BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance
Miranda Colilla needs a mate. Fast. This curvy lioness wants a man she can bend to her will, who will stay out of her business, and let her lead like the alpha she is. She needs that mate urgently before the lions in her pride think she’s going to hand the reins over to one of them and let them tell her what to do. Not in this lifetime. When a wolf saves her hide, there's more than just gratitude sparking between them.
Kasen Steel’s tired of women throwing themselves at him. As alpha of his pack, he can have any woman he wants. Problem is, he doesn't want any of them. He wants a chase. He wants someone who isn’t taken in with his position. A chance meeting with a hot as hell lioness makes him want a close encounter of the naked kind with her. Wait, he’s already naked.
Kasen knows Andi’s perfect for him. She's already making him crazy by denying their attraction and the fact she's his mate. The hunt is on. Unfortunately for him, proving to Andi they're right for each other is just one of the problems facing this alpha. Keeping her alive, when someone wants her dead, is another. But Kasen isn't going to sit by and let anyone harm her. Now that he's found his smart-assy mate, he isn’t letting go. Whether she likes it or not.
Reader Note: So you like too-hot to handle, off the charts hot sex, dirty talking, humor, violence and lots of roaring fights, you say? Then you've come to the right place. This book is all about a sassy plus-sized alpha lioness who knows what she wants and a hot, smooth talking alpha wolf who likes to get his way. There's serious violence, crazy people all over, ass kicking and sex so smoking hot it'll feel like Florida in July while you read. If this is not the kind of stuff you like to read, skip this book. However, if you like sarcasm and hot sex with no filter, this is just your thing. Enjoy!

All Kitten Aside
First new narration!! I liked it, sometimes I felt like he paused too long but whatever it was a nice change.
Now, this is the kind of story I remembered reading. She has sass and he isn’t one to back down. I loved it. More like this one, please!
I am a fan of Gerry and I want more of her matchmaking

So I had to skip book 10 in the series and I hope I didn't miss anything. Although, the narrator for the books have changed, instead of the female narrator it is now a male narrator and the audible files have added music in between the chapters which was a little annoying but then I got use to the sound of his voice and the silly music to enjoy this dual animal story. Miranda is the alpha female of her group and Casen is the alpha male of his group and the two of them need to work to find their balance because their animals are attracted to each other. It was a fun, sexy, thrilling story despite the changes I stated earlier.
This specific video review will be included in the August 2018 wrap-up.

This was an enjoyable story. I liked Kasen and Andi and liked the story overall. I will say that the story is supposed to be over 200 pages long and I finished it in around 4 hours of reading, something normally accomplished with a book more around 150 pages or less. I did notice one editing issue around the 55% mark but outside of that, I didn't notice any other obvious editing problems with the book.
Andi is an Alpha lioness and the prima (leader) of her pride. Her parents died recently and although she'd been basically running the pride before, now it's all on her shoulders. The men in her pride are getting restless and she needs to find a mate to settle them down. Andi has decided that she needs a meek and subservient male as a mate because she's afraid of having her position usurped by a strong male.
Kasen is the alpha of his wolf pack and runs some businesses on the side. He's perfectly happy with his life and doesn't really want a mate but his wolf is pushing him to mate and have kids. What's worse is Kasen's mother has decided he needs to mate and has taken it upon herself to find the perfect subservient and pureblood mate, regardless of whether Kasen actually wants her or not.
Kasen is tired of the local women throwing themselves at him because he's a rich alpha so he calls Gerri, a shifter matchmaker he's heard of. Gerri agrees to help him out and just around the same time, she gets a call from Andi. She hooks them up for a date even though they're not anything like the descriptions of what the other wanted for a mate. Kasen is surprised when he meets Andi but Gerri has a 100% track record so he's willing to give it a chance. Andi on the other hand, is so unwilling it's ridiculous. She's determined that she needs a weak mate and won't even get to know Kasen at all before declaring him unviable and telling him to get out.
Andi goes to talk to Gerri again (asking for a new hookup) and Gerri talks to her and seems to convince her that having a weak mate would be bad for her and she should give Kasen a chance. However, as soon as she leaves, Andi seems to have forgotten all her and Gerri talked about because she goes back to pushing Kasen away again and insisting she needs a weak mate. Kasen isn't going to be pushed away that easily and goes about trying to get her to give him a chance. He makes some progress but it's not easy. While Kasen is working on Andi accepting him, they run into some other issues that indicate that someone may be after Andi. There's some drama and danger but things do get worked out and Andi and Kasen end the story starting a HEA together.
This was an enjoyable story. I liked Andi but found her insistence on a weak mate to be annoying, especially after she seemed to see the light and then relapsed. Outside of that, I liked her alright. I really liked Kasen...I was happy that he was willing to look past his preconceived notions and take a chance on something better than he expected to have. The story felt a bit rushed and there were some parts of the story that just didn't seem to fit well IMO but overall, I liked the story and plan to read more of the series. :)

