by Casey, along with Bill and Gus (a couple of wonderful and wacky characters who appeared in the first book in this series), because Gus needs to warn Weston that his mate is in serious danger in Seattle. Weston is a little confused, despite having weird dreams about a woman who smells of berries and cream for weeks, because he doesn't actually have a mate, and even if he did, he's in danger of really hurting her unless he gets his 'manly needs' dealt with before he meets her.
Paisley Addicks knows she's not quite human, even if she doesn't know exactly what she is, but she feeds on sexual energy and is killing two birds with one stone by sneaking around a sex club searching for anything that will help her find her missing best friend, Gale. It seemed like a good idea until she's locked in a room by a couple of really vicious vampires and left to await her fate at the hands of their boss. What she actually gets is her mate. When she discovers he went to the club looking for a paid booty call before he started searching for her, despite the fact he knew she was in danger, he's lucky he doesn't get a good kick in his 'manly needs'.
This is a great paranormal romance with humour, steamy bits, action and bad guys to fight as well the HEA we all expect.

Title: Andre: Mating Fever
Series: Rocked By The Bear Book 1
Author: V. Vaughn
I'm sure everyone remembers Keith and Tori from the last book.

Well goodness gracious we are back in Montana at the B&B Curvy Bear Ranch. I just love all the other books, this one is just as unique, I love this Ranch so much I hope she makes more books like this it is just very special ranch with very special bears.
Donna Bluestone is a thirty-two years old human that is freshly divorced from a cheating rich husband. So she has decided she was going on a few quests for new experiences. One week cooking class is at the top of the list. Donna was raised in Hollywood with her well known actress mother, so it was always natural for her to be dressed to the nines and make-up on. Coming to this B&B in the middle of nowhere full of snow should be interesting.
Madison is the teacher for the cooking class at the B&B Curvy Bear Ranch her husband/mate is part owner with his brothers. Needless to say there was a problem she posted the cooking retreat online, it was only supposed to appear on the private, bear-shifters-only website. Something happened and Donna found out about the retreat and she’s not a shifter. Everyone here had to be careful now and couldn’t shift.
Brody Hesston came to the Ranch before to buy a horse, so he was familiar with the people here when he found out about the cooking classes for a week he was very excited. His sister who has Down Syndrome birthday is next Saturday he wanted to make her a real cake not a box cake a real cake. So here he was to learn. But Lucky Brody got a whole lot more than he bargained for and a bear that was going to dive him crazy.

Review For: The Billionaire Shifter's Virgin Mate
Diana Seere – 5-Stars
It is Jess’ first night at the Platinum Club. Love is the last thing on her mind, but meeting Derry and being close to him feels strange; if she isn’t careful he could wreck all her plans. Derry is told Jess is off limits, but her scent is overpowering and all-consuming, invading his soul; for the first time in his life he is filled with an emotion that is new. Leaving Derry humiliated and an object of ridicule, not once but twice, Jess soon realises that underneath all his debauchery, Derry is actually an intelligent, sensitive and compassionate man, and it is not long before her self-denial crumbles. At the wedding Jess comes across Derry, not as a man, but as a bear and readily accepts him, while at the same time exposing her own vulnerabilities; her honesty, humility, and bravery humbles him. Derry has his suspicions about the string of coincidences that continue to interrupt their budding romance. Jess and Derry both believe the other is the One; that what they have is something special, something other people cannot understand. While everyone wants to prove them wrong, all they were doing was interfering with Fate. Overhearing a conversation about herself at the wedding, Jess relives the memories of the frat pig party she was invited to. The public humiliation she experienced as a young, naïve and vulnerable person, by Archie, had been the lowest point of her life, taking her months to recover. Now she learns that Derry was also at the same frat party. All this time she thought Derry was different, but is he? He has not only taken her pride, but her heart too; was it all just a game to him? Now Jess is going to return to the habits that made her who she was; hard work, solitude and a guarded heart. For the 2-months they are apart, Derry pours himself into his love of painting, then actively seeks his revenge on Archie for interfering in his life with Jess; she is his One, it was never a choice to begin with. Now Derry is righting a wrong; at some point throughout the ages, he and Jess had been One, then lost each other, but now they were One again.
Review For: Andre – V. Vaughn – 4-Stars
Tori, Ginny and Nessa are triplets and the bear dreams they are experiencing mean they are destined as mates for Werebears. Tori has already found her true mate, but Nessa is not interested in embracing her inner animal. Eric is everything Nessa is looking for in a potential husband, but Eric cannot date a student in his class. Andre and his brothers have been sent to the town to keep a rogue clan of Werebears from causing more trouble. When their former Alpha gambled away their land, Andre and his brothers were forced to remain in bear form to survive until moving into the town; but what Andre doesn’t expect is to meet his true mate. When Nessa joins her sister Ginny’s band as a lead singer, she duets with Andre and while she finds him mysterious she only wants to be friends with him. Nessa didn’t belong to anyone, but Andre is not prepared to be merely friends because Fate has determined otherwise.
Review For: Tempt Me Cowbear – Liv Brywood – 4-Stars
Now that Donna is single again, she is looking for the freedom to do whatever she wants and intends to start with the seven deadly sins. Her actress mother had instilled certain virtues in Donna, but nothing can detract from her good heart. Signing up for a cooking course, Donna doesn’t realise it is supposed to be for shifters only. Brody is on the cooking class so he can bake a cake for his sister Lizzie’s birthday. Pairing up with Brody, the two agree on a week together with no strings attached. Brody loves his sister Lizzie, but she has downs syndrome and he doesn’t think that Donna is wife material, but she surprises him. Even so, Brody’s bear knows that Donna is his mate, but when he confesses he is a bear, Donna doesn’t believe him. While Donna is afraid to fall in love again, she wonders if she will be able to walk away from Brody at the end of the week; her feelings cause confusion and Brody isn’t sure where he stands. At the end of the week, Brody takes Donna home to meet his family, but she is afraid they will not like her. What Brody doesn’t expect is Lizzie’s reaction.

