Not a bad read , quite enjoyable and entertaining
Good chemistry and characters that gelled well.
I found some of it slow and lacked some connection from the storyline.
ie POSSIBLE PLOT DROP
The dropping of the police with the death.
In all it was an ok read and I’ll read more from the author.

Hace años que no leía un libro donde los protagonistas son shapeshifters, me entretuvo, y pude sonrojarme como la protagonista.
Un libro rápido de leer, aunque el final fue muy apresurado, y creo que pudo extender un poco más la historia para tener un final más bueno.
Tiene la dosis perfecta de erotismo si te gustan los tríos. :P

Bearly Familiar is the title of Lilly Wilder’s newest steamy MFM Menage book. It’s a full length, shifter, romantic suspense novel filled with action, great characters, drama and a happily ever after. There are no cliffhangers.
Rene Olsen has been hired as a nanny for Hyde McGallan’s five year old son, Carter. The chemistry between them is intense but neither are willing to risk the delicate balance they’ve established. When Jesse, Hyde’s best friend, enters the scene the attraction Rene feels for him is equally as intense as her attraction for Hyde. But everything comes to ahead when a presence from Hyde’s past comes hunting for Carter, and the threesome must work together to protect their future and those they love.
Another great story. This book is written in first person from the point of view of the heroine, and Wilder does a great job writing in this style. I look forward to reading her next book.

A nanny, two hot bear shifters, steam in a threesome, danger and other worldly stories are all part of this book. Rene blossomed during the book and became stronger as the story moved along. Her dealings with her mom who was suffering from dementia were touching and also saddened me. Dealing with dementia is definitely hard on family members.
I liked Hyde. He was a bit reserved but opened up more once the first time Parker and Rene were in danger. Jesse also changed throughout the book. He was a bit of a playboy and although his lighter personality remained, he did show his more serious side.
I adored Parker. He was a sweet, inquisitive little boy that made me smile. The main characters together were perfect. That said, the writing style was not my favorite and I hope that since what I read was an advance copy, it will be edited more to remove the many errors I came across.

Shifters and sweet, unconventional love
Bearly Familiar by Lily Wilder is an interesting single POV paranormal reverse harem romance. These characters are all interesting and intriguing in their own ways. Rene is a true sweetheart who meets two very unique bear shifters; Hyde is serious, calm and a little bit demanding while Jesse is the wild one, yet supportive and all in with the relationship as it begins and continues to develop.
The plot is very engaging and multifaceted. Little do they know how closely related the antagonist to all of them. The little revelations as the story progresses keeps the reader fully engaged and anticipating what comes next.
Overall, an enjoyable read with wonderful characters that find their HEA after fearing it may never come to be.
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.

Rene is a nanny and she's going to interview for a new position. Hyde needs someone to look after his son and when he sees Rene he knows she's the one he wants. When Rene has to watch Parker while Hyde works out of town she meets Hyde's best friend Jesse. Rene starts to feel uncomfortable because she's attracted to both Hyde and Jesse and doesn't know what to do. Its not long before Rene is exposed to the full force of Hyde's and Jesse's lives. Will Rene stay with them once everything settles? Can they make a relationship work?
This is an amazing story that will draw you in from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I really enjoyed this book. Loved the characters and their connection. It was hot and full of action. Loved the history that was told and the "small world" feel of it. Hyde, Jesse, and Rene definitely have a great connection. I also loved little Parker too.
My takeaway with this book was the ending. I feel like it needed a few more chapters. A chapter of the 3 of them together. A chapter back in the states adjusting with Parker. And a chapter of them in the future.

Running from the past
I went into this story expecting a simple "shifter falls for the nanny" story-line. What I got was a lot more. Past dangers resurfacing, unexpected connections and one precious little boy to name a few. I was also struck by Rene's thoughts when she found out Hyde and Jesse's secret......"what you see depends mainly on what you look for". How true is that? How often to we overlook or dismiss something simply by not looking for it. Overall, I enjoyed this story. I would also like to see Rene's friend Alice get a HEA also.

A Rather Different Paranormal Romance
For me, this book gives rise to a different set of emotions than those I usually feel when reading a paranormal romance. Even though this story is about a manage relationship, the story seems old fashioned. The characters are somewhat reserved unless they are in bed together. The bear shifters prefer not to shift. The villain's actions seem evil, but not really.

I Did Not Like
This was all over the place. It definitely needed a editor but even that would not have helped it for me. I love fiction but I want it to keep me engaged and to make me feel like it is all real life, that the world and characters are possible. This did not do that. This was so passive, kind of monologue feeling. I could not read it after first few chapters and just skipped to ending, to see how it at least ended, and for me even that was flat.

Steamy Paranormal Romantic Suspense!
I loved this book! I could hardly put it down. This story has some smoking hot bear shifters. A gorgeous adventurous girl. A very cute and precocious boy. A twisted, crazy villain. A mysticalmultigenerational story of Magic coins. Oh, and lots of MFM loving. 😁 Ms. Wilder keeps coming up with new and interesting stories to satisfy me.

This is a complex story with lots of twists Anne turns. There is a nanny, two bear shifters, an ex wife, a bad guy and a kidnapping. I really enjoyed Rene’s character, and Hyde and Jesse are great too. Just don’t start this book before bedtime, because you will just want ‘one more chapter’ and get no sleep at all. Great imaginative paranormal romance with a mystery thrown in.

Bearly Familiar
A story with a twist, a punchline, some loving mixed with a little insecurity. Quite well written and somewhat involving. There are several plot twists along the way. A reasonably strong reader should be able to complete the whole story at one sitting, assuming they can read it in around three hours.

Easy read, some deeper issues hinted at but nothing in detail or triggering (clan history, prior cheating). Parker, the son, steals the show a little, as although only in it a bit he is adorable.
Wish the led female had a bit more about her, but liked Jesse and Hyde.
Only 3 stars as i've read othe books by Wilder and this felt somehow less than normal for her.

This books starts slowly and builds to a thrilling conclusion, Rene starts working as a nanny for Hyde, who comes across as very formal. She is attracted to Hyde and his best friend. Both very different men.
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by this author.

Attempted murder, an ex-wife, missing heirlooms, an abusive alpha, a kidnapping, and other interesting goings-on keep this threesome romance exciting.

Short but sweet
I liked this book very much, it had a lot of sex scenes. Though short and sweet it won't leave you wanting more. I feel like someparts still needed explaining but overall good.

This was a fast paced, suspenseful, and sultry story. Definitely a page turner. I kind of wished it was a little longer, and we got a little more from these fun characters. But overall, it was a good story, and I liked it.
October 13, 2020
Its an ok read I enjoyed the chemistry between the characters but the story just lacked something. It felt a little lacklustre and I think there were several parts that could have been made into much more than they were

Coins
Different people have left their homeland. To start new lives. They chose to stay off the radar in a way. Ruling wasn't what anyone wanted nor did anyone want found. Two coins and two people in love . One woman has the key. Its time to return them. Great story.
