Lumberjack Bears Boxed Set: Books 1 - 5
This is one boxed set you do NOT want to miss!
The Lumberjack Bears Box Set has all the rough, rugged and irresistibly sexy alpha males that you've been waiting for. By the time you reach the end you'll be begging for more!
Book 1 - To Love a Bear
So long as the guys call him Boomer, Theodore Parker is content with his life. He has a place to stay, work to do, guys to hang—or fight with—when he wants, and the wilds of Montana to roam when he needs to be alone or go full bear. He has everything he needs.
Until he finds a woman on the side of the hill, hurt and unable to remember who she is. The more he’s around this alluring woman, the more he realizes his life isn’t complete without her. He’s not so selfish as to doom her to a rough life with a bear-shifting mountain man, though.
Book 2 - To Save A Bear
When Addison Stravinsky finds herself staring down the barrel of a gun at her banking job, she decides life is too short not to pursue her dreams.
Her novel-writing dreams, that is.
Not the dreams about the sexy stranger who saved her in the bank.
But the new dreams won’t go away. Because the more Addison gets to know Reid Bronson, the more she’s attracted to this intelligent, sensitive, sexy, man. The trouble is, the more she gets to know him, the more she realizes he’s hiding something from her—something that’s threatening him from the outside and destroying him from within.
Book 3 - To Trust a Bear
Morgan and his little gang of rogue bears are stirring up trouble.
Never in a million years did Callie want to see Morgan, the cheating jerk who stole her heart and stomped all over it over a decade ago. Unfortunately for her, the leader of her idyllic Alaskan community of bear shifters wants her to bring Morgan’s group back to the fold before they ruin things for bears everywhere.
The trouble is, the longer Callie hangs out with Morgan and his friends, the more she comes to doubt her upbringing. As everything she always thought important gets turned on its head, Callie must figure out who to trust and how to earn the trust of those she has inadvertently hurt.
Especially Morgan.
Book 4 - To Tame a Bear
Aimee believes her life may finally be heating up. At last she can follow her dreams of opening a restaurant. And with Callie off with her new mate, Aimee’s got the gorgeous grizzly she’s fallen for (and his gourmet kitchen) all to herself. Dominick is as tasty as the feasts she loves to make, and he seems to find her irresistible.
At least he does until the suffering caused by their fight with the Den makes him wild. The post-fight Dom is in constant pain and pulling away from Aimee as if afraid he might break her.
Can Aimee convince Dom that she’s stronger than she looks in time to prevent his bear side from overwhelming the man she loves?
Book 5 - To Redeem A Bear
Orion knows he's losing the battle to control his bear. It's only a matter of time before he's so far gone that one of his friends feels obliged to put him down like a well-loved but rabid dog.
That's partly why he welcomes the sexy shifter from the Den who shows up with a silver-bullet with his name on it. Orion figures this will be the perfect end--he'll have a bit of fun with this vixen and then stop complicating everyone's life.

I have read all of these books individually, and am pleased to find them in a lovely box set. I will be recommending this to my friends and family.
To Love a Bear
I was quite surprised when I first started this book and realized why Emmy was half way down the cliff. Ms Hartley has covered this situation quite nicely and allowed Emmy’s recovery to provide her with the strength she needs to cope with her ex-husband. I loved Boomer, he really is a Teddy Bear! Sparks seemed to fly from almost the beginning between these two main characters. Emmy is also a catalyst amongst the other bears, bringing them together.
To Save a Bear
Reid is such an intense character. His bear seems close to be taking over. When Addison is held up in a bank robbery and Reid saves her, she is determined to make the most of her life and not put things off. She stumbles across Reid and ends up renting a room in his cabin so that she can write the book she has always dreamed of. Reid tries his hardest to keep her at arm’s length as he fears what his bear will do to her. However, the longer Addison is in his cabin, their feelings for each other grow deeper. When danger threatens Addison, will Reid be able to work together with his bear and save her? I enjoyed this story very much.
To Trust a Bear
Morgan is such a protective character, and you can’t help but love him. The storyline in this book is well written and allows for further expansion in following ones. The attraction between Morgan and Callie is off the charts, but circumstances from their past are threatening to keep them apart. This is a book you cannot put down once started. I am looking forward to seeing where Emilia is taking us with this series.
To Tame a Bear
Aimee and Dom are a great couple. Dom’s bear has been damaged by the Den and he doesn’t trust himself to keep Aimee safe, even from himself. Aimee is devastated when Dom turns from her but circumstances occur which changes this. With lots of fear and danger in their lives, they must work doubly hard to be together. I really loved the ending of this story.
To Redeem a Bear
Light-hearted tale of forgiveness, of oneself and others. I loved Orion’s story! He seems so laid back at times, even when he is fighting with his bear. Anais is torn between what she feels her duty to her brother and her growing desire for Orion. The trials these two go through, keeps you cheering for them all through the book. I found it hard to put the book down and highly recommend it to shifter lovers.

