Weird things always happen when Elena visits her Aunt Bea in Sunset Glade. Disaster follows her like a shadow when she's in the swamp. She's always thought she's just not cut out for the wilderness until her elderly aunt asks her for a visit and reveals the secret her family has kept from her all her life—Elena's not just accident-prone, she's a witch, and the calamities that plague her are her magical powers trying to come out. It's all just the raving of a lonely old woman, right?
Cursed to look like a monster, Benny has lived his entire adult life as a sasquatch. For years, he’s been unable to socialize with anyone other than his brother — until recently. Until he found her . The one woman who can see through his exterior and treats him like no one has in years — like he's human.
Benny and Elena are drawn to each other; she sees him for who he really is, and he's determined to keep her safe from the real monsters that lurk in the Glade. As their chance at love begins to bloom, a malicious presence in the swamp rises and threatens all they’ve worked for. Soon the fate of everyone in Sunset Glade rests on Benny and Elena’s shoulders, and they’ll have to work together to save the town, their families, and each other.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***Received a copy of the ebook for an honest review
The cover is beautiful, but I love the big cats :)
This is the 3rd book in the novella series, and it is still for adults only due to the steamy content. I really like this world that Sennah has created. She does a fantastic job grabbing your attention and pulling you into the story where putting it down is not an option.
This is Benny’s story!! YAY!! He really deserved his story, so I was ecstatic when I started reading. Elena is just wonderful, and I’m glad she could deal with everything. I don’t want to give anything away, but lots of awesomeness happened. I’m wondering who the fourth book is about….guess I should go read it :)
I highly recommend this series to all the shifter lovers out there!

Blaze introduces magic and curses into the mix, adding a darker, more fantastical element to Sunset Glade’s paranormal world. Elena and Benny’s relationship is tender and heartfelt, with Benny’s sasquatch curse providing a unique twist on the ‘monster romance’ trope. The story explores themes of acceptance, family secrets, and courage. The plot’s pace is brisk, balancing romance with suspense and magical intrigue, culminating in a satisfying blend of action and passion.

I like scones!
He was worthy of more than her trust. He was worthy of her heart. AWWWWWW! This is the sweetest, the tenderest, the furriest, the adorablest, just THE BESTEST STORY of this series!! (and yes, they ARE real words! :) ) ‘Simply moonstruck by the mystery of a courtship in the swamp’ That is EXACTLY how I felt too! Given how much I loved Spark, I wasn’t sure HOW the series could possibly get better, but then I read Ember, and YUP! It COULD and DID get even better, then along comes Blaze! WOW!!! Sennah truly did save the best for last! It's so magical, so beautiful, has so many surprises - good & bad - and is the PAWFECT embodiment of a Happily Ever After kind of FURRY TAIL!! There is lots of humor, friends, magic, shifters, family, baked goods (I am so craving fresh homemade cinnamon buns!), mystery and a couple of jaw-dropping, gasp inducing shockers and so much more! But alas, as is typical of a well-earned, well deserved HEA, and any FANGTASTIC story, there has to be some dark, some bad to make it all worthwhile! Of course, there is nothing like a bit of drama or evil happenings to make the Furry Tail couple in question realize that they DO in fact love each other and that they WANT & CAN have a HEA together!! I can't tell you just how SPELLTASTIC & SHIFTACULAR this story is without giving away spoilers, so buy this book, this series, so you can experience its PAWESOMENESS for yourself! As I was reading each of these three books, I grew more & more impressed with Sennah's ability to craft such FURRIFIC stories that held me captive from start to end. So captive in fact, that I was able to escape my pain & my “world” and become the characters, live in their world, feel & experience everything right along with them. Before I had even finished this book I just knew that I had found another author worthy of calling my Hero. Sennah has very quickly catapulted her way into my heart with her friendship & onto my list of Genuinely Gifted and Phenomenally Talented Authors and now has me beyond eager to read & re-read every other book she has published and will publish for many, many years to come!!

