MMF Shifter Menage Romance.

Jeremy: "I never wanted to lust after Natalia. She was ten years my junior and a mere child when my tiger shifer recognised his mate. So I ran away from the small town where I grew up, and haven't looked back since. But when Dad calls to ask me for help in finding the now grown-up Natalia, I must go home and face the demons I've been running from for too long."

Natalia: "When Jeremy and Tommy save me from the bird shifters, I can't believe my eyes. He's finally home! The shifter I've waited my whole life for... but will he accept me now? And is it too late anyway? Because the truth of the matter is... I love Tommy..."

Tommy: "As a wolf shifter, I know I'm not Natalia's pre-destined mate. But I love her more than anything in the world... or so I think. Until Jeremy returns home and I can't stop thinking about how gorgeous he is.... and how my body aches when he is near. Will he accept me too... Or will I need to fight for the girl I've loved since we were kids."

Join Jeremy, Natalia and Tommy in this fast paced, action packed paranormal romance with a guaranteed happily ever after.

Note from the author: This is a re-release of the same novella from 2013. It has been re-edited and lengthened considerably, but is essentially the same story.

This was book 1 in the "Shifters of the Land, Sea and Air" series. Jeremy a full blooded tiger shifter left his pack when he was 20 years old because he recognized his mate Natalia who was 10 years old. When he gets the call 10 years later that she has been kidnapped he drops everything and heads home. Turns out she was kidnapped by some bird shifters. Natalia has a boyfriend Tommy who is a wolf shifter and Jeremy jumps to conclusions about him. They work together to find and rescue her. I really liked this book both Natalia and Tommy are virgins they waited on Jeremy to return. The sex scenes in this book were hot. This was my first time reading this author. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Not much to the story

I guess I will start by saying I didn't care for the writing style. The book itself I found to be boring unfortunately.

This is a short story that is not too complex, but contains some powerful and sexy main characters. These three folks are distinctive and considerably more multifaceted than the supporting cast, which creates a bit of an unbalance. The narrative has some power since shifters and their complexities along with the knottiness of their culture provide the background for the main three personalities. Additionally, the story revolves around two male shifters, one female, and their bonding which certainly intrigued me.

Jeremy is a forceful and potential Alpha who returns to his pack to assist when a serious crisis occurs. As a tiger shifter he is part of the Shifters of the Land. His absence and requested return proves to be a volatile yet coalescing element that unites his people. He is a mega sexy guy, and is drawn to both Natalia and Tommy, making him really hard to ignore.

Natalia is the only remaining tiger shifter of breeding age that is known by Jeremy’s pack. That is seriously important but is not a main factor throughout the book. How she feels and views Jeremy and in turn what feelings he may still harbor about her are much more relevant.

Tommy is Natalia’s current and active love interest. He is the also the wild card in the story that churns up most of the hidden and passionate energy. His impact on Jeremy and Natalia was quite fascinating. He is a shifter of the land, too, but as a wolf.

I am relatively new to shifter stories and their dynamics. This was a good read for me.

The Shifters of the Land, Sea and Air Trilogy
Book one: Fighting Destiny
The author of this book set a fast pace from the start.
Our main character, Jeremy, an alpha tiger shifter, has developed quite a life for himself away from the pack. Jeremy is destined to mate with a young pureblood female tiger, Natalia, so they can lead the pack as the true Alpha Couple.
Natalia has waited ten years for Jeremy (her destined mate) to return home to the pack after his sudden departure upon first sighting her at age ten. Feeling unable to contain his feelings until she came of age, Jeremy fled his home and restarted his life in the city, away from his pack. Natalia is now twenty years old and a strikingly beautiful young woman, she has formed a relationship with twenty-year old wolf shifter, Tommy. The two are young and in love, but their relationship has not developed on a physical level and is quite chaste. Natalia wanted to wait until Jeremy returned, in the hope of having both him and Tommy as her bonded mates.
Jeremy returns home to the pack after a late-night call from his father to let him know that Natalia has been kidnapped. The instant physical attraction between the alpha tiger shifter and the beta wolf shifter male is intense. Jeremy and Tommy both try to deny their attraction to each other as continue in their search for Natalia.
Once Jeremy and Tommy rescue Natalia, it becomes apparent that there’s a physical attraction between all three and the pages really start to heat up. You can practically smell the carnal lust waft off the pages when these three shed their inhibitions and their clothes and let their animal instincts take control. Phew!
It’s a quick read and the author has kept the narrative simple, so the plot runs smoothly.
I liked it. Three stars.
I received this book as an ARC, and this is my honest review.