The Lumberjack Bears Boxed Set: Books 1 - 5 is an anthology about five lumberjack bear shifters and how they each find their mate. I borrowed it from the Kindle Unlimited Program.
Book 1 ~To Love a Bear is the romance between Boomer, Theodore Parker and Emmy White his human mate.
Book 2 ~ To Save a Bear starts with a bank robbery where Addison Stravinsky, teller is saved by Reid Bronson and how their romance develops to a happy ending.
Book 3 ~ To Trust a Bear is a second chance romance between Callie and Morgan, which brings the battle with her father the leader of the Den.
Book 4 ~ To Tame a Bear brings Aimee, Callie's friend and otter shifter and Dominic together in a dramatic story with another happy ending.
Book 5 ~ To Redeem a Bear starts with Anais being sent to kill Orion by the leader of the Den, but she can't kill this fun loving but troubled bear. I loved how the group comes together to solve her problems and they find a happy ending as mates.

Lumberjack Bears
I read each of these books as an advanced reader. All my reviews are voluntary.
To Love A Bear – 4 stars
When Theodore "Boomer" Parker, bear shifter and lumber worker, finds a woman unconscious at the bottom of a rocky hill near his work site, his bear is immediately focused on her. Boomers's workmates, also bears, are willing to take her off his hands, but he is not letting her go so easily. When it is clear she has no idea who she is or why she is alone in the woods, Boomer takes her to the cabin where he is staying. He knows he needs to take her back to town before his bear gets too attached, but something tells him she is in some kind of danger.
Find out what happens when one small human woman puts herself in the middle of a bunch of lonely, horny bears. I look forward to seeing the rest of the bears find their mates.
To Save A Bear – 5 stars
Second story in the series was another great one. Reid was just going to the bank to get some cash, well, that and get another look at his favorite, lovely teller. He did not plan on foiling a bank robbery and getting shot in the process. Addison was just trying to make enough money working as a bank teller to allow her to eventually follow her dream of becoming a writer. She was not planning on having a gun pointed at her and watching her favorite customer jump in stop the robbery. It was enough to make her decide that it was time for a change. No more putting off her dream.
As a remembered "For Rent" sign leads her to Reid's cabin looking for a place to live and write, she is disappointed to learn the cabin is no longer for rent and surprised when the owner offers to rent her a room. She is not sure why she agrees or why she feels so drawn to Reid, but her lack of an abode convinces her to accept his offer. She is immediately aware that her landlord has secrets, but that won't really affect her, right?
I am not going to ruin the story for you so I will quit now.
To Trust A Bear – 5 stars
This is Morgan and Callie's story. The two were raised together and were in love when Callie finds out something that has her telling Morgan to leave and not come back. That is when he and some of the other bears of the den left Alaska and started traveling. Now Callie has come to try to convince Emma to come to the den to have her off-spring and meets up with Morgan once again. She doesn't understand why her bear still wants him, but it isn't going to happen.
Morgan could never understand what caused Callie to break up with him, but he is determined to find out and make amends for it now that she is close by. Little do the two of them realize what trouble is going to come from their need for each other. (There is also an introduction to Callie's friend, Aimee, an otter shifter who is falling for Dom.)
To Tame A Bear – 5 stars
In this fourth book of the series things get a little dark. Dom is a broken bear after his abduction and torture by the Den. He couldn't protect his mate and he is filled with anger. Aimee will be much better off without him.
Aimee cannot seem to get through to Dom, no matters how hard she tries. She has had too much heartache in her life and has never really belonged. Just when she thought she might have a chance at love, Cassie's father and his Den of followers shows up and kidnaps Dom and almost kills her. Now she can't seem to put Dom back together again. If she can't reach him what is she going to do?
To Redeem A Bear – 5 stars
If you have been following along in the series in order than you know about the den of bear shifters that have slowly been finding their mates. Orion is the one who has a lot of trouble with his bear. Since he is a turned bear versus a born bear, he struggles to control his inner beast. He gets angry and goes wild at times. The other guys have helped him by fighting him to give him an outlet for his anger, but now that they are mated he doesn't feel right asking this of them. Everybody still tries to keep an eye on him, but he knows it is time to find a way to end his life before he either hurts an innocent, or is outed to the humans.
Anais is also a turned bear. She too struggled to integrate her bear and human sides. Her non-shifter brother has gotten himself into trouble with loan sharks and Richard (of the Alaskan den, remember him?) has agreed to pay her well to kill Orion. She was told he was wild and needed to be put down for everyone's safety, so why did this nice, handsome man stop and offer to help her out when she is "stranded" on the side of the road? He looks calm, collected, and is polite and kind. Maybe her bear is right and she is making a big mistake, but what else is she to do?
Orion is surprised, and a little excited when he figures out that this woman, apparently a shifter though she is trying to hide her scent with perfume, is going to try to kill him. As he thinks he deserves death he doesn't mind that part, but his bear likes her and so he decides to draw it out for awhile to see how creative she can get. This way he will get to spend some time with her before she offs him.
Find out what happens when an inept assassin discovers that she can't kill the person she needs to kill, even if her brother's life depends on it, and a troubled male finds out that there is something worth living for after all.

