This is a great collection of stories with fun story lines, great characters that have a ton of chemistry and they never take themselves too seriously. I was lucky enough to read them when they originally came out as singles and I enjoyed all of them at the time. Sitting down to spend a weekend reading the series all the way through, I think I enjoyed them more because I did it as a marathon. I also caught a couple of things I missed the first time around. Even if you've already read them, the set is a great combination and if you can find the time, read them straight through. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).

Books on and four are worth reading, two and three can be skipped.
Box sets are great for reading a whole series without losing the flow. Sometimes they are just something to get through.
1 - BEARLY BREATHING
Marcus and Leya are wonderful together.
Marcus was very judgmental on first meeting Leya but once he stopped judging Leya on her poor choice of wardrobe, I really enjoyed this sweet tale of finally finding ones mate.
Leya is a strong heroine, a perfect alpha's mate and Marcus was really doting which I love.
Loved the background about the bakery and kept feeling hungry.
Read in the box set through KU.
2 - BEARLY THERE
1.5 stars. Hero is a manwhore and heroine just rolls over and accepts him as her mate.
Even though I knew I would not like it I had to read it as part of the box set.
I absolutely loath manwhores as heroes. Taylor is an absolute unlikable a** and Krissy is a spineless wimp.
It was clearly alluded to in book one that Taylor, the youngest brother earned his nickname PLAY BEAR or manwhore. I don’t normally touch that type of story but as this is a box set with two books to go, I read it to gather any background information.
It was as bad as I thought it would be. Taylor’s bear had been telling him for YEARS that Krissy is his mate. Even Krissy told him they were mates. But he just keeps f***ing everything he can as he doesn’t want to be tied down. Until the moment he sees Krissy with another man.
Even though he is on a date, he attacks the man with Krissy. We never hear anymore from that particular female viper either and she doesn’t seem the type to let him go.
Taylor gives lip service to feeling guilty for his past and wishing he had listened to his bear and stopped whoring around.
The moment Taylor chases her down, Krissy of course just opens her legs and accepts him as her mate. Buh Humbug.
Did enjoy the arrival of Nate.
Read in the box set through KU.
3 - BEARLY TAMED
Enjoyable enough read with likeable characters.
A bit short on the drama with the psycho wolf.
Can’t say I felt a great romance between Lacey and Daniel but what was there was great.
Not as sweet as book one and way better than book two.
Read in the box set through KU.
4 - BEARLY MATED
Very enjoyable, probably the best of the lot.
Loses one star as I felt Luisa really had weak reasoning for not accepting Nate as her mate sooner. Her attitude caused Nate untold anguish.
Loved Nate, the gentle soul of an artist but the heart and ability of a warrior.
The rest of the story with the polar bears and the vampires was enjoyable reading.
Read in the box set through KU.

Amazing stories about bear shifters

This is box set is about black bear shifters who are bakers in a bakery called Bear Claw Bakery which uses organic products in their baked goods.

Bearly Breathing:

Marcus is the oldest brother who is worried about not finding his mate. He doesn't want to go feral and be put to death.

He goes to a tropical island where there is a Bakery run by shifters. Who should we meet there but he is mate Leya. Will they still be mates after he shows her his bear?

Bearly There:

Taylor is the youngest of the brothers, a spirit bear shifter (that is a golden bear), and play-bear who is basically is shifter that has one night stand. He believes in fated mate but doesn't think he will have one.

Kristy is a bear shifter who basically works for the Devlin brothers from her teenage years. She knew that Taylor was her mate, Will Taylor convince Kristy that he is serious about being mates?

Bearly Tamed:

Daniel is Enforcer for the Barvale Bear Clan, one of the Devlin brothers, and a woman-hater because his gold digger fianc'ee left them at the altar. He met Lacey at a bar.

Lacey is a top model who is in trouble with her psycho werewolf ex-boyfriend that injured her face. Will Daniel realize that the connection to Lacey is fated mate call?

Bearly Mated:

Nate is a half black/grizzly bear, a half brother to the Devlin brothers, and a graphic artist. His fated mate is Luisa, Krissy's sister.

Luisa is a bear shifter, a doctor who had just finished medical internship and lost her mother due to cancer. They are mated but she has nothing to do with Nate. Will they ever get together with the help of his brothers and father?