(Review with spoilers)


MMF shifter menage romance. I loved it.



I loved Jeremy. He has always known that Natalia is his mate, bothbeing tiger shifters. But it disgusts him to be attracted to a girl, it is not normal. I think he believes his tiger will force him to do something he doesn't want to do, and he's not wrong. He has a lot of power. He's a good man who leaves because he doesn't want to hurt her, and who comes back when he knows she's in danger. When he sees her, he notices again that she is his mate. And he also notices it with Tommy.

I loved Natalia and Tommy. They are in love. But they wait for Jeremy. It's what Natalia wants. Hebis her mate, and she knows they did the right thing when she sees him again. Tommy only waited for her, because he loves her. And he's glad they did. Jeremy is also his mate. The three of them are united. And according to their laws, they can be together.

I loved that the ceremony included the three of them, that all three are an equal part of the relationship.

I also loved that they accept their future children as theirs. The three of them will be their parents.

I loved the worldbuilding.

I recommend it.

Destined to Read a Fantastic Story...
Fighting Destiny Book 1 in the Shifters of the Land, Sea and Air By author, Tamsin Baker was a solid book one to start a series and has piqued my interest enough to look forward to book two. It's clear the author knows her genre and writes a storyline that benefits from her expertise. I have only read a couple of shifter books and one MMF book so I was pretty much in the dark but kept an open mind.
The main characters, Jeremy the alpha, Natalia the mate, and Tommy the pup were well written and believable as a unit in their roles. I really got a visual sense of who everyone was including the elders and I look forward to the next book.
RECOMMENDATION: I liked this story and was not put off by the genre or the LBGT romance. Compared to some erotica I read that go on page after page after page, I thought the scenes in this story were well thought out, hot, and to the point. Therefore definitely recommending this book for your reading pleasure and enjoyment. I am volunteering to leave a review of this advanced review book.

I love Tamsin Baker as an author and always find her books well written with a tight storyline and this book is no exception. Do not be put of by LGBT storyline the scenes are handled extremely well there is no gratuitous sex in this book what is there is needed for the story

Jeremy is a tiger shifter and he should have been ecstatic when he found his mate only problem she is only a child so he leaves his town to stay away from her. Now he has been called back by his father Natalia is missing and he is needed to save her Only problem is there is a wolf pup involved as well Tommy has always loved his best friend Natalia but why does is heart beat faster whenever he is near the handsome tiger Will he have to fight Jeremy for Natalia's love or will they form a family of their own You will need to read to see

I very much enjoyed this MMF shifter story, especially the fact that it was an equal partnership. Jeremy, Tommy, and Natalia recognized that they were meant to be together, and they were strong enough to admit their feelings and support each other. There is still some self-doubt and external danger to overcome if they are to live HEA, though, and a bit of mystery regarding tensions between the air and land shifters. I was a little disappointed that a major point of contention with the air shifters was resolved off page and the reader is not told what really happened and if anyone was punished. It doesn't detract from the main story of the romance, but I thought a couple more pages would have been enough to close that piece of the story more satisfactorily. That said, I look forward to more in this series.

I am excited to read more as they come out!

I liked this story. It is a m/m/f book for those who are interested. Even though it was a short read, it had plenty of excitement in it. The book also leads me to believe we will have more stories in this world. I am excited to read more as they come out!
Jeremy left his home pack almost ten years ago. He had found his mate Natalia, but she was too young at the time. Now she is missing and he must go back home to help find her. When he does, he finds out that she is dating a wolf shifter named Tommy.
After she is found she must decide which male she wants to mate. Can she have both?? There is also a problem with the bird/air shifters in the area. They attack the land shifters because of both an incident that happened currently and in the past.