*** Reviewing “BOOK 1 - TO LOVE A BEAR” ***
Theodore Parker, known as Boomer by his friends, had a headache. His bear pressed against his bones, groaning and moaning. Boomer promised they would take a break soon from the noisy process of cutting down trees. As he ran the machine to load trees on the back of the truck, he saw a flash of white caught between a tree and a low bush. Boomer signaled the men to stop all the machinery while he got down and checked it out. He scented a human! He helped her up and she hissed in pain – she said she might have sprained her ankle. As he carried her up the hill, it became obvious she had amnesia, unable to remember her name or any details of her mishap. Luckily her ID was in her fanny pack. Her name was Emmy White.
Boomer said he would take her back to town, but she panicked and yelled “No!” even though she didn’t know why. Emmy is actually on the run from her vicious ex-husband who wants to find her merely for revenge. She is very much in danger from him. But she is attracted to the kind and steady Boomer who has been supportive since the moment she met him. Even Boomer has secrets though. Will Emmy survive her ex-husband’s relentless pursuit to harm her? Will Boomer tell her the truth of his shifter nature and allow her to decide her future? Or will he be afraid to introduce her into his very different world? The decisions they make will definitely affect their lives! Should she run – or should she stay where fate meant her to be, with someone who would love her forever?
*** Reviewing “BOOK 5 - TO REDEEM A BEAR” ***
Anais sat in her car on the dark road, waiting for her prey. She needed money to save her brother, and Richard Stone told her he would pay her to kill a bear for him. This particular bear was a “made bear” and not born a shifter, so he had always had a difficult time keeping the bear subdued. Finally a car pulled up behind hers and a man walked up to her window. She caught his scent and her body reacted to it. He smiled at her and her stomach clenched. This must just be nerves since she had never done something like this before. He asked if she had car trouble, and pretending to be clueless she told him her tire light came on. She watched as Orion went to her trunk to get the spare and the jack. But when he bent down and saw the tear in the tire, he knew this was a setup. With the problem he was having controlling his bear, he figured one of his friends had arranged for him to be mercy-killed. He decided to have some fun before she killed him. He popped up beside her and startled her. He saw the gun she intended to kill him with and, from the tingle when he slipped it in his belt, he knew the bullets were silver. So she obviously knew he was a shifter.
As the assignment goes longer than Anais hoped, with Orion knowing the entire time what she is up to and having fun with it, she realizes she really doesn’t want to kill him. But her brother’s life is at stake and she needs that money. What will she do? And especially what will they do when they find out they are actually mates?
I love all of these stories and this was likewise enjoyable. Great characters, great story line, and humor so the reader cares about the characters who start to seem more real. Grab your collection here and enjoy the search for a HEA with an alpha bear.

