The Rescue Bears series

Ex-Navy SEALS save lives, and find love, on the snowy peaks of Fate Mountain

Chief Bear (Rescue Bears #1) (Fate Mountain Shifters #1)

Worlds apart...

On Fate Mountain, Levi Blackthorn is alpha of his bear clan and leader of the search-and-rescue crew the Rescue Bears. He and his fellow ex-Navy SEALs are closer than brothers. In a world where shifters often battle prejudice and even violence from humans, they face whatever comes together!

Juliet Hernandez is a soft-hearted, strong-willed graphic designer with a close circle of friends. She doesn’t like risk, but she’s always there when someone needs her...

Brought together...

One of Levi’s crew has started a shifter-human dating website. Despite his misgivings, Levi signs up - after all, male shifters outnumber females, and both man and bear are ready to find a mate and settle down...

When he meets his curvy human match, his bear roars in approval - and Levi wants to claim her immediately. But it’s not that easy. Juliet’s last relationship was hell, and though the handsome alpha’s touch makes her melt, his possessiveness makes her wary!

To give fate a hand...

Can Juliet let go of her past and trust the wild heart of her shifter mate, enabling them to forge a bond deeper than any challenge the world might bring? Or will their differences prove too great to overcome?

Wild Bear (Rescue Bears #2) (Fate Mountain Shifters #2)

A bad bear...

Shane Keenan has survived everything life’s thrown at him. Growing up with an abusive stepfather who broke his bear’s mind left Shane unable to fully control his shifts. He went from famous chef to being forced to fight in a human war because of the wild bear inside him!

Now he’s finally back home on Fate Mountain - and his toughest challenge yet is waiting...

Bruised hearts...

Lily Mason has her own scars from growing up with an alcoholic mother. She’s loved Shane for years, and when a human/shifter dating site pairs them, she finally tells Shane the shocking truth about their last night together!

Shane can’t risk being around Lily or her son Theo, not when he can’t control his bear. But Lily knows she and Shane are true mates - and she’s tired of waiting for him to claim her!

Fateful choices...

When Theo runs away, Shane knows he’ll do anything to bring him back. Can he find a way to heal his bear, save the child… and persuade his mate to give him another chance?


Big Bear (Rescue Bears #3) (Fate Mountain Shifters #3)

Quick match...

Big, burly woodworker Angus Grant is an ex-Navy SEAL and second in command on the Rescue Bears crew. He’s eager to settle down, so when he finally gets a perfect match on the shifter-human dating site started by one of the crew, he can’t wait to contact her!

Nerdy, introverted bookkeeper Poppy Robins would like to find a man, but when she signs up on the dating site, she doesn’t expect to get an almost-instant text from a bear shifter saying she’s his mate. Still, she’s ready for a change - and since she just discovered she might be working for the mob, getting out of town sounds like a good idea!

Slow burn...

Poppy calls in sick, packs up her pet parrot Malcolm, and heads for Fate Mountain. She quickly learns that Angus is sweet, sexy, and romantic. Falling for him is easy - but how can she share her job worries when she’s not even sure what’s going on?

Angus knows curvy, bespectacled Poppy belongs with him. But he's reluctant to go too far with a human woman who might not be willing to commit...

Hot trouble...

When Poppy disappears on his alpha Levi’s wedding day, Angus has to do the impossible. Can he track his mate and rescue her from whatever trouble she’s in, make it back for the wedding… and still find time to practice his best-man speech?


Brew Bear (Rescue Bears #4) (Fate Mountain Shifters #4)

Dashed hopes...

Drew Bock is thrilled when he meets his fated mate at a wedding and the chemistry between them is immediate and overwhelming! But when she runs away after their one amazing night together, cutting herself off from him...

WOW!!! Every single one of these stories about these hot bears from Fate Mountain are awesome! I just wish I had been able to read them all like this in one box set...You don't know how great this is for anyone just starting these great stories, from The Rescue Bears, The Patrol Bears to the Timber Bear Ranch series...Plus a little extra in there for good measure.

