Fairytale Shifters
Welcome to the Fairytale Shifter series… where growly alphas find their mates and heroines have babies galore! This bundle includes all of our shifter books with a BRAND NEW STORY in the back! Revisit your old favorites and discover our newest addition to the family.
Finn, Flint, and Forest have spent their lives looking for their mate. The three brothers have been through everything together, and seeing the rest of their family pair off has been hard to watch. But one day, deep in the woods, a small bunny crosses their path when the three of them are in wolf form. To their surprise, they finally find what they’ve been looking for, but it just so happens they all find it at once.
Luna Hare lost her family long ago, and she’s been traveling to different shifter villages, trying to find one that is the right fit. Secretly she’s been hoping to meet another bunny family and possibly find her mate. She never expected that when she’d come to Gray Ridge, she’d not only find a mate, she would find three. Three enormous wolves look hungry, and not for food.
Warning: Bunnies like to make babies, so it’s a good thing she’s got three wolves lined up and waiting to take a turn. This shifter book is over-the-top sweet, and just as dirty as the rest. Come back to Colorado with us, and let’s see how this works out. We have a feeling it’s going to be a happily ever after.

3.5 to 4*
Riding Red - 3.5*
This was hot and entertaining, it starts off funny, Ruby owns and runs the bakery and Gwen has been helping her but her broomstick cookies look like dicks.
Dominic is a wolf shifter and sheriff of Gray Ridge as soon as he scents Ruby (despite the fact that she's human) he knows she's his mate, now he just has to keep control of his wolf, hold himself back and somehow let her know he's a wolf and mate with her. So no problem then?
Ruby finds herself attracted to Dominic at the same time as she's annoyed with him. He's always hanging around her bakery scaring customers away, she'll never stay in business at this rate.
It's a full moon on Sunday and that's the day Dominic will mate with Ruby and both their lives will change forever.
"Sunday.” That must be Dominic’s go-to word, because for some reason Sunday is the answer to everything around here.
This is a really entertaining read I also liked that these wolves are all virgins until they meet their mates.
Beauty Sleeps - 3.5 to 4*
I did this the wrong way round I started with book 3 'The Lost Slipper' (obviously the Cinderella one) and enjoyed it so much I decided to read all four.
The problem is I loved Stone and Winnie's book but I didn't like Stone here at all so maybe if I'd read them in the correct order I wouldn't have enjoyed it so much.
Who knows?
Anyway I digress, back to this book and Xavier and Gwen.
Gwen is great, she's the long suffering sister to the alpha. Stone annoys her since he's always so overprotective but Gwen stands her ground. After-all some of that alpha blood that runs through him also runs through her.
Consequently Gwen needs a strong mate and Xavier is about as physically strong as they come. They used to be friends, he used to be obsessed with her to the extent where he even watched her sleep. But his whole world shattered when Hunters killed his mother and sister and Xavier took off, lived as a wolf for years but the scent of his mate brought him back.
I absolutely loved Xavier he was adorable, doing everything possible to be a good mate.
The Lost Slipper - 3.5*
I really enjoyed this book it had more story than a lot of Alexa's books and I do love a good shifter romance.
Winnie is a bear shifter and she was discovered in the woods in bear form with no memory of anything except her name, she feels an immediate attraction towards Stone the alpha of the Gray Ridge pack and it's Stones constant presence that allows her to shift back into human form.
Stone also feels attracted to Winnie but he's not sure what it is, he's a wolf she's a rare female bear shifter, she's younger than him and so for the sake of everyone he sends her to live with a family within his pack.
This is the Cinderella part, the mean and nasty sisters make her life miserable but finally something changes and Stone recognises her as his mate but Winnie has been pushed away by Stone and suffered at the hands of her 'new' family so she's not feeling so forgiving.
Stone knows Winnie is it for him if she rejects him there'll never be another so he has to win her round but there's a strange scent in the woods near her house.
As always with Alexa's books I wanted more but this is a good read.
Finding Snow -3*
This book features Koda the huge bear shifter and brother to Winnie.
Koda still struggles after the years he spent caged and experimented on, he may have escaped the cage but the nightmares stay. He fears being taken again, he understandably doesn't like humans he avoids large groups and his cabin has huge locks both inside and out.
He lives a solitary existence and longs for a mate and cubs.
Snow ran away from her father when she was just eleven years old. The Denali brothers found her and kept her safe and hidden.
When Koda and Snow meet the attraction is instant but they have more in common then they realise.
The Three Bad Wolves - 3*
Finn, Flint, and Forest are brothers and wolf shifters and they’re as close as any brothers can be. All three of them have still to find their mates and it’s depressing at times since everyone else is mated and happy.
Luna is a bunny shifter who’s also desperate to find her mate, she hopes her mate will be another bunny because apparently it’s true what they say about rabbits and she doesn’t think another shifter will be able to keep up.
Snow is falling Luna is trapped and three naked men come to her rescue and she knows one of them is her mate but which one?
Lucky Luna because all three are her mates and they’re about to find out how exhausting it is to be mated to a bunny.