To Love a Bear:
Emmy doesn't remember anything more than her name, thanks to her I.D. she was carrying. Boomer knows that most of the time, humans cannot handle a bear. He's keeping a secret, she doesn't remember her past. Will Emmy remember her past? Will Boomer be able to keep her safe?
I love books like this where you have these big tough bears, but yet when it comes to woman they are soft. Emmy showed how strong she was time and again and I loved how she fought for her freedom from her past. Loved how gentle Boomer was with her and his determination to protect her from everything. Great read!
To Save a Bear: Addison struggles with her past and where she wants her future to go. Reid is struggling with his bear and thinks he isn't good enough for a mate. Both are keeping secrets, but cannot help their feelings. Will Addison be able to get Reid to open up? Will Reid find the hunter before it is to late?
Loved reading Reid story after meeting him in the last book. I didn't blame Addison for being scared, but I thought she was a lot stronger than she gave herself credit for. I loved how Reid wanted to protect those around him and that he made the right choice in the end. Great read!
To Trust a Bear: Callie was always told that to keep Bear Shifters safe they needed to remain in The Den. Morgan has thought for years that he would live out his life alone after his mate pushed him away. Callie's world is about to be turned upside down. Will Callie realize the truth? Will Morgan be able to keep his mate and friends safe?
Was definitely excited to see another Lumberjack Bears book. I couldn't really blame the way Callie thought because of how she was raised, but was so proud when she put her foot down and stood up for herself and others. I loved how Morgan was determined to do what was best for Callie and wasn't willing to give up on love. Great read!
To Tame a Bear: Ever since the attack by The Den, Dom has struggled with containing his beast. Aimee hasn't ever really had a place that she fit in. Drawn together, he thinks he is to broken. Will Aimee be able to break through Dom's walls? Will Dom realize what is in front of him before it is to late?
Loved seeing these two together. While there were times throughout the story that I wanted to smack Dom upside the head, I understood that in his own way he was trying to protect her. I loved Aimee's determination where others probably would have given up. Great read!
To Redeem a Bear: Orion knows that his future is short. Anais is desperate do to what she can to save her brother. They should be enemies, but fate has other plans. Will Anais accept what is between them? Will Orion accept that he isn't a lost cause?
I absolutely loved getting Orion's book after reading about him in the previous ones. I loved how despite his struggles, Orion was protective and sweet towards Anais. I didn't blame Anais for her thinking, but loved seeing her slowly open up and accept the others and what she could have. Great read, cannot wait for more from this author.

