Paranormal Dating Agency Book 7 - STANDALONE

BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance

Curvy Charlotte Marzan just got invited to visit another planet. A shifter planet where her best friend is getting married to a lion king. If that isn’t strange enough, two panty-melting hot guys are looking at this big girl like she’s a piece of cake and they haven’t had dessert in years. She shouldn’t be interested, but…girls just want to have fun, right?

Brecc and Eros need a mate before the Elders force someone on them. They’re getting desperate and in the process hire Gerri to find them a woman. She delivers curvy, outspoken, and gloriously sexy Charlotte. Now they just have to get her to stay. Forever. Simple. Not.

When Charlotte’s visit turns from cool sightseeing to getting her freak on with two shifters, things take a turn for the naughty. She needs to figure out why Brecc is so distant and why the drama with the Dragos. Things escalate to the point she has to do her own growling to be heard. She’s about to realize when two wolves choose a mate, there’s no escape.

Reader Note: This book contains scorching hot sex (the down and dirrrty kind made just for three), adult language (we like some freaky dirty talk), and verbal smack downs. If this is not the kind of stuff you like to read, skip this book. However, if you like dirty, raunchy sex with not one, but TWO sexy as sin wolves on one curvy sarcastic girl, then this is right up your alley. Enjoy!

-Kindle Unlimited, so yay for my wallet. Even if you’re not on KU, it’s still a reasonable price. My personal gauge is $5 or less for a full length novel.

-Serves my shifter/BBW romance fix. Like my personal crack, I cannot stay away from BBW heroine stories with shifters. I just can’t. They usually have a decent message and the mix of the full figured woman with a man who’s more than human gets to me every single time. It’s a fairly quick read and it’s not particularly taxing so you can get through it...which is part of the problem.

-The story needs a little more work. I like the world, which Ms. Taiden had built and there’s little touches that are intriguing. The message is good, but it’s still drawn in shallow strokes when there’s so much potential. The desire to rush out with a new story seems to lead to heroines and heroes who all feel the same. Their looks change a bit, but their personalities aren’t distinctive. I really wish that more time was taken to develop the characters and give a good emotional connection to go along with the relatively positive message.

-It’s a better cover than the last book, The Alion King, where they looked nothing like the characters, but it’s still a bit off. For example, Charlotte’s “dark chocolate skin” and curly hair do not in any way appear to be the woman on the cover, but at least the guys are blond, if not white haired like the characters. I don’t mean they have to be exact replicas of the characters, but for a series that prides itself on giving a good image for the fuller figure woman, the cover models are usually pretty petite. I think abstract covers might do better than images that don’t really fit the story being told. Just my two pennies’ worth.


2 1/4 stars
Issues aside, it was ok. I liked it. Milly Taiden has given a fresh twist on her shifter romance series and I’m in for the ride.

This was a quick and easy listen. I haven't read the other books in the series and while it would have helped me know the previous characters, it wasn't necessary to understand the story. There's a planet (or multiple planets maybe?) of shifters that are looking for mates. Charlotte is found by a matchmaker and brought to her friend's shifter wedding, where she meets her two wolf mates Brecc and Eros. The guys were fun, Eros is sweet and Brecc is a tough alpha male.
The story was pretty basic, but I liked the romance between the three characters and it was fast paced.

I was never a fan of BBW romance, until I picked up a Milly Taiden book. She has a way of writing curvy sexy women, hot sexy shifters, and storylines that are believable. I absolutely love the Paranormal Dating Agency. Let me tell you why? Ms. Taiden has a way of making any women feel good about herself. It sends a positive message that no matter what we look like, we are beautiful, strong, and powerful women. I need a reminder every once and a while. The books can be read as stand-a-lones. Which is fabulous! You can pick up the latest or pick your shifter and off you go into a world of sexy shifters and the women who love them. Last, each book is quick, fun, and sexy.

There’s Snow Escape is book seven in the Paranormal Dating Agency by Milly Taiden.

Our Characters:
Gerri runs the Paranormal Dating Agency and she has a gift for matching up shifters with their mates. This women is humors and fun as ever. Charlotte, is an interesting women. She loves herself for who she is, is in her 30’s (which I love older heroines) and has a sense that something big is about to change in her life, but she does not know what. Her parents broke promises to her all the time, so she has a hard time letting others in or believing them to keep their word. Eros (Omega) & Brecc (Alpha), our wolf shifters need a third to complete their Triad soon or the Elders will pick for them. They want their one mate that completes them. These two are opposites. You can see that Eros is in touch with his feelings, but Brecc is Alpha and was taught to not show or give into them.