1. Riding Red
Within the first few sentences, I realized that this collection is full of a series I've already read. What's better than re-reading a set of books you're already in love with?
So there's a virgin overload in this story/series. In this book, Ruby is the human virginal new baker in a town of shifters. Dominic is the beta wolf sheriff. He's sniffed out his mate and he'll claim her on the full moon. In the meantime, he's driving away all traffic to the shop. Only tourists will dare to buy Ruby's wares. It's sexy and sweet and gives a great lead in to the next book - MINE.
2. Beauty Sleeps
This wonderful, smut-filled story is about Gwen and Xavier. They shared a strong emotional bond when they were younger. Imagine their gleeful surprise to realize, years later, that they were mates. Gwen's overprotective brother became a huge obstacle, but Xavier wasn't letting anyone keep him from his mate. Tons of hot loving later, an insane amount of breeding, and we get a happily ever after. We also get a sweet glimpse into Stone and his mate, ending the story with MINE. Loved it!
3. The Lost Slipper
This was Stone and Winnie's story and while it was hella hot, it was also a surprisingly emotional journey to love. Stone's the alpha wolf and Winnie is a lost bear shifter who's been absorbed into the pack. They shared an instant connection, but Stone was worried about how he felt about her, how it would be unfair to his future mate. So he forces a separation that only serves to crush them both. Four years later, Winnie's at the ripe age of claiming and Stone's her mate. But Winnie's hurt over Stone's past treatment and their mating isn't as easy as it should be. When a strange shifter is scented on their land, Stone takes charge and shows Winnie who's boss. Let the non-stop breeding commence!
I enjoyed the honesty between the characters and the overwhelming feeling of family that seeped through the pages. I absolutely loved Stone's sexy alpha ways. Now onto learning more about the new shifter in town!
4. Finding Snow
Koda and Snow's story was utterly ridiculous and OTT with an alpha bear shifter. It was super sweet and a silly retelling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Koda had escaped a facility that tested on shifters and had found his sister and a pack to belong to. Snow, a human, had run away from imprisonment and found a family amidst a pack of wolf brothers. They meet and it was an ovary-exploding extravaganza! Breeding and claiming and sweet love were to be found ;)
5. The Three Bad Wolves
Finn, Forest and Flint were the last of seven brothers to find their mates. They had almost given up hope until they came across bunny shifter Luna. Now when wolves go into heat, they lock up and consume each other until it fades. However, when Luna goes into heat, it puts another meaning to the whole bunny analogy when it comes to sex. I'm not a fan of reverse harem stories, but this one was so silly that I couldn't help but laugh through it all. It was insanely hot and surprisingly adorable. Who knew three men could share a fated mate?
6. Growling For More
Bleu lives an isolated life right outside of the pack. He's lonely and unsure if he'll ever find his forever. Lola has been fooled by her mother for the last time and has decided to move on. She's heard of a shifter community and she wants in. A car accident lands her basically on Bleu's doorstep and her fate is sealed. Tons of incredibly hot moments, breeding and love followed after!
I enjoyed this collection of stories. It gave me everything I've come to expect from Alexa Riley and only made me want more. I recommend this to anyone who needs a good dose of smut in their life!