I received this boxset for Free to Give My True & Honest Review.
Each book were great in themselves with strong women & the Male Bear Shifters 🐻 🐻❄ are nearly at the end of their 'Human'self, especially the dramatically changed Orion who we hear more in his own book To Redeem The Bear. Book 5
Book 1 To Love A Bear is Theodore Parker 'Boomer' & Nurse Emmy White, whom he notices her unconscious where they're lumbering in the woods. So it's Emmy's life she was leaving behind comes banging into their lives.
Book 2 To Save a Bear. Is Reid Bronson's story. And how he first saw his mate. Addison Stravinsky who'd been the bank cashier when all of a sudden a bank robber came to her window & that was when Reid stepped in to help & that's when she decided to move on with her life & do what she's always wanted to do & saw a rental towards the woods & that's when she meets Reid again & his head IS in 2 parts as his Bear is calling her 'Mate'
Book 3 To Trust S Bear. Here it's Morgan Monroe & is really the reason why these 5 bears where working as lumberjacks & away from their so called family Den back in Alaska after the love of his life Callisto Stone 'Callie' to leave the Den, for reasons he does not know & then she's been sent by the head of the Den Her Father Richard Stone to try & bring the new Shifters, especially the pregnant one & she brings her best mate Otter Shifter Aimee.
And this is when Morgan finds out the reason & She finds out the truth & then sees who her father REALLY is...
Book 4 To Tame A Bear is Dominic 'Dom's story & Aimee's after the forhall of the situation with Richard & his army of men..
Book 5 Redeem The Bear Orion's story & the made female shifter Anaïs whose been living in the Den & whom Richard offered her a sum of money to help save her brother from a loan shark.
That 1 deal is to kill Orion with the silver bullet, but things don't go to the plan she had put in place or ANY OTHER tries. The longer she stays with Orion & sees him & then hear's her Bear.
Another disappointment for Richard, but not for the Emmy group of Lumberjacks & Their Mates.
The 1 little thing I DIDN'T like is them calling their bears 'Beasts' as they could've been called 'Innerself'

Book 1 - To Love a Bear
I loved this twist on a theme! The amnesia and the lumberjacks - quite a combination. Then throw in an ex who is psychotic and you have the makings of a really great story!
Book 2 -To Save a Bear
I loved this! In a lot of respects it was similar to the first book but for all that Reid and Addison have their own story! it has enough adventure, drama and romance to satisfy most tastes and I look forward to the next story on the series
This was well written and the characters are good, if a little pathetic on occasion but that is what makes the story so good! The characters are NOT perfect
Book 3 - To Trust a Bear
This is Morgan and Callie's story and it is great! way more intense than the previous 2 but just as good! The action is dramatic and the romance hot and a lot of angst thrown in!
The Den tries to interfere in the lives of the lumberjacks and the new bears by sending Callie to do their bidding but she finds a loving family and her lost love! This ensures that sparks fly and the drama flows.
Book 4 - To Tame a Bear
This one continues from where "To Trust a Bear" left off and builds the story of Aimee and Dom. They both have issues but will not talk to each other! Dom thinks he is doing the right thing for Aimee and is, in his mind, a broken man! This leads to misunderstanding and potential disaster! Add to this, the Den still trying to ride roughshod and you have the makings of an interesting tale! This delivers all of that and more
Book 5 - To Redeem a Bear
Who needs redemption? As far as I could tell, both Anais and Orion needed redemption, at least according to themselves! Over all a good story with Anais sent to kill Orion by Richard to try and solve her personal financial issues! this leads to some humour, drama and action. Both shifters have issues due to being changed as adults but are dealing with those in some form or another but according to Richard, Orion needs to die.
Overall a good continuation of the series and well written as is usual from this author! The characters are well developed and the story flows well

A great box set.
To Love a Bear: This is a lovely tale of. Heartache loss love and finding yourself. The story is well written with plenty of twists and turns. The plot kept me engaged and wishing the best for these characters. They did get the happy ending I wanted. Emmy is a nervous character and has every right to be. Boomer a wild wood man that looks and acts the part. They are however a perfect match.
To Save a Bear: This is a lovely book of overcoming hardships. The feeling and depth to the characters is wonderful. I really felt how they were coping. Addison is a shadow of herself. Living in fear of everything. Reid is losing his humanity and is reckless to keep hold of himself. When Reid puts himself in danger yet again to protect Addison. Addison makes a snap discussion that will change and save her life.
To Trust a Bear: The plot is full and detailed. The characters are fun and engaging. I enjoyed their interactions and there is plenty of pain and conflict to keep the pace flowing. Callie learns a lot about herself in a very short period and finds herself at odds with everything she knew. Morgan is not the man she thought he was and now needs to come to terms with her new reality and hopefully family.
To Tame a Bear: Aimee is a great character full of life and desperate for love. Dom is broken, his bear fighting to survive. They are perfect match, but Dom won't see it. This book is written with care and feeling for the characters. The detail is excellent and the character development has depth and understanding. Aimee and Dom's story is well told and had me hooked from the first chapter. The underlying story arc also progresses and complements the main tale.
To Redeem a Bear: Anais is a complex character. Sent to act on Richards demons, she is thrown into a world which does not match what she had been told. However her hands are tied and there is a lot more going on controlling her actions. The story is fresh and fits into the overall story arc. Previous characters appear and tie it all together. Though they don't appear as much as in other books.

