MateMatch Outcasts #1-6
MateMatch Outcasts: Boxed Set
A matchmaking agency for outcast shifters, and the women tough enough to love them. From the author of Swipe Left For Love, and the Obsessed Mates series. Ragtown is a small former ghost town in the mountains, populated by shifters too screwed-up to live in society. It's a secretive place, closed-off to the outside world - until someone sets up a secret mail order bride service...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.Monster Mate (MateMatch Outcasts Book 4)Brock Redgrave loathes the monster he’s become. He was supposed to be the ultimate weapon, but a failed military experiment has left the lion shifter with a split personality that turns uncontrollably violent under stress. His only sanctuary is in Ragtown where he brews his own beer and stays out of trouble. But when a feisty lioness shows up and brings memories of the past with her, his first instinct is to run her out of town. But his animal knows she’s his and he’s not letting her go without a fight.Dragon Mate (MateMatch Outcasts Book 5)Callan Balter’s dragon is dying. Ever since he lost his family and his ancestral home, Ragtown has been a sanctuary to the noble Scottish dragon. But without his clan, his own territory, and his mate, his dragon cannot survive. The town’s arch matchmaker believes she has a solution to at least one of these problems—the only issue? He needs to rescue his mate before he can claim her.Wild Mate (MateMatch Outcasts Book 6)As the wildest and shyest of the Ragtown bears, Timon doesn’t expect to find a mate, let alone a human one. Rejected by his clan for his different-colored eyes, all he wants is to live in Ragtown in peace, running his pizza parlor. But when a petite, dark-haired human and her scatter-brained friend crash into town in their RV, his life is thrown into a spin.All books in the collection are standalone and can be read completely independently.

Totally enjoyable
Totally enjoyable, romantic shifter series. Florence the flighty squirrel making matches in each book that are always right. Not sure how she managed it with her bizarre questions, but somehow, the matches are right on target. And the chocolate cakes sound yummy too. Of all of the books in this six box set, I think I liked Callan’s story best. I don’t want to give anything away though, so you’ll just have to read and enjoy them for yourself.

Awesome box set!!
Love loved loved the series. Please tell me there's going to be future books ! I love all of the characters and how every one intertwined with the next. The author took a bunch of grumpy shifters and I long comes Florence and notches them all with their mates. Whether they want them or not is irrelevant. Every story has a little bit of everything. I couldn't put this down I read the complete series in 2 days!

The collection was a nice way to while away some time. I don't usually read this genre but, with the pandemic in full swing, I've been reading a bit of everything.
Character development was good. Plots were okay. All center around a match making business run by a squirrel shifter to match other shifters with a mate. Conflicts are mostly believable (as long as you "believe" the whole shifter thing) without the angst of most "romance" novels.

Charming stories!
Raytown became more of an extended family for all its residents, rather than just a place to live for outcasts. The stories showed the growth in the town's solidarity, as residents took mates, became friends and turned their little village into the charming, hospitable and ideal place to live. I found the stories to be almost fairy tale-like. Loved this series and fantasy fans will as well.

Troubled Shifters mates…
These MateMatch singles give us a series of intoxicating stories in an unusual shifter town.
Each pair is extremely unique and powerful. Full of excitement, women who are eventually strong in mind and body and flawed but very sexy men. I thoroughly enjoyed each story.

Okay
This series was okay. I know Ragtown is supposed to be for broken shifters but they should have all worked together to make the town better. I think it would have been better to tear the old houses down and built new ones. Just my opinion. I did like the twists that each story had. Thank I did enjoy reading all of this series.

Outcast
All the guys in their stories are kinda outcast for one reason or another. A hole in the wall town keeps them in check for the most part. But meeting their mate helps put them back together .

shifter books
A great set of books to read. Each can stand alone. I enjoy every book in the set. Another book could be added, or more.

Stories a bit repetitive. They were ok but all about Sam dialogue. They were interesting in the regards to their individual shifters.

This is a fun collection. I wish there was more about Ragtown. The characters are fun. Florence isn't as fun as Tamika. Hopefully, there will be more.
