LYNN HAGEN COWBOY FOREVER (Bear County 12)
Simon had his heart ripped out by a man he thought he could trust, a man he'd fallen in love with. But when he finds out that his ex-lover is nothing more than a piece of dirt, Simon decides to swear off men…for a little while, at least. That plan is put to the test when he runs into Mason and Jeremiah.
When both men claim to be his mate, Simon thinks the two are running some sort of scam to get him into bed. He turns them down flat but they won't take no for an answer. When Simon is attacked and ends up in the hospital, Jeremiah and Mason insist on taking Simon home.
As much as Simon wants to kick them to the curb, he slowly finds himself sandwiched between both mountainous men. Can Simon handle two sexy shifters or is his heart too battered to love again?
STORMY GLENN PAPA BEAR’S PUP
Papa Bear was president of the Blue Angels, one of the deadliest biker clubs west of the Mississippi. He answered to no one, going where he wanted when he wanted. When being on the road so much takes its toll on him, Papa Bear heads to the woods to let his bear roam free. Finding a man beaten and covered in blood was never part of that plan but turning his back on the wounded man just wasn’t possible, especially since he suspects the little wolf might be his mate.
Bartholomew ‘Bug’ Matthews was on the run. Finding himself rescued by a burly tattooed biker was not where he expected to be but he wasn’t complaining. Papa Bear was the sexiest man Bug had ever seen. When the handsome man claims him, Bug couldn’t be happier. But his joy is short lived when Papa Bear disappears, leaving Bug alone and in more danger than ever.
When a vicious attack leaves Papa Bear with no memory of his mate, will he lose his one chance to find happiness or will Bug be able to protect himself and the secret he holds?
BELLANN SUMMER FINDING CONN'S HAPPINESS
Leaving the local hangout after a much needed drink, tiger shifter Conn Caspian senses the bloody man stumbling down the street is his mate. Taking him back to his ranch, Conn is delighted with his murmuring little wolf. But danger is coming. Wolf shifter, Aisley Matthews, is on the run after managing to escape his father and the enforcers. Hoping to find a place to hide in a small town, he comes across his mate in the huge tiger shifter Conn Caspian. Trying to do the right thing by leaving doesn’t work when the connection of their souls and Conn’s dominance has Aisley succumbing to the big cat’s mating rituals. Confrontation is coming, and rituals that can kill need to be dealt with. Magic and turmoil abound for these two, yet through it all love blooms and Conn finds his happiness. But, can he keep it?
MARCY JACKS THAT DEEP, RUMBLING PURR
Mateo Colt found something interesting while out for a run. He found a rare golden tiger shifter stuck in a poacher's trap. The problem is that Mateo is a mustang shifter, and the sight of an animal that might very well try to eat him is as unsettling as watching the creature suffer.
He can't leave him to die, however, or to be picked up by poachers, especially when the tiger passes out from the pain, revealing a young man who doesn't look like he could cause harm to anyone.
When he frees the shifter, he brings him home to his ranch where he cares for him, but when the tiger awakens, Ty is suddenly so delectable that Mateo can't keep his hands to himself. The thing that might just make him run away, however, is learning that he is mated to him. Mated for life to a shifter that could kill him if he ever loses control of his wilder side.
Lynn Hagen loves writing about the somewhat flawed, but lovable. She also loves a hero who can see past all the rough edges to find the shining diamond of a beautiful heart.
You can find her on any given day curled up with her laptop and a cup of hot java, letting the next set of characters tell their story.
La historia, si bien fue muy abrupta y de un día para el otro, es muy linda y son tres personajes que siempre aparecían en los demás libros y que hacían que te encariñes con ellos demasiado, asi que agradezco a Lynn por haberlos puesto juntos😂 El único pero que le pongo es que, sigue quedando la duda de qué es lo que le sucede en el brazo a Mason. Nunca se supo si se hizo ver con el Dr Gallagher o qué porque este tema lo vienen acarreando desde el libro de T-Rex creo 🙄
Cowboy Forever (Bear County 12) by Lynn Hagen It was wonderful to see Simon get what he needed and Jeremiah and Mason were perfect mates for him. Plus, I got twins! I love the little cubs, they're so dang cute. Simon was fabulous for these two giant bears and he definitely kept them in line.