Living in fear of everything. Reid is losing his humanity and is reckless to keep hold of himself. When Reid puts himself in danger yet again to protect Addison. Addison makes a snap discussion that will change and save her life.
To Trust a Bear: The plot is full and detailed. The characters are fun and engaging. I enjoyed their interactions and there is plenty of pain and conflict to keep the pace flowing. Callie learns a lot about herself in a very short period and finds herself at odds with everything she knew. Morgan is not the man she thought he was and now needs to come to terms with her new reality and hopefully family.
To Tame a Bear: Aimee is a great character full of life and desperate for love. Dom is broken, his bear fighting to survive. They are perfect match, but Dom won't see it. This book is written with care and feeling for the characters. The detail is excellent and the character development has depth and understanding. Aimee and Dom's story is well told and had me hooked from the first chapter. The underlying story arc also progresses and complements the main tale.
To Redeem a Bear: Anais is a complex character. Sent to act on Richards demons, she is thrown into a world which does not match what she had been told. However her hands are tied and there is a lot more going on controlling her actions. The story is fresh and fits into the overall story arc. Previous characters appear and tie it all together. Though they don't appear as much as in other books.

Shifter romance with a twist of thriller (ish)
No plot spoilers
No potential triggers
There are quite a few editorial errors, and countless words missing (the, and, etc) there are also some truly weird tense errors that jolt the reading experience.
That said, I read the whole book, the errors became worse in the last instalment, as if the author rushed the book and it wasn't properly edited.
The plotline is fairly okay if not at times predictable. The level of angst in every story irritated after a while, mostly because the angst was about the same concerns in each case.
The balance between show and tell is out of whack in most of the book with too much emphasis on tell. The storyline continues with each instalment but being honest, it felt too contrived as a plot device and the characters never satisfactorily addressed the outstanding issue. So, basically the thriller element didn't really materialise.
The characterisation is okay, but I really didn't care who lived or died.
There are some sex scenes and some swearing.
I don't think I will purchase any further books by the author but in all fairness to readers of the genre the book does deliver the promised content in the blurb.

Five sexy lumberjack bear shifters finally find their mates
This box set of the Lumberjack Bears series books is a wonderful reading experience. The books are - To Love a Bear, To Save a Bear, To Trust a Bear, To Tame a Bear and To Redeem a Bear. Each of the books can be read as a stand-alone as each centers on a different couple but the characters do cross over among the books. The five handsome, sex-on-a-stick and totally possessive and protective Alpha bear shifters work as lumberjacks clearing trees on the mountainside. Each of the men encounter their mate in different ways and the couples must deal with and overcome hurdles that are in their way. But once they do then they each get their loving HEA and get to curl up and hibernate making lots of little cubs together.
As with all box sets there was one book that was my least favorite, a couple that I really liked and the two that I fell in love with. But overall I really liked this collection and would recommend it to other readers.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

WOW PLEASE I NEED TO FIND ME A BEAR SHIFTER
This is a fantastic collection of shifter books.
There are 5 books one for each bear who never thought they would find their mate but you just never know whats around the corner. Fate is a wonderful thing.
Each charaters has his own strengths and weaknesses. Especially the fight they have with their bears who know what they want and they want it now!! But the men see things so differently, they see the struggles that they go through every day. This men work hard but they fight even harder but things start to change when Boomer finds his mate. Its like Emmy is what they needed to make them a family of sorts.
This is a feel good series that you just wont put down so grab a cuppa. You will smile, you will get angry , you will get hot under the collar and you will swoon at their love. This is a brilliant collection that I have really really enjoyed. I look forward to more books like this from the amazing Emilia Hartley

I enjoyed reading these stories. Discovered part way through that I had previously read the last one. Read it anyway, had to round out the storyline and finish them all. There were some similarities in the stories, of course they are a series about the same group... "family" of bears. There is action, adventure, a little mystery, romance, humour, intrigue and villains and heroes. Several times I caught myself reading long into the night just to find out what happens and how they work things out. Loveable characters, believable situations, world building with great visual description. These stories are serious enough to keep you interested but not so serious that you're stressed out. Fun twists, lightly written, true mates (my fav), thoroughly enjoyable to read. If you like true mates, bear shifters, and engaging stories, these are for you.

