Three Bears: The Complete Duet

by Colette Rhodes

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Goldilocks, who innocently wandered into a home owned by a family of bears…

Okay, my name is Ria. And I may have broken in, but I was high and it was cold outside. Oh, and the bears were actually shifters.

Potayto, potahto.

The point is, I’m kind of a wreck. Plus, I robbed my cheating, lying a-hole of an ex-boyfriend on my way out the door and he’s not thrilled about it, so I’m stuck with these three distractingly attractive men for the time being — one of whom is weirdly hung up on the whole breaking and entering thing. What could go wrong?

This duet is made up of two books — Gilded Mess and Golden Chaos. This story is a medium burn, reverse harem romance for readers 18+

Genres: Paranormal, Fantasy

505 pages, Hardcover

About the author

Colette Rhodes is a paranormal romance author from New Zealand. She loves to write about love in all its forms, and adores imperfect heroes and heroines who find perfection in each other. You’ll often find her trying to justify her degree by including ancient history and mythological influences in her work.

If she’s not writing, then you’re almost certain to find her reading—ideally with a cup of tea in hand and a scented candle burning to match the mood.

I have been looking forward to reading these for a while now and finally had a break in my ARC schedule to do it. I may not have slept, but I read both books in 2 days!

I didn't stop to review the first before diving into the second, so you get a double review today!

Some call her reckless, others, uninhibited and daring. Aurelia stumbles through life, one bad decision after another until one of those decisions turns out to be the best she ever made.

TBH, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears was never a favorite story of mine, until now! This sexy spin on the children's story is fun, suspenseful, and straight up 🔥!

While I'm glad it is a duet so I could finally get some sleep, I definitely would not have complained about more. Lou and Nate maybe? Joe and Vincent's story? Please🥺

On my way to Alaska...

If I didn’t know any better, I would say that Colette based Ria on me. She has my kind of humour and snark. I absolutely love her and she is definitely a fast favourite FMC for me.

In fact, this duet has become a fast favourite of mine. I love a good shifter book, I say that quite often, but this duet just has everything. Humour, sass, angst, lumberjack bear shifters (I repeat, LUMBERJACK BEAR SHIFTERS), and all the feels.

I loved how the story came together in the end, it was perfect. I will forever recommend this duet ❤️

I actually really enjoyed this book.

Came into it not quite knowing what to expect from it but actually ended up really enjoying it. A few odd moments here and there but Colette Rhodes’ writing had me captivated and I couldn’t put it down easily.

I managed to read the entire second book with in only one day!

There's little else to say other than the reading was just ok. It took me a while to even get into reading it in the first place. So it was a slow go but I was invested in it after the first few chapters. I wish the ending had 2 epilogues where we maybe see how the guys act when they find out about the pregnancy and have a hilarious delivery scene instead of the 4yrs later epilogue we got. Anyways it's an OK time waster.

Ria is a 30 year old that is an act now, deal with consequences later type of gal. And she is hilarious. She finds herself always needing help out of sticky situations. And when she finds herself in a big mess, three bear shifter brothers want to keep her safe. Seth, Eli, and Noah have been going through the motions of their life until Ria turns up unannounced at their cabin that she helped herself to. Will Ria find her place with them? Have the guys finally found their mate?

Ugh loved this one way more than I expected, the shifter angle isn't normally my thing but the amount of just general respect all the characters had for each other and the normalization of talking about feelings, the two books were unputdownable. Totally plan to reread one day all cozy up on a couch with the rain in the background, made me nostalgic for that feeling of falling in love.