Finn, Flint, and Forest and Luna
The three bad wolves and the little bunny.
Finn, Flint and Forest are the three unmated brothers of Snow from the book “Finding Snow”. One day they discovered their mate and surprisingly they realize that they have the same mate and she is a completely eatable bunny.
Of course they will chase the bunny like horny dogs.
Alexa Riley have not written many ménage novels. Actually I think I have read 6-7 stories with ménage out of 60 that I have read in total by the two authors.
I think this one is my least favorite. Too much breading is going on – even for my tastes.
...And I really cannot think a fairytale with 3 wolves and a bunny. I think I would have liked it much more if she was a little piggy.
“What do you mean, you don’t have any carrot cake?”
The book also includes all the stories from the Fairytale Shifter series.
My ratings for each one of them are the following:
1. Riding Red – 4 stars
2. Beauty Sleeps – 4 stars
3. The Lost Slipper – 3 stars
4. Finding Snow – 4 stars
5. The three bad wolves – 2 stars

Hello, COVER LUST!!!
All my all time fav novella PNRs together is already an event on its own, but add a delicious FILTHY, breed ménage and I'll ecstatic! Three Big Bad Wolves is without a doubt the dirtiest PNR I've ever read, and I enjoyed every second of it. Only Alexa Riley could take the expressions 'going at it like rabbits', and take it to a whole new level of OTT smutty deliciousness! Non-stopping bunny f@ckery all the way! That is one hell of a horny bunny! Lol ;)
“Are you ready for us?”
I roll over, getting on my knees. I look back over my shoulder.
“The question is,” I say, winking at them, “are you all ready for me?”
Her horny little body craves to be mated, and our three wolves were born ready for this.

It's Live!
**ARC RECEIVED IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW **
Alexa Riley brings us another OTT, sexy, breeding fairytale.
This is love between 3 wolves and a bunny so if that's not your thing, be warned! It was hot, sweet and you know what they say about rabbits!
- No cheating
- No others for any of them- they can only be with their mates, which is my kind of shifter story
- No violence
-steamy
-ok epilogue

fairytale shifters is a compilation of alexa riley's erotic shifter stories, plus a bonus story in this anthology. all the stories were very short (less than 100 pages) so instead of doing a collective review i'm going to briefly write about each individual story!
riding red: 1.5 stars. dominic and ruby's story -- alright there was actually zero chemistry in this one and i didn't really see where the romance was coming from. yes i know it's alexa riley, the queen of instalove, but i really didn't feel this one at all and i couldn't care less about the characters. they didn't have a unique voice and everything was too rushed for any character development.
beauty sleeps: 3 stars. xavier and gwen's story -- this one i liked a lot better. i liked how xavier and gwen had history, and i enjoyed the little sleeping beauty twist as well. xavier really tried to be the best he could be for gwen and his only goal was to make her happy. this was probably my favorite story in the book.
the lost slipper: 3 stars. stone and winnie's story -- a little different from the others in that stone had to sort of court winnie first, but again, everything was suddenly tied up and loose threads discarded too quickly. i really loved stone though because he was a great alpha and always put his pack first. he's loyal and considerate and i appreciate that. i think this was the story that made me feel the most emotion
finding snow: 2 stars. snow and koda's story -- i was getting really bored by this story because the previous ones all followed the same formula. also i thought there would be more relationship development because koda was very wary and distrustful of humans but no, they just went straight at it
the three bad wolves: 1.5 stars. finn, forest, flint + luna's story -- it's a bonus in this anthology! i believe this is the first ménage romance i've read from alexa riley. it definitely didn't live up to my expectations at all because all three heroes were interchangeable and could have been the same dude for all i cared. i really, really dig ménage when it's written well, but this was actual trash.
i'm thinking alexa riley should just stick to writing contemporary erotic romance because i really couldn't stomach all these shifter stories very well at all. also i've really got to be in a certain mood to read her stories because... i absolutely can't tolerate the heroines she writes at all. they're too subservient and submissive for my taste. of course, this is a personal bias and you may enjoy it. these are very safe romance stories -- there's no cheating or drama, it's really just smutty sweetness that's OTT.

