Olivia Dalton might have a little problem with control. She maintains a perfect GPA, has a flawless wardrobe and can bend people around her to fit her needs - until she meets the guy that throws her off beat with one glance. When the sexy drummer flashes his crooked smile her way, she comes undone at the seams and struggles to regain order. Fate has other ideas, making Olivia question everything she ever knew.
Aaron Lindquist was drawn to the fiery redhead, Olivia the first time he laid eyes on her. Her good girl appearance didn’t fool him for a minute. One touch of her hand was all it took to make sparks fly between them. But as his polar opposite, Olivia refuses to let her animal out.

Even though this is a stand alone, I felt I'd been dropped in the middle of a story. Much of it was too pat. Not enough character development. I didn't feel the chemistry. And other than a by the way, I'm a werebear comment, there are no scenes with were changes, etc. It just didn't make it as a paranormal storyline for me.

Violet Vaughn's novella "Aaron: Mating Fever (Rocked by the Bear Book 4)" was the first tale this reader read from the author, and one might think the fourth book in a series would have a well defined plot and characters. While protagonist Olivia and werebear Aaron were kind of likeable enough, this reader never truly attached to them and cared enough to root for either. They were just kind of "there". Where was the flash one might expect from a rock star? Other than a few sentences showing girls rushing to flirt with drummer Aaron, none was evident. No shifting or real evidence of his bear-side... readers are told Aaron is a werebear and his physical description does denote a powerful man, but we are never really shown his bear-self. Perhaps the answers were in the missing chapter one of the story; like another reviewer stated a year ago, there is a Chapter 1 heading, turn the page and you are in Chapter 2. Perhaps the missing chapter gave an overview of the previous three books, which would have really helped. Comments were made that Olivia was also a werebear, but apparently it would only be activated in her once she was bitten... I think? It was really hard to empathize for either character when it felt like so much information was missing.
Aaron was presented as a 'bad boy rock star" yet he never spoke like a bad boy in public... it is understandable that he would show his softer side to his intended mate, Olivia, but the few times he addressed others, he still seemed extremely tame for a 'bad boy'. Olivia seemed snobby and prudish, which was apparently to show her control-freak nature and that her last boyfriend had emotionally hurt her, but only made her an unlikeable character to this reader. Both main characters were pretty one-dimensional in presentation. The one bright spot in this tale for this reader was the very brief - too brief! - scenes with the adorable elderly neighbor ladies. They gave comic relief and heart to their scenes, and I really wanted to know more about them.
This short story read more like a few scenes from a larger storyline, like this reader was plopped into the middle of a story with no recap of what had happened previously, and honestly left no desire for me to read the first three books to fill in the missing pieces. Technically a stand alone, but not worth the asking price, in this reader's view.

I am not a fan of instant love. So him telling her that he loves her on the first date is a big red flag for me. I get that they are fated mates, but being mated does not mean that you know each other or even like each other. So that took away some from this book for me. I liked Olivia and how logical and focused she was, until she wasn't. The old lady neighbors who were adorable in previous books were a little pushy in this one. Olivia being afraid of rumors of his cheating on her was perfectly logical; 1. she's been cheated on before and 2. he's a literal rockstar. HE was wrong from being so upset with her for having a perfectly logical response to the implication that he was kissing other women. This was must meh.

This was the second book I read from this author and I really liked it.
Aaron was your bad boy rocker with a heart of gold. To the outside world, he has a role to play. He had to seem like the playboy at was with a different girl every night. Where deep down, he wanted a forever girl. That was about to change when he met with the sorority president for a charity event.
Olivia was Aaron's complete opposite. She plans her life down to the minute. She is constantly in her head rearranging plans that she doesn't realize she isn't really living. One deal by a gorgeous rocker throws her life in a tailspin but in the best way possible!!

This was a rather fun quick read. As the fourth in the series, it didn't take as much time detailing out some of the finer points of their shifter ideas and some of the back story is lost. However, it is readable on its own. You get to see the others of the series, but they don't have a huge role in the story. Aaron and Olivia are front and center to the story and the hows of them coming together were entertaining to read about.

