Oh my gosh! I just returned from my latest visit to the Were Zoo and I have to tell you that it was an exhilarating visit. As always the strong, charming characters that make the adventure park their home made sure I had a wonderful experience. On this visit, I got to spend time with elephant shifter, Kelley London, but I wasn’t alone with him for very long because we were soon joined by panther shifter, Rhapsody Caine and let me tell you this feisty shifter knows how to make an entrance and their mating was sweet and super exciting and hot enough to make a volcano erupt. I could feel the chemistry sizzling between these two from every page and this couple never let me have a dull moment as they kept anticipation building throughout the story and well they had a bit of trouble come calling on them as well which was quite thrilling and had me hanging on to the edge of my seat.

I must tell you, that with every visit I make to the Were Zoo, the more I love it and the more I fall for the wonderful shifters who run it. The world is so very fascinating, and has unique elements that make it the perfect place to find shifters, which really just adds a bit flair and depth to the stories and makes it seem so very possible. This visit was my longest visit and I couldn’t be happier that not only did I get to stay awhile but I got to visit a circus and meet more fascinating shifters! I can’t wait to find out what R.E. Butler has in store for my next visit to the adventure park – I wonder who will find their soulmate next?

Great read if....you enjoyed the other books in the series, PNR, Shifters, Romance, and an HEA.

SIDE NOTE: So, I won't lie. Had mixed feelings when this book began. They were so happy and so lovey dovey that I couldn't figure out what was going to threaten it. Then when the threat came into the picture I was worried it was dealt with too quickly, but R.E. made sure to give me a crazy ride worth screaming at my kindle over. I LOVED this book, this pair, and cannot get enough of this series. Read this book in one sitting and was purring and growling in content by the end, lol. Highly recommend.

Kelley Book 6 of the Were Zoo series
by R. E. Butler
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have really enjoy the Were Zoo series and Kelley Book 6 is a enjoyable and rewarding good time! R.E. Butler has created another charming and sweet story with a core of good-hearted characters in a warm realistic setting. Kelley is an engaging story that's about shifters in a Zoo series and I know most paranormal romance readers will find it unique and enjoyable. The story is focus on Kelley London and Rhapsody Caine, I really enjoy the names R.E give her characters. Kelley is dependable and a elephant shifter, plus he takes care of the non-shifting animals at the Amazing Adventures Safari Park. Rhapsody is a orphan now that her aunt passed away and the last of her panther shifter pride. But before her aunt died she told Rhapsody about the shifter zoo in New Jersey, and made her promise to go and find the shifters and live with them. When Rhapsody takes the tour she immediately breaks all the rules to get to Kelley. Plus I always enjoy when we get check-ins from the previous couples. I enjoy how all the characters are woven together through their relationships and how they give support to the new couple. I enjoy that this book emphasized the aspect of mixed shifters can find their fated mate and every couples will just melt your heart. I actually really enjoyed that the story has drama, enchanting sexy scenes and compelling characters. Kelley and Rhapsody has just enough tension that leads to their steamy hot chemistry. The heat level 🔥🔥🔥🔥 allowing their connection to each other to jumps off the page. I enjoy how good these stories make you feel when you finish one of these stories. I'm so excited I can’t hardly wait to see who's story is next! I really do recommend this paranormal romance Were Zoo series

Kelley London has been taking care of the non-shifting animals at the Amazing Adventures Safari Park since he was a teenager. As an elephant shifter, he has a unique take on what it means to be an animal in the zoo, gawked at by humans, and he does his best to make sure that the animals are happy and well taken care of. He’s not sure that the VIP tours are going to bring his soulmate to him, but he’s hopeful that someday he’ll find the one female meant to be his.

Rhapsody Caine is the last surviving member of her panther shifter pride. Before her aunt passed away, she told Rhapsody about a shifter zoo in New Jersey, and urged her to find other shifters to live with. She’d never been around other types of shifters, and was wary of just waltzing in the front gates and announcing herself to the zoo’s inhabitants, so she signed up for a VIP tour of the safari. What she didn’t expect was to be staring at her soulmate through a chain link fence, or for him to be an elephant.

Rhapsody breaks all the rules and climbs the fence during the tour to be with Kelley, but the big male doesn’t care that she’s impetuous. The only thing he cares about is that she’s the new center of his universe, and because she’s all alone in the world, he wants to become her family. When a panther male shows up at the zoo claiming to be Rhapsody’s arranged mate, Kelley is willing to do anything to keep Rhapsody safe and keep her with him forever.


As always R.E Butler has given us another amazing short story with funny moments and adorable couples.
Each book is unique and adds to the greater picture of the zoo.
A great addition to the series!

So Happy!

Imagine love at first sight! This is what happens when two souls recognize each other. Then imagine climbing a ten foot fence to hug an-elephant?
This is the story of Rhapsody, a female black panther, and Kelley, an elephant who meet at the zoo. Both had thought they'd be alone, until Rhapsody joins the VIP tour on the recommendation of her recently departed Aunt Joy. What happens next is two very different halves joining two families together. Along the way is mystery, an attempted kidnapping and death by...You'll have to read it to find out.

The Were Zoo series is a favorite of mine. The characters are enchanting. The love is real. Humans should act more like animals. The lessons in each book are inherent to a better society and should be taught to our own young.