"I just love you so damn much. I can't live without you. You know that, right? If you leave me, I'll be nothing. I can't go back to living how I was. I need your sweetness. It balances me. Makes me feel whole. I just --"

He growls, she growls, they all growl…
Reading the Fairytale Shifters was everything I expected from an Alexa Riley smutty read. It was hot, sweet and very sexy…but…along the way my thought processes took a bit of a turn.
When I started and up until the end of Book 2 –
From Book 3 onwards –
I guess it just gets to a stage where the fairytale gets bombarded with reality.
There is definitely a place in my (book reading) world for an Alexa Riley every now and then. I think the problem was that I read so many together that it lost some of its gusto. What started off as extremely powerful and even romantic sexy times, lost intensity by the profusion of screaming “O’s”. I guess I just need to spread out my screaming “O’s” a wee bit. 😉
I do recommend reading an Alexa Riley for a laugh and a screaming "O" once in a while but don't go in expecting a literary masterpiece. These stories are a little rough around the edges and could do with a good edit, but luckily, I got what I expected.

When I started and up until the end of Book 2 –
Wow, that’s HOT!!
I love how possessive he is.
Oooh, I wouldn’t mind someone “marking” me.
Even at her worst, he thinks she’s beautiful…I like it…I like it a lot.
I wonder if I have a distinctive smell that sends hubby crazily in lust???
They can’t keep their hands off each other and he must see her and keep her in touching distance, that is so sweet.
Wow, he wants her again…and again…and again…that is SEXY!!
From Book 3 onwards –
Wow, that’s still really HOT!!
BUT...
Geez man, give her some space.
Yeah, I get it, you don’t like others looking at your mate…OKAAAAY, but think of the scars.
You may still love her at her worst, but don’t give me that hokey B.S. that she’s beautiful even with a red face and a vein pounding in her forehead…SCOFFS!!
Seriously, you’ve been banging like bunnies, you have got to smell a bit rank?!?!
STOP SNEAKING UP ON HER!! That’s getting a wee bit creepy stalkerish.
Wow, he wants her again…and Again…and AGAIN?!?!? That has got to be painful, my stomach muscles are hurting just thinking about it.
I guess it just gets to a stage where the fairytale gets bombarded with reality.

3* very bad bad wolves STARS!
I think this is the last shifter story from Alexa Riley. Dayum that cover! I really want the paperback for collectible purpose *LOL* Ehem.., anyway you already know the formula. Virgin + Alpha = BOOM! A lot of cum scenes. But, what I liked, the heroine is a rabbit shifter that really horny because she hasn't found her true mate. And this three naughty wolves has insta-chemistry with her. I enjoyed the jokes! For real.
However, not really a big fans of their sex scenes. Wayyy too much. I didn't mind the gang bang but they're really fucking nonstop because of the mating heat. Uh huh... Rabbit + Wolf = ??? Overall, I really liked the shifter series from AR. It was really short and entertaining.

My reviews for the first four stories were written separately.
Bonus story: The Three Bad Wolves
I loved that all main characters in this series were virgins and all the heroes were possessive.
The story is about Finn, Flint, Forest and Luna.
These three men are wolf shifters and Snow's brother (book 4 h and they're not related by blood). Luna is a bunny shifter.
Finn, Flint and Forest long for their mates and thought maybe their mates are not in Gray Ridge but they don't want to leave Snow. Dominic (book 1 H) said to be patient.
Luna's been travelling to different shifter villages in hope of finding her mate. She's in Gray Ridge for a few months now and never thought she'll find not only one but three mates.
It has nice epilogues.

4 fated mates stars!