Rock star, wherever and romance
Such a great book. The characters draw you in and you can't read fast enough to find out what happens next. Aaron knows it's love but Olivia is afraid. Will she ever learn to love again? Read it to find out. Great romance and steamy scenes plus forebears who needs more.

Decent college wherever story that rocks.
He's a drummer, she's head of a sorority. She has trust issues and doesn't know about forebears. He's all about his true mate. Read to find out how they come together.

Mating Fever
Didn't know where this story was going at first. Thought it might be her girlfriend that gets the guy, but no Miss Geek is the one that finally let's go and finds true love in the most extraordinary circumstances.

Patience Rewarded
This was a very sweet werebear love story. Olivia fought her attraction to Aaron. He was patient and gave her time to become accustomed to the feelings. She finally had to admit her feelings and everything worked out.

Lovely college romance
From the moment they meet, they feel an unusual connection. But she 's afraid of being hurt and resists, at first. A lovely reminder not to judge by first impressions.

Great story
This was a great story, I love true mate books where half of the couple is unaware that wereanimals exist. This is a good variation of the story of fated mates and I really enjoyed it.

Rocker bear and his mate
Love reading bear shifter books, the only thing is there is no mention of what kind of bear he was or what she was either but I still liked it.

The story focuses on; OLIVIA, a sexy, intelligent, flaming red-head and President of her Sorority; AARON, is head-turning gorgeous, the drummer for Second Sound, and the last single brother.
What you’ll find in this story; a cast of remarkably impressive and engaging characters, spectacular story-line, picturesque and dynamic scene descriptions, camaraderie, phenomenal banter, heart-rending moments, jealousy, spiraling emotions, a bit of drama, family love, sky rocketing toe-curling sensual romance, and a melt-your-heart conclusion.
Olivia needs the Second Sound band to play at a charity fundraiser for children that her sorority is holding. Her roommate Courtney has arranged a meeting with Aaron to ask the now famous rock star if the band would play. Aaron is more than happy to have the band play as long as Olivia agrees to go on a date with him. A previous relationship has Olivia not trusting any males with her heart, but she does agree to date him ONCE. Aaron is so not her type; his bad boy appearance, girls flocking to him, and the press articles about him have left her cold. Aaron wants to win her heart, and hopes she will not run him.
WOW/INCREDIBLE fast paced well written heart-warming read by a truly gifted author. The author has done a fabulous job by giving readers an intriguing plot to keep you glued to the story from start to finish. The characters spring to life with the fantastic dialogue and vivid scene descriptions that leave you wanting more. The romance between Aaron and Olivia sizzles with burning passion, and their relationship is filled with fun and devotion. I so loved the characters and their upbeat personalities. This was a most entertaining read. If you treasure shifter romance this is a terrific book for your library. {I was gifted this book and this is my complete honest review}. In the world of shifter romance the possibilities are endless and always fascinating. Without reservation I recommend this book.

Oh I definitely recommend this book to all mature readers 18 years or older. I promise you will really enjoy the Great writing, characters, plot, etc. This author knows her craft and executes it nicely.

Aaron Lindquist is a part band with his brothers, he is the single brother all the woman hang on him. But Aaron is drawn to Olivia a redhead controlling girl, when he first meet her. He wasn't fool by her good girl appearance. The sparks was flying after he touched her. But opposites attracts.

This is jprobably my favorite ot the books featuring the Lindquist quadruplets. This book of course features Aaron, the drummer of the brother's band. He has the bad boy persona in spades with his spiked hair, tattoos and photos with different girls hanging off his arms everynight. He is so, not what Olivia wants in a man. Where Aaron is more about spontaneity, Olivia plans everything down to last minute. She wants a man who is stable and not what Aaron represents.
The about this book that I liked it is shows how opposites attract and you need to let loose and have some spontaneity in life and not be structured. Most of all, it shows people are more than their outward apperances and you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. I think Ms. Vaughn showed this as only she knows how.
I really enjoyed the characters, especially Aaron. He was sweet, and funny and tried to keep his public persona at a distance. I liked Olivia as well. She started so structured and slowly the structure was loosed a little as the book went on. I got teary-eyed a few times as things unfolded in Aaron and Olivia's story.
The story will quickly grab your attention and keep you reading (it's easy to do since this is novella length). I'm looking forward to reading what Ms. Vaughn writes next!