ben is mostly happy, living out in the swamp, he knows with the way he looks he has no other choice. unless he wants to be captured, poked and prodded and probably end up dead because science wants to figure out how a sasquatch looks on the inside. until he runs into the screams of a woman who very clearly fell into a dug out pit in woods. pulling her out, he doesn’t know how fast he has to make a safe distance, but that doesn’t hold the woman back from wanting to reach out.
Elena more or less felt a bit blackmailed by her aunt to visit her. as she falls into a muddy a hole, a honey voiced stranger rescues her. the day after baked sweet start appearing at their doorstep. at the same time her aunt is trying to tell her something important, something about looking better at people, seeing their true nature, their bare soul so to speak.
both ben and elena are drawn to each other like a moth to a flame. but ben has a hard time thinking that elena can accept him for what he is, yet she doesn’t show fear, not a single time. all elena sees is a handsome, kind and caring man.
things come to a heated confrontation as a local female sasquatch managed to lure some of the local were animals to attack tucker and brock and their mates. things go bad real quickly, elena tries to help the best she can but it isn’t until her aunt steps in that things change.
having been alone for so long i’m glad to read that Ben will get his own HEA in this last past of the trilogy. it isn’t all sunshine as he battles with himself and the insecurities that come along with being who he is.
it’s a sweet (literally) read, just hope elena doesn’t burn too much, a little something tells e she may be magical but not when it comes to matters involving food.
you just have to grab this book to complete the series and see how the bigger story through them all gets concluded!

Ben Auric has lived in the swamp for years with everyone thinking he was dead. Being cursed as a teen he is the local Bigfoot, literally. He is Tucker's younger brother and loves to bake. Elena has come for a visit with her grandmother to learn some "family things". She gets herself stuck in a pit in the swamp with no way out. Screaming for help, Ben comes to her aid and pulls her out staying in the shadows the whole time. He is smitten and she hasn't run screaming from him so he's convinced that she couldn't see him. Knowing he shouldn't see her again he knows he will. So her bakes for her, leaving the goodies on her aunt's porch for her to find every morning. She is determined to find out who her admirer is and waits for him one night. When he arrives she runs out to talk to him. Amazed that she can look at him and talk to him like a real person fills Ben's heart with love. She is a witch with "true sight" and sees who people really are not just their looks. Ben is such a warm, caring and upbeat character that I so wanted him to get the girl. This story has so much feeling I was giggling as the story went on. Of course there will be drama and a showdown but the ending made all the anxiety worth it. I was so enthralled I read this book in an afternoon. Of course I did nothing else but, oh well. I loved this story the best. I was gifted a copy of this book for an honest review.

Time for the lovely Benny's HEA!!! Ben is happy-ish with his life in the swamp. His brother helps hide him from the public and he gets peace and quiet to work on his baking!! After being cursed by a shaman he is now sporting fur 24/7 as a sasquatch (bigfoot) unlike his panther shifting brother, Tucker, who shifts when he wants to. He's finally got his house to himself when Tucker moves in with his mate. If they would only just give him some respect and not charge in whenever they wanted!!!
Elena has been guilted into visiting her auntie and she only just sets foot in the swamp when she falls down a hole!! Praying for rescue she is saved by a shy stranger, who keeps to the shadows. Unknown to her he follows her home to keep her safe. Over the next few days baked goodies appear on her doorstep.
When her supernatural lineage is explained to her Elena's mind is blown! Can she earn the trust of her shadowy saviour, even though he thinks himself a monster???
So happy that Ben got his HEA as he is just such a total sweetie (and not just because he is a baking god!!) He triumphs over his own insecurities and also gives Elena something to fight for when harnessing her new powers.
Superb story and great characters make reading this series a breeze!

SWEETS
Ben hasn't had any companionship except his brother since he was cursed into a Sasquatch when he was 18, because everyone thought he disappeared that into the swamps that day. Then he helped Elena get out of the muddy hole she fell into. Then he started bringing her and her aunt Bea sweet breakfast treats every morning, she's not afraid of the beast he became.
This is the 3rd story and conclusion of Sunset Glade Panthers. It brings together Tucker with his mate Gabi, Brock with his mate Hailey, and Benny.... They are looking for the dangerous Sasquatch Nora who has killed or attacked several people from their small community. Ben doesn't think he deserves to be loved because he's a monster, Elena only he's he as a man not a beast.
Vivian Tate did an excellent job marrying all the stories together, they are love stories with exciting twists, turns and some unexpected outcomes along the way. I gave this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Off to read the next HUNT CLUB series, Maeve Morrick’s Arctic Station Bears.