All Kitten Aside delivers a fast-paced humorous sexy adventure; between a wolf and lioness.
These two are perfectly imperfect for one another. Both Miranda and Kasen are strong Alphas, both looking for something opposite, but Gerri knows exactly what these two need, each other. Even with the species conflicts the explosive passion between these two can’t be denied. It was sweet and funny watching Kasen win his mate. One of my favorite moments is their first real date, so many things go wrong that you can’t help, but laugh. It was also nice that Kasen doesn’t squash Miranda’s leadership, like so many of her other suitors. Their is also a little mystery on who is killing off some of Miranda’s Pride. I have to say I was surprised and didn’t see who the killer is until it’s revealed.
The only thing that I did’t like was Miranda’s Pride. Once her parents pass everyone is forcing her to choose a mate and the males think that they can force her into a mating. It just felt wrong.
True to form Ms. Taiden delivers several funny, sweet, and intense moments; between our soon to be couple that you can’t help, but enjoy the adventure. This was another great read in the PDA series.

Milly hits another one out the ball park with this one. I was lucky enough to get it gifted to me in exchange for an honest review. I was all over the chance to read another one of Milly Taidens book, her style and the fact that she shows curvy women all kinds of love.
what happens when alpha's are pushed to find mates? Well here's Geri to the rescue! I so love this lady I think we could all use a Geri in our lives. We have a sexy kick butt prima that is being pressured by the males to pick one of them, cuz a female "needs" a male to run a pride. yeah her and I rolled our eyes at that one.
a sexy alpha has women lined up for him and is being poked and prodded to find a mate that fits within special rules for the new alpha female. Its all about being seen and not heard, oh lets not forget about breeding.
All Kitten Aside was alot of fun, the sass the sex, the interaction Loved it! its a stand alone in the series so go grab it I recommend it. Enjoy

I hate the narrator this guys sucks why change something that was so good and entertaining. I like this series until this book and I will tell you I normally do not like fantasy but I like this series mostly because of the narrator she made the stories entertaining. This narrator is boring and god who's idea to put music in between the chapters is a big fail. It is annoying. I am so disappointed in this bring back the other narrator. I never understand why change something that works. You can read reviews all of my reviews I normally do not say anything about the narrator but it kills the story. The tone is off for the liveliness that Lauren Sweet brings to the series. Now that I ranted about the story.
Miranda and Kasen are perfectly imperfect for one another. They are strong Alphas, both looking for something opposite, but Gerri knows exactly what these two need, each other.

I did not like that Miranda is being forced to find a mate by the male members of her pride pushing her for this. She is the leader why does the males in her pride making this decision this makes her look like a weak leader.

What happens when two alphas are forced to finds mates they're not sure they want?. They go to Gerri of course.
Andi aka Miranda, Prima of the yellow tail pride is in need of a mate and pronto. Being alpha of the pride is hard enough without the pressure of coming into heat and trying to fight off all the males who want a piece of the alphadom. She's fierce independent and definitely not in need of any man so she pretty much fights it tooth and nail. I understand why she did though.. it's hard to find a man who's willing to rule with you not over you.
Kasen steel alpha of steel claw pack is also in need of a mate because his mother is trying to set him up with any docile wolf out there. Kasen thinks he want someone quiet who'll sit back and let him take charge yet he wants the chase. He doesn't want someone chasing him like some power hungry females. I love him though!. He may not of wanted an alpha but he sure wasn't fighting it when he found her. I love that he didn't push her for control, he didn't expect her to be a mouse he just wanted her to give them a chance. He was loving and strong. Sweet but firm and boy do I need one of him in my life.
The story was great. Seemless from start to finish with a little of everything to keep it interesting. The chemistry between the H/h was off the charts and the side characters kept things entertaining as usual. Another great job Milly.