**Disclaimer: For those concerned about safety, the male shifters may be aware of certain urges, but they can't "stand at attention" *wink* until meeting their mate, at which time she becomes the only one they'll ever want, so they're all virgins, the heroine being their one and only.**
Riding Ruby, Book One -
Ruby, the owner of Red's Goodie Basket, is also the new girl in town. She needs to ensure her business thrives, yet that's hard to do when the sheriff, Dominic, insists upon trying to keep customers away. Though she may want to do naughty things with him, she also wants to throttle him for his behavior.
Dominic, a wolf shifter, knows Ruby is his, and so does his wolf. As the mating moon approaches, his instincts are getting harder to control, and so is he. He just needs to wait until the time is right, but until then, he warned the locals to stay away from his mate. He just forgot to only threaten the males, because no one is going inside, aside from tourists.
The night before the full moon, Dominic finally lets himself touch her, wanting to mark her with his scent until he can claim her. Their encounter is explosive, even if Ruby was the only one able to feel pleasure. When she awakens the next morning, she's worried she imagined it all, and, after not seeing Dominic all day as usual, she can't help but feel hurt. As for Dominic, his wolf is very close to losing all control, causing the Alpha, Stone, to take preventive actions.
Though Ruby hadn't planned on offering the option, Gwen accepted it, so it seems as if Ruby is making a delivery. She just didn't expect it to be to a sexy sheriff that turns into a wolf and wants to devour her...cookie.
No questions necessary. Sexy times will be had, mating bonds will fall into place, and a HEA is theirs.
Beauty Sleeps, Book Two -
Xavier, a wolf shifter, has been intrigued with Gwen for years, he just couldn't understand why. But, after tragically losing his mom and sister, everything changed and he left his old life behind, preferring self-exile in the woods.
Gwen, a wolf shifter as well, has reached, and passed, the age where her people are able to recognize their mate, and she can't help but worry she'll never find him.
Little did either know their one has always been right there, and they started building a connection many years ago. Neither could've ever imagined where it would lead.
Xavier smelled his mate recently, knowing she was in town, but her scent clung to another woman, confusing him. Thankfully, Dominic, the sheriff, helped him understand what was going on. Xavier only wants the woman meant to be his, he just needs to find her. However, in the meantime, he's taking steps to prepare for his future mate. That means returning to the home he'd built for when he found his one.
As Gwen and her friend, Winnie, a bear shifter the pack had found abandoned as a cub, enjoy the town's fair, she gets into an argument with her brother, the Alpha, Stone, for his over-protectiveness of Winnie. But, suddenly, Stone goes silent as he must defend himself against a giant of a man. She doesn't recognize him right away, but she does the word he growls...
"Mine." - Xavier
Xavier can't believe his sleeping beauty is truly his. He's thought about her over the years, wondering how she was and with who, regretting having to leave her after his grief consumed him. Just as he's ready to take her to his home, he's suddenly losing consciousness, only to awaken inside a cage. He knows he's grown somewhat wild over the years, but he never thought the Alpha would go this far, nor to keep him from his mate.
Psst...of course Xavier and Gwen get a HEA, but first they must overcome, and anyone, that may try to step them.
The Lost Slipper, Book Three -
Stone, the Alpha, has had a special bond with Winnie since the day she was found and placed in his arms, young, approximately fourteen, and wandering the woods all alone, with no memory of where she came from. But, within a week, he knew he needed to put some distance between them, so he found her a home within the pack, having no idea the suffering she'd endure because of it.
Winnie has felt unwanted her whole life, and has been unable to remember anything, including her own birthday, prior to being found in the woods aside from her first name. And yet, Stone sending her to live with someone else, and his actions toward her since, are what hurt the most. He treats her differently than everyone else, and not in a "she's special to him" way.
Though shifters can't find their mates until they turn eighteen, they can feel a connection to another, such is the case with Stone and Winnie. He just didn't know what he was experiencing, especially as he was older than Winnie. But, the day he walks into his sister's house, everyone unaware it's Winnie's eighteenth birthday, everything clicks into place.
"Mine." - Stone
It's Winnie's dream come true, but her heart is breaking because she believes Stone doesn't really want her. He didn't choose her to be his, nature did, and she can't stop the sob from breaking free.
“Did I hurt you?” - Stone
“When haven’t you hurt me?” - Winnie
