Paranormal Dating Agency #23
Bear in Mind
Private Investigator, Summer Delgado hopes Gerri can find her twin sister a man. If anyone needs a happily ever after, it's Winter. But not Summer. She’s got no time for romance. Even if it’s wrapped in smoking-hot shifter muscles. She's got to focus on the break-in at Gerri Wilder's apartment. Who needs a sexy, grumpy bear stomping around? Not Summer. Nope. Gerri has other plans, of course.
As the alpha of his den, Quinn Teddy isn't interested in finding a mate. He's got other things to worry about. Like getting Gerri Wilder's recipes and helping his ailing father. He’s also got a missing mother and twin brother to find. When he collides into Summer, his bear reacts. Both man and animal want to bask in her sunny presence. But Teddy knows he shouldn't have time for the sassy beauty. Even if she does have curves in all the right places. But he can't stay away.
Thankfully, Summer’s a gifted private investigator and agrees to help Quinn. Together, they‘ll follow a new trail of clues to recover the missing Teddy family members. The quest will test their budding relationship and put Summer's life on the line. Quinn has already lost so much. He'll do anything to keep her safe from the dangers of his past.

More serious - but just as sweet and cuddly as a Teddy Bear
Millie writes fun books, and this one is as well. But it has more 'tooth' than some others. Kidnapping, hate crimes and attempted murder - but done really well, and offset great characters-and ynou want to throttle! A wonderful addition to the series.

I love author Milly Taiden's Paranormal Dating Agency or PDA series and in this one we get not only Gerri Wilder but also her friend Barbara Wolf who are showing us they can match up shifters. This book has all the feel goods and romance we get from a PDA book plus that touch of mystery and more. I love that we are introduced to a second person who we know we is getting matched as well so that has us waiting impatiently for the next book to come out so we can find out how their story turns out.
Summer and Quinn's story was awesome.

This is an OK shifter romance, but it seemed like the couple was more in lust than in love. I have no problems with lots of sexy times in my romances, but this one was mostly sex and only a little romance. I liked the couple, and I always adore Gerri Wilder -- I just need a little more romance and a little less lust.

Love this one it pairs two devious matchmakers and best friends. She wasn't looking for herself but with Gerri and Barbara at it s and characters a la he better watch out. As usual a wonderful story and characters ala Milly Taiden. Funny,steamy,action packed. Well done looking forward to more.

Book 23 in PDA series by Milly Taiden
Summer is human a PI and and twin, she meets up with Gerri Wilder to try and find her sister a mate.
So after meeting Gerri and finding out she had a break in and she offers to investigate for helping get Winter a mate.
While leaving Summer bumps into Quinn a big bear.
Quinn is a B&B owner and wants Gerri’s baking secrets for his business so agrees to visit every week.
I really liked that this started and Summers twin sister but Summer ends up with the mate.
I also really love the twist in book about Quinn’s missing mother and brother.
Really looking forward to more about this Black and Brown clans.
You’d think that by 23rd book in series these would get boring or repetitive but so far I’ve got to say I still absolutely love this series

Summer just wants to help her sister find a mate. She is NOT looking for herself. However, Gerri has a habit of dinding your mate, even when you don't know you want one!
Quinn makes a bit of an impression of Summer when they literally crash into one another. He needs to make a better impression, after all the intriguing woman is his mate! Summer believes she is investigating a break-in at Gerri's home. But as usual that sneaky matchmaker has a much more intriguing plan.
Quinn has a lot on his plate. Hs dad is beginning to fail mentally due to the length of time his mate has been missing. Quinn needs to find his mum as soon as he can. Can he deal with finding his mate, helping hs dad and expanding his B&B at the same time?
Fun, snarky, feisty female. Rough, tough, kind and determined alpha male. Oh and the surname of Teddy! OMG that made me laugh!

Let me start off by saying I loved Quinn. This was not one Of Milly Taiden's best books. For one it was like reading a cereal box. There was nothing really in between. They are shifters so when they shift in anger or in a hurry they ruin their clothes. But for some reason Milly didn't feel the need to go in to depth with this. One minute they shift then the next they miraculously have clothes on again.
And the heroin was not the brightest bulb in the pack. She is a PI and she keeps saying she can take care of herself. Guess where that gets her, yep kidnapped and she really didn't put up a fight maybe a little struggle. After she is rescued and Quinn tries to keep her safe she says "hello PI here I can take care of myself" yeah and how did that work out for you last time.
So this wasn't one of my favorites by Milly. It was to rushed but I liked the fast pace. If that makes sense.

