An enjoyable read with Shifters and mates, and trouble around every corner. Nothing will keep these mates.

The pages kept turning because I wanted to know what happened.

These books are quick and easy reads.

Great box set. Granted I read most of the books before I received this set, so you can find my individual review on them there. You will love the struggles and love in each of the stories. Many hours of reading enjoyment.

i read this box set as part of an arc program. This set includes the books Nanny For The Soldier Bear, Holden's Mate, Ranger Ramon, Jackson's Nanny, Werewolf Baby Daddy, Daddy Soldier Bear, Alpha's Secret Baby and Royal Dragon Daddy.

Nanny For The Soldier Bear- Connor learns his brother and sister-in-law have been murdered by a croc and he was left custody of his niece Peyton. Connor also suffers from PTSD from when he was in the military. Connor doesn't know how to care for Peyton and relies on alcohol to help him keep his PTSD under control. When Jessie moves to the Everglades in hopes of finding a teaching job, her sister suggests being a nanny for Peyton and helping Connor. Connor is really rude and surly to Jessie but she wants to help them anyway. Soon things are going well until Connor can't cope anymore and breaks down in front of Jessie. Jessie comforts him, but he reacts very badly the next day and he fires her. Connor is drinking too much and with the murders of his brother and sister-in-law still unsolved, he begins to break down even more. I really like this series and this book was a little emotional. I really felt bad for Connor and Peyton. Connor had so many bad experiences and he didn't know how to cope with them. It was good that Jessie stood by him and tried to help him. I like that he finally realized he needed help.

Holden's Mate- I enjoyed this book about a dragon shifter who had to flee his home planet with three friend and four eggs laid by their Queen. Each man took one of the eggs and were raising the baby as their child. Holden wants to find a mate to help raise his son and think somewhere out there is his mate. He doesn't want to be with someone just to have them there, he wants love. Leah is a psychic who is recently divorced. She is feeling like she failed because her marriage is over and she doesn't want to start dating again. When her two friends insist she go out with them to a bar, Holden is there with his friends and he feels her presence as soon as he enters the bar, although he doesn't understand it. When Leah is approached by a man who won't take no for an answer, Holden comes to her rescue. A few days later, they see each other in the grocery store. Holden is attracted to Leah and wants to know why, so he arranges a psychic reading. Much to his surprise, Leah is the psychic. They have an instant attraction and when Leah sees strange things in Holden's reading, she thinks he is hiding something. Holden knows she is his mate, but he is unsure of how to tell her everything.

Ranger Ramon- Min is working with the CDC and when she asked to go to Arcadia on a top secret assignment to spread tics with a cure for the virus, she goes. Min never knew shifters were real and after she sees video of the attack, she thinks the government wants to cure this and keep it a secret to avoid panic. The first night she arrives, she goes to a local bar to have a drink and sees Ramon sitting with Knox and Trent. Knox and Trent dragged Ramon out in the hopes of him finding a girlfriend. Ramon is nervous when he sees Min, but goes to talk to her. They hit it off and he goes back to her hotel with her. They have a great night and end up spending a week together, and plan to spend more time, but Ramon starts to get sick with the flu. Ramon was infected with the virus and reveals himself as a shifter to Min, who thinks she has the cure, but it isn't. Together they have to find a cure. I loved this series and loved the bears. They are big strong alphas who turn to teddy bears when they find their mates. The connections between them are all so strong and hot. Ramon and Min are like an instant love and both realize it, they work together and trust in each other.