Stone is confused, unable to understand what she means. He's only ever protected Winnie, doing everything he can to ensure she's safe, even watching her over the years since he placed her with the Stocktons. But when he realizes how his distance over the years has hurt her, he vows to do everything he can to make it up to her, to prove his love for her.
Just as Stone and Winnie begin their new lives together, her past resurfaces, and Stone worries it may try to take her from him.
Have no fear, of course it all works out. HEAs are what Alexa Riley does.
Finding Snow, Book Four -
Koda, a bear shifter, joined the Gray Ridge Pack after escaping from three and a half years of captivity and finally being reunited with his little sister, Winnie (see book three, The Lost Slipper), following six months of searching for her. He's become one of the pack and has found a family again, along with the sister he practically raised.
Snow is also fleeing from her past, and has made her own family in the seven years since with others like her...survivors. But, as some of them find their mates, it's just her and Finn, Forest, and Flint, brothers to one another and of her heart. They're all tired of traveling and settle in Gray Ridge due to it's more laid back rules. However, the guys still insist Snow remain hidden in order to keep her safe. But, she just turned eighteen, so she wants as normal a life as possible.
Unable to handle the quiet once the guys leave for work, Snow decides to explore the area around their cabin. Running as fast and as far as she can, enjoying the snow, the freedom, and the peace that comes along with it.
Koda awakens from a nightmare of his time in captivity, thankful to remember he's free, even if the past still has a hold on him. He can't help but be lonely as those around him bask in their mated lives, believing that will never happen to him. But, when he does think about a mate, a vision always comes to mind, then vanishes before he can recall why she looks familiar. A walk in the woods is exactly what he needs. His bear is suddenly alert, wanting out, needing out, focused on the figure laying in the snow. Upon seeing her, his instinct is to claim her, but once he realizes she's human, he wants to run away as fast as possible. Humans hurt, they destroy, they almost did both to him, and yet, he can't...she's his, but he doesn't have to like it.
Snow, having witnessed the evil of humans around her, including that of her own father, understands his anger. As he talks, his thoughts on humans clear, she begins to piece together his past, and worries he may have been one of those she couldn't save when she ran. But she had to, knowing her dad was planning on experimenting on her next.
Koda feels the pull, the ache when he's away from her, but his past haunts him, and with her being human...but, what he didn't know until Winnie told him after answering a few mating questions, is that tonight is the mating moon.
But what happens when Koda learns Snow's true identity? How will Snow react upon being told of Koda's last actions before he escaped? Can he ever love his mate when she's human? Yeah, we all know it'll work out and be a HEA.
The Three Bad Wolves, Book Five -
Wolf shifters, Finn, Flint, and Forest, have watched the brothers and sister of their hearts find happiness with their mates and wonder if they'll ever experience it.
Luna, a bunny shifter, has been visiting different shifter villages since she was eighteen, hoping for one to feel like home, meaning her mate was there. In Gray Ridge, she finds it and so much more.
You know that saying, "going at it like bunnies?" Yeah, it's true, but, since she can't achieve completion without her mate, what's the point? So she's spent the last two years needing that connection with another and never finding it. As she heads home from the bakery, she worries she won't make it in time with the quickly accumulating snow.
Finn, Flint, and Forest long for their mates, yet they haven't found them in Gray Ridge, and though they don't want to leave their sister, Snow (see book four, Finding Snow), and agreed they were done moving, they worry they're missing their chances to meet them.
As the brothers go about their day, each become intrigued by something they can't quite put their finger on. It isn't long before they each realize "I've found my mate." When they come upon someone stranded in the snow, they discover a bunny shifter...their mate. Yes, some wolves may view bunnies as prey, and they definitely want to eat her, but she'll enjoy every second of it.
Luna is so thankful the three men arrived and saved her from possible death as she got stuck in the snow. But, when she hears all three of them simultaneously say that magical word, "mine," her animal is going crazy, knowing it's about to get its bunny on, yet there's fear too, as well as confusion. However, the three wolf shifters don't seem happy discovering their mate is the same woman.
As Luna realizes she won't have to choose between the three, her heat hits, and it's easy to see why she was given three wolves to love and to love her.
Psst...I love that these wolf shifters mate with a bunny named Luna.