4.5 stars

If you're looking for a quick mmf shifter romance, then this book really works. The short format means it is really quick, but there is still a good story in that short format. I'm not normally a fan of the long separation with fated mates, but it made sense that Jeremy left given the age gap with Natalia. The does rely a good bit on fated mates/insta-love to make the mating work, but at least Tommy and Natalia have had time to build a relationship beyond those factors.

I'm really looking forward to seeing more of these stories. I'm hoping we'll get to see more of the air shifters and meet the water shifters.

I’m a big fan of Tamsin Baker and her incredible stories I don’t care if they are m/m or mfm Tamsin is an amazing author/ artist, I say artist because like a great painting it will never fade and that’s the way I feel with Tamsin’s stories. Jeremy left his pack years ago because his fated mate was just a child but now he’s back and Natalia is no child anymore. Now Natalia is with Tommy and they are going to bond until Jeremy comes back, Tommy gets tingles with Jeremy around and he’s worried that Jeremy won’t accept him. There is danger ahead for this threesome and when Natalia is taken by the bird shifters Jeremy and Tommy must work together to save her. This is a fantastic story a 5 plus ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

This was a very interesting, hot and steamy read. The shifters in this world separate themselves based on whether their animals live on land, air, or water. In this book you get to see both land and air shifters. There is a prophecy in the land shifters surrounding their True Alpha, but only the elders know the whole thing. Jeremy, a tiger shifter, left his people when he discovered his mate who was 10 years younger than him and only a child at the time. When she goes missing he returns to his town and mate. But she has a boyfriend, and surprisingly he's attracted to him too. Before these three can find their HEA they must fight the air shifters, solve some problems, and accept their destinies. A quick read full of romance and action, I look forward to reading more in this world.

They rescue Natalia and Jeremy goes about making her his. Natalia doesn't want to choose between the two. Natalia and Tommy are shocked when Jeremy doesn't make her choose. He wants them all to be mates. Will they be able to make their relationship work?

Jeremy, a pure blood tiger shifter, always knew that Natalia was his mate, but when he realised as an 18-year-old that the 10-year-old girl was his mate, he was scared to harm her and left his hometown. Forwarding 15 years. Natalia has gone missing and Jeremy is called home to help find her. When he does so, he finds out that not only Natalia is his mate, but that there is a second mate for him and Natalia.
The book is a nice mix of romance, confusion and adventure, as the problem of Natalia's abduction needs to be solved and new inter-species relationships need to be formed.
Well-written and entertaining.

But they don't mate, she wants them both. When the guys find her, tied up in sky shifter territory, it requires both Jeremey and Tommy to rescue her. But things heat up between them. A little mfm and mmf and such. When attacked again and Tommy's life is in the line, Jeremey gifts for his mates.

Jeremy an Alpha tiger shifter just got a call from his father that his mate Natalia who is also a tiger shifter is missing. He has known she was his mate since he left home ten years ago. She was only 10 yrs old and he couldn't stand the pressure of waiting till she was old enough to mate. His father also told him that Natalia has a boyfriend. So he goes home meets Tommy a wolf shifter and they both desire each other and Jeremy finds out that Natalie is still a virgin. So they find out who took her and rescued her. This is a FMM story and the men do have sex with each other. There is a happy ending for all.