Tempt me Cowbear - Liv Brywood
We are back at the curvy bear ranch for a week of fun in the snowy mountains and cooking classes.
(Sign me up!)
Donna is a human who some how signed up for an all shifter vacation. She is newly divorced from a loveless marriage, rich, hot, curvy, funny, and sweet.
Brody is a bear shifter here to learn how to cook a cake for his sister who has down syndrome but when his bear sees Donna it's all Brody can do to keep him in.
This was an story. I'll loved the romance, characters and drama. It was so touching and sweet. Shifter fans your going to love it.
Cyrus - Kenzie Cox
Since Claire was 7 years old and Cyrus Doucet moved next door to her home she had been in love with him. Not that he gave her the time of day . Nope he dated everyone else. So she ended up with a guy named Vince. Who in the end was a drug dealer and got sent away.
Now Claire has both men (Cyrus and Vince) in her kitchen saying they want her. What's a girl to do?
Love the action and characters. oh and so many bad guy to hate lol
This was so much fun and so hot. Yea you gotta read it
Andre - V. Vaughn

Love the struggle in this romance lol its a really fun read the time just flew by. Its a great addition to V. Vaughn last series and It's a great add to your shifter library! All shifter fans should love this one!
Bait This! - Tasha Black
OMG What an amazing book this just went to my all-time favorite list!
The 300 moons series is about a loving woman who opens her home to shifter baby/children that shift to early and for what ever reason are given up. A witch comes and sings over each children their first night to give that child some control over his or her animal for 300 moons and then the spell is broken and as with all magic a price is paid.
This book is all about Derek, he us a bear shifter who keeps his bear locked away, he is also a self made billionaire. Then there is Hedda a witch who guards against an evil rising. They have been tossed together at a time when evil has chosen to raise it's head. Can Derek come to terms with his bear? Will they make it out alive?
This story has it all evil being, shifter, witch, magic, and let's not forget passion BUT it also has something I crave in a story action-packed plot line. Tasha Black's stories always pack a punch and this one is magical
I LOVED IT! Shifter fans be prepared to fall hard for this one! I can't wait for the next book.