Jackson's Nanny- Jackson owns a number of clubs and is very successful. One night he arrives home to find his wife packed and telling him she is leaving him and their children. Jackson is shocked but thinks he and his wife have been distant for some time. Jackson tells his friend Damian he needs to find a nanny for his children and Damian's wife tells him about her best friend from Ireland, Cathy. Cathy agrees to come to the US to be a nanny for Jackson, only to find his children more than a handful. the children have never had any rules or structure and Cathy is having a hard time getting them to behave. Jackson is spending most of his time at work and dealing with a rival businessman. Jackson also is attracted to Cathy and finds it hard to resist her, so he is keeping his distance. Cathy find Jackson attractive, but thinks he needs to spend more time with his kids and teach them rules. When Jackson's rival threatens his kids, he knows he must take action. I really like this series set in the 80's. I think Jackson and Cathy are great together and really want to raise the kids right.

Werewolf Baby Daddy

Daddy Soldier Bear

Alpha's Secret Baby- Cooper is a ranger and goes on a cruise in order to attend a recruitment drive for rangers to work aboard the cruise ship in Alaska. Cooper is the instructor that will try to lure other rangers to work aboard and on the first day of meetings, he meets Alexis, a werebear from Florida who wants to move to Alaska to explore the world. Alexis and Cooper have an amazing connection from the beginning and they spend most of the cruise together. When they act on their attraction, both think it is the start to a new relationship. Unfortunately, Cooper gets called home in an emergency and doesn't get the chance to see Alexis before he goes. When things get complicated and they miss each other's messages, Alexis has no other choice but to go home to Florida. When Alexis realizes she is pregnant, she still can't find Cooper, so she knows she has to move on. A year later, Alexis is offered a job in Alaska with the park. Alexis wants to find Cooper and see if it is too late for them. I really loved this book, i loved their chemistry. I think they were mates and meant to be. I love how Alexis and Cooper fell in love.

Royal Dragon Daddy- Finn is one of the dragon shifter children rescued from Charok and raised on Earth. Finn is now an adult and learns he is about to be a father. Mandy was about to give birth when she contacted Finn and told him she was going to give the baby up for adoption. Finn wanted his son and was going to raise Phoenix as a single father. Finn worked for a company that made products that were more eco-friendly and Finn was up for a promotion, if he could get the lady who owned a parcel of land to sell it to the company. When Finn was out with his cousin in the forest, he met Aurora. Aurora was a fae and she could travel between Earth and her realm. Aurora knew Finn was a dragon from the beginning and she knew the wizards had invaded her realm looking for the dragons. The wizards were taking all if the fae's magic and told them they would restore it if they got the dragons. Aurora wanted to save her people, so she tried to learn about the dragons and how many there were. Finn saw Aurora and he felt drawn to her. When Finn asked her out, she thought it would be good to get closer to him to learn more, but she didn't expect to develop feelings for him and his son. I really liked this book. I love how Finn loved his son and wanted to raise him. I thought Finn was a great guy who wanted to be with Aurora, i think he suspected she was his fated mate. Aurora loved Finn, but she also wanted to save her people.

This is a good set, it is a mix of different series from Meg. It is a good look at other series you might want to read in the future. Well done.

An Excellent Shifter Collectiom

This collection was well-written, varied, and imaginative. I couldn't stop reading for long. I stayed entranced, going from one story to the next! There was variety in the shifters, their situations and circumstances. How they met their soon to be lovers or mates, the obstacles to that love, and finally their erotic couplings. Excellent imaginings! Recommended!

This collection of stories is enthralling and captivating. I didn't want to put my Kindle down.

This was me looking for another book to read after finishing the previous reading. I wasn't sure about this book, but now I'm just glad I didn't pass it by. It's a nice relaxing read for anytime, day or night.

Daddies

Each book is a shifter that either becomes or is already a daddy through one way or another. Good collection. I didn't read the last book due to not long reading the first series and not being ready to deal with babies grown up

This wonderful collection of shifter daddies includes: Nanny For The Soldier Bear, Holden’s Mate, Ranger Ramon, Jackson’s Nanny, Werewolf Baby Daddy, Daddy Soldier Bear, Alpha’s Secret Baby, and Royal Dragon Daddy. Below are reviews for two of the stories to give you an idea of the variety included. Enjoy!