These bears are all returned vets, who risk all to work as a unit rescuing campers, hikers, and other humans lost, often in bad weather and others are there to serve and protect the residents of Fate Mountain. But most importantly they want what all bears want whether they admit it or not—a mate.
When one of the bears, an IT genius, creates a dating app guaranteed to find THE ONE, the rest is just a meeting away.

So, grab yourself some water for the heat and hose for the fire cause you are in for the ride of your life. ENJOY!

I was given this boxed set, but let me tell you that my review is 1000% my idea because these are all great books!

Lots of burly bear shifters to keep you warm and entertained on fate mountain.

CHIEF BEAR (rescue bears 1)
4*
Levi is the leader of the Rescue bears but his life is missing the one thing he desperately wants, a mate ! That is until a dating app matches him to Juliet, can a bear and a human overcome their differences and find a love that lasts forever ?
Levi and Juliet's intense heated attraction creates some page turning scorching scenes in this rather sweet love story.
I'm looking forward to hearing the other rescue bears stories as this series continues.
WILD BEAR (rescue bears 2)
4*
In this book we get Shane and Lily's story, I think I liked this one more than the first book, probably because Shane is damaged and broken, what girl doesn't like a challenge right ?
Our bad boy bear shifter is in for a shock but will he do what he's always done and run or can he pull himself together to be the man (and bear) he wants to be and Lily needs, before she gives up and leaves for good ?
This story contains an oh so Hot brooding, broken bear shifter who'll melt not only your panties but also your heart.
BIG BEAR (rescue bears 3)
4*
Angus's turn to meet his mate in this book. The Big bear is thrilled when poppy agrees to meet him and with Levi + Juliet's wedding on the horizon it seems like perfect timing but when her Russian mob boss decides to make Poppy disappear for good, will our hero bear shifter be enough to protect her ?
This is a good enjoyable read with a good mix of love, lust and excitement. So put your feet up and lose yourself in the Rescue Bears of Fate Mountain.
BREW BEAR (rescue bears 4)
4*
When Drew's fated mate disappears from his life and seemingly drops off the face of the earth, the morning after he claims her, his heart is completely shattered by her betrayal of the sacred shifter bond and steels himself to life alone, but when she turns up out of the blue nearly a year later his emotions are thrown into turmoil once again.
Quinn, desperately needs help and finds herself with no other option but to reach out to Drew and face her mistake of running out on him but can they overcome all the guilt and pain ? can Drew ever find a way to trust Quinn not to destroy him completely ?
This is a short but sweet story and I look forward to reading about the rest of the rescue bears.
SKI BEAR (rescue bears 5)
4*
Zach and Maisie are the sweetest pairing out of this series so far, whereas the other books had a little drama and angst at times, this one is a gentle and sweet read.
Zach is athletic and a champion skier, Maisie is a pastry chief just returned from working in Paris, these two couldn't be more opposite but fate has declared they're perfect for each other.
If I'm honest I would have preferred a bit more drama but it's still an enjoyable read
GEEK BEAR (rescue bear 6)
4*
Meeting his mate was never going to run smoothly for Corey, he's never wanted a mate and even after meeting Willow, he's still determined that they can't be together but the mating pull is proving hard to fight.
Willow finds herself being deeply hurt by the mixed messages coming from Corey and knows she needs to leave, unable to face the heartache anymore but when Willows life is in danger, Corey realises what a fool he's been and he, along with the rescue bears, will do everything they can to save her but is it too late to keep his mate by his side ?
I've really enjoyed reading about the rescue bears and hope we get to hear more from the residents of fate mountain.

