Ten Cat's Paranormal Society by C.M. Stunich, 5 Star
Alexiah works as an assistant for a ghost hunter. Ten Cat's promises to cleanse your house of spirits and demons using their team, their Founder Dutch, demonologist Rhythm, their medium Tate, techie Luke, and their cats, featuring the six-toed Syxx and Tom Thumb. The truth is they are nothing more than con artists. Sure, most times they solve the homeowner's problem, but it's not by removing ghosts but fixing pipes or removing rodents. This doesn't sit well with Alexiah. She hates to lie and she can't stand Rhythm but she needs the money and it provides her a place to live. Plus, she's got a mad crush on Dutch. He lies as much as he tells the truth but her heart doesn't seem to care. This business and the people she works with is as close to home and family as she's got. But this week they are in over their heads/ First, they are attacked by druggies while on a case. Then later in the week, they end up in a truly haunted house with a vengeful demon. One who wants to punish the imposters and wants Alexiah as his bride.
This story is unbelievable! So good. You can't help but love Alexiah. Awkward, blurting out random facts, swooning over her boss, and sparring with Rhythm. I wish I knew what was up with the guys. I hate when the girl's feelings get trampled when you know that the guys are interested. I still fell for Rhythm myself but Dutch is a little too smarmy for me. I am intrigued with green eyes and want to know his relation to blue. I was enthralled with this story from the first con and can't wait for more!
Feral Magic by Tate James, 5 Star
Margaret "Cleo" Carrol has had a terrible day. She lost her job, her rental, her cat died, and now her beloved camper is broken down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere as she drives cross-country to Texas to rescue some kittens. The tow company can't get to her camper until the next day, so Cleo accepts a ride with a hunky Australian to the next town and gets a hotel room. Hoping to make her evening better than her day, Cleo meets her rescuer, Hunter at a local bar. Too many beers, whiskey, and tequila later Cleo makes a deal to take Hunter and his two gorgeous best friends, Adriel and Boden with her to Texas. What Cleo doesn't believe or understand is that it's a magical deal and if she backs out, she will become an actual rodent. Cleo's day just got much worse. She has no idea who she truly is, her purpose in this world, who the men are to her, and that she has enemies who want what is hers and are willing to kill her to get it.
Fantastic! This is such a fun paranormal story with a great backstory. Hunter is beyond yummy, Boden even more so, and Adriel is frustratingly out of reach at the moment. I can't wait to see him on his knees! This story was non-stop action with incredible sexual tension. I want more!
Meow, Baby by Rebecca Royce and Ripley Proserpina, 4-star
Set in the Wands and Wards World, Michaella Lansing is a low-level witch who works as a healer at Prestige Hospital. Her greatest joys in life are helping others with her magic and flying over the ocean waves. Her greatest trials come in the form of her next-door neighbors, Zach, David, and Bradley Addington, powerful, rich, spoiled, mean witches who seem to enjoy tormenting her as much as they enjoy throwing wild parties. Arriving home after a long shift, Michaella once again faces a trashed lawn and their cruel words. Needing a break, she heads to the ocean before she cleans up the mess. Refreshed she gets back home to find three large beautiful cats at her front steps. Unable to resist taking in the strays, Michaella opens her home, her heart, and her life to the three. In return, these three cats set Michaella on a path to a new, wonderful life.
This is an adorably sweet story about what's truly important in life. Hint: it's not riches or powerful magic. Michaella is lovely, too hard on herself, but in this world, low-level witches are generally unappreciated. The Addingtons are awful. I would have liked to see more work put into their characters' redemption but since this is a novella, I understand. The ending more than made up for their earlier character flaws. It was also nice to see Lawson again!
Wildest Dreams by Lucy Smoke, 4 stars
Jen has worked for a tabloid for years but now she has her big chance as a wildlife photographer on a job in South Africa. She will be photographing a wildlife vet and his two assistants as well as the country, people, and animals. This is what she's always dreamed of doing. However, when she gets to the camp, it turns out that the vet, Preston is the man she fell in love with 6 years ago, the man she gave her virginity to, the man who disappeared without a word on her the next morning and broke her heart. Jen wants to leave but she can't give up her dream and she can't allow Preston to hurt her any more than he already has. She would also like to get to know his two assistants better. Much better. Jay and Wren are as exciting to Jen as the raw beauty of South Africa. If only she could forget her feelings for Preston.
This is an entertaining read with an important message about poaching. Jen has incredible chemistry with Jay and Wren. I had a difficult time with Preston. There were inconsistencies with what had actually happened and the excuse wasn't good enough anyway. It's hard to imagine pining after a guy for 6 years and forgiving him within days. Still, I loved the setting and the message. I think this would have benefitted as a longer story. It has great potential.

