Bear Shifter Dating Agency

by Lilly Wilder

When it comes to surviving the frozen tundra, it pays to have a big protective partner.
More than one, if you can get that lucky.

The problem with being a single mother to a bear shifter cub is that paranormal creatures are pretty much all you can date.
I've been alone since before she was born, and I need to cuddle with someone to keep me warm.
So I signed up to a paranormal dating website.

All I want for Dahlia is to have someone she can look up to, someone like her.
Seems that there are two contestants up for the job…and they might be willing to work together, to share.

And here I thought the dating scene as a single mother with a human kid was complicated.

Bear Shifter Dating Agency is a standalone paranormal romance with a HEA and NO cheating!

I loved this addition to the Dating Agency series!! This story focuses on Winter and the polar bear that up and left her when she was pregnant. Now after birthing the cute little girl, Dahlia, with the help of bear she decides to stay in the wilds of Alaska to raise her daughter. Another mother in her birthing class convinces Winter to sign up for a dating app that pairs humans with shifters. She meets Duncan who is a bear shifter I am they hit it off from the first moment they see each other. This is good because Winter being a human cannot teach her daughter how to shift when she needs to. Winter brings Dahlia to meet Duncan down at the docks for lunch and she runs into a person she never thought she would see you again, Tyler Dahlia’s father. Winter offers Tyler a deal he can’t afford to refuse to be in Dahlia’s life. Will he take her up on the offer? Where is Duncan’s place in all of this?

DNF - Quit at 67%
I tried to finish, but I just couldn't keep going anymore. The point I quit felt so cliché and predictable, that I gave up. The flow was really slow, and there was a ton of editing & proof-reading errors that really did take away from the story. I don't know, it all just felt too forced together- especially the relationships, & of course the plot. I sort of felt like without the "mate bond" thing that most shifter books have, that the human/bear relationships in this book didn't seem legit. She fell into Duncan's arms, all on the same day she meets him, the same day she responded to his on-line dating app reply, with only minimal conversation before heading to the bedroom. It just felt too rushed. The way Tyler was living as a bear (especially all the talk of eating the stragglers of his clan!), he sure wasn't an attractive option for a human woman to want to be involved with. He also didn't seem to even miss Winter in the 2 years he was gone, but suddenly now that he has a daughter with her, he wants Winter back?! Um, not a good recommendation for me anyway. I hate that I wasted so much time before calling it quits on this book.

At my age (approaching 60), life is way too short & my time is too important to force myself to read a book I'm not enjoying, especially when there are so many other books out there waiting to be read.

Winter Clemson lives in Nome, Alaska. She has a baby daughter named Dahlia whose absent father is a polar bear shifter named Tyler. She has never been sure whether Tyler knew she was pregnant when he and his clan migrated back out of her life without a word of goodbye. She hasn't heard from him since he left and has no way to tell him about his daughter. Winter knows she needs to find another shifter to help her with Dahlia since she can't teach her what she needs to know about being a bear. She signs up with a dating agency that specializes in shifters. Her prospects included two bear shifters and she decided to start there.

Duncan owns a fleet of fishing boats and does his best to supply food for local bear shifters who come to town in the winter for food and a place to hibernate. The two of them hit it off from the start and he is thrilled to meet Dahlia. When Winter and the baby come meet Duncan for lunch one day, the unexpected happens-Tyler and his clan are there to pick up food and clothing. It is obvious to him that Dahlia is his and he immediately wants to take her and integrate her into the migrant bear life. Winter is equally determined that that isn't going to happen. Fortunately, she has Duncan and his workers to back her up. But is Tyler the biggest danger to Dahlia?

I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

So many possibilities . . .

Winter is a human and spent some time with a polar bear shifter who disappeared from her life. Winter was pregnant, but determined to stay in Alaska even after the birth. But she would need help from another shifter to meet the needs of her shifter daughter, Dahlia -- someone she can look up to who is like her. Someone suggested a dating app to find shifters, and she met Duncan who was a good choice and could make her happy.

When Winter and Dahlia go to the docks to meet Duncan for lunch, her new life takes a crazy spin as she runs into Dahlia’s father, Tyler! What will Tyler do about this situation? Will he want to come back to be with Winter and his daughter? And what if Winter won’t give up Duncan? Or will Tyler disappear again?

This was a good story. Grab your copy and see if there is a solution for Winter’s situation. Winter is a strong person and willing to sacrifice for the sake of her daughter by staying in Alaska because it’s best for Dahlia. Will Tyler step up and accept his role as parent? And would Duncan be willing to stay as they work out a compromise of some sort?

