Hers To Bear By CD Gorri is a wonderful addition to her Barvale Clan series. Maisey and Arthur get reacquainted quickly when she returns to town. I wonder how they dealt with Lorna, as Maisey certainly is not crazy! Go Fang Yourself by Billie Dale is a fun, slightly dangerous, snarky, coming into their power story. I really like all the characters. Nicole and Ranissa become part of am eclectric group of supernatural friends at college. I especially love the bit of mythology thrown in. I look forward to more of their adventures.

“A Cursed All Hallows’ Eve” is an interesting compilation edited & coordinated by Gina Kincade, which offers over twenty stories specially tailored to this season, when the veil between realms is at its thinnest, All Hallows’ Eve, what common people call Halloween and less common still know by its all pagan name Oíche Samhna. The Box Set offers stories by various authors, each one them with a very distinct style, with a single theme in common: Halloween curses. A great lecture for this time in the year. The book features all typical supernaturals: vampires, shifters, demons, ghosts, witches, fae… you name it. With a great variety of stories, both in length and content and level of maturity and almost 2.300 pages, the chances to find a new favorite author are high.

There are stories from barely three chapters long as “Dark Angel” by L.A Ginnis and “All Hallows Academy: Thirteen Day of Halloween” by Majanka Verstræte; to over thirty like “About in the Cards” by Ariel Dawn. The stories are marked with a ‘flame’ level for maturity reaching from ‘One Flame’ (an absolutely clean story) to ‘five flames’ (a very mature level, that centers in the physical aspect of the relationship, including multiple partners, and very adult content and situations).

As compilations come, this is a good one, and offers a wide choice of stories and authors, while some of the stories are very candid, the inclusion on several 4/5 stories, the book aims exclusively to mature audiences. That being said there is something there for everyone, and it makes it easy to sample a great number of authors before committing to a series.

“Spell of Snow” by S.J. Pierce is a relatively short story included in the box and a most compelling one. A gripping story, about freedom and bigotry, and the power of redemption. Very well written, captivating and with some unexpected and very welcomed twists, this is exactly the kind of story you would like to read, sitting by the fire on a Samhain night.

Pierce’s protagonist Rosanna Frey (Rosie), a sixteen-year-old girl living in Ipswich, Massachusetts in at time in which merely being a woman could get you killed anyway, as the crazy around the existence of witches took over the collective mind. However, Rosanna has a major problem, she has magical powers of her own, she is in fact witch. Fully aware of the fate ahead, Rosanna has been extremely careful, for over six years now, since the time she discovered she could make flowers bloom, until the fateful day she got caught by her best friend.

Their Dragon Mate by Elle Boon

This is the only story I've read and I will read the others when the time comes. Fans of Ms. Boon have been begging for Lula's story and now we get it. The little pink Dragon finally gets her mates in twin bear shifters, Atika and Abyle. It's going to be a wild ride and of course there is danger coming. That's where we get to see Kellen, Creed, Jenna and a host of others from Ms. Boon's Mystic Wolves and Iron Wolves. I love these characters so much. They're fun, they're hot and those women keep their mates on their toes, but can they all save Lula from the other Dragons who want to destroy her and her mother? Well, you're just gonna have to pick up this collection and find out for yourselves!

Their Dragon Mate by Elle Boon

This is the first book I have read in this collection. I've been waiting for Lula's story and it didn't disappoint. Lula has been a fixture in many books but this one is all about her getting her happily ever after. There hasn't been much in the other books about Lula's background so it was fun to find out how her mom and she came into this world and the struggles they have had to overcome.

It was also fun to watch her meet and run from her two bear mates and have to deal with all of that. This was very much in character for her and it was fun to watch her come to the realization that she wants this and them. Atika and Abyle are perfect mates for Lula and it shows.

Their Dragon Mate

Bowchicawowow - typical hilarity with this short story of Lula and Abyle and Atika, bears and a dragon that are to be mated. Although Lula does make a run for it as she is overwhelmed. This initiates Abyle and Atika showing up at the Iron Wolves clubhouse where a pissing match occurs with all kinds of shifters. Don't forget Creed, now he adds an extra layer of comical. Totally swoon worthy "The secret behind every good male is a female." Well said.

Loved it.

I started with Their Dragon Mate by Elle Boon as I'm a fan of hers. This book was based in part in the author's Iron Wolves world, and it was exciting to hear from some old friends. Lula, the dragon everyone loves, finally found her mates. This book takes us on her journey of finding out more about her family, and helps her decide if she will accept her mates. I cant wait to read the rest of the books in this collection.

this review is for Elle Boon's Their Dragon Mate.

I love this look we finally get of Lula and Belle's past. We learn more about Lula's dad and how it was when Belle and him were together. I love Lula and her bearies as she puts it. I love that they have a secret too. I can't wait to see how Belle and her man come to grips with what happened and hopefully move forward!

