Steamy, Fun Standalone romance with a HEA. Contains mature themes, adult language, and sexy shifters. 18+ Readers Only!.
A very light read. I thought Masons behavior reprehensible and thought he was a spoiled entitled idiot, which would have been ok if I had seen some lesson learned, and a real change in him but he bought his way out of trouble and IMO that’s a missed opportunity to tell a real story with some depth.
Fun read. He is a workaholic and she hasn’t got a job. They meet at a dating agency but can they hit it off. He needs a mate. Enjoyable read. I recieved a copy via Booksprout and this is my honest review
La verdad es que este libro está tan lleno de fallos de todo tipo que es hasta impresionante.
Si solo fuesen fallos gramaticales, que los hay, tampoco sería tan grave. Eso se suele solucionar con un editor. El problema son los errores en la trama y situaciones, como mínimo, poco creíbles.
Es corto y como no está bien escrito pues no tiene profundidad, ni sus personajes están bien desarrollados.
When you can’t get the name of your female protagonist right, it’s a poor start. Is it Ava Douglas or is it Ava Daniels? Who is editing this book? Hold their paycheck; they don’t deserve it.
Ava Douglas was laid off from her job at a prestigious marketing firm and her whole life changed. She had to move to a sleazy apartment, but she was behind on the rent and now received a final notice in the mail that she was about to be evicted. But among the stack of past due notices in the day’s mail, she saw a postcard from a dating agency that was “Now Hiring”! Surprisingly, there was an opening in their marketing department, which perfectly matched her skill set! Much to her surprise, she had a phone interview the next day and scheduled the in-person interview – then she would find out if she got the job!
Mason Sinclair knocked on the door of his father’s study. Mason was the oldest son and in line to one-day inherit the alpha leadership of their bear clan. To do that, he needed a mate and currently was not even looking for one. Mason had already taken over the business and it was doing well under his leadership. Now his parents wanted to become “snowbirds” and spend time in warm Florida. His alpha father needed him to step up the mate hunt or his father would be forced to consider arranging a marriage for him. He gave Mason one month to find a mate or he would have to step down as CEO of the company.
Mason bumped into his brother Liam as he brought in the mail. Liam asked why he was upset and remembered a post card in the pile of mail for a dating agency that guaranteed success. Unhappily, he signed up, hating that his father put him in this situation. When he drove to the Prince Dating Agency for his appointment, he was asked to follow the receptionist. She was already out of his sight, so he hurried around the corner. A distracted woman was coming quickly toward him and they bumped into each other. His bear immediately sniffed in interest. The woman didn’t pull away from him as he caught hold of her so she wouldn’t fall. He had heard from friends that finding a mate was like love at first sight. Was that accurate? Could she possibly be meant for him? If she is offered the job at the agency, it will be doubtful that she can date a client. How will this turn out for them?
This author writes good stories, but lack of an editor makes it difficult sometimes to navigate the book when the errors are numerous or “bigger”. The names of three of the characters are scrambled so that I had to re-read sections to be sure which person was being referenced. That truly does take away the momentum of the reading and can get tiresome. However, the story line is well-paced, the characters were handled well as far as descriptions go, and with some editing, I could recommend this book easily. Grab your copy of the book and see how Mason and Ava get their problems sorted out, and whether there is a future for the two of them as mates!
The author forgot very quickly she had named Ava "Ava Douglas" and Henrietta "Henrietta Miller. only 10 pages further into the book they had changed to Ava Daniels and Henrietta Douglas.
The MC Ava is the most stupid, naive girl.. wasn't she supposed to be clever? Working in marketing? As a manager of the department, no less?
And why is Mason talking about his father as 'Bradley' instead of just 'father'.
When Mason stands outside his father's office eavesdropping, his father as a bear shifter should have smelt him. Mason could smell Ava's arousal and so on, so his father should could smell or hear anyone in close distance.
Why does she still have a car loan when she sold her expensive car to get the wreck of a car she has now? I don't get it.
Why does everyone act like children in this book...
The author should really work on her 'show don't tell' situations.
"Apparently, her team had done their job too well, and the company felt they were over-staffed. That decision hadn’t played well in the months since, as the company had to lay even more people off to compensate for their error." This is just stupid, no company would fire the team who does well. Yes, they can make think they are over staffed, but then the leader of the team would be the one who stayed as top priority. This excuse makes no sense. I can see the author didn't want her to seem incapable at her job. But there are so many reasons you could have picked that would have actually made sense instead of "she was so good they fired her"..... No company on the planet would fire their marketing team because they did well.
Maybe a spoiler:
Why! Make! A! Shifter! Story! If you don't use it for the story???? This book could have worked without him being a shifter, it served no purpose in the story what so ever.
i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the first book in the Bears with Benefits series. In this book, Mason is the oldest son and his father is the alpha of their bear clan. Mason's father wants Mason to settle down and find his mate, or he will pass on the honor of being to alpha to one of his brothers and demote him at the family's company. Mason wants to continue working at the company and he enjoys being CEO. Mason's brother tells him about the Prince Dating Agency and Mason decides to try it. When Mason goes to the agency, he sees Ava and he wants to date her. Ava was at the agency for a job interview. Ava lost her marketing job and has been living on her savings. Ava is facing a lot of bills and being evicted from her apartment, so she really wants the job at the agency. Mason learns staff are not allowed to date clients, so he bribes the manager not to hire Ava and to match her to him. Ava hears she has been matched with Mason and is confused, thinking their date is another part of her job interview. Ava and Mason have an amazing connection and they are very attracted to each other. When Mason hears how much Ava needed the job, he tells her his part on her not getting it. Ava is angry and leaves Mason. Ava still has to find a job and is now heartbroken by losing Mason. Mason wants to make it up to Ava and sets out to make it right. I liked this book and thought Mason grew up a lot. I think he was a little spoiled at first and i think Mason realized not everything was about him and what he wants. Good one.
Mason is the CEO of his family’s company and his father is pushing him to find a mate or he has to step down from being CEO and the next alpha of the bear community. Mason is not happy with this demand but he understands. His brother Liam suggests signing up for Prince Dating Agency to find his mate. Ava is a marketing worker. She was laid off and has not been able to find a new job. Finally, she applied for a position at the Prince Dating Agency. It seemed all went well and she would be hired. Instead, they set her up on a date with a man she bumped into while there. Mason knew this woman was his mate as soon as he bumped into her. He sabotaged her getting hired at the agency. He offered lots of money for them not to hire her and set them up! At first, everything is going great, then Ava discovers what he did! She is furious! When she gets home from their date her car is repossessed and she is in danger of being evicted from her home. Will she talk to him again? Can he convince her she is his mate..let alone tell her his secret? This is a sweet shifter story about fated mates and their journey! It has a HEA ending!

