Book 1: Fated Attraction A sexy bear shifter with a surfer attitude collides with a sassy, badass panther. They can’t be more different. But when the undeniable passion between these rivals blazes out of control, they can only fight fate for so long.
Book 2: Xander's Mate A single dad dragon knows that Summer belongs to him, but the free-spirited witch can’t fathom how things could ever work between them. But if two souls are truly destined to be together, can they overcome their differences enough to realize a love that knows no bounds?
Book 3: Fake Mate For The Soldier Lion Hudson and Leona will be posing as mates on a covert mission. The only problem? Each immediately recognizes the other as their one true match. And dating within the Force is strictly forbidden. Will honor and duty keep these big cats from realizing what’s written in the stars for them?
Book 4: Alex's Mate After her ex took off with her best friend, Roxy’s done with men. So why does her inner wolf practically go into heat whenever a certain ruggedly handsome bear shifter is near?

Book 6: Shared Mates No one thought a shared mate bond was possible. But the intense feelings both Max and Carson have for River—and the ones she has for them in return—have them thinking otherwise. How will these two competitive bears ever get along well enough to share a mate as they’re destined to?

This is a fun set of reads that feature different shifters, and different issues, but they all have fated mates. Adventure, action, mystery, danger and sizzling chemistry abound in these stand alone stories. All good fun and a great way to sample some of the author's different series!
I've previously read all of these as well as well as the complete series each of these books is from. They are all worth reading. Since I wrote reviews on all but one of these in the past, I have copied and pasted those reviews here. Fated Attraction - Werebears of the Everglades: Imagine you are a shifter and another shifter annoys the heck out of you but you can't get their scent out of your head. Britt is a panther shifter and Ezra is a bear shifter. They keep running into each other and Ezra's friends tell him she's his fated mate. Ezra is a laid back guy who enjoys living life to its fullest. Britt is a loner and mostly sticks to herself, hunting, skinning, and selling animals. While the two of them try to figure out what is going on between them, danger arises and must be dealt with if they are to find their HEA. This was a really fast read and it held my attention from start to finish. Ezra was a fun, California beach boy type and was cutely clueless at times which made me smile. Britt was a bit gruff at the start and having Ezra around smoothed out her edges. There were some steamy parts, some romance and an awww moment which made this an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. 4 Stars
Xander's Mate: This is a great addition to this series and can definitely be read as a standalone. I did read "Holden's Mate" prior to reading this but it isn't necessary. The guys all came from another planet with dragon eggs and they are raising the dragonlets once they have hatched. They are trying to learn Earth's ways as they search for the one woman in the universe that is meant for them. Xander is sweet, clueless to some extent, and just wants to connect with his destined mate. Summer is a witch and doesn't know what to think and feel. Norah, Xander's daughter is a sweetheart that you just want to hug. I adored all their characters and their story. I love this series and can't wait for the next book. 5 stars
Fake Mate For The Soldier Lion: Lioness Leona was injured while she was deployed as a Green Beret. She was discharged from the Army but wants to still be doing the job or something similar. She finds a secret shifter group that takes on secret missions for the government and meets Hudson when she shows up at their door. Sparks fly between the two of them but they both suppress their reaction to work together as they are sent on a mission as fake mates. I really enjoyed this book and how it dealt with the changes those in the military have to face when they come home and how difficult those changes can be. Leona was such a strong individual - mentally and physically. I loved her character. Hudson was great and a bit over protective as you would expect him to be. He loved his company, his job with the shifters and he loved Leona. What more could you ask for in a hero? 5 stars
Alex's Mate: Take one nerdy bear, throw in a motorcycle riding wolf, mix and watch the sparks fly. I LOVED the interactions between Alex and Roxy. He was all statistics and she was all about flying by the seat of her pants. She isn't close to her pack because of her ex and best friend running off together, wants to find a place to belong and a female MC seems to be an option for her. The events that transpire will test personal values, loyalties, protection of endangered species. Their HEA is sweet, cute and well deserved. If you haven't read the rest of the books in the series, do yourself a favor and do so.. 5 stars
Dragon's Royal Guard: I read the Daddy Dragon Guardians and this book is the first book about the children in that series. Kaylee is now all grown up and she is finishing up her studies to become an archaeologist. She has a gift of being able to translate and understand languages. If you've read the Daddy Dragon Guardian books you'll have the background and understanding as to Kaylee's heritage. When Kaylee and her father find the wizard that helped them come to Earth from Charok, together they perform a spell and open a portal to Charok. The portal pulls four dragons from Charok to Earth. It's interesting to learn about Earth through the newcomers eyes but this book is not as funny as the other ones were. Kaylee must decide what she wants out of life and where she belongs and Archard must decide what is right for him. The road will be bumpy and the journey is long but they will get a HEA. 5 stars
Shared Mates: Eagle shifter and park ranger, River, is still being bothered by her ex-boyfriend. She meets bear shifters Max and Carson who are rangers in a different part of the park than where she works and hits it off with both of them. They are extremely competitive and are always trying to one up each other and that doesn't sit well with River. They will have to work together to save what means the most to them and to get their HEA.