Watching these three come together as a couple or Triad and work through their issues was sweet. The sex is hot and steamy as always and will get your blood pumping. I loved all the characters and the storyline. We are also on a new planet with many new types of shifters. This new world is vibrant, full of life and colors. Last the epilogue was to die for.

This is a fabulous series to read, especially if you are looking for something with hot sexy shifters and the women they find to love and who love them back.

Charlotte wants to take a break from the no good men that currently plague her life so she takes a trip with Gerri to her BFF's wedding only to be challenged with something new. Brecc and Eros are feeling the pressure to find their third and request that Gerri helps them out. I loved in this one particularly because Charlotte is divorced and has learned from her past to know what she wants.

This specific video review will be included in the August 2018 wrap-up.

I do like this series, however, at this point all the heroines are pretty much the same chick. I like them, totally sassy and fairly secure in their curves. I just wish they had a bit more variety to them.

Here we see Charlotte, bff to the last heroine Bella, she is coming for a visit and looking for snowy adventure. Turns out she has a pair of wolfy mates waiting for her here in this world. The banter with them is fun and the story flows nicely. Apart from it feeling similar to other stories in the series, it was a fun read. I did have a few great laugh out loud moments!!

The smexy is uber hawt and oh so delicious!! Panty soaking kind of read!! Man, you need to have a bucket of ice cream, tub of ice water and a snuggle buddy handy! Good lord it is a read you should not do in public!
The narrator Lauren Sweet has been with the series since the beginning, she is a real pleasure. She has a great way with the voices and even manages a yummy grumble for the men. The energy she instills in the read helps keep the story moving along.

So far I am invested in the series, I do hope things change up a little, but I doubt I will stop reading them any time soon. Such quick fun smexy reads!

Woof Woof! Where can I find me a couple of wolf shifter mates?
I completely adore this series from Milly Taiden. She brings each book to a whole new level. She's so descriptive that you feel like you are actually there.
I love how sassy and strong Charlotte is. She's been hurt in the past but no more. She wont let anyone bring her down. Brecc and Eros are a perfect pair. They balance each other really well and Charlotte fits them perfectly. AND OMG is the sex smokin' hot with a side of wet panties!!!
The PDA is one of my favorites of Milly's and I'm super excited for the next story! All of her books are magically delicious... oh wait that's Lucky Charms, but its fitting for this series too!

I love the new shifter planet, it's super. A very enjoyable story, it's exciting, colourful & sexy. Love the shifters they are hot as hell. Gerri is doing a cracking job finding mates for these guys & its definitely not a easy ride for them.

Again with no apology and these guys definitely needed to use a lot more words.

This was a very good story. I liked Charlotte, Brecc and Eros and their story was enjoyable.

Charlotte is a BBW and a writer. She grew up in a well off family but her parents were cold and didn't pay much attention to her and her sister. Charlotte was married at one point but the guy was only interested in her money and treated her terribly. Since then Charlotte hasn't been able to find anyone that made her feel like they really wanted her for her (curves and all).

Brecc and Eros are the Alpha and Omega pair that rule over the wolves on the shifter planet of Aurora. Brecc is the warrior and isn't very in touch with his feelings while Eros is the one that oversees the emotional well-being of their people (so he's much more emotionally open). They share women and are having a hard time finding the right woman to be the third of their triad.

Charlotte is the BFF of Bella (the heroine of book #6, The Alion King) and when Gerri tells her that Bella is getting married to the King of the planet, Charlotte decides to visit so she can be there for the wedding. Brecc and Eros are running out of time to find their mate (before the the elders attempt to force them to mate some whomever they chose) and so they asked Gerri to help them. When they see Charlotte at the wedding, they instantly know that she's the one. The wolves live in the mountains and Charlotte loves cold weather so Gerri arranges for Charlotte to go visit the mountains with Brecc and Eros. There's a mutual attraction between the three but while Eros is attentive and sweet, Brecc's inability to show his feelings easily does cause some issues. Charlotte does see some hope though because as they get to know each other, she senses that Brecc is like her, lonely and longing for love underneath a layer of defensiveness. There's a bit of drama as they try to come to terms with things and convince Charlotte to be their mate and complete their triad but it's pretty minor overall. The story ends with the trio working things out and getting their HEA together.

This was a very enjoyable story. I liked Charlotte as she's nice but also strong and not afraid to push for what she needs. Eros and Brecc were good heros (especially once Brecc stopped trying to suppress his feelings). The story goes quickly but it's still a very good story and I'd recommend it (and the series). :)

I just wanna hug the Milly! *grins* back when I read the first book in this series I was hooked. This seventh one, just affirms why I love reading Milly Taidens work.

