Reading this was...an experience that I wouldn't want to repeat again.
It's not even that they actually shift into donuts (that was the funniest part!), but that it felt three times as long and didn't work for me.

FAQ:
Why the hell did you read this?
I blame Stef for posting the cover in our Weird Romance group chat and my channel members for supporting my idea to read this together. (Literally, together. A bunch of us were reading it at the exact same time and giving updates as we read)
Did the heroes really shapeshift into donuts?
Yes. Yes, they did. There were other shapeshifters as well in this world. (Donkeys, coffee cups, you know, the usual.) When donkey shapeshifters are LEAST odd thing to shapeshift in this world…
Honestly, all three of these stars are dedicated to the friends I read this with and those who read it after we did. I had so much fun reading it with them!

This fated-mates, insta-love quickie features a gorgeous donut-hating witch and three hot bakers who shapeshift into... donuts.
This is as silly as it sounds, but its all in good fun and though it ties in to a couple Mia Harlan's other books, it functions well as a stand-alone story and it serves as a tasty sample of her writing style.
This light, fluffy, sugar-crusted palette cleanser gets 3½ stars from me.

What sweet hell of a fever dream was this?!? This novella was too bizarre an opportunity to pass up, but I almost wish I had. It’s the longest 27 pages I’ve read in “romance” and it was just lacklustre, for such an outlandish premise.
I can’t tell whether the author loves carbs or hates them - but our MFC sure starts off hating them, until a magical pumpkin spice latte changes the course of her life forever.

The word SQUISHY was used 33 times in a 27-page book. I will come back later to review.

Jetta hates donuts. She hates how they smell and doesn't eat them. So when a donut shop opens near where she lives, she sends them letters asking them to get a witch to mask the smell coming from their shop. They don't which makes her really mad. So when she meets a woman and is invited back to her shop for a coffee, she goes but there seems to be a spell on the coffee she's served. Jetta is a witch and can detect the spell but doesn't think it's malicious so she drinks it anyway and then gets in her car to go home, only to find herself in front of the donut shop. Because the spell on the coffee was to help her find her fated mate or mates and now she can't stop herself from going inside the donut shop.
Inside the shop she finds three shifted donuts. At first she is horrified to think that her fated mates are donuts and then they start to shift and she realizes that they are donut shifters and they also shift into men. Three gorgeous men who are all her fated mates and they show her that donuts aren't that bad.
This book was definitely different. I love a shifter romance but I've never read one where the shifters shifted into inanimate objects. So while it was a cute, sweet romance. It was also kinda strange. It was a fast paced novella though and I did laugh while reading it.

As a person who's generally not a fan of sweets, I am so not the target audience. That being said I really really didn't like it.

What a funny and weird novella. So we have Jetta who lives near a donut shop and oh my goodness is she a Karen. Yes people I called Jetta a Karen because of what she says and does. She seems uptight and she really needs to relax. But hey that all changes the moment she gets a taste of PSL. Now we also learn that she can feel magic in things and she does. Then we have the guys Andres, Brooks, and York who are shifters, but not your typical shifters. They own the donut shop LOL. So what will happen when they meet their fated mate. Well it definitely gets interesting that is for sure. Check it out to find out what happens. It is a quick read and you will get some good laughs.

Do you want a book that includes gluten, empty calories, and an awful storyline? Then I got the book for you. My donut shifters by Mia Harlan starts off like any other story, our main character a witch named Jet (Jetta as her friends call her) bashing how much she hates donuts. Her job at the department of supernatural affairs is forcing her on a two week vacation and it is the worst thing ever because she hates donuts and the smell. So much so that she drives an hour north to escape.
While in Moonlit Falls, we waste a good chunk of the book. We meet a pony shifter that apparently doesn't have an open Cafe, but when we enter, it is completely packed and fully functioning. As long as you consider functioning, a bikini mug fashion show to honor Jenny's life, an espresso machine named Diva with lots of opinions, tables that cry, and spoons that are laughing at you. I wish I was laughing. The pony shifter than gives you a magical pumpkin spice latte, and while you hope it was magical because of the fall spices. No the barista drugs you and don't know what the hell is in the drink. Except now you have a pull to your car and you start driving home.
Back home, we are introduced to our three other characters. York, a jelly donut. Andres, a frosted donut. Brooks, sympathetic shifter lump of dough. Donut makers and shifters that can't gain weight from eating donuts. Question is is it cannibalism?! They don't seem to care especially when they are introduced to their mate that comes slamming into their squishy shifters donut emporium screaming, "I hate donuts."
Jet soon realizes (passage from the story) "the pumpkin spice latte spell is a fated mate spell… and my mate is my worst nightmare. A donut. I gape at the powdered dessert on the chair. Puffy. Perfectly round. So temptingly squishy. I have this sudden urge to poke it in its jelly- filled middle. Because apparently, my one true love is the epitome of gluten, sugar, carbs, and empty calories. Yup, definitely a donut. I’m bemoaning my fate when my gaze starts to travel south. Not to the donut’s crotch. A donut doesn’t have a crotch. But to the floor, where I spot the sexiest lump of dough I’ve ever seen. I don’t even like dough, but this one’s just so full. And thick. And tantalizing. Which means, I’m oh- so screwed. The dough is my second fated mate. And just as I think my life couldn’t get any worse, I see it. The squishy toy that’s shaped like a donut. It’s round and blue and has a hole right in the middle. A stress ball of a dessert with a painted smile. My third fated mate."
This story then continues in the grossest way possible. York then "uses his power" to find the perfect donut to put everywhere on her body and then knows which one should lick it off.. lemon creme on the nipples, chocolate on her legs, and worst of all licking off the cinnamon sugar then licking her clit. Just a yeast infection waiting to happen.. 🥁
I would say no it is not worth the $2.99 that I spent on this book to bash donuts and make me question wtf is wrong with this author.

