About the author
Catherine Lievens
343 books268 followersCatherine is the creator of several series, most of them paranormal, including the Whitedell Pride Series and the Gillham Pack Series. While she graduated in translation, she decided to go the writer’s way because it was more fun to create her own stories and characters.
She’s been living in Italy for more than twenty years, but she’s a daughter of the North—Belgium to be precise—and she misses it so much that she’s already planning to move back.
She loves pizza—probably too much —her pets, and of course, books. She sneaks some reading time in her schedule every time she has five minutes free from writing, demands from her various pets and son, and lastly, housework.

** 3.75 stars **
This anthology was nice. I have not read most of the authors before and I liked how their imagination worked. Couple of stories were quite ingenious. I would have given it a better rating if the last novella didn't end in a major cliffhanger that left me very angry. If it were somewhere in the middle I would have been somewhat okay but to put it last just ruined the experience. Real downer. But the rest of the authors were good.

This was a cute little story. I love shifters so it's great for me. I know with being in an anthology you have to kind of keep it short and sweet, but I wish there was a little more to this story.
Calix and Tad are both nearing their heats. And both are attracted to each other. But Calix knows something Tad doesn't. They're mates. Tad wants Calix so bad. He sees him across campus all the time but is so scared to say anything. Calix gets tired of waiting and gets the ball rolling on his own. With a scorching kiss that sets them both on fire, they jump into a whirlwind courtship. Calix knows who Tad is, a wolf shifter, but Tad has no clue about Calix. He's nervous to tell Tad but when Tad is welcomed by Calix's dad, everything seems to fall into place.
I really liked these two. I just wished there was a little more. They went from not really knowing each other to being mates. Calix just laid a smooch on Tad and that was all that was needed apparently. It makes for some spicy reading but needs a little body. I do love how Tad needed a family and he got one. One that just embraced him with open arms. He learned to accept things very quickly but knew to be cautious. Things were hard for Calix too. He had to go against his father's wishes to find his mate outside of his clan. But he more than made up for it in Tad.
I haven't had the pleasure of reading the rest of the stories in this anthology, but this one is pretty good. I bet the rest will be too.

I've only read one story from this anthology, and that was Red Rut Run by Lynn Michaels. It was a different take on shifters, in that the shifters were red deer, and were the two last remaining. Donner seeks his mate and comes across Rory, who initially is reluctant to give in, and become pregnant. There is more to the story, however, I found it to be too short. The relationship between Donner and Rory felt rushed, and I didn't feel that I knew either character particularly well by the end of the story. This would do better as a longer story, much in the relationship was left unexplored, and the situation the two MCs found themselves in was virtually unexplained. The ending was also rushed, I would've liked to have read about what occurred after the two come together.

These stories were very imaginative and entertaining, not to mention being lots of fun to read. They involved danger, action, and lots of love with shifters, an angel, goblins, and even a cute little mouse who was an adorable character. The authors were very creative and every story was tantalizing and enthralling. I found it to be a very pleasurable read. =)

I've only read 2 stories so far.
March 6
Charlie Richards - Bringing Him Down to Earth
Set in the Wolves of Stone Ridge Universe this story follows Cory Porter's discovery of the paranormal world.
Cory and his 3 friends were introduced in Warming Up To the Ice Dragon where Stefan met his dragon mate. I'd hoped the other 3 would get a story each and this is the first.
It's short but enough to have the meeting, discovery and required bonding.
March 15
Liza Kay - Catching Kirill
This is the second story of the Bears of Hazel Woods, set only a few months after A Bear's Christmas
Vicktor's youngest son, Kirill, is in love with the new alpha of Paws Cove, Andrei, but as he is not an omega they cannot mate.
Andrei hasn't been the alpha for long and when Kirill is threatened he learns his leadership style needs to change.
And with that change comes the happy ending.

I've only read Catching Kirill by Liza Kay, but I wanted to review it.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Kirill got his own story! I was hoping to read it after meeting him in A Bear's Christmas! Even though this is a short story, there was a backstory and this story picked up right after A Bear's Christmas. I hope Juri has his own story in the future!

I love bundle so much! I especially love them when they have different authors. Now I know Lynn Michaels's books and I absolutely love them. So this is no different. I just love the way she writes get stories that make me fall in love with her characters. If there is one thing I would like is that it was a longer story. However I still love it. This is such an amazing bundle and in love getting glimpses into other authors that I am now going to start looking into their stories!
