Got Arc for an honest review.
First time reading from the authors.
Remedy Maker Book One: I thought the story was well written. I loved “Maybe he should just cut off her head to make the bruise go away. No brain, no pain.” Made me smile when he said that.
The story had a nice steady pace to keep me hooked and reading until all info was unfolded.
Rhy and Patience have chemistry, even if they are suppose to be enemy’s, his a centaur and shes a wood nymph. They heated up the pages until they set them on fire. I loved the story.
Troll-y Yours Book Two: The second book was well written as well. Right off the bat I liked Ella character. Aleksander character was also likable and helped to pull me in to read more of their story. The two have hot chemistry, they can steam up the pages that can melt the wallpaper off the walls.
I loved the second book as well.
I thought both stories had a nice steady pace to keep the stories interesting and full of things to keep ones minds wondering on things. I haven’t read many centaur shifter ones. I really enjoyed reading this one and find myself adding it to my favorites. I hope to read more of the author’s stories, for I will be stalking their book shelves, for books to read.
Thank you for letting me read your story.

Absolutely amazing stories, loved all the characters especially Rhys and Penelope, and Alec and Elle. Also loved how accepting Daisy is. Love picks our love for us despite how we try to deny it, and love heals. Highly recommended reads. Thanks to Sherie for putting in print the fantasies we all make up

I really liked the box set even though I am not really into fantasy books. It is excitement, adventure, fun, suspenseful. Keeps your attention and is easy to follow along and is like a lot of fantasy movies in one way. I recommend it. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.

Remedy Maker
Political intrigue, action, adventure, and romance. What more could you ask for? Okay, I could have gone without Patience's peculiar, mythic version of ebonics. But by the end I didn't completely despise her unique grammar. I really liked Rhycious. He's that perfect blend of wounded warrior, take-charge alpha, and sweet romantic that makes for the best kind of book boyfriend. Baffling language aside, Patience is the ideal partner for him. Where Rhycious is grounded and reticent and stabilizes some of her more flighty tendencies, the bubbly, sunny demeanor Patience displays to all keeps Rhy from withdrawing further from life. I know there must still be more to the story of the rebellion and I look forward to reading more about the inhabitants of the Boronda forest.
Troll-y Yours
With that opening scene, I wasn't sure what I had gotten myself into with this book. I adored Alek in the first one, but I was horrified to see who he starts out this story as. I was very grateful to see that it doesn't take long before he's back to the sweet, wounded warrior I recognize from book one. Ella is a hoot. She's so many contradictions wrapped up in one feisty little package, it's no wonder Alek can't help but fall for her. I both love and hate the way the rebel mystery is handled here. This episode is tied up nicely by the ending, but it's obvious there's more to come. I look forward to seeing what's next on the horizon for the Boronda's inhabitants.
I received a complimentary copy of this book.

***I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***
These are the first books I've read by this particular author. In these book's the world and characters created are very detailed and descriptive. Her writing has a steady pace, are easy to read, and have moments of humorous and sharp wit.
Book 1: Remedy Maker – This book centers on royal intrigue, rumors of civil unrest, PTSD, serious environmental problems, and trust issues. Rhycious the centaur is tasked with healing a sickly nymph named Patience. Patience is what she will need to help Rhycious, the centaurs, and the nymph's if they are to all have a bright future.
Book 2: Troll–y Yours – Aleksander a centaur and the most eligible center in all of Boronda. He finds he has less vim and vigor in his life recently. The war and his numerous mindless hook-ups weigh on him. A determined troll named Elle has her life plan in place with no room for error or side trips with handsome centaurs. Both of them end up shaking each other's world's. They find that their lives are on the fast track to trouble, danger, and love?
I've never read a shifter book about centaurs before but found these one's enjoyable. In the future I won't be passing these books up anymore. The two sets of couples find love and a new outlook on life. The road however isn't the yellow brick road. Obstacles, betrayal, and grave danger make their roads hard to travel but they help each other through every issue.

This is an ARC Review in which I received this box set free for a review.
This is the first time I stepped into the world created by the author Sheri Fredricks and I'm happy I did. What a wonderful, full of life and interesting characters she has given us.
Book 1, "Remedy Maker", had us meet the shape-shifting centaur, Rhycious who is a physician and Patience is the wood nymph who mediates balance and peace. They come together as each suffer from ailments that are life threatening but with a common goal.
Book 2, "Troll-y Yours", had us meet the Troll, business woman, Ella and the centaur voted “Most Eligible Bachelor in Boronda”, Aleksander. They come together so that one can find his edge again and one can succeed. Together they face conflict and danger. The ending is most likely written for another volume.
Together these volumes present a well-written mythology with characters that are well developed and has chemistry. The romance is exciting, punctuated by hot sex.
If you've not read anything by Sheri Fredricks, like I hadn't, I highly recommend you read this to not only enjoy her writing style, but to know her world. Enjoy!

I received this book as an ARC and not having read anything from this author before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I fell in love with the box set from the beginning.
Remedy Maker – Rye and Patience are typical opposites – they should never have gotten together, BUT the sparks flying between the two of them really jumps off the page. Love these two characters! The political story behind the scenes allows each of these characters to show their strengths in coping alone as well as together.
Troll-y Yours – Alexander & Ella’s story has lots of action, with the rebels getting more devious. I love the way Alex treats Ella as an equal all through the book. Her family issues aside, she comes to love this stubborn centaur. This box set was great and I hope there will be more centaur books to come in the future.

I guess the mantra for these books should be "Trust no one". There were more twists and turns than a Greek maze.
Remedy Maker
I loved how Rhycious was able to set aside all the racial prejudices he'd had for more than two hundred years and embrace the love he had for Patience. Meanwhile Rhy's best friend Alek would flirt with anything with a pulse. I would love it if Sam and Serenity got their own stories.
Troll-y Yours
Karma hit Alek with a two by four when he met Ella. After growing up in an abusive home and having such low self-esteem, it was sweet watching Ella put a stop to Alek's playboy ways. Will we ever discover what happened to Pennelope?

A wonderful blend of the mystical and the modern. This is a first time read of Sheri Fredricks for me and I thoroughly enjoyed both books. Action packed, exciting and full of drama, the characters are compelling enough that you fall a little bit in love with them. If you are a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon, you will love this series.
I received an ARC of The Centaurs: Series Box Set and this is my honest review.