This story is short, fast paced and a nice read. Kelley is book six in the were zoo series. I liked this book but not as much as some of the previous stories. At times, this story seemed a little drawn out. I really liked Rhapsody. I liked her reaction as soon as she found her mate. The thought of her climbing the fence to get to Kelley is hilarious. The chemistry between Kelley and Rhapsody is clear to see and I liked them as a couple. I liked that Rhapsody was protective of her man.
I was happy for Kelley when he found his mate. His loneliness at the beginning was clear to see and my heart ached a little for him. I really liked Tank. I liked that despite not trusting Rhapsody and her predator half, he eventually warmed up to her.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books in this series.

Want to Join the Circus?

But, 1st we go to the zoo where Kelley who is an elephant shifter finds his mate while she's taking the VIP tour. Rhapsody, a panther shifter & the last of her clan decides to go to NJ & visit a shifter zoo there to see if she could join & find a new home. She never expects to find her mate but she does.

After being at the zoo for a week Kelley & Rhapsody go to visit with his parents who live & work at the circus. Rhapsody has so much fun there; especially after she finds out why she's having so many strange food cravings.

But, there's also another panther clan that's been following them for a fake reason but, you'll have to read the book to find out what that reason is & what happens to Kelley & Rhapsody's mating.

This book was very good.

Romantic and Funny

I've read all of this series so far and this was the funniest by far.
Rhapsody lived with her aunt Joy who told her about the zoo and said she should go see if her mate was among them. Rhapsody dose just that shortly after Joy dies.
Kelly is an Elephant shifter who takes to his paddock with his memory ( group of elephants ) when Rhapsody comes along on the tour.
Things don't go smoothly for the pair though when a Panther shifter male turns up claiming Rhapsody belongs to him by word of her deceased parents.
Can the couple stay together or will trouble win? Find out by buying this book

True Love is Blind

Kelley lives and works in the Were Zoo. He's an elephant shifter who cares for the non shifting animals as part of his duties. He's hoping to meet his true mate through the tours hosted by the zoo. When Rhapsody, a panther shifter, visits the zoo on a whim, she's overwhelmed to recognise Kelley as her soulmate. Their bond is quick and deep and life at the zoo seems perfect. Until Rhapsody's past reaches out to trap her. But Kelly's families, both at the zoo and his parent's circus are willing to fight and protect. The results are a winning situation. Really enjoyed this book.

Rhapsody was the last of her pride so she goes to Amazing Adventures Safari Park to see if they really had shifters there. What she didn't expect to find was her mate, a hulking elephant named Kelley. Kelley was hoping that his memory would be the next to find a mate, he just didn't expect it to be him when this sexy female climbs the fence in the elephant enclosure and runs to him. WOW fate has some interesting ways to bring mates together.

I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book. This is book 6 of the Were Zoo series by the author.

Awesome elephant shifters... who knew? RE Butler of course. Another amazing story of the Were Zoo shifter series. Love this series. Easy to read because the story just flows, the writing is great. What I really love is the fact that besides the two main characters, Kelley (elephant shifter) and Rhapsody a black panther, the rest of the zoo characters are still brought up and you never lose touch with them. Kelley and Rhapsody are true mates, but there is trouble coming for them. Can they fight whats coming? Great book. Love the HEA

Another birthday gift to myself

Second year that a were zoo book was my gift to myself and again it's been a great read. I'm so in love with the zoo i can't wait for the wolves to get in on the action but i just wish the books weren't so far apart. Kelly is one of the four elephants in the memory in the were zoo on a VIP tour he meets his soulmate in spectacular fashion.then a series of events less then to his family, danger, and more

New favorite

I love love Love the were zoo series. I have them all and reread them often. This one is at the top of my favorites list. Had more of a plot than the others. Little more drama. And I loved Rhapsody. Quirky sense of humor. Kelley was a good mate. Was nice to be with the elephant shifters this time. Hope another elephant finds their mate. I love this series and I hope the shifters never stop finding mates and their stories can be written for me to read. Lol.

An elephant shifter looking for a mate!

All of the elephant shifters are unmated and hoping that their future mate will come to the safari park for one of the VIP tours. A female panther shifter looses her family over time and is the last member of her clan. Shortly before her aunt dies she tells her about the safari park full of shifters. You will have to read the book to find out who finds a mate and what all happens with and to them. Great story!

A delicious love story!
I really enjoy these stories. They’re quick reads with the instant mate recognition for which shifters are known. But, there always seems to be someone to throw a wrench in the works. Some panthers can be very troublesome. Kelley and Rhapsody’s story is packed with adventure (the circus is in town), danger, and a ton of love! Sit back, put your feet up, relax, and enjoy!

Kelley & Rhapsody

This is the latest book in the Were Zoo Series. The Zoo is still running the VIP tours in the hopes of finding mates for the shifters who call the Zoo their home, and when Rhapsody arrives her reaction was something they never expected or anticipated. A quick read and fun to read. I enjoy this series a lot and look forward to the next book.

Finally, the elephants are getting a story! Rhapsody and Kelley are a wonderful couple. Once they meet they embracing their relationship as soulmates. Kelley’s family, both at the zoo and the circus are so welcoming and protective. The bad guys are dealt with and all comes to a wonderful conclusion.
