✭✭✭✭✭ "A super exciting, funny, thrilling, suspenseful and steamy shifter romance series. The characters jump right off the page!" ✭✭✭✭✭ "Absolutely Freaking Fantastic. I loved every single word of this story. It is so full of exciting twists that will keep you guessing until the very end of this book. I can't wait to see what might happen next in this series." A matchmaking agency for beasts, and the women tough enough to love them. From the author of Swipe Left For Love. Ragtown is a small former ghost town in the mountains, populated by outcast shifters. It's a secretive place, closed-off to the outside world - until someone sets up a secret mail order bride service that introduces women looking for their mates. Grizzly Mate (MateMatch Outcasts Book 1) Savannah Olson is looking to start over, after a drunk driver crashed into her life, destroying her pregnancy, her relationship and her ability to have children. Her luck seems to be finally changing when mail-order bride service, MateMatch, delivers a match. But she didn’t count on being sent to an isolated ghost town, inhabited by feral shifters too broken to live in society. Not only that, but the big unfriendly bear she’s been matched with knows nothing about her, and has no interest in finding a mate. Protector Mate (MateMatch Outcasts Book 2) Jagger needs a mate. Fast. He’s running from a dark past and his life as the self-appointed sheriff of the outcast community of Ragtown was supposed to keep him on track. But his duties are pushing his bear to the dark side—not least when a new threat appears in town, with the ability to destroy everyone in it. He needs a woman to stabilize the beast in him, before the animal has turned into one of the criminals he’s trying to pursue. But smart, feisty Rowan is not what Jagger expected. Rebel Mate (MateMatch Outcasts Book 3) Aidan has been on the run for too long. From his psychopathic family; from the mountain of secrets he’s been hiding from everyone; and from himself. He wears his heart on his sleeve—that’s what everyone thinks anyways—always full of pranks and jokes. But deep down, his heart is tortured and dark. One look at Kelly though, and Aiden starts to believe in something he’s never a future for himself. Too bad the matchmaker keeps telling him he’s not ready for a mate and, before he knows it, matches Kelly with someone else. This is a 118,000-word boxed set. All books in the boxed set are standalone and can be read completely independently.
USA Today bestselling author Ariana Hawkes writes spicy romantic stories with lovable characters, plenty of suspense, and a whole lot of laughs. She told her first story at the age of four, and has been writing ever since, for both work and pleasure. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband and two huskies.
Overall, I like the ruggedness of the outcasts and the interesting women who they are matched with. Little blips that are easily fixable stopped me from giving it five stars. Looking forward to next story.
I would highly recommend this book to all who love great romantic shifter tales. These shifters don't believe that they deserve a mate and are astounded when their mates appear. Readers should enjoy reading these books and love the stories and how they unfold.