Some wonderful author submissions in this one. Here are a few:
Andre: By V Vaughn
The first story in a series of Polar Bear brothers—all steamy hot, all in full length, stand alone books. At college, they meet up with two of a set female human triplets to hear some music. Three of the two couples are in a college band. Ms. Vaughn not only writes a great love story, with steam and emotion, she manages to make PRN stories give real life situations in a unique way. Class warfare. The prejudices in the werebear world mirror real life. Can (Va)Nessa get past her idea of the perfect future?
Those who have followed V Vaughn's other series will recognize some of the players, and it is great to revisit. If not, you will get to meet them and find out about their world. Triplet sisters, two at college and the third triplet, has some news for them. How will they take it?
Ms. Vaughn does not disappoint and provides, steam, intrigue, danger, family love and loyalty as well as interesting characters that will capture your heart. Watch Andre and Nessa deal with their pasts and possible futures. I was lucky enough to be provided with and ARC for an honest review.
Bait This by Tasha Black
Tarkar's Hallow just gets better and better. The more we learn the more mysterious it becomes.
Derrick was a success. From abandoned to famous, he'd grown up with a wonderful woman who took in shifters that prematurely came into their animal and had trouble controlling it. It was home, she was the mother, and the other children were brothers and sisters. It was time to go home—there was a reckoning.
Hedda and her sisters held magic. Each a different kind of magic, each plays a part in protecting the area, but from what? She holds two talents or curses. When she and Derrick meet, she fears the attraction.
Before they can explore their attraction there is much to do, and danger to deal with. Ms. Black provides a wonderful love story, a compelling mystery, along with characters you can't help but love. This is the beginning of another journey into Tarker's Hallow.
Damage Report by Mandy Roth
Weston, sexy, werebear-plus, Outcast. We see him as needy to begin the book--shift or have sex. He knows he is in a dangerous way. Then he is stopped by a brother in arms, Bane along with two very strange men.
The pair with Casey makes you laugh out loud and worry for their skins. Bad bear and his buddy work to resist eating them. You can't help but fall for the pair--comic relief just doesn't cover it. They came with his friend because Gus, the quiet one, has foreseen that Weston's mate is in danger.
Weston doesn't have a mate. Although, Paisley is indeed in trouble and now you need to read the rest of the book, to see if they are too late, is it a trap, if not will she be the one?
Besides steam and great sexual tension, the dialogue is sometimes hysterical, always realistic. The characters ones you want to see get their own story. Once again I love this story as with all of Psy Ops world.

This is a great set for those who love paranormal romances. Bear shifters are one of my favorites. I have read some of the stories before and have read many of these authors and recommend you check out the set.
Andre
I love the author's bear shifters and it is interesting to meet two of the triplets that are from her earlier series when Tori was identified as a shifter. You don't have to have read the other books to jump in as it is a standalone story.
Nessa is surprised by her attraction and connection to Andre from their first meeting. He may not speak much but he makes a big impression. She always thought she wanted a more normal kind of life like her mom but her sister's news means there is something different about her too. Andre is a polar bear shifter and her life with him would never be ordinary.He knows she is his mate and has to give her time to accept the major change to her life and plans.
I enjoyed the story and it is a pretty quick read. The author is very good at crafting new characters in a short story and you end the book with a real understanding of the characters and their motivations. If you like it, I recommend you check out the other books in the series.
Tempt me Cowbear - Liv Brywood
This is a fun new edition to the author's previous series. Now that the brothers are mated, the author has introduced new shifters and humans to the storyline. In this case, you have a recently divorced woman looking for some fun. She doesn't realize she is at a shifter only event. She meets a bear shifter that is looking for a mate that will be willing to take care of his sister who has Down's Syndrome. While there is a strong attraction, it doesn't seem like they are headed in the same direction. Love may just change all their plans. I highly recommend the series.
I received a copy in return for a honest review.

This is one great box set with some fantastic authors
who have got together to give us a few hours of enjoyment.
This review is on the book from V. Vaughn called Andre
This is a sweet beginning to a new series. If the rest of the series is like this we are in for some really
good read.
This is the story of how Nessa and Andre got together.
Andre new straight away that Nessa was his true mate. At first Nessa was not interested because
Andre is a polar bear shifter . Nessa is denying her bear part of herself.
Can they get over there differently and have their Happy Ending
Each story in this set is definitely worth more than five stars.
Give it ago you might find some more author's to follow.
I would recommend this set to anyone that love reading shifters books

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Jess and Derry's story is a satisfying addition to the series. At first glance, these two seem like polar opposites--the reserved virgin and the happy-go-lucky manwhore--but there is something definitely there. What they have to figure out is whether or not they are the One for each other, or just a scorchingly hot fling. It was delightful to read their story of discovery of not only themselves, but each other. It was also very enjoyable to learn more about this shifter world. I look forward to the next in the series.

Holy Hotness! This bundle has some fantastic short reads! Right now I've only read 2 & started a 3rd one, but I can highly recommend this to all adult fans of fiction, especially those who love PNR like I do! ... "CROSS" by Elle Thorne and "BAIT THIS!" by Tasha Black are page-turning must reads with romance and suspense! I will update this as I read more :)