I paid $2.99 for this and it was so worth it.
So ridiculous. So funny.
I did love the pastry one more BUT this one had three donut shifter and their mate who hates donuts. Talk about enemies to lovers 👀
Please enjoy my favorite quotes:
🍩 Men stink. Some reek of potpourri, and other reek of donuts.
🍩 “It’s been a crazy night out here. First, the chairs tried to run away. Then, the table started crying. And the mugs needed dresses. Now, the espresso machine has… opinions.”
🍩 Nope, the pumpkin spice latte spell is a fated mate spell… and my mate is my worst nightmare. A donut.
🍩 “You guys are the Squishy Shifters.” I frown. Squishy Donut nods. “I’m Andres.” He gestures at Jelly Donut. “That’s York. And that”—he nudges Lump of Dough—“ is Brooks.”

Quick, fun read
This is a quick, fun read, set between Silver Springs and Moonlit Falls, and showcasing every bit of Mia Harlan's unique and twisted sense of humour! Who else could come up with donut shifters?! I'd love to see some of these characters pop up across the rest of the shared universe as cameos.

It was hilarious and quick read. Get yourself ready to take a hilarious ride to this paranormal world filled with a lot of donuts, sugar, curse and a lot more. It is certain to get best of your imagination.

✳️A steamy hilarious read, that's what 'Her Donut Shifters' is. This is my first book of this kind (Reverse Harem) and my experience was 😱😱😱 (shocking will not be the right word, so using this emoji instead).✳️
How I met 'Her Donut Shifters' :
✳️🔹A fun group - a pretty lady - destroyed all our eyes and imagination - by suggesting an weird donut experience🔹
This is what happened. We were innocent, just not anymore.✳️
✳️This book was stupid, but I don't know how, this book brought a lot of bookstagrammers closer. Perhaps that's the reason why this book was written ( Just Kidding 😂). Reading this book is a risk😂. So if you want to take that chance, then I'm sure you'll never be the same anymore 😂. So read with Caution !! By the way hats off to the person who wrote this book. Mia Harlan is awesome 😆✳️
NB: I can't see donuts/doughnuts the same way before 🍩🍩🍩

January 14, 2022This is a thing I was forced to read, and now I have read it and have thought about the logistics of sexy donuts. I guess if food play is your thing, then this is the book for you.

This thing is 27 pages, and the only expectation I went into this with was to laugh, which I did. It’s ridiculous and hilarious in how ridiculous it is. Inanimate shifters who somehow haven’t accidentally been eaten before? Sure, why not? It’s so ridiculous that I had a good laugh. Partly bc of the pacing bc it’s instalove, which you’d expect with this short of a novella haha. One moment Brooks is like my mate is the one who sent those hate letters and tried to get our donut shop closed?! And the next he’s like screw that, who cares, and they all bang. The end.

2.5 Stars
The ridiculous premise, and a few good reviews by GR friends, had me giving this one a try. Sadly, it wasn't a winner for me. It's too short to develop the feelings that I need for a RH, or even for a romance at all. I'm not sure that I understood what the point of the donut shifters even were, and when that is basically what the whole book is about, it just didn't work for me. I will say, the writing was good enough to draw me into the story/world, just not the romance.

A short, sweet (quite literally) and a daft read. Doughnut hater Jetta (FMC) gets more than she bargained for after going to Jewels Cafe. 3 doughnut shifters (yes you heard right, lol) York, Brooks and Andres. The story is a cute one and a bit steamy one. I love these Silver Spring library books so much and this one was just as good as the others in the series

Donuts and Men the perfect combo
What can I say? This book was yummy, sugary, and filled with the creams of our dreams. LORD save me. This author is hilarious and I ate up every word.
All puns aside, this was too short lol I was like...'wait...what? But what about their munchkins?!'

This was such a hilarious read!! I swear I'm definitely not going to see donuts the same way again after reading this story. But I would totally loved the same ability to eat all the donuts I want with out the calories #goals. Overall this was the most ridiculously stupid thing I ever read but I couldn't help but smile when I was reading this. So if your looking for a silly and fun read then I totally recommend that you one click this book.

This book made me laugh. Jetta hates donuts so much she keeps trying to shut down the donut shop that opened down the street. She learns that her fated mates are donut shifters. They help her overcome her distaste of donuts in a creative and enjoyable way.