Her characters even though shifters and sassy women, they are easy to relate to.Milly puts in a situation that has witehr happened in someone's real life or has the possibility of happening.

The curvy sassy women, that steps up and wont back down, the gorgeous sexy males who go out of their way to show the love of a thick curvy female.

A new world for Charlotte, a female for a pair of wolves, one being less emotional than the other. When they see Charlotte they know she is theirs. But it wont be a walk in the park for Brecc and he just may lose that best thing for him, Eros is the calm one, the one in touch with his emotions. He is a perfect balance for his best friend.

They need a triad though, or the elders will take matters in their own hands.

The story was fun and enteraining loved the word play and teasing. The awe felt by charlotte as she discovered new things. Milly definitly brought some heat to the scenes.

Once again A book I recommend its a stand alone, but you will love the ones before if you havent read them. Enjoy

Review

I really like books with curvy heroines' and Milly Taiden does a great job with bringing that aspect into her works. There's Snow Escape is no exception. As always, a great read. :)

[Tanielle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really wanted Charlotte to give Brecc and Eros a dose of their own medicine in this one. I thought for sure she would push them to the very edge, Brecc at least. The two actually made a really good pair to balance them all out. Charlotte seemed a bit flaky though, I wanted her to really force them into changing a bit for her, even if that meant going after her back on earth. Stories seem a bit predictable still though, good thing they’re free because with that and the short reads, I doubt I’d still be interested.

[Diana Rising · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book. In the last two books the paranormal dating agency and taken ladies to another planet to meet alien shifters--the original shifters to be their mates. It was a lot for the human women to understand and accept--everything was different, but it turns out great. Alien wolf shifters in the snowy mountains are even sexier than the wolf shifters on earth. Plus, we got to see Bella, the heroine of the previous book, get married. So romantic!

[Luzmaria Morneault-welton · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love this series. It's a fun, hot, steamy enjoyable read. I really loved the story of these three. I only wish the story was longer so we could get to enjoy more of the story. I really wanted to get to know the three of them more. I've loved all the Milly Taiden books I've read so far. I really hope she writes more shifter series like this one, they're great reads.

[Nancy · Rating 2 out of 5]

My rating for this story may have suffered because I don't think I was in the mood for a ménage story but to be honest I didn't feel as this was an equal relationship. I felt Eros was the "lesser" one in the relationship. I just could not buy the "love" in this story.
It's not that it's a bad story, I think it's just trying to all happen too quickly.
I like the idea of the smart technology.

Charlotte Marzan has been invited to another planet - one containing shifters - in order to attend her best friend's wedding to a real-life lion king. She may be curvy but there are two really hot guys looking at her as if they have not eaten in years and she is the ideal food. She really shouldn't be interested, but she is there to have fun! Wolf shifters Brecc and Eros need to find a single mate to share before the pack elders impose one on them. In desperation they ask PDA's Gerri Wilder to find them one - after all, she seems to always be able to deliver outspoken, curvy and incredibly sexy women from Earth and that is Charlotte - they just need to find a way to get her to stay forever - should be simple surely? Can Charlotte work out why Brecc is so distant and get him to open up and why there is so much drama with the neighbouring group of dragon shifters? Will Charlotte be able to growly loud enough to be heard after all when two wolves chose a mate there is no escape?

This was a great story that had lots of drama, tension, stubbornness and determination between the three of them. Thank goodness she was so determined that she was able to get them to see sense. Well written, it was a very enjoyable read. Contains explicit sexual content.

I really enjoy these stories. They are short and sweet. My only complaint is why can't a short skinny girl get picked. They need love too.

[Racy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this book. I used whispersync with this book and totally loved the story and the narrator.

Charlotte was super sassy. She was sick of men running all over her. She had went through a divorce and had parents that did not care for her. The things about Charlotte was she is tender hearted and truly wants to help the problem with the wolves and the dragons.

I loved Becc and Eros in the previous book. They had bothered Gerri about a mate and now her she is bring them the prefect mate. This is not going to be as easy as they think. They will have to learn to slow things down and get to know Charlotte.

I loved Becc’s sister. Truly wanted what was best for her brother. I think she was excited to see him and Eros with a future mate. Things are still on line.

I loved Razzy in this book. She was a young dragon shifter. She was one that did not think before she done things but she did find a special place in Charlotte’s heart.

This was a great story and glad I got a chance to read the book.