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Mason's Match by Haley Weir is Book 1 in the Bears With Benefits series. Mason and Ava's story opens a new series for Haley Weir. This is a sweet and spicy story that pulls at your heart strings. I read Book 2 first (Liam's Lust), and went backwards because I enjoyed the book so much. As an opener, Mason's Match is a great start. I found myself identifying with Ava's situation and nodding at how spot on the emotions and frustrations were written. Haley Weir is quickly earning a spot on my keeper shelf along side Jasmine Wylder and Christine Pope with her feel good reads. Treat yourself to a great New Year's gift of love, laughs and simple pleasures. This is a Mature Readers Only read.
This honest and voluntary review was made possible by reading an advance copy from Booksprout.

This is Mason and Ava's story. Mason is a bear shifter, CEO of the company and next in line for Alpha, but he needs a mate.

She meets Mason in the hallway and the immediately feel a connection. He wants to date her so he sets up that they don't hire her and put her in the system to date her. You know from this point that the proverbial s~~t will hit the fan when Ava finds out and you know she will. As she is so broke after getting laid off from her job and running out of money. This does have a very happy ending.

This is a good beginning to a new series. Mason is the oldest of four sons and he needs to find a mate to become the new Alpha. With a one month time limit to find his mate, he finds his way to the Prince Dating Agency. Ava is in dire straits and hoping to get a job at the agency. Mason decides he doesn't want any old date, he wants Ava and he's willing to do anything to get her. He messes things up so bad. It is funny, but not funny in all of the turmoil and hurt he stirs up. This book captured my attention and I am looking forward to finishing the series. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Mason, a bear shifter, is the oldest son of the clan chief. As such he is expected to mate before he can take over his duties and his parents threaten to pass him by, if he does not get a mate soon. Desperate he signs up for a matchmaking service. But because of some stupid actions he almost loses her again. Fairly rich in action for a seemingly straightforward story. A good entertainment for a holiday or a lazy weekend. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
What a great Tale!! I loved the flow and ebb of this and the fact that neither of the people were perfect! They came across as more real and as a result, more likeable! I thought that they had a depth that is not normally cultivated in a shortish tale. Even the subterfuge came across well despite what it did to Ava and the consequences - speaking of which - much more realistic that some scenarios I've come across!

Ava was a great character and I enjoyed her. Mason was a rich bear who goes to a dating service and see's Ava who is there for a job interview and desperately needs the job. When Mason pays to have her not hired but matched to him as they don't allow employees to date clients it got even more interesting. When Ava finds out she's mad. Who can blame her. Mason finally does right by her. Great chemistry and a fun shifter story. I am voluntarily reviewing an arc I received from Booksprout.
This is a quick, easy sweet paranormal romance with characters that has lots of depth and chemistry. It is a beautifully written, well developed story that s a fast pace page turner with some drama and twists. It is quite enjoyable and highly recommended.