This Review pertains to Meow Baby by Rebecca Royce and Ripley Proserpina.
Meow Baby is a Reverse Harem style Magical Romance. I enjoyed meeting the engaging characters from this novel. Charismatic as well as Spoilt Rich Boys, the Addington Brothers are far beyond anything Michaella Lansing wants to deal with on an everyday occurrence. But it is the Season she dreads most, Summer.
The Season she has no other choice but survive the Addington Terrors!
Fortunately, or is it Unfortunately not everything is as it appears. And after the appearance of three rather large Felines, life as she knew it has become suddenly more horrific than even Michaella could imagine!
I truly enjoyed delving into this Magical world, meeting these fantastic characters and being reeled into their lives with the swish of a page. The actions between the characters are fun as well as endearing at times. The emotions that Michaella goes through is enough to keep you on edge. An absolutely wonderful read!

I loved all these stories! I only had one problem & that was I need more!!! I can’t wait for the rest of their stories come out! It was such a great taster to get you hooked and ready for the novel/series that is sure to follow!!
December 25, 2018
This is an absolutely fabulous collection of stories, I usually find with anthology’s that there are some I love better than other but I can honestly say each story had me hooked and totally in love, I very highly recommend this read

I was lucky enough to get a copy of Their Tygress by Joley Sue Burkhart and I loved it !. This book was fast paced and the storyline was so unique. I love the idea of appearing in a different world and that's how this book starts so I found the storyline really interesting. I would recommend this book if you like RH, shifters and romance. I love how this author writes it makes you feel like your experiencing what she's writing and I hope their will be a second book to this one.
December 5, 2018
Omg. So hot. Cant wait to read them all. Joely Sue Burkhart's Their Tygress is hot. Loved it thank you!
December 31, 2018
Stories run between 2-3 stars, but let's face it, I bought it for the sake of helping kitties and puppies, not because I had high expectations about the content! So 3 stars, but 5 hearts. ;)
December 18, 2018
So hit & miss. Some of the stories I loved, others I couldn't finish or didn't start.
December 16, 2018
Just didn’t care for the short stories or novellas

Best anthology I have read ever!
I have only read 5 stories so far but I was sucked into each and every one of them! I am seriously thinking of getting like no sleep so I can continue reading haha. I will update this after I have read a couple more stories, but I know I wont be disappointed and really hope these stories are expanded on (I know Saving Merritt is a standlone) and we wont have to wait too much longer for the 2nd book in some of these series ❤️ Definitely pick this up!! Not only are the stories fantastic and animal centric, but all proceeds go to an amazing cause. Thank you ladies for putting this together 😊
Saving Merritt - I absolutely was drawn into this story from the very beginning! Loved Merrit, the story (which was exciting and longer than I would have thought for an anthology) and the guys...SWOON! I loved them all and added them to my book boyfriend list. Fantastic job Coralee and Stacy😍😍😍. This is one of the stories I really really wish wasn't a standalone. I had all the feels but loved how warm and fuzzy it left me. After a tough work week, it was definitely a pick me up I needed. And I think Remy stole the whole show hehe.
Feral Magic - Tate never disappoints and this story is no exception! I loved the concept and need to know more now!! I loved Boden, Hunter, and Adriel (his story was so touching!) and can't want to see how things go in Book 2 for Cleo. I love Egyptian mythology and this was a pleasant surprise! Loved the snark in this book and even if I didn't know it was Tate's story, I would have been able to guess it was hers. I love seeing Tate's growth since I found her last year. She really has a distinctive voice (and somehow her characters end up with no panties a lot hahaha).
Their Tygress - I just started listening to Joely's vampire series on audio and I thought I would give her story a try because I loved the concept. Holy moly, I need more like yesterday!! Fantastic job, Joely, you have gotten a huge new fan 😊. I need to know what happens with Kimber and her 3 princes and I cant wait to see more POV in her shifter form. Duuuude the princes are so drool worthy, its not even funny. Cannot wait for more!!
Possessed - CM does it again! I love this story and cant wait for more, especially after that major cliffhanger! I loved how different the guys were (is there a sort of agreement not to make a move on X?), loved how BA Tate was, and was super intrigued by Syxx haha. I will say that one thing that irked me was the number of times the fires were brought up in a short amount of time (how 2 characters both dealt with it and should be closer/connect because of the similar circumstances). I think that is the only critique I had with the story, but it didn't deter me at all from getting sucked into the story. Loved it ❤️
How to Date a Werewolf...or 3 - this was my first read of Knox and Miers and I sadly say I was not a fan. I liked the concept and was super excited to read it. The story started out great, but once the guys were introduced it really fell short for me regarding the character relationships and the build-up. I felt like Devon kinda came out of left field and all of a sudden was gonna jump her. He had a couple pages and no real time with her and all of a sudden there was chemistry. I liked Cash and Adam but I didn't get the connection with the MC like I did in the other stories. I mean, I can understand Cash not acting like he was feeling, but the MC didn't call him out on it or even think it when it happened. I would be shocked if that happened to me, and would have some inner monologue about how confusing he was being. Also, some scenes were confusing with who was talking, so much so I had to reread 2-3 chapters toward the beginning a couple times to understand what was going on. I would give this story 3 stars because of that. I would love to see this story redone and fleshed out because I liked the concept and the way the story ended. Maybe the word limit was a factor, not sure.