COMMANDER BEAR (bear patrol 1)
4*
I love the residents of Fate Mountain, we've followed the Rescue bears and now it's the turn of the Bear Patrol.
What's the Chief of police to do when he finds his mate and she's a Jewel Thief ? everything he can, that's what.
An enjoyable read involving a panther jewel thief, a Russian mob boss and a sexy bear shifter and some handcuffs ! Well what else would you expect a police officer to use to control his sexy and frustratingly stubborn mate ?
DETECTIVE BEAR (bear patrol 2)
4*
Gauge goes undercover to infiltrate a drug ring that he's sure is holed up somewhere on Fate Mountain and comes across Lola, she's being held captive and forced to cut the drugs for distribution.
Finding your mate whilst you're pretending to be someone else is difficult enough but finding out she's the stepsister to the deranged, drug addicted man you're looking for makes things even more difficult, can Gauge save Lola and take down the drug lab ?
An enjoyable read with some interesting twists and turns.
CADET BEAR (bear patrol 3)
4*
Rose is sure her sister has been kidnapped but when Maria's disappearance is shrugged off as just another runaway teen by the police, Rose refuses to accept this and her instincts lead her to fate mountain.
Rose finds something else on fate Mountain in the shape of cadet bear, Heath and what they uncover together in the search for Maria is bigger and more horrific than they could have ever imagined.
TECH BEAR (bear patrol 4)
3.5*
I liked Damien (tech bear) and Raven, they are perfect for each other both being teckies.
Raven came to fate mountain looking for her mother who disappeared 20 years ago and who better to help her solve the mystery than bear shifter Damien, tech bear for the Fate Mountain police and unbeknown to her has been her online gaming partner for the last 7 years. They soon discover why they've felt drawn to each other online when Raven joins Mated .com.
I love the bears of fate mountain but this book for me wasn't as good as the others, the storyline was ok but at times felt like it was being stretched out with repetition and had no real excitement.
DEPUTY BEAR (bear patrol 5)
4*
After splitting from her boyfriend Harper Brown ends up on fate mountain trying to figure out how she starts all over again but after getting a job and being paired with the sexy bear shifter Deputy Knox Carter things may be looking up, that it until she becomes the prime suspect in a murder!
Another great story from the fate mountain bears. I loved Knox's character, to help his mate he'll have to go against his boss and Alpha commander Rollo Morris, a great deal of tension ensues but Knox won't stop till he's proved his mate innocent.

BOSS BEAR (timber bear ranch 1)
3*
This was a sweet story, Leland and Sylvia meet under not ideal circumstances, can they get past the difficulties and have a future together ?
I do love the bears of fate mountain but this one left me with some unanswered questions regarding the Hyenas and was very very short so it was a bit too much insta love for me, I like to feel the connection between characters and there just wasn't time in this book for that to happen.
SAW BEAR (timber bear ranch 2)
3.5 stars because the start was a little confusing, Buck (saw bear) is paired with Maria on mates.com then received a text from her saying something had happened and they couldn't be together, when he went to find her he finds she disappeared the night before but then we swap to Maria and it comes across as tho she's been living with this "incident" for quite some time not just since the night before ?
But that aside this is another enjoyable story from fate mountain, I did enjoy the storyline as a whole, the difficulties the mates had to face and the incident that caused the problems, it was interesting and resulted in uncertainty over whether the pair could ever be together.
Definitely worth a read.
MOUNTAIN BEAR (timber bear ranch 3)
4*
Will Daisy really be able to tame Mountain bear ? They say opposites attract but Daisy and Cyrus are poles apart, the pampered princess and The gruff grizzly shifter in self-imposed isolation, could mate.com really have got it wrong ?
An enjoyable read in which we get to meet the elusive Cyrus when fate decides to turn his world upside down.
MECHANIC BEAR (timber bear ranch 4)
4*
Jessie is the youngest of the Kincaid brothers and a confirmed bachelor, even after seeing how happy mating has made his brothers he still never wanted a mate of his own until he came face to face with Dana.
When Dana escaped from the Updike clan she couldn't wait to get far away and enjoy her freedom but it seems freedom is out of reach when she's faced with murder charges!
I do enjoy visiting the residents of Fate mountain, this is an enjoyable read with a head to leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy.

