Josie Davis runs the Hogg Trough, a biker bar she inherited after her dad was sent to prison seven years ago for something he didn’t do, killing her mother. Josie is struggling to get past the loss of her parents when a gorgeous man walks into her bar. She is surprised at her strong reaction to Bran but used to guarding her heart, she won’t trust him enough to act on her attraction.

Bran St. Clair, King of the Fae, is drawn to a bar on the edge of a rural town, knowing the owner, Josie is his true mate. He needs to claim her, but his job is to search for outlaw Fae who escaped to the Earth Plane. His overwhelming need for Josie leads the murderous Fae traitor to her doorstep. There’s one man on Earth he trusts to help him; Michael Mato, the Chief and Lead Elder of the bear shifters and the only man Bran has ever loved.

When Bran needs his help to protect Josie, Michael is instantly drawn to her. After surviving the loss of his wife decades before, he’s overcome with his love for Bran, the need to guard Josie and his obligation of leading his tribe.
Will evil and old secrets tear them apart or draw them together?

This story contains unrequited love, two hot alpha-males, and true MMF love. There is no cheating, cliffhangers, and a HEA for the characters.

Trigger warning, there is a scene at the end of the book containing implied torture and sadomasochism.

Great story
Bran picks up were Devitt left off and can be read without reading Devitt's story. In the search for the rogue fae, who caused his youngest son and his mate harm, Bran, the fae king, finds his true mate. Josie runs the biker bar her father opened for his MC. She lost her mother when she was 4 and her father almost a decade ago, accused of her mother's murder. He is in prison, and she respects his wishes of staying away but keeps in tough with letters. His MC brothers keep an eye on her.
Josie can;t see what a man like Bran sees in her. She is tall but no super model. Bran takes some convincing to make Josie see that his feeling are genuine. Then he has to explain what he is. He is over joyed that she chooses to be his mate. She feels, Michael, the chief of the bear shifters in his heart and in her own. Michael is very special to Bran, their love and friendship span 6 centuries. When the rogue fae attack Josie's bar, Bran take her to Michael for safety. With Michael Josie and Bran feel complete.
Bran and Michael soon find that Josie is not an ordinary human, as she adapts to their magic. When a powerful white witch coven makes contact with them regarding the rogue fae they soon learn why.
Josie learns everything she though she new about her family was wrong. Who her parent are and who her beloved father is. All the sacrafices that were made, all to keep her safe from her grandfathers black coven.
Fast paced and steamy. Loved Bran and Michael's story. Looking forward to Nigel and Rhy's story. What the Black Coven is going to try. What Garnett is up to. Hoping that Leland and Chalice find their mates soon as well. Hoping to meet the rest of Bran's son's and more of Michael's grandsons.

Bran King of the Fae meets his fated mate in Josie a human bar owner. Once he convinces her that they our mates and shares who he is they mate.
This is just the beginning of their journey, disaster, unexpected bonus to mating, hidden secrets and more. This journey is an adventure in love, magic and family. If you read Devitt you know your in for a great story if you haven't you may want to read it first but it will not be spoiled if you don't.
M.D. Stewart is becoming a favorite in fantasy, my favorites have are Laura k. Hamilton and Anne McCaffery.

Bran and Michael finally got the happily ever after they deserve after a centuries!
I liked that while you get a glimpse into Josies childhood in the prologue, that it was revealed over the course of the story with a big revelation at the end.
While this is a standalone, if planning to read book 1: Devitt, read it first their is a quick summary and spoilers included in this book.
This is a wonderful and fun read.

I really liked this book. The characters came together seamlessly. Josie is trying to to keep her dad's bar afloat after he was put away for something he didn't do. Bran comes into her life and turns it upside down after finding out what he is and what she means to him. Bran takes her to Michael for protection and they find out she is also his mate. Danger surrounds her but she has two hunky mates to help her along the way

The mystery that surrounds Josie's heritage slowly comes to light as she meets and bonds with her two alpha mates. When an enemy from his past threatens Josie's life, Bran takes his true mate to his friend and lover Michael the Bear Clan alpha who Josie recognizes as her second true mate. And when Josie's mama shows up, all the missing pieces fall into place. This is a great start for the series. I enjoyed reading it.

The unexpected made real

It’s been a while since I read the first book in this series, but this second book was just like bumping into an old friend. The author kept the overarching storyline intact and set the pace for an all new adventure. I loved the characters and the ease with which they fell in love, and I enjoyed the story that took them to their HEA while setting us up for even more adventures to come. I know this book has been out for a while, but I really hope the author continues the story because this book is a fantastic one to get lost in.

So, I read the first one, Devitt, and I really enjoyed that one, so I jumped at the chance to read Bran! I really liked this book too. It was full of adventure, action, magic, and oh, so much sexy steam. The M/M parts, like I had said with my review of Devitt, usually aren't something I care for, but Stewart writes them beautifully. It was a great read!

Bran
Fae Shifters Book 2
M.D. Stewart

This was a great book. I loved Bran and Josie. They were a great couple. Fated mates who were meant to be. Then Michael comes to help, and falls in love with Josie as well. Bran and Michael have always loved each other. Can they make it work with the extenuating circumstances? They are amazing!

So much going on in this book! Fae, shifters, witches, vampires. I love that this book was a permanent menage. That was the one thing I didn't like about the first book in the series. I love a good mmf menage and this one was hot and the main characters were all perfect for each other. Enjoy!

***I decided to review an ARC of this book.***

The second book in this series and it is just getting better a well written story that held my interest throughout. Josie Davis runs the Hogg Trough, a biker bar, Bran St. Clair King of the Fae comes to the bar while chasing outlaw Fae who have come to the Earth plane. Josie he realizes is his mate but he has brought the villain to Josie. Bran needs help so he calls on the bear shifter Michael Mato the Chief and Lead Elder of the bear shifters and a man Bran loves. Will, both men find a way to keep Josie safe and will the three of them get their happy ending? Those where the questions that I needed answers to. I would recommend this book.