A sweet conclusion to the story. Elena comes home when her Aunt Bea asks her to only to find that she has to learn some family secrets she is not sure she wants to know. Benny is Bigfoot due to his change to panther shifter gone wrong. He doesn't understand why she is so friendly and why she cant see his furry face and body. He expects her to freak out. She treats him with respect and interest. He courts her by cooking treats for her and leaving them on her porch. They fall in love and she finds out her family secrets and Benny's secret along the way. I loved how romantic and sweet this story was. Benny comes into his own. The story still had a little suspense and action to keep you on your toes. I can't wait to read more books by this author.

We are in the everglades and in the same town as the other 2 books but this story is about Benny the cursed skunk ape and Elena.
Elena is sitting at her computer thinking of the best place for a vacation when her aunt calls needing her to come home to tell her something important. Of course she does and on her trip she meets Benny and Elena finds out she's a witch. Her gift? Seeing people as they are so Benny is a hot hunk! Lol
Cute sweet romance with action and the 3 book lines blends beautifully.
These are the first few books I have had the chance to read from miss tate and I got to say I will be adding her name to the list of authers I look for in new books! She is really a fun author to read. Pick up her book you will not be disappointed.
Book gifted for an honest review and I honestly loved it. ☺

Book three was so good! Sennah Tate wrote this book from her heart and soul you can tell. She not only wrapped up the story lines running from books one and two but she allowed us to have closer for Ben (not saying any more than that) and explained so much to us about life in the Swamps and why things happened the way that they did. This is one of those series that I will be reading again and again. Short and fun. It would make a great movie for television. I received this book for my honest review. My honest take is make this into a movie of the week!!!

Elena lives in Tampa. Her Aunt Bea calls and wants her to come visit her in Sunset Glade. She says she has things she needs to tell her before she dies. Elaine feels guilty because it has been awhile since she has seen her so she agrees to visit.The news she wants to tell her is that she is a witch. Benny is a bigfoot and a panther shifter. The story of how they get together and work things out is terrific. This is very entertaining and interesting. I received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Benny used to be a man but is now a Sasquatch. He was cursed by a witch. For years he has hidden in the swamp with the help of his brother. Everything changed the day he heard a cry for help from Elena. Elena was visiting her aunt Bea when she fell into a deep whole. Ben saved her and caught her heart at the same time. Elena saw him for his true self. Now can the two find a way to break the curse so he can become the man he is supposed to be?

Igniting with passion
Benny was cursed as a teenager to become a Sasquatch. Elena is visiting her aunt only to find out she’s a witch with true site. She sees people as they really are inside. So when she sees Benny she doesn’t see the monster but the young handsome man he should be and that he’s a good person. Other stuff is also happening in the book with the panthers trying to find the bad female Sasquatch. Benny and Elena ignite in this well written and entertaining story.

Poor Benny was cursed when he was younger and is living his life as Bigfoot. He's so darn sweet and he bakes. He rescues a woman from a pit and just can't seem to stay away from her. She has a gift though and only sees him as his true self.....none of the hair that covers him. Evil lurks in the swamp that threatens to keep them apart. Amazing read, just loved this series.

Panthers oh my...
To be with "true sight" some would think it a curse; others would see the mysteries. A combination of each so well written I felt every emotion.
Bennie was always my favorite so this was my favorite book. A perfect gentleman so far removed to be sincere. Can't ask for more in a hero.
I received this book for free in return for this honest review. And I'd read it again. Happy reading

So what if your a monster? When you are seen for what you truly are on the inside, nothing else matters; right? That's exactly what Benny is gonna find out when he meets his one in Elena. Love doesn't see the bad only the good.