LION’S HALLOWEEN BABY
4*
Lion shifter Rowan decides the thing he wants most in life is to find his mate and settle down.
Hedge witch Geneva is lacking direction until the spirt of her mother points her in the right direction where she finds something she didn't realise she was missing.
Fate Mountain weaves its own magic in bring these two together.
An enjoyable love at first sight tale.
COWBOY BEAR’S CHRISTMAS SURPRISE
4*
Connor Milton had given up finding his mate when she quite literally crashed into his life.
Mia Royce is terrified, she got mixed up with some bad people and is now running hoping to get far enough away that they won't be able to find her but when she crashes on a ranch on fate Mountain she developes amnesia and has no idea who she is or why she's there.
Danger eventually comes knocking but will Connor be able to protect Mia and finally have the mate he's always dreamed of?
A nice little Christmas tale from Fate Mountain. A hot bear shifter who'll do anything to protect his mate and a HEA so curl up with a cup of cocoa and enjoy.
BEAUTY AND THE BAD BEARLIONAIRE
4*
A sweet and romantic take on the Beauty and the Beast tale.
James Hill is a reclusive billionaire living on Fate mountain in what appears to be a haunted mansion or is he just losing his mind ?
Matilda Swank has returned to fate mountain and has no option but to work for her mums cleaning company, when she's sent to work at James's home because no one else will work for the grumpy bear shifter, she gets the feeling there's something strange about the house !

2022 Review: 2.75/5 ⭐️
Lots of comedic moments but one scene made me snort out of surprise and accidentally exhaled orange juice out of my nose. It was when the spirit mom from the bonus books said "sign up for Mate.com and find your true love". Corey must have been paying serious money cause the site's getting advertised even in the other realms.

2023 Review: 2.17/5 ⭐️
🐻 Rescue Bears
Book 1 (Chief Bear): ⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️⚪️
~ Levi (chief of rescue bears) & Juliet (graphic designer)
~ the ex plot was kinda good, too bad it wasn't explored that much
Book 2 (Wild Bear): ⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️⚪️
~ Shane (chef; the one that got away) & Lily (single mom/waitress)
~ there was more plot but i kinda hated it? 🐸
Book 3 (Big Bear): ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️
~ Angus (big burly woodworker) & Poppy (nerdy introverted bookkeeper)
~ mafia story in the mix but not enough to make it that much interesting
~ plus point for the parrot matchmaking 💜
Book 4 (Brew Bear): ⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️⚪️
~ Drew (bar owner) & Quinn (runaway preggo)
~ quinn's reaction was more realistic imo and I guess for a short story it was handled quite well
Book 5 (Ski Bear): ⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️⚪️
~ Zach (ski instructor; former stripper 😳 for bachelorette's only i think) & Maisie (baker & sucks at skiing)
~ meet cute couple

~ love that the ending didn't include a pregnancy or proposal cliche 😌
🐻 Bear Patrol

~ Rollo (chief of police) & Zoe (jaguar/Angus' apprentice during the day, thieving thief at night)
~ interesting start for the series (way better than Book 1 :3)
~ heroine wasn't a damsel in distress but she was also a bit dumb in the final shooting scene 🤦🏼‍♀️
Book 8 (Detective Bear): ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️
~ Gauge (detective; undercover as a misogynistic terrorist) & Lola (prisoner of stepbrother's gang; loves berries & tryst under the moonlight)
~ plot was decent, trial scene was decent (like tv series decent)
~ I'm starting to hate how they use corey's "random probability generator" on every freaking situation like bruh why not use your own analysis and not rely completely on probabilities ☹️ I'm beginning to think that this whole book relies on Mate.com (like this more) and that fuckass generator (hate this)
Book 9 (Cadet Bear): ⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️⚪️
~ Heath (small town rookie cop) & Rosa (human-trafficking-ring huntress)
~ i liked the mystery, as usual
~ kinda not into the idea that she can somehow 'feel' where her sister is, so okay how does that even work 😐
~ hate how she reacted to maria's defiance, like girl are you serious? that little girl was just kidnapped and you can't be sympathetic and understanding? bruh she had every right to rebel as much as she want to cause you also haven't been able to adjust for her instead she's the only one who had to adjust
Book 10 (Tech Bear): ⚫️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️
~ Damien (tech bear paladin) & Raven (rogue elf hacker)
~ "the RPG has concluded that there is a 95% chance that Marvin had something to do with your mother's disappearance" OKAY...HOW? Convince me how a fucking probability generator can conclude that AND why you need it in the first place? 🤡
~ and what the flipping hell do you mean their fuckass lab test resulted in a 99% match to raven's DNA being equal to her mom. EXCUSE ME WHAT?! HOW TF DID HER MOM HAVE AN ALMOST EXACT GENETIC MAKE UP AS HER DAUGHTER? IS RAVEN A CLONE?!!!
Book 11 (Deputy Bear): ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️