[Mindy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really good story. The characters, Breck, Eros and Charlotte, are a great pairing. I really enjoyed their story. It was a bit different in the sense that the girl wasn't gonna let the two alpha males have their way without her having something to say about it. I liked being able to go back to Aurora, the shifter home planet. I am enjoying this serious and look forward to more, well done to the author.
As for the narrator, she did a good job, for the most part. There were a few places where she said the wrong name and there was a part where it sounded like her mic might have gone out and caught background conversation or something. The words I heard were 'Sounds gone out.' Not sure what that was , but other than that, she did a good job.
Looking forward to listening tot he rest of the series.

[Simcyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

The books in this series seems to be basically the same, but they are a pleasant read. Also short, which is good since there is little story to them. The hot scenes are many.

One thing I didn't like about this particular book is that Charlotte basically comes on and kisses one of the boys even when she thought that they were a gay couple. If they were a couple why was she kissing on them? It's like being the other woman in a married couple. Yes, the guys didn't lean that way, but she didn't know that at the time.

Like all the books thus far... the sex is basically from the first moment they meet and is thereafter frequent.

Awesome story about two alien wolf shifters finding the third mate for Triad

Brecc it's the alpha of his wolf pack and Eros is his Omega. They need a woman to complete their Triad.

Charlotte is Bella's friend, who is marrying the King and is having his baby. The wolves know Charlotte is their mate. How will they convince her that she is their mate?

The characters are unique, alien and sexy. The plot is convincing the woman to love and mate them. Simple! Not on your life! That's what I love about this book is funny and tragic at the same time. It takes a strong woman to convince a stubborn wolf to not let his past rule him.

Highly recommended.

I am totally addicted to this series! Although these 2 heroes didn't come across as the brightest in the last book, where they kidnapped the queen-to-be, I really liked them in this book. These books are fast, fun & steamy. Not a whole lot of character development happening so it's a little hard to really LOVE the characters. I feel like the bulk of the book is spent on the female character so we understand her a bit better than the guys. Menage is one of my favorites so of course, this book is one of my favorites in this series so far.

It Takes Two

It takes two…..two sexy alphas to win Charlotte’s heart and soul. Really enjoyed this book. It was my first time reading a novel written by Ms Taiden but it certainly will not be my last. Although the story is short, it was well written, sexy and to the point. Generally I avoid short stories as I much prefer novels that are dense with an emphasis on character content but this one was hotter than hot. Looking forward to reading the rest of her paranormal shape shifter series.

GERRI, GERRI, GERRI..............!


Love all of the PDA books featuring the ever resourceful and polished ,proper and mysterious GERRI Wilder. Molly writes romances that are not just sexy, heck there's enough steam coming off these books that if they were on paper, it would be instant pulp! But she also adds a good dose of humor and fantastical characters who go through that wonderful but always confusing time of falling in love and lust with their special mates. More PLEASE.

[Mindy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story. I'm loving the Alpha Triads of the series. Brecc and Eros are the perfect counters for Charlotte. She's a woman who is emotionally closed off due to a really bad ex husband. What better way to turn her frown into a smile than to give her two very hot shifters that love everything about her and want to worship her. I also like the bit of backstory you get about the three in this one that helps the characters development along. I can't wait to read the next book.

[Bronwyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another quick addition to the series that was easy to read but probably one I wont need to revisit.
The chemistry between the 3 was ok and the intimate scenes were certainly steamy but I didn't really feel the connection when they had their clothes on for some reason.
Lots of interesting secondary character but after the 7th book in the series it is starting to feel a little same story just different character names.
Overall an ok story with no real wow moments for me.

Brecc & Eros & Charlotte

Wao. Milly Taiden did it again. Another great read that tells the story of divorced human Charlotte that comes to Aurora to be at her best friend's wedding. There she catches Brecc and Eros attention. Brecc is alpha of a wolves pack and Eros is his omega both link by a bond that needs a mate to complete a triad. Naughty language and passion that will boile red hot. Highly recommend it

Story review: Eh. Whatevs. The frame of a Paranormal Dating Agency is getting old. Ruby Dixon’s fifth book in the fire blood dragons series will be out any day now; me reading this PDA stuff is just to kill time.

DNF @p. 51/163. Writing is staid, stilted and lousy. And the plot moves are so obviously bulky and overdone I can’t even pretend to go along. Finished with this author.

“[A] lone figure appeared at the back of the hall entrance. Brecc’s heart flip flopped. He fought hard to push his wolf under control. The animal yanked and pushed for release from his skin cage.