Wow….this isn’t right. Once you’ve met or even smelled your mate, you shouldn’t be able to get turned on or excited by another. But he apparently was going to settle for someone in his pack and screw her all night when he and his mate had an issue. So wrong. Another woman shouldn’t even be an option because he should be completely impotent with anybody but his mate. And he doesn’t deserve her for even thinking about picking another and screwing her. Disgusting. Disgrace to mate romances.

Oh what a book! Only Milly Taiden can spin a story like this! A kitty and A wolf the chemistry she puts in this is addicting and leaves you wanting more in her hot series of Paranormal Dating Agency the awesome Characters she creates make you love them all the more. There are no words for her amazing match maker Gerri Wilder she makes the series with her whit and humor and you just cant help but want the next book to see what she hooks up next!
“Where’s the card?” Spike frowned. He glanced around the office. “What card?” “The one you mentioned about a matchmaker, Gerri something or other.” “Ah, yes. Gerri Wilder.” Spike nodded and shoved his hand into his pocket. “She matched my cousins. Their mother, much like yours, tried to interfere, but Gerri gave them the perfect mate.” If his mother wanted to play hardball, then Kasen would play.”
Miranda Colilla she needed a mate! As Prima of her pride she has had enough of the males around her and needs them to respect her as the leader she is. After calling Gerri Wilder she thinks she is going to get just what she needs a strong male cat to help rule her pride what Gerri gives her is what she needs.
Kasen Steel has had enough of his mother and her match making idea's. He knows one thing it will not be anyone in his clan. So to stop her meddling he calls the well know match maker of all to get the one to love his pups Gerri Wilder of the paranormal dating agency. Once he meets Andi there is no doubt she has found his perfect mate but how can he make her see that.
“He was big…all over. The lioness in her purred, and she was disgusted with the animal. Looks were not everything. So what if he looked like a sex god? That meant nothing. Oh, it means a lot. A body like that, I can ride him like the stallion he is. Stupid cat.

As usual, Taiden delivers a humorously sexy read with larger than life alphas and women who have enough strength and sass to match them. Miranda and Kasen were perfectly imperfect for one with another. You know...on account of him being a "dog" and her a "cat". Species conflicts aside, the explosive passion between them would not be denied. It was nice to see a female alpha in her own right. Kasen never tried to squash Miranda's leadership, which so many of her intended suitors would have done, but he lead beside her in a supportive role. Miranda was strong, had her own mind, and even took Kasen's mother through her paces, which was awesome. But, true to form, there is A LOT of humor in this book. Kasen and Miranda's first date at his house will have you laughing so hard that you'll be in tears. Another great read from in the PDA series.
July 7, 2016
This is just the newest book in Milly Taiden's smart, sassy, save female heroine's looking, or not looking as the case may be for a mate, tbrough Gerrit Wilder's Paranormal Dating Agency. Miranda thinks she wants someone who will stand one step behind her and allow her to rule her pride as she sees fit. Karen wants a challenge, not some wolf who will be docile and allow his mother to walk all over her. Nothing goes as Karen and Miranda plan, but as usual Gerrit is right on target, but someone wants Miranda dead, is it one of her pride ? One of Kasen's pack ? Or an unknown entity via for both their spots as alphas?. Read this topsy-turvy, twisty, hot as Hades book that once again proves why Milly Taiden's PDA is the cream of the paranormal romance crop !! 5☆'s and can't wait for book 12 !!

Fun, spunky read
*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for posting my honest opinion*
It's been a while since I've read a Milly Taiden book, and I forgot how much I enjoy them. They're always fun, hot reads featuring characters with spunk. The writing is solid and the book well edited, which is sometimes lacking in shifter romances. I liked the two alpha approach, especially Andi's fierce independence. Kasen was a great alpha male, without being cliche. There were quite a lot of humorous moments and even some suspense , which made it even more enjoyable. I recommend this book if you like shifter stories and want an entertaining, lighter read.