🐻 Timber Bear Ranch
Book 12 (Boss Bear): ⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️⚪️
~ Leland (big boy cowboy) & Sylvia (sassy auditor/accounting extraordinaire)
~ it's a good introduction to the new clan but it's also been too repetitive at this point that it's getting boring now
~ im excited for Cyrus' story tho
~ you introduced a cat and failed to make it a big part of the fmc's life? ☹️ I'm more disappointed than a Swiftie who lost in the Ticketmaster war
Book 13 (Saw Bear): ⚫️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️
~ Buck (timber man) & Maria (probably carries a shifter repellent spray if it exists)
~ i thought jessie was just a flirt turns out he's a freaking playboy, god forbid his mate is a virgin ffs i would immediately rate that book 1/5 🙄
~ one second she hates being touched but the moment the assaulter dies she's suddenly okay to be touched? SA victims would like to disagree 🫥
Book 14 (Mountain Bear): ⚫️⚫️⚪️⚪️⚪️
~ Cyrus (currently resides in the folklore forest) & Daisy (shopaholic barbie; comes with a yorkshire terrier)
~ a grumpy mountain man & a sassy city barbie? youve caught my attention
~ the conflict with his past was introduced but wasn't explored properly, his relationship with his brothers was basically non-existent other than the day they went down the mountain, and wares? girl what wares are you making and selling? 🤦🏼‍♀️
~ i really wanted to love it but i'm too disappointed
Book 15 (Mechanic Bear): ⚫️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️
~ Jessie (playboy dirt bike racer & mechanic) & Dana (foxy escape artist with a deadly getaway car)
~ well you've guessed it: he's a playboy and she's a virgin 🙄
~ "I've found that times like these are the best time to party." REALLY LELAND?? REALLY? The girl's in jail and you want to party instead of meet and plan on how to help her? 😤
~ this was the MOST boring wrongfully-arrested-for-murder plot and it's coupled with the playboyxvirgin trope 🤮
🐻 Bonus Books
Book 16 (Lion's Halloween Baby): ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚪️
~ Rowan (newest lion in town; Harley rider rawr) & Geneva (baddest bitch--i mean witch in fate mountain)
~ it was a nice combination of short, sweet, and uncomplicated
~ we get introduced to a witch coven living within the fate mountain and although the story was extremely short, we were still able to get a grasp of how the coven works as well some of their capabilities (herbal, rituals, rebirth, elemental manipulation, portals, etc.)
~ still love mama tisha advertising Mate.com in the afterlife 😆 COREY BETTER BE PLAYING MAAM TISHA SOME BIG BUCKS CAUSE THAT WAS EFFECTIVE AF
Book 17 (Cowboy Bear's Christmas Surprise): ⚫️⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️

~ dude just learned that most of his furnitures are alive (enchanted by the original owner, a mage) and he was like "now that you dont have to clean anymore, i get more sexy time" which he did--right on the couch--in front of all the furnitures that may or may not be alive (WHAT IF THE COUCH ITSELF IS ALIVE??) 🫣 i'm gonna file a sexual harassment complaint in behalf of that couch.