Loving this anthology. Plus the proceeds go to charity to help rescue animals—
Saving Merritt by Coralee June & Stacy Jones (5 stars)
After many years Merritt returns to her childhood home after her fathers death. Krew, Denver, and Tatum were her childhood friends/crushes and they have grown up to be some sizzling hot guys. There is a bit of action/mystery, but I loved seeing their reunion and relationships form. This seems to be a complete story, but I wouldn’t mind seeing more Krew, Denver, and Tatum :)
Ten Cats Paranormal Society: Possessed by CM Stunich (4 stars)
Alexiah is still in high school, but after losing her mother, she was taken in/lives with Dutch, Rhythm, Luke, and Tate. They are the 10 Cats Paranormal Society and they are ghost hunters - self admitted cons who swindle those who think they are haunted. But their newest client turns out to be more than they bargained for... This is just a prequel story, but I am really intrigued and hope the next book is out soon.
How to Date a Werewolf...or Three by Knox & Miers (3 stars)
Interesting premise. I liked Frankie and her friends. However, the relationships and some aspects of the plot took leaps that seemed unnatural.
Feral Magic by Tate James (4 stars)
Prequel story. Cleo is on her way to rescue some kittens after having a craptastic day. She meets Adriel, Biden, and Hunter and things get even crazier. Luckily she has the hot guys to help her :) The story ends with some suspense and I really want to see what happens next :)
Meow Baby by Rebecca Royce & Ripley Proserpina (4 stars)
Michaella is a healer who lives next to the three Addington brothers, who are terrible neighbors, always wrecking her property. One day she finds three cats and her life becomes even more chaotic. Michaella is pretty quiet, but does have an inner strength to have put up with the guys rudeness over the years. I did feel that this story wrapped up a little too quickly, and would have liked to have the guys grovel a bit more, but overall this was a quick, cute read.
Their Tygress by Joely Burkhart - Did not read yet
Missing Wolf by G. Bailey (4 stars)
This is a prequel novella. Anastasia (Ana) is just starting college when she is turned into a familiar. In this world that Bailey has created, familiars are people who have a magical bond with an animal. However, there are few familiars and humans fear them, so when someone becomes a familiar they are taken to the Familiar Empire and have to stay there. I really like Ana - she is resilient and and sweet. Liam, Mason, and Alex are intriguing, and I really want to know more about what is going on with them and the guy in the cape. I’m looking forward to seeing where this series goes :)
Bethie’s Haven by Cecilia Randall - Haven’t read yet
Shield in the Storm by Kim Faulks (4 stars)
I would call this a companion novella to Spark, and some of the timeframe/elements overlap. This story is set in the One of Us world, and Shield is already connected with her guys - Renegade, Cassian, and Lorcan. She is a protector and is prepared to stand up for all of them that were experimented on. I really like Shield and her guys. She is fierce!
Wildest Dreams by Lucy Smoke - Haven’t read yet.
A Day in the Life of Bandit by Kel Carpenter - Haven’t read