I really enjoy this series! Ms. Taiden has again created a couple that seem so unevenly matched that you at first want to continue reading just to see how she pulls it off. Kasen and Miranda are both alphas and leaders of their own pack/pride. They each have similar request for mates, which would totally make them incompatible. When all is said and done it is obvious they are exactly what each other needs. I enjoyed the inclusion of the pushy mothers and how their roles were critical to the story.
July 8, 2016
I"m a little late reading this but as always I loved it and Milly definitely delivered. Even though its fake I love how she has species crossing. She shows both sides of each character human/ shifter, cat/wolf, human/alien and how they work together in "crossing borders" and making stuff work correctly. This day and age with so much violence its nice that you can read about semi peace with mixed couples.

Alpha liones and Alpha wolf where will this lead??
Miranda alpha lioness with clan issues and Kasen alpha wolf with mommy issues. This one was off the usually path of BBW human with strongs sexy shifter. This one gave us both strong shifters that needed more than they had and had to fight to get it. One clan wanting to dicate to the alpha. The other clan mommy wanting to orchastrate the direction of a pack she no longer was the lead of.

Another gradual improvement in the series in regards to character and storytelling, but not a fan of this one overall.
I did have one major issue though, the guy who attempted to rape the female lead and who put together a posse to rape a 14 year girl, faces no consequences and as a bonus is given an off page happily ever after! WTF!!!

Still listening to the story, but I had to pop in and say this. I own this book in ebook format, but I joined Audible Escape and found the series is part of the program, so I decided to give them all a listen. The first 11 stories were done by Lauren Sweet and, while it took a little while to get acquainted to the voices she chose for each character, especially Geri Wilder, I enjoyed her version of the stories. Now, I'm a little over an hour into this 5 hour story, narrated by Joshua Macrae, and I'm not sure I'm gonna make it to the end. His version of the voices is different, and not in a good way. Sure, his guy voices are a bit better, because he's a guy, but his female voices are so not female enough. Also, he tends to read everything with a breathy tone, over exaggerating every word, pausing far too often during the story. I'm gonna try to finish listening to the story, maybe it will get better. Hopefully, it will, because I love the PDA series. Ok, going back to listen to the rest. I'll let ya'll know how it goes.
Finished listening, so here's my final thoughts on this one.
I give the story and author, Milly Taiden, 5*s. The author wrote a phenomenal story. This was a first in the series, because both the male and female were shifters. Though, there was more to it than that, because they were form two different species. A female lioness Prima (Alpha) and a male Wolf Alpha. It was interesting to see how these two figured out how to work with each other and their individual groups. I will say that the male, Kasen, was a bit better at it than the female, Andi. I enjoyed seeing these two come together and I look forward to seeing what the author does next in the PDA world.
As for the narrator, I will have to say he gets 3*s. I couldn't get past his voice. It's breathy every second of the story, no matter what's happening. It's like every word is said in the midst of passion and not in a good way. Sometimes his voice sounded like Stephen Moyer's character, Bill Compton, from True Blood. Again, not in a good way. He seems to over exaggerate moments that really shouldn't have been and didn't put enough enthusiasm behind others.
Now, you know why this one only got 4*s, because I averaged between the two different ratings.
Off to listen to the next book!

I am so enjoying this series. I have to say with this book I laughed so hard. There so many parts in this book I found so funny. Oh, don’t worry Milly Taiden does not disappoint when it comes to the steamy parts as well.
This book does have an audio and I did listen to the audio while following along with the ebook. I do wish this would of had whispersync feature. I did like listen to the narrator but was not crazy about the music that played to show a new chapter was beginning. For me just saying the name of the chapter is good enough for me. This book is a standalone so do not worry if you have not read any of the other books in the series.
Miranda aka Andi had went to Gerri Wilder about her services on finding a mate. Funny Andi thought she knew what she wanted. She wanted a man that would stay quite and not interfere with her Alpha duties. She was the Lioness of her Pride. She did have some problem with some of the men in her pride since all wanted to mate her.
I really did like Kasen. Kasen’s mom not so much. Kasen was this Alpha wolf shifter. He was ready to find his mate. He had pressure from his pack, his mom, and the females in the pack wanting to be chosen. Kasen wasn’t looking for love and I bet when he went to Gerri he never of dreamed that he would find just that.
Anything that could go wrong did go wrong. The more Kasen tried to win Andi the more that went wrong. I love how Kasen was not this guy that was prideful. He did not care to admit is mistakes.
These two were truly perfect for each other. Even though Kasen can see it Andi was fighting it. Kasen will have his work cut out for him. I did love how Kasen did not want to change Andi. He want to be a mate the worked with her and help her. He loved that she was strong and loved her pride. He truly had great respect for her. There is danger in the air and he must do what he can to protect his future mate.
This was a great story and glad I got a chance to read it.