This is book 23 in the Paranormal Dating Agency series. It can be read as a stand-alone. Summer wants Gerri to fix her twin sister up and she wants nothing to do with a man. She’s way too busy to date or anything but you know how fate is. As she’s leaving Gerri’s apartment, she literally runs into Quinn Teddy, a sexy Alpha bear. The chemistry between these two make this such a fun read. It’s short but the action involving Summer, Quinn and Quinn’s family is fantastic! The only thing I found wrong with the book is that it wasn’t long enough. If you are looking for a quick read that will keep your attention, then you need this book. I haven’t found a bad book in this series, so I hope the author never runs out of single shifters.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This book could have used a bit more explanation on the shifter world (there may be some more in the previous books, but there needed to be just a bit more in this story). Also, Summer makes some really stupid (and potentially dangerous decisions) for someone that is supposed to be a trained PI. But I did like her story with Quinn. If you're looking for a fast moving shifter insta-love romance, this does work well. There was some mystery, mostly surrounding Quinn's missing mother and brother, but I thought it helped move the plot along well.
I'm really looking forward to getting to read Winter's story. Hopefully well get to see a bit more of Summer and Quinn in that story.

I love this book. I have read all of Milly's books that she has written. I can't wait until the next book comes out. This book was written like I was there with the character going through what they went through.

Milly Taiden did it again! Bear in Mind: Paranormal Dating Agency was awesome!
From page one, Milly Taiden delivered a suspensful, intriguing, sexy story! The chemistry between PI Summer Delgado and Alpha bear shifter Quinn Teddy sizzles from the moment they first run into each other. The mystery that unfolds from there keeps you on your toes, all while the sheets are practically burned up by their attraction! Thanks Milly for another amazing read!

This was another awesome addition to the Paranormal Dating Agency stories. Fantastic dialogue as always, plenty of hot sexy scenes, and action. A really fun story.

I love when an author writes a book where her two beloved worlds collide, and Bear in Mind is just one of the books. Gerri Wilder and Barbara Wolfe are at their best when they are meddling in the lives of the people they care about. Summer Delgado is sassy, witty and sexy while just trying to do something for her twin sister. Quinn Teddy is an all Alpha bear shifter trying to take care of his family. Sparks fly and the two burn up the sheets and the pages. What an awesome addition to the Paranormal Dating Agency world!

A sweet, sexy romance with a twist of suspense. Love Milly's writing style and the way she sometimes leave a hint of who will be Gerri's next victim. Can't wait to read the next one!

This was a great read! It did leave me with a lot of questions. This story was a nice change from some of the other PDA stories. Hope some of my questions are answered in another installment.

Quinn and Summer's story. Gerri the fabulous match maker strikes once again with the help of a old friend Barbara. Summer is hoping that Gerri will find her twin sister a mate but as fate would have it summer happens to be single! Summer is set with her life and is not open to dating. But fate always has something else in mind and once again I was sucked in by the stories plot.. who can resist. I won’t give the whole story awash but it’s well worth the read. PDA is one of my favorite series to follow.

Addictive & Shamelessly Entertaining, PDA Never Disappoints...
I love, love, LOVE the Paranormal Dating Agency (PDA) book series by Milly Taiden! Before I began reviewing books in earnest last spring I read through the original twenty books in quick succession. The PDA series is what made Milly Taiden my go-to author for quick reads in between the much darker, more violent fare I frequent. Her grumpy, growly alpha types (shifter and alien alike) are perfect literary palate cleansers for me, helping me let go and embrace some lovely, quirk filled, and possessively sexy, soft-core literary smut. Because everyone needs some flirtatious insta-love with a side of angst tinged, uncertainty in their lives once in a while! And “Bear in Mind”, Taiden’s twenty-third addition to her PDA universe does not disrupt her delicious formula or disappoint in any way.
“Bear in Mind”, the story of Summer, a feisty, private investigator. Who is drawn to matchmaker extraordinaire, Gerri Wilder, with hopes of setting up her twin sister, Winter, with a man. And Quinn, the alpha of the local brown bears and owner of the aptly named, Beary Comfortable Bed and Breakfast, who has his own dealings with Ms. Wilder but for very different reasons. Coincidence? Nope, not even close, as Gerri does what she does best, whatever the hell she wants, and puts in motion some delicious plans of her own involving both sisters, Quinn, and the bear clan.
Despite being a bit tame by Taiden standards and not full of the super-charged sexy scenes some of the previous PDA installments contained, overall, it is a yummy, light-hearted read full of sass, humor, and wonderful characters. And also despite containing some sloppy editing issues, story wise, it is Taiden at her best, inlaying Easter eggs and subtle plot points, hinting at stories yet to come. It is honestly what I like most about the PDA series, they’re all connected in one way or another, and often feature characters from earlier books in the series (as this one does) making them addictively stimulating, and shamelessly entertaining and interesting.
Every time I finish one installment I impatiently wait for the next, as I am now…