How to Date a Werewolf...or Three by Knox & Miers (3 stars)
Interesting premise. I liked Frankie and her friends. However, the relationships and some aspects of the plot took leaps that seemed unnatural.
Feral Magic by Tate James (4 stars)
Prequel story. Cleo is on her way to rescue some kittens after having a craptastic day. She meets Adriel, Biden, and Hunter and things get even crazier. Luckily she has the hot guys to help her :) The story ends with some suspense and I really want to see what happens next :)
Meow Baby by Rebecca Royce & Ripley Proserpina (4 stars)
Michaella is a healer who lives next to the three Addington brothers, who are terrible neighbors, always wrecking her property. One day she finds three cats and her life becomes even more chaotic. Michaella is pretty quiet, but does have an inner strength to have put up with the guys rudeness over the years. I did feel that this story wrapped up a little too quickly, and would have liked to have the guys grovel a bit more, but overall this was a quick, cute read.
Their Tygress by Joely Burkhart - Did not read yet
Missing Wolf by G. Bailey (4 stars)
This is a prequel novella. Anastasia (Ana) is just starting college when she is turned into a familiar. In this world that Bailey has created, familiars are people who have a magical bond with an animal. However, there are few familiars and humans fear them, so when someone becomes a familiar they are taken to the Familiar Empire and have to stay there. I really like Ana - she is resilient and and sweet. Liam, Mason, and Alex are intriguing, and I really want to know more about what is going on with them and the guy in the cape. I’m looking forward to seeing where this series goes :)
Bethie’s Haven by Cecilia Randall - Haven’t read yet
Shield in the Storm by Kim Faulks (4 stars)
I would call this a companion novella to Spark, and some of the timeframe/elements overlap. This story is set in the One of Us world, and Shield is already connected with her guys - Renegade, Cassian, and Lorcan. She is a protector and is prepared to stand up for all of them that were experimented on. I really like Shield and her guys. She is fierce!

I know 100% of proceeds are being donated but I feel that some authors missed an opportunity to gain new readers.
1)"Saving Merrit" by Coralee June and Stacy Jones - 3 Stars
Needs editing! Did not like the story.
2)"Ten Cats Paranormal Society: Possessed" by C.M. Stunich - 2 Stars
Needs editing! Major cliffhanger. No evidence of a reverse harem.
3)"How to Date a Werewolf... or 3" by Graceley Knox and D.D. Miers - 1 Star
Needs editing! Could not tell at times who was talking. Also could not tell at times if they were internal thoughts or speaking out loud. The story felt rushed, no character development. I felt no connection to the characters.
4)"Feral Magic Part One" by Tate James - 3 Stars
Cliffhanger- Did not like how it ended. Did not hate or love the story.
5)"Meow, Baby" by Rebecca Royce and Ripley Proserpina - 4 Stars
6)"Their Tygress" by Joely-Sue Burkhart - 4 Stars
Didn't notice any grammatical errors. Enjoyed the story, want to read more!
7)"The Missing Wolf Part One" by G. Bailey - 4 Stars
Needs editing - has nothing to do with using British English!
8)"Bethie's Haven" by Cecilia Randall - 4 Stars
9)"Shield in the Storm" by Kim Faulks - 1 Star
Not first book in the series. Chaos is the word I would use to describe the story. At times I had no idea what was going on.
10)"Wildest Dreams" by Lucy Smoke - 1 Star
Author failed to keep track of details in the story.
"He looked hurt, but I didn’t care—he was the one who had left me. There had been no note, no anything. I had texted. I had called. He never called back. He didn’t even care to let me know when he moved halfway across the country for his graduate program. Preston didn’t get to be hurt now. He was the problem, and I deserved answers."
Later, towards the end - “Not with your words,” I said, “but you sure as fuck didn’t tell me that you’d be leaving the next day and you sure as fuck didn’t tell me that you never wanted to talk to me again.” “Did you try calling me?” he snapped. I stopped and stuttered, shocked by the question. “I—I…” Had I? It had been so long, I couldn’t remember. “I didn’t change my cell number,” he stated. “I had to go for orientation. I’d been accepted. It was an obligation. I thought you’d call. I left you a note.”