A bundle filled with many goodies, that is definitely recommended it to everyone!!!
~Review for the fifth book of the series!~
I've missed so much AR shifter stories and this one I have to say that was perfect I mean three wolves as heroes and a bunny shifter heroine??? It was an amazingly sweet quick story, loved everything and really enjoyed all the characters.
Luna is very sweet and shy heroine, the perfect match for Finn, Flint, and Forest who are bold, cavemen and very possessive. Also, we got some really steamy, explosive scenes and HEA with two sugary epilogs... What's more to ask?? I can't wait to read their next great creation!

Esta novela no me convencio nada, quizas porque estos protagonistas me resultaron muy extraños ( incluso para ser una creacion de Alexa Riley ), sinceramente prefiero un millon de veces mas las historias anteriores, esta quinta parte es demasiado superficial y absurda.
1.5 Estrellas!

I went through these stories so freaking quickly!
Okay, so Fairytale Shifters is divided into five books. All books deliver a good amount of smut and they all are set in one place: Gray Ridge.
The first book, Riding Red, is about Ruby and Dominic. Ruby is a human and the mate of Dominic who is a wolf shifter. There's obvious attraction between the two so of course you end up rooting for these two idiots to get together. Ruby owns a bakery and works with Gwen, who is the alpha's sister. However, Ruby doesn't know she lives in a shifter community. When she finally realizes and sees Dominic in his wolf form.. well she does the opposite of whatever a normal person would do. LIKE RUN OR SCREAM OR FREAK OUT. No she's like cool.. my man is a wolf and I'm turned on. You do you girl! I really liked the scenes at the bakery - especially whenever Gwen baked anything #dickshapedcookies.
The second book, Beauty Sleeps, is about Ruby's friend Gwen (who was mentioned in the first book) and Xavier. They've known each other for a long time but when Xavier disappears and comes back years later.. well things aren't so insta in this book. Yes, they have been attracted to each other for basically ever but Stone, Gwen's brother and the Alpha, for some reason tries to keep them separated. In the end, they end up together and all of the smut was glorious. I also really liked meeting Winnie in this book!! I guess the only thing that annoyed me in this book (and every other book after) was that they didn't call him Xavier.. no they called him X all the god damn time. I was getting so annoyed with X.
The third book, The Lost Slipper, is about the alpha Stone and Winnie the pooh! Yeah, she's a bear shifter (hence the reference!). I guess it's not really common for bears and wolves to mate.. well bears are super rare.. but I loved them so much! I didn't like the "step bitches" in this book because they thought Winnie was beneath them. Turns out they are just twats who needed to learn their place real quick. Besides that Winnie was found without any memory of how she was in the woods or where she was form. Until the day her brother, Koda, shows up and everything magically clicks. Low and behold, SHE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING! I felt like things kind of were rushed in this book.. and I really wanted more.
The fourth book, Finding Snow, is about Snow and Koda. This was a really good book because he gave you such a good twist! I also really liked how Koda mated with a human! ANOTHER HUMAN MATED! Well these two have something in common: Snows evil and super dead dad. Snow ran away from the crazy man and Koda was held captive there until the day he killed him and walked out of that place like a boss. I loved their relationship so much and alllll of the smut in it!
Last but not least, the fifth book is called Three Bad Wolves. It's about three of Snow's "brothers" and Luna, who is a bunny shifter. YAY NEW ANIMAL! Also I'm kind of thinking of thumper from bambi right now.. Anyhoo, there was so much freaking smut in this book. A lot of sex and right now I don't envy bunnies. That's like way too much sex. Also, she only got like 4 kids out of alllll that sex? I would think the babies would just constantly come out of her like a vending machine or a slide. Insane to think about but hey.. everyone would be in really good shape.. right?
Overall, I loved these books and I'm so happy I sort of snuck into a buddy read thread and wanted to join. Thanks for letting me join guys! I need more Alexa in my life!!

I always know when I pick up an Alexa Riley book I'm going to be satisfied. And let me tell you this one has 3 times the satisfaction.
I love this paranormal romance.
I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book.

This book is perfect when you're up for a challenge. It's easy to read and guaranteed that you could immediately finish in a limited period of time. It's a book with 5 stories. All characters are adorable especially Koda. xD I can't help but make Winnie and Stone's story my fave. It's the longest and has more side characters compared to the rest.

