This book made me realize I hate books written in the present tense. 😬 I reallyyyyyy struggled to get into the narrative as a result.
This is very insta-love and fated mate, which is usually my jam but this writing style 😅 the dialogue did not flow and the banter was weak 🙃
TLDR;
Basically bad fan fiction.

decent storyline
The storyline was okay but I read a lot and found the present-tense, third-person writing style really distracting. Most novels I read are written in past tense , first or third person, so I kept trying to make it sound right in my mind. I even read a few paragraphs out loud to my spouse to see if it was just me. His answer was that it wasn’t. It sounded odd to him too.
So I struggled with this one, liking the essence of the story but not the oddity of the writing tense. It just came off too me as a bit awkward and in some ways more like reading a script than a novelette.

Not enjoyable
I'm actually puzzled; I LOVE curvy girl, instalove, shifter romance, so why didn't I enjoy this? I got no sense of who Christian and Natasha are, so they never engaged me. I was surprised to discover that apparently I don't like present tense writing (who knew?!). I would have expected this choice to make the reader more engaged in the moment; however, it reads as very pedantic and distancing.

These short, quick reads are amazing and a lot of fun!
This was a new take on shifters than we are used to when it comes to DV Fischer, and she pulled it off perfectly. The chemistry between the characters was intense and strong, and though it was a short read, the story still held a lot of depth and kept my attention.
I can wait to see what else she has in store for us!

5 stars to truth in advertising. This book is 100% everything it claims to be: insta love, sex, no obstacles, little to no plot.
We don’t learn much about the characters and there’s no resistance or obstacle to the relationship. Hot guy, curvy woman, sex, mates. That’s it.
So, 3 stars because it’s written well but is not satisfying because it is so short and lacks depth.

Christian and Natasha
The book is a short book but it puts slot of feelings into it especially how Natasha has to deal with learning about shifter's, and with Christian having to cope with waiting and seeing if Natasha will accept him as her mate, and will give up her old life and move in with him and be his mate, and continue to write her books.

Swoon. Really enjoyed this one. It's a readers dream, well a good one for me anyways lol. An award winning author goes to the mountains to finish her book only to find the existence of shifters and her fated mate.

This is a quick, entertaining UF/PNR storyline that is interesting and engaging. It has great characters, good flow, and is easy to read. I enjoyed it very much. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

EXCELLENT!
I liked all of the characters. I liked how the story moved swiftly along because sometimes there is too much going back-and-forth. Will she or won’t she when we all know she will. Now I’m off to read Book #2, yippee!

3 1/2 ⭐️s
This was an okay/good read. I love my shifter books this one was a little rushed. There wasn’t that much excitement. Kind of like a vanilla shifter book. I hope the next one is a little more exciting.

My Curvy Mate
I feel like she didn't flip out more when she found out Christian was a wild shifter, because she is a writer. Her imagination and the fact that she saw it first hand, made her a bit scared but she knew inside they were meant to be.

Good but short
This was a good read, but soo very short! There is sooo much more where this could have gone and expanded on the cabin details , his feelings and her. More spicy scenes

Cute story
He's the alpha for the pack and wasn't looking for a mate, but she showed up at his door step. She was just trying to get away from her life in the city to finish her book, who knew renting a cabin would change her whole life.

A none believer gets hit square in the heart when he meets his fated mate. A short read but a powerful story leading to his mate, a human.
Grab a glass of wine and settled down in your favorite chair and start reading. You'll feel good once you get started.

Liked this story. It was short and to the point without alot of extra fluff and rabbit trails. The instant attraction and a happy ending is what I look for.

Sweet mini booklet
It’s a well written quick mini book to read in between other series. It’s only a few chapters but it was sweet, and well written.

DNF @ 1%
It was written in 3rd-person present-tense which made it awkward for me so I decided to pass.