Petting Them: An Anthology of Claw-ver Tails Kindle Edition
by Tate James (Author), C.M. Stunich (Author), & 8 more
I received an eARC of Meow, Baby by Rebecca Royce and Ripley Proserpina, This was the only advanced piece I am reviewing at this time+
A delightful addition to the Wands and Wards series, Meow, Baby is a sexy combo of a comedy of manners and a enemies to lovers RH!
Our heroine, Michaella Lansing, is dear, sweet witch whose powers seem to be limited to healing and flights over the ocean. She has the misfortune to live next door to 30ish brother witches, Zach, Bradley and David. Overgrown frat bros who spend every summer making her life hell by decimating her lawn and other childish pranks. One night, she had her fill and decided to worry about the mess later. Soon, she found herself adopted by three sweet cats. And then things started to get interesting.
Ms. Royce and Ms. Proserpina are a wonderful writing unit. Their previous (or maybe simultaneous – who knows, they are both such prolific writers) Lightning Strikes was amazing. It was best described as what a RH romance would look like it Dean Koontz put it to paper.
Their heroines are well fleshed out and in this case, well over the seemingly median age of RH heroines – 21. She knows who she is or thinks she is. She spends a great deal of her inner monologue time trying to buck herself up from depression. The rest of the time, she is trying to piece together what her feline boarders are thinking. Both are delightful.
The brilliant writers have created a comedy errors that reminds me of Austen, if she lived in the 21t century and wrote RH! I was giggling through the book as I followed the perfectly laid clues to the mystery of who the cats were and who made them that way.
Fun, steamy and tightly written, I really couldn't put it down. Thanks, ladies! Another sleepless night due to your brilliance!

I honestly could not get enough of any of these tales! They all need to be continued, stat. I'll even start the work and we can do a "Petting Them Part 2". Please? These tales were all just so wonderful, and the reason behind the anthology just makes it that much more special.
These tales include:
- Saving Merritt by CoraLee June & Stacy Jones (heartwarming tale of Merritt coming home and learning more about her family and friends - plus the retired K9 dog is adorable!)
- The Cats Paranormal Society: Possessed by CM Stunich (a tale of cats, spirits, and demon kings)
- How to Date a Werewolf... or 3 by Knox & Miers (werewolves, fighting for dominance, and witchcraft - what more could you want?)
- Feral Magic by Tate James (a descendant of an Egyptian goddess destined for greatness, with some feline-shifters)
- Meow Baby by Rebecca Royce & Rispley Proserpina (magic, cats, and kindness in unexpected places)
- Their Tygress by Joely-Sue Burkhart (being sucked into a Tyger world may not be what Kimber asked for, but maybe it's just what she needed)
- The Missing Wolf by G. Bailey (being forced to leave your family behind can be hard, but maybe becoming a Familiar won't be too bad after all...)
- Bethie's Haven by Cecilia Randall (starting over can be tough, but starting over and creating an animal shelter is even harder - thank goodness for those Peterson brothers! Plus there is the added help of watchful spirits)
- Shield in the Storm by Kim Faulks (being able to protect yourself can be the hardest thing, but it's the love we find in animals and the spirit they show that help us continue to fight for what's right)
- Wildest Dreams by Lucy Smoke (fate brings Jenique back to the man she always loved, and a couple of fine friends too, as they try to stop some poachers from getting their filthy paws on Leo the Lion)
- A Day in the Life of Bandit by Ken Carpenter (a fast paced, short story, that really starts to pave the way for Ruby, Rysten and Bandit).

I thoroughly enjoyed the stories I was able to read and this charity anthology centers on something that I love. When choosing a new pet for our house we always go to a shelter or rehome or raise a feral kitten. So knowing the proceeds will help these types of animals makes me smile I just wish I could contribute as well but I'm barely able to feed and care for my own two furballs.
I read Saving Merritt by two new authors to me and loved how the story conveyed grief, anger, passion drama. romance and hope. Merritt has three different nicknames by the guys she loves and is unable to choose between them but will they accept the unusual arrangement. Will she sell her father's house, keep Remy the retired K-9 cop, discover the mystery of her Dad's death and choose to stay with her boys? You have to grab this anthology and find out for yourself. you will be glad you did.
Another great read is by Kim Faulks the title of which I cannot remember but it is from her One of Us series. This one featuring Gabriel aka Shield. Lorcan, Cassian and Renegade. Each of them are tattooed with numbers, each was experimented on and have ugly memories, can they get past them and help the Senator expose this hidden world that the President has a hand in. I have read the others in this series and find them to be full of angst and well conveyed emotions I highly recommend her stories to all who are into the paranormal world.
These two stories represent the in depth heartfelt stories within and I encourage you to grab this one. I will of course update this review when I am able to read more of them.
I voluntarily chose to read an advance copy and am so glad I was selected to do so, No I wasn't compensated in any way for this honest opinion. All I can say is judge it for yourself maybe you will feel the same way.