Lumberjack Bears by Emilia Hartley is an exciting adventure filled collection of five different books that each feature a different unique meeting between a bear shifter and his fated mate. This series features a group of five bear shifters who work together as a crew of lumberjacks who clear land for future construction. These men work together to support one another and form the basis for the five stories in this series. This series collection includes the following books: To Love a Bear, To Save a Bear, To Trust a Bear, To Tame a Bear, and To Redeem a Bear and is a wonderful five book series that builds from the first book to the last. This series is an exhilarating read that made me laugh, cry, and gasp in surprise as I read this unforgettable series.

This was a really good series following a set of bear shifters who move around working as lumberjacks. They are a rag tag bunch that have formed their own "family". The story follows the group as each bear meets his mate. Each character is quite different and each has their own burdens and insecurities to manage. There is lots of action, twists and turns, romance, humour and love. It was great to see how each additional person whether a mate or a close friend that joined the group was assimilated and made them a stronger unit. I read each book as they were released but it is so much better to have them in a set so you don't have to wait for the next one to come out and can just carry on reading. A very good set of books I enjoyed reading again!

Lumberjack Bears
Emilia Hartley. 5 Stars*****
Loving these Bears... Oh Yeah
If your ready for some really great bear shifter stories than look no further than this set of books. You'll be hooked from the first story.
A bunch of misfit men , each one different from each other but all worried that their inner bear is dangerous. Some to themselves and some to others. And it's all because of "The Den" and it's crazy leader Richard. Thank goodness for the women who come into their lives, lol.
Each story is different yet all blend together to tell the tale of Love, diversity, danger, courage and fated mates. I Loved all of them and recommend this box set for hours of reading enjoyment.
I have voluntarily read and am voluntarily reviewing an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. Reviewer for Nook Books and More Blog.

February 4, 2020This was a fun-filled romp through the woods with a sleuth of bears. All of them or on the edge of control and trying to maintain their sanity while working to survive. Then along come females that calms their bears but brings in all sorts of issues. Humans and bear shifters are a no-no, according to how they were all raised. There's Boomer, who is in a category all of his own. Reid, Morgan, Dominick and finally Orion. These bears are so hunky but clueless. I was so frustrated with them all because they were so busy being alpha they couldn't recognize the forest for the trees. But, it was an entertaining read and you will find yourself quickly rooting for the guys in each story.

February 6, 2020A five book boxed set, telling the story of a group of shifters, who have trouble with the total control their Den alpha is asking for. To protect themselves and their cubs from the alpha, they separate, but Richard, the alpha, sends out killers to punish them for their disobedience.
The story of a band of five young men, who support each other in everything, fight for what they have and for their mates.
A wonderful set of stories, that I had read a few years ago, and gladly re-read for this boxed set.
They still held the same charm they held over me the fist time, and it was great to read one story after another, like a movie marathon of a series.

The story of a band of five young men, who support each other in everything, fight for what they have and for their mates.
A wonderful set of stories, that I had read a few years ago, and gladly re-read for this boxed set.

Lumberjack Bears.This collection of books were interesting . I enjoyed them. We read about a group of bear shifters that are Lumberjacks minding their own business. None of them wanted to be bothered by humans, but some how they get mixed up with human women that take their breath away or they are in danger and one of the shifters must come to their rescue. The adventures and struggles are captivating to read. This is a great read!

This is an excellent collection of books. Although each book is individual the characters continue through all the books. The stories and characters are all well developed. I really enjoyed the characters individual personalities and their dynamics with each other. I loved each individual story and each had a mix of action, suspense, emotion, intrigue, hot chemistry and romance. I’d highly recommend this book collection!!