Sighs Matters by Lulu M Sylvian

Great short read.
There is a lot of action packed into this short read, but the flow is amazing and I didn’t feel like it was rushed to get to the end.
Looking forward to more from this author.

Their Dragon Mate (Iron Wolved MC) by Elle Boone

Lula is my favorite dragon. I love her sass and dedication to the Iron Wolves.
Lula is sure she is destined to be alone forever, until she pops in to the wrong place at the right time. Not only does she find her destined mate but Damn there are TWO. Twin bears, bearies as she calls them, and Kellan has nothing on them.
I love Lula's story and can't wait for more. We get to see all the Iron Wolves and their mates and babies, as well as our beloved Fay queen and her mates and babies, and the infamous Creed and his mate.
Looking forward to our next Iron Wolves adventure.

This review is for Elle Boon's THEIR DRAGON MATE

Their Dragon Mate is a cute, lighthearted story. A dragon and two bears? Who would have thought it? Only the illustrious Elle Boon.

Elle knows how to keep things light and fun or deep and dark depending on what the story calls for. In Their Dragon Mate we had fun and we had deep. There really was no dark called for in this story. I loved the back-story and enjoyed how everyone came together in the end. The story moved and everything happened quickly including the love that we all look forward to in Elle’s story. You know that there will always be a happily-ever-after and some titillating sex scenes to bring you there. I enjoyed the little twist and hope that we see more of that dark dragon in the future.

I can always count on Elle Boon to put a smile on my face. The dialogue that she uses is sometimes a little bit out there but it works with her characters. He males are all alpha and her females know how to handle them. Not one of them is weak or softhearted. They can give as good as they get and I love that she gives us that in every story that she writes.

Their Dragon Mate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
by Elle Boon
A journey I've been waiting on for-evah, well, maybe, so it seemed. It was all that, and with a cherry on top to boot. Dragons and Bearies oh my! Loved the comedic relief bits, the witticisms thrown in what is some serious storyline and so dang good.
While this is a shifter journey, it actually runs like human realities, but with magic.
Lula, a gorgeous pink dragon, is like the Fae Queen, Jenna's right-hand dragoon, BFF, enforcer of goodness in the Fey World, and by extension, a mariad of shifters on Earth. She's young, but her inner dragon made its debut when she met up with the bear shifter twins, Atika and Abyle. What does Lula do? Why, she runs like a little beotch LOL. Not her style at all, she just never thought she'd ever be mated. She may be older than her mates, but certainly not wiser in the way of the birds and the bees. When the Bearies finally catch up with her, she had already kick-started a whole slew of coming inevitables. The Bearies needed to fully bond with her and boy howdy was it hawt, and oh so delicious!
Now, it was time to gather the troops and go to war. This was reunion arena with Jenna and her Wolpires, Kellen and his pack, the ahmazing Creed hehe and his trusty Sabre, clothed of course.
Who are they meeting? Well, now, that would be a spoiler if I told ya.
No cliffies here, just a few Bearies and an HEA with a little somethin' extra.
Lula's Mother, Belle, has a very interesting backstory to hopefully be revealed around Christmas, and I can't wait to read that as well.

I just love Lula! She's a dragon shifter, a smart aleck and as bad as they come. 
Then there's Abyle and Atika. They're are twin bear shifters that have their sights set on Lula but, they have to find her first. Lula has a great sense of humor and her "bearies" are as protective and possessive as they come.  Their story is just what's needed for a sexy, quick afternoon read.

Lula is a gorgeous pink dragon. When she meets her mates she gets out of Dodge. Her bearies aren’t about to let her go. However she finds out a few things about her and her mother. Yet she has friends in low and high places that will protect her. Will Lula and Belle be safe? Will her bearies be able to keep her safe and what they are? I love this book!

This review is for Elle Boon’s story Their Dragon Mate
I loved this one. It is a quick and fun read. We also get to see all of our beloved characters from Creed,Kellen, Jenna and her Wolfpires. It’s a crazy ride between Atika, Abyle and Lula. I’m do glad Lula got her story and with two bears no less. So what’s a pink dragon to do but to enjoy the ride.

This is a collection by multiple authors of 20+ short stories that are built around the theme of Halloween, with everything from dark gods to brooding shifters. My favorite quote: “Answer the call, because this Halloween, not all the costumes are disguises.”

Jump into the season, warm up those goosebumps, and start reading! With the variety offered, all sorts of combinations, you should easily find some stories you can enjoy and even add to your “To Be Read Again” pile! That’s the beauty of a collection like this where you can jump from story to story and pick and choose what draws your attention -- a “customized experience”!