I read all the stories in this book and I enjoyed every single one! There are some of my favourite authors in this combination of short stories and it is great just to read them one by one as you get a chance!! I throughly enjoyed all the stories but will just individually some of my favourites. Everyone should purchase this book...not only is it for a good cause it is also full of action and hot and steamy goodness!!
Saving Merritt - Coralee June and Stacey Jones
This story has so much depth for something this is only 20 chapters long! There is great character development and the book is packed full of emotion, love, danger, pain and action! I would love to see more of these characters in the future!!
How to date a werewolf...or three - Knox and Miers
I love these two authors together! This book is very different and as soon as I started reading I was fully invested! Frankie is a unique character and she is paired up with the three wolfs she gets even better! I have to admit my favourite was Cash..but all three are great! There is a lot of action, romance and drama in these 21 chapters!!
Feral Magic - Tate James

Feel Good for a Good Cause
Petting Them-
All of the proceeds of this anthology go to help out animals, so even if you don't like the content, you should still get this book. BUUUUT I can't imagine anyone not liking the content. As with most anthologies I review, even though I read and enjoyed all of the stories, I only wrote reviews for a small number of them to give new readers a snapshot.
Saving Merritt- This one was a contemporary RH, read standalone. In keeping with the animal theme of the book, the hero of the whole story was Remy, a retired police dog. Kidding. Although he did save the day. The secrets and emotions wrapped in this story were captivating. I couldn't put it down!
Feral Magic- In true Tate James fashion, this story had me laughing so hard. The "almost" scenes were hot enough to have me not getting too upset that there wasn't any sex. I'm sincerely looking forward to how the plot unfolds, how the characters develop, and (of course) the sexy scenes that she writes so well. A woman from Oregon travels to Texas for some kittens... Now where have I heard that before?
Their Tygress- This was a definite feel-good story. A lonely and struggling woman is transported to an alien planet to be with 3 hot men ensuring she is no longer lonely? Yes, please. The trope is well-loved and Joely Sue Burkhart does an awesome job of hitting realistic emotions and making this good for the heart.

A short erotic smart and sexy reverse harem romance. Joely Sue Burkhart's "Their Tygress" is a fabulous story. Kimber Leigh is from Earth and finds herself surrounded by three very large and beautiful Tygers. She is told she is the Prime lost princess of one of the four tribes that was wiped out. The world she now was on is Dhalmaria. She thinks she is dreaming. Each tyger turns into a man and are the three Prime princes of the other three tribes. Dharius, Kazhar and Marak introduce themselves and begin to tell her the history of their world. Her coming was foretold and the aliens on their planet has sought to kill any living Prime on the planet. Kimber whose real name is Kimberly Amurkin received a message from her mother that explained who she was. The Last Tygress of Dhalmaria. She is needed to put the world to rights and have the Primes rule again in a benevolent way. They would have to fight and defeat the enemy the Sitti or she could go back to earth. It was her choice no one would gainsay her. So exciting. I hope there is more to come about Kimberly and her three prime guardians. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This review is about the story MEOW BABY by Rebecca Royce and Ripley Proserpina.....I absolutely LOVED this story. Michaella is a kind hearted healer witch with low level of power. Her day began on a bad note when her three gorgeous but rude neighbors left another huge mess thanks to their impromptu party the night before. Yet again she'd needed to clean it all up herself with zero help from the jerks. If only she had stronger powers to assist her. Surely her day couldn't get any worse....but it definitely got interesting. Out of nowhere three massive cats appeared....how could she turn them away? Especially since they seem to understand her somehow. Maybe it was all in her mind, but it surely seemed like they knew what she said and actually listened to her. It didn't take long to figure out exactly why this was the case. A fun tale of magic, surprises, love and suspense. I highly recommend this story within the anthology. I'm a massive fan of these two authors!
December 17, 2018
This book is packed with amazing love stories from some of the best authors. Some of my personal favorites were the following: Meow Baby by Rebecca Royce. In this book you fall in love with the MC and kind of want to punch the guys at first. Then as the story unfolds you start to understand things aren’t always what they seem. It ends in a really great HEA, in true RR fashion. Another favorite was Saving Merritt by CoraLee Jones and Stacy Jones. This one will give you all the feels along with some steamy times and a great HEA. Another favorite that stood out was The Missing Wolf by G. Bailey. This story has a fresh story line with lots of mystery and three hot guys who we hope will end up with the MC at the end. Sadly this one is just s taste of the book but the completed book should be out in 2019 and I can’t wait! I could go on and on because really there were no bad stories here. I recommend you pick this book up, you won’t regret it.
December 18, 2018
I highly recommend the set. There wasn't one story in it that I did not really enjoy. It really is an excellent collection of stories and your purchases benefits charity too. It is fabulous if you enjoy reverse harems. Many of the stories continue in other series so you will be tempted to read more.
Meow Baby by Rebecca Royce and Ripley Proserpina is a great story that features a woman that has very little self esteem. She is a witch with what she thinks are limited powers and make her inferior to others. Her neighbors don't help. When three cats enter her life, everything changes. It is a story with a lot of heart and I really liked Michaella.
Shield in the Storm is part of the One of Us Series and is by Kim Faulks. It is another great story that left me wanting to read more about the characters. The author created developed characters and a great storyline that kept me wondering what was next.

