Were What? by Celia Kyle Lyla's on the run from her pack's omega. Since he's at the bottom of the totem pole in her pack, this should be simple, right? Tell that to her aching lungs and jiggling thighs. She's never been one to go with the flow. So when her alpha orders her to submit to mating with the omega, she's not about to start now. Good thing she runs into (literally) a big hunk of man who can make the scariest of wolves tuck tail and run. Michael's had enough of weres to last a lifetime. After being caught in the middle of a territory war between the werepumas and werejaguars while in Brazil, he sure as hell doesn't want anything to do with the trouble following Lyla. But apparently no one told that to his body.

I love the three different stories. You get to have a little taste into each authors writing.
My favourite was Were What? By Celia Kyle. It was a quick read that packed quite a lot of detail into it. Plus, Michael and Lyla make the perfect couple. The chemistry is intense and the backstory is amazing. Loved it!
Were What? by Celia Kyle Lyla is trying to avoid her arranged mating by an overbearing alpha. Luckily, she literally runs right into her savior. He might not be a member of the pack, but he's able to stare down her would-be mate and protect her. After that massive display of manliness, why wouldn't Lyla fall into his arms? These two pair up in the most unlikely of situations and end up winning against all odds. This was a sexy, quick, fun read.
Blue Moon Rising by Nina Pierce Jayda just wants to get over her cheating jerk of an ex. She wants a one-night stand that will help her put the jerk out of her mind. It seems like an easy task, especially because the shifters in the bar are eyeing her like candy. Only with her luck would she end up in a town that is actually under attack from said cheating ex. Cole ends up getting called to the bar by someone who notices the difference in Jayda, a stranger from out of town. Being the chief of police, he rushes over only to be completely ensnared by the beautiful stranger. The chemistry between these two is crazy, but they seem to go with it, even when some mysterious circumstances should keep them apart. This was full-fledged story, even though it was part of this anthology.
Beauty is a Beast by Tina Holland I'm usually not one for futuristic (or historical) reads, but this was a little bit of both, which made it more palatable for some reason. We're in some sort future world where there's clans and shifters everywhere. Oh, and there's evil skinwalker bad guys running around. Nizhoni and Michael might be true mates, but there is a lot in the way of that actually becoming real.
A three story anthology, Flurry, Fluffy and Wild is a good entertaining read about characters that are … well, furry, fluffy and/or wild...
For the entire review please go to the Best Paranormal & Urban Fantasy Review site on the web, Bitten By Books for the review of Furry, Fluffy and Wild in it's entirety. You won't be sorry.
I didn't read the first story I don't know why. The second story with Jayda was fine but normal. Hottest scene are here though. The third story was confusing and unfamiliar so maybe that's why I'm not too enthusiastic about it. The story...hmm...