If it is a collection, anthology or box set I am always buying them or grabbing them on KU and hoping that I find new authors to read! This collection was grabbed in KU because it had books that were written by authors that I definitely wanted to read as well as a few stories that I wanted to read just from this set! A set of amazing stories written by some amazing authors and once you pick this up you will not want to put this down!

I am almost finished with Elle Boon' s THEIR DRAGON'S MATE. I have enjoyed reading about Lula's adventures with the Fae Queen and her Iron Wolves. In each book Lula has such a big heart that when she loves hard and her friends are in desperate need. LULA gives a little piece of herself to help heal them. That is a true and loving friend.
In Their Dragon's Mate, LULA has met her match..( sort of) with not one.. but two BIG BEARS! OH MY!!! And most definitely... DO NOT MAKE A LADY DRAGON ANGRY, not even a little bit. They tend to exhale fire when they get a little testy. Am almost finished with it and don't want it to end! It's wonderful... Can't wait for Elle to write the mama's book with the big scary black dragon. Ellen's books are so much fun to read. Sort of like a really good cookie. You can't settle for just one! I received a copy of Their Dragon Mate for my honest opinion.
I definitely recommend Elle's books. But don't take my word for it though. Read them.. you won't be disappointed.

I love anthologies for meeting new authors, and for visiting with old favorites. Add in this a Halloween anthology, and I'm saying who hoo!!

So far I have only read Their Dragon Mate by Elle Boon. This story was so good. I've loved LuLa the Dragon since she was first introduced in Boon's Iron Wolves series. She's sweet and sassy and funny and has found her mate...uhhh...mates...plural...twin bears!! Oh my!! Abyle and Attika are perfect for their little pink dragon....just as she's perfect for them. There's danger, sassiness, and lots of steam. Plus, we also get a little more background info about LuLa and her mom, Belle.

Quite a few characters from different series (Iron Wolves, Mystic Wolves, etc) appear in different parts of this book. I don't think it's necessary to read the other books before reading this one...but you can for maximum enjoyment. Because they're so good!

Their Dragon Mate by Elle Boon
Hilarity from the very first page! Lula FINALLY gets her HEA and she gets it with twin grizzly bear shifters Abyle and Atika! In typical Lula fashion the pink haired highly opinionated sassy dragon meets her truemates and runs for the hills! With every story from Elle Boon, this is tied to her Mystic Wolves MC series and of course The Iron Wolves MC series. We learn more about Lula and her heritage along with Mama Belle but the best part is reconnecting with some old friends from both series'. Creed was a treat and Laugh Out Loud funny, some of the best lines came from him alone. Jenna, the Fey Queen is back along with her twins and her mates. Can't wait for Belle, Lula's mama to get her HEA and find out more about Lula and her twin bearies!

This a a review for Their Dragon Mate in this box set. We find ourselves getting to know more about Lula and her mates in this book. Lula is a pink dragon who is bada**. Atika and Abyle are bear shifting twins who just lost their slippery little mate. Lula pulls a disappearing act when she sees her mates, she never thought she’d get a mate let alone two. When she finally gets her head on straight and goes back for her mates the damages done and there’s a big nasty on her tail. Can they stand together as one and defeat the ones who would kill her just for being different? They will need all the help of all the packs to protect Lula and her mates. I freaking loved this book.

Lula finally gets her story. What would anyone do when you get overwhelmed by finding out that twin grizzly bear shifters that claim that you’re their mate? You panic and poof out (run). Thus, the chase begins.

With-in this story, you learn Belle’s (Lula’s mother) story, you meet Lula’s dad, you get to visit with the Iron Wolves and the Mystic Wolves group, who get to help Atika and Abyle (the bearies) save Lula from the other dragons, and a great story.

You just need to pick up this anthology to read this story, so totally worth it. To enjoy all the fun, laughter, mischief, and magic that these authors have pulled together

This was a long awaited one for me, loved the story of Lula and her bearies, fast paced with some unexpected turns, a great read which keeps you entranced from the first page.
Love the fact that characters from pervious books/series are included in this especially the Mystic Wolves (my personal favorites)
I love, love, loved it and this one story alone would be worth the purchase price

Hers to Bear by C.D. Gorri
Maisy's return to Barvale was not what she expected. When she let after high school, she thought her feelings for Arthur were behind her. She quickly finds out just how wrong she was. Arthur has always had a thing for Maisy. He finally gets his chance and he is not going to pass it up. A quick, steamy read. I received an advanced copy and tis is my honest opinion.

She finds her mate in the one man she had a crush on all those years ago and he finds his salvation in her returning back home to help her father during an illness. What a lovely story that tells you can go back home again and it can be better than you remember.

I am still reading the other stories but I loved CD Gorri`s story and this collection is worth the read.