Meow Baby by Rebecca Royce and Ripley Proserpina is a great story that features a woman that has very little self esteem. She is a witch with what she thinks are limited powers and make her inferior to others. Her neighbors don't help. When three cats enter her life, everything changes. It is a story with a lot of heart and I really liked Michaella.

Great Stories for a Great Cause!!
Shield in the Storm – Kim Faulks – 5 stars!!
Gabriela is the Shield. Each person around her who has a number on their wrist has a special “power”. There are those who created them, and those who are looking to kill them. A glimpse into the One of Us series I recommend you investigate further. In this segment Gabriela runs from her pursuers and finds herself at an abandoned animal shelter. The caretaker has abandoned it – but some animals remain. She wins them over and they help each other until her friends can rejoin her.
I look forward to reading the other stories in this collection; reverse harem is the theme. Generously these authors are donating proceeds to Pacific North Pets

This review pertains solely to Their Tygress by Joely Sue Burkhart. I received a free, advanced copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.
This story was short, sweet, and sexy! Joely always manages to impress me with her anthology contributions/novellas. She packs more world-building and heart into these short stories than many authors manage to do in one book (or a whole series!).
Kimber was instantly relatable, and all of the Tygers were to die for (although my favorite starts with a K, 'cause I'm a lover of grumps).
I really hope this story generates enough buzz to entice JSB into writing
more in this world! Fans of her other RH will not be disappointed by this kitten-sized "tail."

I loved it! This anthology is highly entertaining and hysterical. It's also for a really fabulous cause. I adore these authors and their ability to spin such phenomenal stories and the imagination and creativity that goes into them knows no bounds. This whole book is like one giant tease, I can not wait to see what else they come up with.
CM Stunich left me clutching my metaphorical pearls, I need more of that book and those characters asap.
Tate James left me clutching my stomach in laughter because I could so clearly envision what was happening in those pages that it just had me cracking up. Give me more please!
You won't be disappointed with any of these shorts but you will be frothing at the mouth for more by the time you finish.

I only read one book so far but the line up is awesome can't wait to read them all
Meow, baby by Rebecca royce and Rirley Proserpina
Michaella is a witch that works at a hospital for old witches . She is a healer and has little power. Her one joy in life is to be by the ocean. Flying over it or swimming in it. Her neighbors are her nightmares. The Addington brothers. Zach, Bradley, and David. Oh and thier witches to far more powerful then she is.
Then one night 3 cats show up on her door and everything change for her.
This was a fun read , it had drama, action, betrayal, mystery, spice, twists and turns plus so much more. The characters are great and pull you in the story fast. I didn't want the end don't miss it.
Voluntarily reviewed a copy and I honestly loved it.