This collection contains six steamy fated mate shifter romances including: Fated Attraction, Xander's Mate, Fake Mate For The Soldier Lion, Alex's Mate, Dragon's Royal Guard, and Shared Mates. Below are reviews of two of the books to give you an idea of what you’ll find here.
*** Reviewing “FAKE MATE FOR THE SOLDIER LION” *** Hudson Taylor is kept really busy with the tasks of taking on tactical missions for his Special Ops Shifter Force (“SOS”) and running his communications company. Lioness shifter Leona Kirk, injured stepping on a landmine while she was a deployed Green Beret, is not the type to sit around and wonder what she is going to do with herself now that she has been honorably discharged. Restless and ready to put her talents to good use again, she is pointed in the direction of SOS, a secret shifter group who go out on difficult missions for the government. This type of work fits her perfectly! Even though Hudson and his team were not looking for a new member, Leona’s military past more than qualifies her and they hire her on.
Meeting Hudson up close, there is definite chemistry there with Leona. But with no fraternization allowed, they need to control their reactions to each other, especially when they take on a mission posing as fake mates. Will they be able to pull this off convincingly, especially with both recognizing that they really are fated mates! Will they successfully find and take down the bad guys?
*** Reviewing “ALEX'S MATE” *** Alex and Roxy are two shifters who are total opposites. Selected to work together in their ranger role to create a new trail through the park, they can’t stop bickering long enough to make any progress. Alex had already finished the bicycle trail plan which now had to be modified to include a motorcycle trail, accommodating Roxy’s preferences. Alex is a bear shifter and a nerd who follows rules to the letter. Roxy is a wolf-shifter whose break up with a cheating ex has left her less than thrilled with men. For excitement, she rides with a female biker group who likes to get into a bit of trouble, which is not a good idea for a ranger.
While Alex starts to feel an attraction for the rowdy wolf, Roxy is driven crazy by the rule-following bear whose number-crunching and statistics make no sense to her. Will the two of them pay attention to their shifter half and chance a relationship that might lead to a HEA? Or are they too different to agree on anything? When trouble comes, will it bring them together or tear them apart?
I enjoy this author’s books. The twists and turns keep things jumping. The characters are always well portrayed. Don’t miss what happens when secrets are revealed and danger erupts! So much going on! Enjoy these excellent books!

This is a decent collection. There are two stories that are related but not necessary to read the other. They take place in a variety of locations and involve different animal shifters. I enjoyed reading this book but some of the stories felt rushed, especially the last one. There is humor in some and an adorable little girl in the second one. There is also some social “commentary” about the environment, prejudice and a soldier’s return after an injury. None of it was preachy and in your face. You could easily read most of these and not even notice the issues. I’m not sorry I spent the time to read all of the collection.
I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
Forever Fated Mates is a series of six shifter books from six different series books written by Meg Ripley. I loved reading eat of these books. Each story is a love story about a shifter, bears, dragons, and eagle shifer. They have different jobs - some are park rangers, some are from another world and brought to Earth through magic. They are from all over the country and may even travel throughout this world or to other worlds. Each story takes a person through issues that we see in today's world of relationships. I thoroughly enjoyed reading each story and highly recommend the books. Thank you. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of the book.
This set contains six of Ms. Ripley's wonderful books. Each book is from a different series. If you haven't read one of these series before, I bet you will want to after finish this collection. "Fated Attraction" from the"Werebears of the Everglades" series and "Xander's Mate" from the "Daddy Dragon Guardians" series are included in this set. They are also two of my personal favorites from two of my all-time favorite series by Ms. Ripley. Enjoy....

Fated attraction – shifter nation: werebears of the Everglades Xander’s mate – Daddy dragon Guardians book 2 Fake Mate For The Soldier Lion – Shifter Nation: Special Ops Alex’s Mate – Shifter Nation: Werebears of Big Bend Dragon’s Royal Guard – Shifters Between Worlds Shared Mates – This is a wonderful variety of Meg Ripley’s books. Each book has everything you could want from a shifter story. These are like tasters of each series of books (whole book not samples) and if you haven’t read them, I strongly recommend them.
by Brenda L. I like the premise of mating forever. This box set tells the story of each set of characters who have a stake in the mating dance. The guys know their mates will be forever,, the girls don't always go along with the idea. Hard work ahead for them. The entertainment enjoyed is great. I recommend this set.

Just didn’t give me any reading pleasure. Love box sets usually but I only read the first book and that was it. Found Britt fairly aggressive, antagonist and not a heroine I liked. Ezra wasn’t much better. How had these two never met when Ezra has been working in the area for years and it seems to be a community where everyone knows everyone? Read in Kindle Unlimited.
Exciting read from one shifter story to the next one. I couldn’t put the book down. None of the stories connected to the others, but they were all so well written that it didn’t take away from the book as a whole.

Some of the stories I had read before and some I hadn't, with that said they were intriguing. I really enjoyed the first 4 but the last 2 I just had trouble getting into the story lines. All in all a good read.