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Tyler and Winter were together for a short time before he left without saying anything. She knew he was a bear and migrated, but still it hurt. She finds herself alone and pregnant with a daughter. A few years go by and she is lonely enough to sign up for a dating agency. She chose the shifter agency because she knows someone will have to help teach her daughter what she cannot. She meets Duncan and they hit it off, even Dahlia. One afternoon together, they come across Tyler unexpectedly. He realizes he has a daughter and tries to make decisions for them all. Now though, Duncan is involved so it gets complicated. When the unthinkable happens, they will have to work together for Dahlia. If they can follow their hearts, a happy future for them all is in store. I really enjoyed their story. It is well written with characters that draw you in.

Started off slow then snowballed with tension and complications.

Left alone and pregnant by her best shifter boyfriend, Tyler, Winter raised her baby girl alone for the first year. She finally gets talked into joining a dating service and gets paired with Duncan. Within days Tyler shows up, now head of his clan, and threatens to take Dahlia, the baby. He is aghast that there is a baby, and he didn't have a clue, Winter is still missed that he left her pregnant and alone for the last two years. It takes Duncan's quiet leadership, and Dahlia being kidnapped for the three of them to come to a conclusion about what to do. My only problem with this book is that the writer must not know much about babies, cause she has a fourteen month old (or older, timeline wise baby could be as much seventeen months old) acting like a barely six month old infant, barely eating solids and hardly crawling, not even babbling or saying mama, and that's just wrong, even a slow developer would be further advanced than that.

If you want to read a book that has action, romance and steamy hot love scenes, then this book is for you. There is nothing better to read then a bear shifter ménage story to keep the cold out and to keep the fires burning. Winter is abandoned when she’s in her early pregnant to Tyler. She has her baby daughter Dahlia on her own swearing that she will not have her daughter brought up feeling unwanted. It ha now been two years and she is tired of being alone so she uploads her details onto the shifter dating site and get some match in Duncan. They go on their first date and then spend the night together. This is where the drama starts, hold onto your seats and come along for the ride, especially since Tyler has come back to town and wants to claim his child.

Winter is a single mom in Nome Alaska. Her daughter was born and they were on their own. She had no friends. Her daughters father, a bear shifter, was just passing thru town and left without notice. Winter knew she would not be much help once her child started shifting. She needed someone that could help her daughter learn while growing up. Winter wouldn’t mind someone around for herself either. She spends too many days alone. She’s lonely. She decides to sign up with a shifter dating agency. She meets someone local who seems to be perfect. Of course the next day, her daughters father shows up in town. Lots of unexpected drama. Can all three if them work? Their romance grows. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Winter has a daughter who is a bear shifter, but she is human and alone. Tyler, her daughter's father has been gone for almost two years and she has no way to contact him. So, at her friend's advice, she
uses a dating app that will hopefully hook her up with a bear shifter. Enter Duncan, a dream come true for the harried single mother. He is mature, calm, reliable and willing to step up. Of course, this is when Tyler shows up. What follows are twists and turns, life changing decisions and an unexpected
suggestion for the future. This book has wonderful characters, a unique world of shifters / humans and fast-paced action. I received this book as a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Winter is a single mother and was getting lonely. Winter didn't know why Tyler just up and left. Winter was upset at first about being pregnant and alone but moved on from that because she knew that bears migrated. Winter ended up signing up on a dating app. She also knew that her daughter could benefit from having another bear around. Winter was a protective mother and has never left her with anyone. Winter works from home and is fine with that. Winter ended up meeting Duncan a bear shifter they hit it off. They both liked each other every much. Winter went to go see Duncan at his job working the docks when all of a sudden Tyler shows up. I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the storyline and plot.

Oh, the heat is HOT, and the physical chemistry is captivating so be careful you may just get burned all the heat coming off these pages. There were some "oh no" "oh wow" " what the what" moments and add in uncanny mishaps, and shenanigans the good kind that makes you keep turning the pages till last page has been turned. Tyler and Winter were together and one day he just disappears leaving her pregnant and to give birth to their baby girl. She meets a friend who tells her about the shifting dating app and she decides to give it a try well that is until she runs into her ex and father of her baby girl. Is it enough to stop her or will the two of them get back together and raise their little girl?

Not so cuddly bears


If you think of soft fur and lots of cuddles when you think of bears this book will make you think again . A cold shifter story full of ice and heat set to melt your kindle and your heart . I am not a fan of ice and cold but I may be able to change my mind if I had two ultra protective ( even f they are sometimes insensitive ) huge warm bears to help me cope with it. A story with a lot of betrayal and some not very nice characters ( including one of the heroes ) but a great read if you don't mind shivering as you read

This was the first book I've read by this author even though I keep seeing the releases. I am glad I finally picked this up. I love menage and love triangles so this intrigued me from the beginning. I love the take on the shifter world and how they're out in the open and humans can date them with no repercussions. I loved Winter and her sacrifice to give Dahlia what she needed most and loved her connection with Duncan when they meet. I was on edge for a while waiting to see how she would work that out with Tyler back in the picture. I was glad to see them all move through this maturely. The chemistry is amazing and Dahlia stole my heart.