Miranda Colilla needs a mate. Fast. This curvy lioness wants a man she can bend to her will, who will stay out of her business, and let her lead like the alpha she is. She needs that mate urgently before the lions in her pride think she’s going to hand the reins over to one of them and let them tell her what to do. Not in this lifetime. When a wolf saves her hide, there's more than just gratitude sparking between them.
Kasen Steel’s tired of women throwing themselves at him. As alpha of his pack, he can have any woman he wants. Problem is, he doesn't want any of them. He wants a chase. He wants someone who isn’t taken in with his position. A chance meeting with a hot as hell lioness makes him want a close encounter of the naked kind with her. Wait, he’s already naked.
Kasen knows Andi’s perfect for him. She's already making him crazy by denying their attraction and the fact she's his mate. The hunt is on. Unfortunately for him, proving to Andi they're right for each other is just one of the problems facing this alpha. Keeping her alive, when someone wants her dead, is another. But Kasen isn't going to sit by and let anyone harm her. Now that he's found his smart-assy mate, he isn’t letting go. Whether she likes it or not.
Heather's Notes
I thought wolf's had triads. I hate when an author changes something but doesn't explain why. The book was ok, Andi was a bit ridiculous in her I can't mate with an alpha wolf because he will take over. Also why did his mom have to be the bad guy, we Moms have enough problems. Still the book was not bad. I will continue reading them.

Lion shifter Miranda Colilla (Andi) needs to find a mate fast before the lions in her pride drive her mad all thinking that she will just hand over the reins to them. It's not going to happen - she is determined to have someone who will not interfere and will let her lead in her own way. Wolf shifter Kasen Steel also needs a mate fast before his mother drives him insane with her insistence on the type of woman who is right for both him and the pack. Then in a chance encounter, Kasen intervenes when a group of male lions all gang up on Andi and she becomes all he can think about especially what he would like to do to her when naked. Kasen knows she is the perfect mate for him as much as she tries to deny it, and so keeping her alive becomes his new obsession (along with showing her they are meant to be together). Can they resolve the various problems that are trying to keep them apart and have their happily ever after?
This was a great story with several sub-plots of actions or events that were conspiring to keep them apart. I liked the way that each roadblock was cleared over time as they worked out a way to make a mating between a lioness and a wolf work out. Their dedication to each other at the end was really sweet and worth all the troubles earlier on in the story. Well written it was very enjoyable. Contains some explicit sexual content.