"Fairytale Shifters" is a collection of all the books in the FS series- along with an additional story "The Three Bad Wolves". My review is for the latter.
Finn, Flint and Forest are three wolves who haven't found their mate, and think its three different women. Much to their surprise, its actually one horny bunny shifter Luna.
Insta attraction- check
Hot sex- check
Three sausages and one bun- check
Carrots and bunny jokes- check
Breeding- check
Hot kinky epilogue- check
Enjoyed this short read- though I really wanted it to be longer. We can never have too much of an AR sausage fest.
Safe

I feel like my eyes are open, and I am blushing. Have mercy y’all, these dang books! My faves were Dom & Evie’s (Red Riding Hood) story and Xavier & Gwen (Sleeping Beauty) I can always count on AR for binging the hotness, sweetness and sexy alphas. I would definitely reread this!!

Though I do not read paranormal romances often, I do enjoy them from time to time. And I must say, I loved reading the Fairytale Shifter series from Alexa Riley! It was all Alexa Riley with hot, sexy shifters and the woman who own them.
Until I received an advanced review copy of their brand-new story, The Three Bad Wolves, I did not even realize Alexa Riley had any paranormal books. But I am so glad I discovered this series. This edition includes all the previous stories, four total, and the new story of the three bad wolves and their bunny.
In Three Bad Wolves, Finn, Flint and Forest, the remaining three of seven brothers that took care of Snow, have not found their mate. They are close and happy, but want to find their mates. What they do not realize, is their mate is none other than Luna Hare, the bunny shifter who has not been in town long.
They do not understand what is happening or why, but you know that saying, “Going at it like bunnies”, well get ready for now hot, crazy and steamy ride! Because Luna is going to need all three wolves to satisfy her needs! In Alexa Riley fashion, this story was over-the-top sexy, fun and sweet. I loved every minute of it!
Side note, I read the previous four novellas as well and loved them. They are a different take on fairytales characters we know and love with a whole lot of sexy and steamy! Another great read from this writing duo!

What another awesome shifter romance novella read from the duo Alexia Riley. This tells the love story Finn, Flint, Forest and Luna Hare. This is the 5th book in the Fairytale Shifter series and what a insta-love fun for all!!
Luna just moved to Gray Ridge and she is sad and frustrated that she hasn’t met her mate yet. She hopes it happens soon for she wants mates, wants a family. Being a bunny shifter means she could go all night long and then some… she hasn’t yet done that so she cannot wait to find her true mate that has the stamina to meet her needs. This is where we meet the 3 sexy, hunky wolves-- Finn, Flint, and Forest – who we met in Finding Snow. They are three of Snow's "brothers" and they have moved to Grey Mountain. These are 3 men who haven’t yet found their mates and wonder if they ever will.
What brings the 4 of them together is a VW bug, a crash and animal heat. It makes for some wild and crazy times but what a way to go. The sexy times are smuttylicious good and very much enjoyed the epilogue. Luna, Finn, Flint and Forest make a great couple. 3 wolves plus a highly sexual bunny – oh hella yea! We also get to see some of Ruby and Dominic. Awwww {smile} This is a book that will make you smile and get all sweaty in a good way!
My Rating: 4.9 stars *****

This is the fifth book in the Fairytale Shifter series by Alexa Riley and I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this adorable book. We met Finn, Flint, and Forest in Finding Snow, they are three of Snow's "brothers" who took her in when she was a child running from her psycho father. They had four other brothers too but they found their mates and have moved out. The three brothers are very close and as much as they want to find their mates they don't want to leave each other. Flint is the quiet, serious one, Forest is the outgoing joker, and Finn is the leader of the trio. Finn is happy when his brothers are happy and when they're sad he feels uneasy until he can make things better for them. Luna Hare is a bunny shifter who is new to Gray Ridge and she's a little skittish of wolves. She's become fast friends with Ruby (Riding Red) and lives in her and Dominic's guest house. Luna reached her mating age two years ago when she was 18 but she still hasn't met her mate. Bunny shifters are horny all the time and she hopes she can find a mate who can keep up with her, little did she know she would find three of them. This was really sweet but also hot as hell with a cute epilogue.

Прочитала всі новели, окрім останньої. Бо вона суперечить всієї суті цього всесвіту з перевертнями та їх єдиною парою. Але інші 4 були цікаві ретелінги казок. І авторка цікаво прописала звірині звичаї

5/1/18 A fun, sexy read with shifters and menage, loved this additional story! The whole series was fantastic, I loved how they all seemed to mix more than one fairy tale into the story.