Papa Bear's Pup by Stormy Glenn Papa Bear, it turns out, is Travis, Jeremiah's (from the Bear County series') brother, and it's his lucky day when he finds and rescues Bug. Travis is the president of the Blue Angels, the most feared MC west of the Mississippi. Bartholomew, or Bug, had the misfortune of being born the runt of the litter, sickly as a child, and then perverted enough to prefer men. His father is alpha and won't tolerate any of that, so Bug runs, but his dad sends his enforcers to kill him.
Travis and Bug have a chance to mate, and then Travis is viciously attacked by wolves looking for Bug, and left for dead. Travis loses some of his memories and has no idea he's left his mate, his pregnant mate, behind. Poor Bug. He knows something must have happened to Travis but he doesn't know what, so he gets a job to pay the weekly rent at the motel where he last saw Travis.
Oh, the best ending, ever! This is why Stormy Glenn is an all-time favorite! Loved it.
Finding Conn's Happiness by Bellann Summer Aisley, who coincidentally happens to be Bug's brother, has just gotten the same treatment that Bug did, although in Aisley's case, even his dad participated in his torture. Luckily for him, he meets Conn, an alpha tiger shifter, and they are mates. I really loved the shifter lore the author created about tigers and their matings. But, even more, I loved Aisley, with his habit of constantly murmuring what's going through his head - he's adorable!
Such a great addition! Loved it.
That Deep, Rumbling Purr by Marcy Jacks Now Marcy is going to introduce Ty, who I met at the beginning of Conn's story. Conn rescued Ty as an orphaned tiger cub, and raised him. Ty spent a hundred years there, until it was time for him to leave. Ty and ranch work didn't go well together, at least not on Conn's ranch. Unfortunately, Ty is still very young in the tiger world, barely an adolescent, and he has a lot to still learn.
This was an okay story, although it would have been nice if the author had continued the tiger shifter lore from the previous story, versus just using bits and pieces of it.
I am so glad I read this anthology if not I would have missed a visit to Bear County:
Lynn Hagen Cowboy Forever I loved this one. Which is Simon's story from the Bear County series. I was a bit unsure about having this story in an anthology because it is part of an established series and there is so much a person will have missed if they are reading this without having read the earlier Bear County books. It was really good fun. Serious in some places, snarky and hilarious in others. I enjoyed it. 5 stars
Stormy Glenn Papa Bear's Pup Nice enough but far too predictable 2.5 stars
Bellann Summer - Finding Conn's Happiness Was ok 3 stars
Marcy Jacks - That Deep, Rumbling Purr 2 stars
I liked the way the stories linked with each other bringing all the different characters together. I enjoyed Lynn Hagen's story the most but that's because I already follow that series. All in all not a bad set of stories and a nice anthology for those people who like shifter/mpreg stories.
Overall 4 stars but only because of Lynn Hagen's story.
Papa Bear's Pup - 3 out of 5 stars. I enjoyed it well enough.
Finding Conn's Happiness - 3 out of 5 stars. I'm glad we got to see what happened to Aishley. I was hoping he'd get an HEA as well. This world was a little weird though. I'll have to go back and read her previous stories in this series. I'm glad I read this though because now I have a new author to delve into.
That Deep Rumbling Purr - Did not finish. Bored me to pieces.
I was skipping Lynn Hagen story because i don't like mxmxm. Also i don't like Bellans author story, because her writting style was not easy to digest like writing from Stormy Glenn and Macy
The intertwining of the stories didn't work for me because each world has its own 'rules' as I was reading each story I got frustrated because the 'rules' of the worlds didn't match up and the reasons the character gave were kind of flimsy and made little sense. If the stories were not linked I think I'd have liked it better I just couldn't get passed the world rules issue.
Bear County 12: Cowboy Forever by Lynn Hagen - 3/5 Papa Bear's Pup by Stormy Glenn - 3/5 Lubirea Mai 04: Finding Conn's Happiness by Bellann Summers- 2/5 That Deep Rumbling Purr by Marcy Jacks - 1/5
4 connected short stories by 4 from my huge list of favourite authors.i enjoyed each one individually, but Marcy Jacks ended a little too abruptly for me the book didn't seem to have a proper end.