[Sara Munoz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an emotionally well-written story by one of my favorite authors. This book, a Paranormal Menage Mating Romance was interesting and has well-constructed characters, scenes and story. These characters have strong personalities and their interactions are believable. This wonderful story has the following: twists, turns, adventure, action, bear shifters, human single mom of a shifter, loneliness, love, steam and a HEA. It is a fast-paced book that will keep you entertained from start to finish. A must read for Paranormal Romance Lovers.

[Jamoz23 · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read WOLF SHIFTER DATING AGENCY first and though not impressed, I like to try more than one book before giving up on an author.
This was once again okay reading.
Tyler was pretty juvenile with his attitude and threats but he did step up to save Dahlia, so kudos to him.
Duncan was lovely, a very sage and calm man who kept his
Winter was practically a hermit who trusts nobody and likes even fewer people until Duncan comes into her life, so the whole debacle with Anastasia was unbelievable.
I have decided this author is okay when I want a switch of non-thinking read.
Read through Kindle Unlimited.

This is the second book in this latest series and is about Winter, Duncan and Tyler. Tyler and Winter dated for a short time before he left without saying anything. Winter then finds herself all alone and pregnant and knowing that Tyler was a bear shifter decides to stay and live in Alaska. A few years after giving birth to her daughter she is lonely enough to sign up for a dating agency. Hoping to find someone who can teach her daughter what she cannot. Here she meets Duncan and they hit it off but what happens when Tyler comes back and realises he has a daughter. Filled with love hate, danger, birth and death.

Living Her Fantasy -
When I started reading the story, I tried to guess which way it was going to progress based on the blurb, but boy, was I wrong. The way Tyler, Winter and Duncan worked together effectively and efficiently to become one unit so easily, will leave your heart jumping for joy. Once the story got going, it really grabbed and shook me to the core. I kid you not, but you will definitely be disappointed if you don’t read this book.

Bear Shifter Dating Agency

Really enjoyed this book. An interesting concept compared to other shifter books I've read, but still enjoyable!
Winter is a single parent of a white bear shifter child, Tyler the baby's father just disappeared before he was told Winter was pregnant
After meeting up with a former member of the prenatal group that she attended, Winter signs up to a shifter dating agency.
Duncan is an alpha bear shifter who runs a fishing business, landing fish to sell and also providing food for the migrating shifter clans.

Winter, thinking she has been abandoned by the bear shifter father of her baby girl, looks to an online dating site to find a shifter who can help her with her daughter and offer her some companionship. Her first match is Duncan, who is more than happy to step in. Then her baby's father, Tyler, comes back into town, and the three of them need to figure things out. They do, and it's oh so hot.
This was a fun read. Lilly Wilder knows how to do shifter menage so well, and this is no exception. If you like MFM and shifter romance, this is the perfect book for you!

This was a pretty good story. A single mother with a bear shifter daughter finally decides that it’s time to start dating again. Of course, right after she makes an emotional connection with someone, the father of her child comes back into the picture. This is the story of the three of them figuring out what the future will look like for all of them.
The book is a fast paced story with fairly well developed characters, strong world building, drama and even a few laughs.

This was quite the entertaining shifter novel. I felt for Winter as she was abandoned to have her baby alone. She then meets Duncan and there is instant attraction. Duncan is a great guy and is very caring and sweet. Then we find out what happens with Tyler, the guy who ran out on her. Turns out he isn't the total jerk we think he is. Add in a few twists that you don't expect, and enough action happens to keep your interest.

Not the traditional triad shifter book but came together in a great way. Some twists and turns, ups and downs...
Winter is pregnant with Tyler's baby. Unfortunately Tyler has disappears and leaves Winter on her own. Winter meets Duncan but once again, along comes Tyler.
(( The bloody yourbirth scene at the beginning is a bit much. I had to skip that))
I really enjoyed the story though. Not the traditional triad but the story comes together nicely and there is a HEA.

Didn’t know where this story was going but I really enjoyed it when it did. Winter is living alone in the wilderness of Alaska. Spending one wild winter with a bear shifter who just disappeared without a word, ended in giving her a beautiful daughter. A year later Winter realizes that she needs someone in her life and her daughter needed the influence of another bear shifter soon before she started shifting, Winter applied to a shifter dating agency. Love the look into the dynamics of a shifter clan.