Rescue Bears
This is all about the bears that started it all. Ex-Navy SEALs that comprise the Search and Rescue team on Fate Mountain and how each found the woman of their dreams (even if they didn’t want a mate). Each of the six relationships has it’s own challenges and the bears’ work together as a team towards a happily ever after for each one.

Bear Patrol
You get an up close and personal look into the lives of the five bear shifters that make up the Fate Mountain Sheriff's Dept. Each story details how the officer met his mate and the trials they have to go through to get to that happy ever after. I read each and every one and was never bored.

Timber Bear Ranch
These are the stories of the four Kincaid brothers and their struggles to save their ranch and their mates on Fate Mountain. These guys are a little more private than the Bear Patrol and the Rescue Bears. They are defending their family from a cruel and evil hyena clan that want their little piece of Fate Mountain.

This is one of my favorite series. The characters are well thought out, fully developed and very complicated. Just like real life. Each and every book has drama, action, fun and plenty of romance and always a happy ending.

True to Fate Mountain love reigns supreme. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. I highly recommend all of the Fate Mountain books and this is the ultimate way to read them.

Good stories. Horrible editing.

I've been heavily into shifter stories lately. This set came up as recommended by Amazon. Eighteen stories in one book seemed like a great deal. I'd never read about bear shifters before, so I welcomed something new.

I downloaded the sample, which has the first story and part of the second. Despite editing errors, I went ahead and bought the whole set.

I like the characters, and how the stories had them interwoven throughout. That made it feel like a comprehensive series.

BUT... The editing is atrocious. I gave it a pass in the sample, but every single story has numerous glaring errors. There are misspellings, and an obscene amount of incorrect homophones. I don't know who edited this, but they need to find a different profession.

I'm an author. I'm also the editor-in-chief of an indie publishing house. My inner editor never shuts off. I felt more like a beta reader reading a manuscript before it went for line editing.

Some of the stories had a weaker plot. They all have a HEA ending. I would have liked to have more conflict to resolve before the characters get to that point.

Polish up the editing, punch up the plot, and this will be a formidable series.

There are 18 books in this series! Wow. We have The Rescue Bears series, the Bear Patrol series, the Timber Bear Ranch series, and three bonus books which show us a look into Halloween, Christmas, and college. For me, a fast reader, there was almost 23 hours of reading time in this book. Be prepared for this series to take you a while to read. Just remember that it is worth it. Thoughout the books, we see the Rescue Bears and their mates, the Bear Patrol members and their mates, the Updike Hyena pack and now the Kincaid clan from the Timber Bear Ranch. Watching what happens with all these human females, who is changed and who isn't, and how is fascinating. There are times where you really wonder if there will be an HEA for the couple or not. Several of the stories are rife with seemingly impossible struggles and hurdles. Can they overcome them? We see people who are missing or hiding out in the wild. Why do they do it? We see the fun of those who are on Patrol or in Rescue as they work together in teams to help both humans and shifters a like. This is truly a fascinating series to read. Enjoy the books. I certainly did!

It has been a long journey meeting the characters of Fate Mountain, from the rescue team of werebears, returned vets, who risk all to work as a unit rescuing campers, hikers, and other humans lost, often in bad weather. They want what all bears want whether they admit it or not—a mate.
When one of the bears, an IT genius, creates a dating ap guaranteed to find THE ONE, the rest is just a meeting away.
Often there are those out there who don't want the matings to happen. Sometimes the Fate Mountain police force steps in, more bears in search of family, they too find their mates and happiness.
More and more groups of great guys rescue, find, meet, lucky human women in most cases.
As the story continues, the IT genius extends his talent to share with more, bringing others and some evil as well. A fun, sexy journey with hot guys and curvy ladies. A great read, an unmatched deal.
I voluntarily reviewed this advanced reader copy and I have not been compensated in any way.