*** Reviewing “NANNY FOR THE SOLDIER BEAR” ***
Conner Griffin woke immediately as the radio called for the search and rescue team to respond. He shifted into his bear as he ran so he could cover the ground faster. Owen, his alpha, told him through their clan’s mental link that there was a body in the swamp, possibly a murder victim. They strongly suspected the croc shifters who had been causing more trouble lately, thinking that they had more right to the Everglades area than any of the other types of shifters. Conner shifted and went into the water to grab the victim -- he recognized her scent immediately! This was his sister-in-law, Alaina! Then a second victim was brought up on shore – his brother, Logan. Conner bent over and got sick, then shifted and just ran as fast as he could to release his terrible pain.

Jessie, fresh out of college, needed a job and was invited by her sister to come to Florida. There were more teaching jobs available to her than in their small town. Nikki had moved to Homestead near Everglades National Park. As Jessie glanced at her GPS, a bear ran across the road right in front of her! When she finally got to her sister’s place, she was flustered, having gotten lost 3 times with the rerouting over an accident in the swamp. Then Nikki got the phone call that her best friend, Alaina, had been murdered. Their 6-year-old, Peyton, just became an orphan and her uncle would need to hire a nanny. Nikki pleaded with Jessie to take the job. Conner would be able to trust her and it would take one more worry off of him.

Conner was struggling with his PTSD and the meds were not helping. The nightmares were back. He needed to be back at work where he could finally save someone. When he meets Jessie, he’s not very pleasant to her. But with urging, Jessie takes the nanny job. As difficult a beginning as they have, they may have found a perfect place to find healing and build a new family life. But would Conner accept this new life thrust upon him? And would they find justice for the murdered members of his family?

*** Reviewing “ROYAL DRAGON DADDY” ***
Finn walked into the restaurant, smiling as he spotted his four cousins. They made it a tradition to meet regularly and catch up with each other. Finn’s father, Holden, and 3 friends had come to Earth from the planet Charok after the War of Storms had started between the dragons and wizards over twenty years earlier. Each of the dragons had taken the last of their slain queen’s royal eggs before fleeing in an attempt to preserve the future of their kind. Those four eggs had become Finn and his “cousins”, a royal lineage as they recently discovered. Finn told his cousins that his boss indicated that after the business development officer retires, Finn would be given that position. While they were talking, Finn got a call from Mandy, his ex, and stepped outside to take it. She got right to the point – she was about to give birth and the baby was his. She intended to put the child up for adoption! He had no idea what to do – but he could not allow his half-DRAGON baby to be adopted!

Ultimately, Finn is now a father and takes on the responsibility of raising his child alone. When his job sends him to see about purchasing land that his company is interested in, he meets Aurora, a Fae princess who is trying to find a way to repair the veil that keeps the Fae realm from being seen by humans. She immediately senses he is a dragon and both of them are attracted to each other. However, wizards had offered help her mend the veil but have deceived her and now threaten her people, so she needs to distract them. She makes a poor decision. With the wizards’ interest on dragons, she figures she can use baby Phoenix, Finn’s son, to turn the wizards’ attention elsewhere. Can Finn ever forgive her? Is their attraction for each other doomed?

These are exciting books! The characters are strong and developed well by the author. The tension is high. With all of these books to choose from, you will always find the “perfect” book waiting for you!

The shifter daddies in this book are in for a big surprise. Suddenly taking care of their off spring, wow. Bring on the nannies. Good luck there. The stories are so cute as the guys are struggling with new responsibilities and learning to navigate new territory. The nannies are also struggling in some cases and become aware of what they have to deal with. Are new mates in the mix? This book is so interesting and entertaining and I recommend it.

Eight shifter daddies...

This box-set contains eight of Ms. Ripley's hot shifter stories. I had already read seven of the eight but loved the idea of having them in one book. If you're looking for a weekend read, I highly recommend this set. Good luck trying to figure out which is your favorite of the eight...