The characters are relatable, unique, funny, and emotional. The plot is a fast-paced drama with each story is that the intriguing and unique to the characters presented. I like the way that the stories and characters interweave which each other to make the box set that the reader would really enjoy. I highly recommend this series.

Delightful series. Bearly Breathing: Marcus, the oldest Devlin brother, is looking for his forever fated mate. He is ready. Leya, a generously proportioned woman, has been in friend zone with the men in her life and is tired of being the 'nice girl'. She is ready to cut loose and have fun. She goes on a vacation and meets Marcus. They go through a courtship that challenges their fledgling relationship. Will they set their baggage down and work together?

Bearly There: Too little, too late? Krissy has been crushing on Taylor since they were teenagers. She has always known he is her fated mate. Taylor, the youngest Devlin brother, is comfortable being a playa. Taylor considers her off limits prefering his single status, until a new guy comes to town. He is ready to make his move. Although she's loved him since she was 13, she realizes it may be time to move on and doesn't believe Taylor's interest. Will Taylor understand he really needs to step up his game in a big way? Can Krissy get over her peak?

Bearly Tamed: Daniel, one of the Bakery owners and enforcer for the clan is still hurt from being left at the altar. He expects to live his life alone. Lacey, an extraordinarily beautiful woman can't escape the superficial perception others have of her. Her abusive ex boyfriend terrorizes her and reveals his inner animal.

Bearly Mated: Luisa is the pack doctor, an independent career driven woman. We've met Nate through the series and sympathized with his insecurities. They have a few conflicts through their courtship that form the character of their relationship. Will/cana they set down their baggage? Will they overcome the roadblocks?

I absolutely loved this book. It is the stories of the Devlin brothers, bear shifters who find and fall for their mates. Bearly Breathing: The oldest Devlin brother, Marcus taking a vacation where he meets Leya. And Leya, after a hamulating date with her boss needs a vacation desperately. When Marcus meets Leya sparks fly.
Bearly There: Taylor Devlin, a play bear brother. Krissy Sposa knows that Taylor is her fated mate but he totally ignores her, dating everyone else but her. She's finally given up on Taylor and he's realizing that Krissy is his fated mate but will she even acknowledge him now.
Bearly Tamed: Daniel is the enforcer for the Barvale Clan and when he gets a call on night to rescue Lacey Alain who was attacked by a wolf shifter, he finally realizes that she is his fated mate. But will he let his past hurts keep him from her.
Bearly Mated: Nate Cordoza, who's a half brother to the Devlins and he's just looking for a home. He's an artist but when he meets Luisa Sposa he realizes she is his fated mate. But she's a doctor and he's an artist, is he even good enough for her.
These are excellent stories, great reads, steamy and hot, and just fun. I loved each one, these alpha males get their women but they have to fight for them and I loved that. And they all have a great HEA.

I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
Bearly Breathing: I can see were he gets the bearly breathing part. Very good story. I liked it very much. It is cute and sexy at the same time. Big brother finds his Mate.
Bearly There: Taylor has a lot of things he will have to make up for. All the years he played and did not even look at Krissy as anything more than a friend. She knew that they were mates at thirteen. He is just now relining that they are mates.
Bearly Tamed: Lacey had a time with a werewolf, he was not her boyfriend. He thought otherwise, Tim hit her and verbal abuse it was not nice. She did get away from him and found someone to help her. A nice lady who called the Clan in Barvale. Daniel came and got her and took care of her. Very good story and a happy ending also.
Bearly Mated: Very good story. Was that a different kind of Vampire? Would be interesting to see more with that. I can't wait until the polar bears get their mates. So much more to come I hope.

The were some of the written paranormal reads that I've come across. The storylines were unique to each book, yet still cohesive. The characters in each came with their own set of unique issues and drama, but not overly to bog the story down. I found it easy to get lost in each book, and I really enjoyed that escape.

Well written shifter stories full of sweetness and steam

This is a great set of bear shifter stories that, while hitting the steam just right, are also sweet and heartwarming, too. Secrets, drama, danger and sizzling chemistry abound in these stories and I really enjoyed following along to their HEAs.

Bearly

Sweet shifter romances with a touch of danger. I think book three about Daniel and Lacey was my favorite. I do love how books 3 and 4 brought more supernatural in to play, but would adore to find out more about Bal.