This box set of several of Scarlett Grove is OUTSTANDING !!! I adored all of them !! It was so hard to chose one to review on here so I decided on Wild Bear from the series Rescue Bears . This is Shane and Lily's ( and of course Theo ! ) . Shane's bear is out of control . He has so much to deal with from the past along with his anger issues . Lily is a single mother who will do everything she can to keep her son safe and happy . There is danger twists and love in this story that just grabbed my heartstrings . I really liked the way that Lily was written to be strong enough to do what she thinks is best for her son and will fight like crazy for her happy ever after ! The Mate.com is turning out to be her best best to help her son adjust and to learn what he needs to . I love the way they got matched !! It was such a shock to both of them !! This is well written and recommended to all !!

I was fortunate enough to have gotten advanced copies and bought a few too. I have to say that I enjoyed my visits to Fate Mountain where shifters came together since their enforced military blessed them with savings to use as they chose. Many of these shifters are bears that were sexy, honorable gentle giants who found their forever mates. Many due to mate.com that was developed by one of the rescue bears. Each and every one of these stories that were connected because of Fate Mountain gave me warm fuzzies, a vacation away from life and a better understanding of how love somehow conquers every obstacle in its path.

So in general if you love sexy alpha shifters, the women they love and a bit of a cozy mystery then this set is for you and I highly recommend it. Judge for yourself I think you will be happy to spend a few hours upon Fate Mountain just like I did.

This is a series that is definitely worth the read. Each book is a complete story in itself, and each series flows into the next, building off the first. Scarlett Grove has a wonderful talent that will sweep you away to the fabled Fate Mountain with her tales of mostly bear shifters and their quest to find their mates, and it all starts with one of the founding members' new dating app for male shifters and beautiful, curvy human females, Mate.com. It can almost guarantee a 100% match, and you can be sure they'll be fated mates.
Beautifully written with easy to follow plots, these books are sure to tickle your fancy if you crave big strong shifter men and beautiful and curvy women, and their quests to find their HEA.

Loved having all these stories together

What a great, fun introduction to Scarlet Grove! You get the whole series in one batch! There are a number of typos and words misused, but it didn't take away from the strength of the stories. These are all intertwined around Fate Mountain. There is crossover between each story as familiar characters show up in the new stories. Most of them have a mystery or action problem along with the romance. Each story has a very fast pace, an intense tone, a character oriented storyline with character development and super steamy scenes, as well as vivid characters. The problems are interesting and really move the stories forward. If this sounds like a shifter series You would like, try it and enjoy! These are all quick reads.

I love Fate Mountain. I was new to reading Scarlett Grove when she released the first Fate Mountain story. I was then introduced to a group of caring and special people. I have enjoyed being pulled into their world and witnessing each individual journey to find their fate. They have just the right amount of fun, sass, romance and of course shifter to keep your attention. I liked the length because I was able to read them quickly when I was short on time. I would recommend all the Fate Mountain stories. Gave me many an hour of entertainment.

Awesome books by single author Scarlet Grove

The first series is rescue bears which include Chief bear, wild bear, Big Bear, Brew beer, ski bear, and geek bear. They are part of a rescue crew for the Fate Mountain Lodge which is owned by Chief bear. These characters are part of unique stand-alone stories.

The next series is law enforcement for Fate Mountain including Commander bear, detective bear, deputy bear, tech bear, and cadet bear. The fate Mountain law enforcement is about various bears shifters encountering their fated mates and their Adventures. The Amazing Stories are different from each other while they meet characters from the first series. These characters are their own bear shifters and mates are uniquely fascinating plots of the stories.

Timber bear Rancj is the third series including boss bear, saw bear, mountain bear, and mechanics bear. This series is about four brothers trying to save their Ranch after their father died. Each story is unique and based upon finding their mate with some reference two characters from the rest of the series written by this author. It is not my wish to give away any of the plot but to gender interest in these series and books.

3 Standalone short stories about shifters finding their mates in intriguing ways. The Lions Halloween is about a witch finding herself and a lion shifter. The cowboy bear Christmas surprise is about a cowboy bear shifter helping an accident victim with amnesia and finding his mate. The bad bear billionaire finds his mate through a cleaning agency and solve the mystery of a haunted house.