Jeremy Ran from hom at 20 because his desires for a then 10 Natalie were too strong. Now 10 years later Nat is missing and Jeremy is called home to search for his true female mate. Before finding out what happened he sets his eyes on her virgin boyfriend Tommy and Jeremy bday is demanding he claim the guy bit Nat is top priority. Rescues, quick claim his virgin female is the only time Jeremy is mating her the rest his Jeremy and Tommy with Nat just sorta involved. Too quick and just not there for me, I want a story (this isn’t my first one time with the female and a bunch of man on man and the woman is the afterthought story) I wasn’t one that’s equal from start of the book to the end,

A really quick and spicy shifter romance.💞🐅🐺🔥💞

I really enjoyed this romance between Jeremy, Natalia, and Tommy. Jeremy and Natalia are both tiger shifters and Tommy is a wolf shifter. It's an interesting storyline in that, Jeremy and Natalia have known that they were mates since she was a little girl but he didn't feel right about hanging around her, wanting her when she was only ten and he was twenty. So he left their small town and made a life for him elsewhere. But that all changes when she goes missing and he comes home to find her. That's when things get good and spicy.💕💗💕

Fighting destiny by Tamsin Baker.
Jeremy left his small hometown ten years ago, determined to get away from the female child who was his predestined mate.
But Natalia, a rare tiger shifter, has been kidnapped. Jeremy chooses to return to help the land shifter pack find her. What he doesn't expect when he returns home is his attraction to Natalia's boyfriend Tommy and the fact that his tiger mate is still unclaimed.
Jeremy finds himself falling in love with both Tommy and Natalia, yet the rival shifters of the air seem determined to rip them from him.
This was a fantastic read with great characters. Read in one sitting. Just couldn't put it down. Loved it. 5*.

Natalia has been kidnapped and it has become the duty of Jeremy, the man that left when she was a child to rescue her. Jeremy left because because of the feelings that he had for Natalia, his fated mate, who was at the time, a child. During the time that he was gone, Natalia found someone else whom she fell in love with and earned a place in her heart. With three people now in this love triangle, problems are bound to come up, luckily some problems have easy solutions.
I really enjoyed this book and I am glad that I got the opportunity to read it.

I received this book for Free to Give My True & Honest Review.

This is a fantastic shifter to do with Jeremy the Tiger Shifter who moved away when he knew that the younger Tiger Shifter Natalia whom he knows that he CAN'T touch her for years. But he comes back as soon as HE NEEDS to find & save her.
But he gets the shock of his life when he meets her Wolf Shifter boyfriend Tommy as he starts to feel a connection towards him that he's NEVER had before except for Natalia.
So we see how the 3 of them will see how things can work or if Jeremy will return back to the city he ran away to.
A GREAT SHORT READ

This story revolves around Jeremy, a tiger shifter, and his return to his pack when his fated mate, Natalie has disappeared. Also in the story is Tommy, a wolf shifter, who is Natalie’s current boyfriend. The attraction between the three of them is strong and they are eventually mated as one family unit. There is a HEA but a lot happens before this comes about including a kidnapping, an age old grudge, and attack that almost costs Tommy his life. This is an excellent read, the sexual interaction between the three is graphic but well written. I would highly recommend this book.

I loved this! The menage dynamic was interesting but I gave it only 4 stars as i thought there could be more meat around the feud with the air shifters - In this is seemed to be only the vehicle to get Jeremy back to the pack. Much more could have been done around the fight but for all that I found that I raced through this! The flow, despite the flaws mentioned actually worked! The characters could be a bit more rounded but otherwise a pretty good tale!

MMF triad comes together in this spicy read.Tommy a wolf shifter wants Natalia only Jeremy she knows is her true mate. Choosing to wait on Jeremy to come and claim her she never mates with Tommy. When she is kidnapped things make a sudden turn when Jeremy is stunned to find Tommy attracting his tiger also. This is a fiery read with passion from all sides. The only problem is the need to fix many typos and grammatical errors.

It was an easy short read. There is an intensity in the plot. Jeremy, Natalie, and Tommy has an interesting relationship. Their actions show their caring for each other. It could use a bit more chemistry outside the bedroom but the sex scenes were intense and steamy. The resolution of the conflict was a bit hurried.

I enjoyed this book. The story was well written and the characters were relatable and drew the reader into the story. Jeremy left his pack 10 years ago because he could not deal with being attracted to his fated mate who was still a child. Natalia has been waiting to bond with her boyfriend Tommy until Jeremy comes back, she wants them both. After some trouble with the air shifters, they do get their HEA.