PURRR-FECTLY DELIGHTFUL !!!
Title: All Kitten Aside
Series: Paranormal Dating Agency
Designation: Book Eleven of Series, Standalone, NO Cliffhanger
Author: Milly Taiden
Reading Platform: Kindle Unlimited
My Rating: FIVE DELICIOUSLY CUTE STARS*****
WOW! All Kitten Aside is the eleventh and most recent fun-filled treat in the Paranormal Dating Agency Series by best-selling author Milly Taiden and it's purrr-fectly delightful! I've been a Milly Taiden fan for several years and never tire of reading her laugh-out-loud, sexy romps. Several years ago, a friend asked if I'd ever read any of Milly Taiden's book. Quite honestly, I had never heard of Taiden but my friend recommended that I try her work, particularly Taiden's Paranormal Dating Agency Series. I decided to heed her advice and immediately navigated to Amazon and purchased Twice the Growl, the first release the PDA series. And folks, best advice EVER! Once I started reading, I simply could not stop. I chuckled, cackled, snorted and sniffled through the entire book and SHAZAM.....I was instantly hooked and after only one book, became a loyal Milly Taiden fan for life. And she never disappoints! Taiden's books are always well crafted, imaginative and filled to the brim with danger, drama, angst, always an abundance of humor and of course, let's not forget the dreamy romance and steamy sex! And All Kitten Aside is no exception! This story is a cute, imaginative and well crafted full length standalone with a beautifully written third person narrative. We have perspectives from both protagonists, wolf-shifter Alpha Kasen Steel and lioness Prima Andi Colilla, as well as an occasional voice from none other that the owner and founder of the Paranormal Dating Agency, matchmaker extraordinaire Gerri Wilder. The dialogue is smart, natural, well executed and flows effortlessly. But without a doubt, my favorite component is Taiden's cast of delightfully engaging characters. If you're looking for a delightfully entertaining, fast-paced paranormal romance filled to the brim with danger, drama, angst, humor, heated attraction, fiery passion, sweet romance and lots of dreamy sexcapades, then this is most assuredly the book for you!
Beautiful, curvaceous lioness Gigi Colilla, Prima of the Yellow Tail Pride, desperately needed a man and she needed him now, but not just any man.....she needed the right man, one who could stand by her but not get in her way. One who would recognize that she was the Prima and be comfortable knowing she's in charge...not him. The Elders of her Pride were growing more impatient and all the unmated males, as well as some of the mated ones, were becoming increasingly troublesome, all vying for the position as her mate. Plus, Kellan Thorn, Prime of the Black Rock Pride was trying to steal their resources, their river, and their land by forcing her into a mating him, but he was nothing more than a blackhearted bully, one she could never love. Despite her responsibilities to her pride, she wanted a real relationship based on love and respect like her parents had. It was her duty to protect her people who were much more than her pride; they were now the only family she had left since losing her mother, father, and grandmother in a boating accident two years earlier. Now everyone counted on her to do what was best for the pride. She knew she could be the great leader her parents had groomed her to be, but the one little hiccup in her plan was finding a suitable mate. Unfortunately, none of the males in her pride appealed to her. And to make matters worse, her heat was quickly approaching. She needed a mate. No, she needed a miracle! Or the help of her grandmother's friend, Gerri Wilder of the Paranormal Dating Agency.
Kasen Steel, Alpha of the Steel Claw Pack, was sick and tired of his mother's constant interference, and especially her nonstop matchmaking, trying to force him into a loveless mating with a 'suitable candidate with good bloodlines'. He was also fed up with all the women in his pack throwing themselves at him. They never left him alone. Sadly, all they were really after was the power that came with being the Alpha's wife. He could get his own woman but he wanted one who would give him a run for his money. After all, he was a wolf and a wolf lived for the thrill of the chase. He didn't buy into this destined mates crap. He wanted a female he had to work to get, one who would challenge him, one would love him for....well, him and not be bound by destiny. It wasn't that he was against mating; it was just he and his wolf had yet to find a woman they wanted. But the more he thought about it, the more he came to realize a mate could actually solve all his problems. It would get his mother, all his exes plus all the females of the pack off his back for good! It would also satisfy his wolf's nonstop raging desire to sire pups. Yup, it would be a win-win! He just needed a little help and not from his mother with her ideas on proper breeding, lineage and being sweet and docile. It was utter crap and so not happening! If his mother wanted to play hardball, he would play alright, but he'd throw her a curveball she'd never see coming and that curveball was named Gerri Wilder, matchmaker extraordinaire and founder of the Paranormal Dating Agency with a 100% success track record. Yup, Gerri Wilder is exactly who he needs! What could go wrong? Don't ask! Let the games begin!
What did I love about this book? Everything! I believe it may just be my brand new favorite! What didn't I like about this book? Not a darn thing! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers. Will I read this author again? Abso-freakin-lutely! Just as soon as she releases her next book. Was I entertained? Completely and totally entertained! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read! I can hardly wait to see who Gerri's next victim...umm...client will be! lol...

Kasen & Miranda ( Andi )
Another great read from Milly Taiden. I must say i was a bit confused at the beginning of this book because the previous ones were connected somehow ( by a friend or sister etc ), or meet the next book characters in the book prior. This is the story of Kasen a ALPHA wolf that is been pressured to find a mate by his mother and she needs to be seem and not hear and docile. Andi is Prima lioness that is been forced to find a mate. But she only wants someone to be seem and not heard. Someone that will let her lead her pride and stay out of her business. Unfortunately for both of them, they have been match to each other. Sparks fly between those two such make for a great read. Highly recommend it