All these books have interesting characters who's plots from the stories intertwine with one another. This is well worth the money and give great value for the dollar. Highly recommended with 6 Stars if I could review it as.

Was really surprised at all the 5 star reviews. Suspended belief. Yes, I get that it's bear's and shifters but really the misspelled words, wrong usage - one of the bears was repelling down a mountain, usually you rappel down a mountain not repel the mountain. And this was used incorrectly more than once. It's obvious she did no research on criminal matters, they dug up a corpse and had it ID and moved within minutes with all the dna done. Really? Found a murders and convicted in days? Come on, I can read about vampires, shifters, elves, fairy's, far flung planets an aliens but pay attention to the back story you are presenting. Quit and deleted.

Fate Mountain Complete Series (18 Books)

Every book was fantastic. There is mystery, intrigue, antagonists, shifters of different animals, a lot of love, and a community coming together to working together and learning from each other.
It goes over several years within the stories. Loved the computer program that shifters and their mates were able to find each other. You also laugh at some of the characters about the computer program and what they think of it. Enjoy your reading of this special place, Fate Mountain.

Fate Mountain Forever

This compilation of books takes you through the excitment, adventure and romance of the Shifters of Fate Mountain and there is a lot of them. But with the help of the app Mate.com we get to follow the emergency rescue workers, police officers, ranchers and even some bonus characters journeys to meet and win over their perfect mates. Beautiful, sassy and smart curvy human women (even a couple female shifters) bring interest to the stories. Great read, be it to binge all at once, by series, or book by book, this is a terrific shifter world.

A very good read.

There are too many books in this set to review them all. Suffice it to say that none of them was a dud! I particularly liked the last few extra books! I think that the first has been extended into a full novel as I'm sure I've read it before. The last has a very Beauty and the Beast feel about it. It has the obligatory love scenes in the books but at an acceptable level. I loved the cheesiness of some of the scenes! Very much a fairytale series. Loved it!

Awesome Series

Totally enjoyed reading this "Fate Mountain, complete series ". The series spans several years and each book leads into the next book in the series with the characters overlapping. All of the books have a little bit of everything, humor, drama and a HEA. Once I started reading this series I didn't touch another book until completely finished. I read the series in a couple of days, lol! Loved it and look forward to reading more books by this author.

Hot shifters looking for their fated mates

This amazing boxset was well-written and an absolute pleasure to lose myself in for a few hours. Who knew that bears could be so irresistible to human females? I loved getting to know all of the characters, and following each of their journeys to love. Some of them were not always the easiest, but they got there in the end, even if they had to fight for what they believed in. I can't wait to read more from this author.

I absolutely loved each and every one of these books. The shifters are all alpha males and when they find their true mate, they love them as no other. So romantic these shifters are! And I have to say that a lot of the females are quite contrary at first :) But all have wonderful HEA's. I recommend this set highly!!

Great shifter stories

Each book has a different shifter focused on finding their true mate. The stories have the same main clans and each member signs up for a shifter and human dating site that is supposed to find their 100 percent mate
Each one has an issue whether it's the bear or mate to make it a challenge on their happily ever after. I highly recommend box set.

OMGoodness!

I fell in love instantly! The characters are easy to fall in love with. Cuddly teddy bears these males are but can turn fierce for their fated mates. With tragedy at their every turn, love finds a way. Magic happens on Fate Mountain! This is a wine and warm blanket kind of series. Lay back and let it take you on an amazing ride!

Fate Mountain: Complete Series

Really liked this whole series. Each individual story was great and the series covered different Bear shifters and how they found their fated mates. One reason I liked this so much is that it covered so many of the Bear shifters. Even when the series started going into other shifters, it was truly believable. A great read!

I loved this collection of shifter love stories. Hot shifters finding their fated mates with the help of mates.com app. I had a soft spot for the Rescue bears from the start. Bear Patrol takes care of everyone’s safety. The brothers of Timber Bear Ranch learn to pull together to save their ranch. The bonus books were entertaining and hot tales of fated mates.
