Three very H-O-T shifter couples! . . .
•Book 1 (Lyric's Mate):
Honestly to get this freaking lucky in life by scoring an awesome new city, job and a special someone all at the same time, it’s definitely fiction but entirely great to dream and read about. Lyric Neminee moves to Moon Valley and is hired by the Alpha as a personal assistant for someone, unsure specific details she arrives to work the next day and is shocked by whom she’s hired to help. Liberty Glenn is the Alpha’s sister but also international supermodel and the celebrity crush Lyric has definitely admired. When their eyes met instant attraction, and both women could sense it, but work first before any play.
I absolutely loved how Lyric’s original purpose in the story was for a job and she then continues to work even after falling and getting together with Libby aka her boss. The chemistry with Lyric and Libby is most definitely explosive and H-O-T! I just wish we saw more of their interactions before letting their desires finally takeover, because they are super cute together. But their wolves really didn’t give them a moment to speak.
•Book 2 (Meadow's Mate):
As a fairly recent newcomer to town and the pack, Meadow Falls, a kindergarten teacher, finds herself crushing on one of the Alpha’s enforcers the very beautiful, but toned, Sage Lenzee. When Sage picks Meadow up like a knight in shining armor after a little scramble with newly shifted kids, the two find themselves instantly taken but completely shy about it.
This couple’s story was great! Both woman were super shy about their feelings but once they let them out BAM!! Sage may have be the protector by trade but even Meadow had a moment too, when some dangerous wolves entered the picture. Which helped both finally say the M word out loud. Oh and loved that Libby and Lyric make a bit of an appearance in this story, just showing how much of a family the Moon Valley Clan truly is.
•Book 3 (Tuesday's Mate):
Moving into town to become the neighborhood account is financially savvy and an even more idealistic situation when Tuesday Webb walks into the local coffee shop and meets the sexy owner Sunni Vinson. Their attraction instantaneous and once a kiss is enacted, there was no doubt in either's mind that they were it for each other.
Tuesday and Sunni were basically glued to each other, in the to hot for each other but can’t breathe without the other kind of way. Their relationship was showcased as the kind you’d typically see in other paranormal novels, as they loved to dominate and submit to each other for pleasure and fun. Have to say loved the there was a girls night where the Moon Valley couples got together to hang out, could definitely see their nights out being quite . . . interesting.

I had never read F/F romance before and did not know what to expect but these were way good.
I could not put my kindle down until I realized I had read all 3 books in the box set.
The first books is Lyric’s Mate
She had just moved to town and became the assistant to the Alpha’s sister Libby and boy do the sparks fly.
Book 2 is
Meadow's Mate
Meadow is a teacher who gets injured while trying to get to boys to stop fighting and Sage takes her to be checked out , these two realize they are into each other but Rouges threaten to put everything at risk.
The third book in this box set is
Tuesday's Mate
She is the new accountant in town and meets Sunni at a local business and insta chemistry happens , .
I loved all three of these stories and they say they all grew into their stories was perfect.

Beautiful stories of love and mating. The first is of Lyric and Libby, the alpha's sister who is the most popular model and a role model for female shifters. Lyric has been hired to help Libby with all her appointments and social media. There's an instant attraction and spark between the two.
The second story is of one of the pack's enforcer, Sage, and the new school teacher. Both are drawn to each other and one harrowing night it might end.
The last story is of Tuesday, an accountant, who's just moved to the Valley. Getting hungry one day she goes to the local bakery and is intrigued by an intoxicating smell of someone. That someone is Sunni, the owner of the cafe/bakery. Sunni goes to her for help in her business. Sunni too had been drawn to Tuesday.
These stories are lovely and tell of a full filling love between two women.
Fantastic stories and reads!!

This three-book short stories series by Ariel Marie was smoking hot! I loved that Ariel wrote F/F shifter mating. It is rare to find a good F/F shifter books and Moon Valley Shifters gives us three!
Each one of the short stories in the Moon Valley Shifters book was unique, fun and focused on the two females that could not keep their eyes or hands off of each other. This is not a book you need to read in public people. These three stories are smoking hot!
My favorite of the three stories was Meadow's Mate. I adored Meadow and Sage's story. Meadow this sweet school teacher and Sage this HOT enforcer. I would love to get more of their story.
In the future, I would love to see more F/F from this author but in full-length novels where we get more of the leads stories. I want to get as lost in their stories as in the sexy times.
The only downside is that there is a lot of hot steamy scenes and I wanted more meat of the women's past and future. All six women are strong leading ladies and I would have loved to read more about each of them.

A wonderful set of books that have heat, heart and great strong characters. It's awesome to follow Lyric, Meadow and Tuesday as they find their true mates. The author does a fantastic job of letting us get to know the romantic leads and the women they love. Each book is incredibly readable, but the separation of the books mean that binge reading is possible, but not required. I highly recommend the set. This is a voluntary review of an advance reader copy.
April 18, 2018
I was so thrilled that this box set was all about females finding thier mates. Instead of the usual males have to find their mates. I loved the fact that this author is not afraid to write about two females falling in love and mating. I highly recommend this author and boxed set for everyone who loves a strong female based books.

Sexy and cute, Moon Valley shifters is a hot and sensual read with a dose of sweet.
Although I read paranormal I don’t usually ally read F/F romances. With Ariel Marie these stories gave me a heated and simple introduction to this type of romance. Her writing is fluid and you can’t help wanting to see the story through to the end.
Not everybody will enjoy a ‘feet first’ intro to F/F romance but if you want a fan worthy read definitely give this a 1-click.

I usually don't mind erotic romance but this was every chapter there was at least 5-10 sex scenes. Felt like it took away from the short story. It was ok nothing to ride home about even though the blurbs interested me.

The plot of these stories is so thin you could cut it with paper. That's not a bad thing tho. Basically it's one chapter of a first meeting with lust at first glance, one chapter with an official bond-sealing, and everything in between is sex. If that's what you came for, this trilogy is for you.
The sex scenes are good, even if there's (ironically) only so much finger-sex and breast-sucking you can read before it becomes a little bland. All pairings seem to have the same preferences when it comes to sex, so if you've read one sex scene you've read them all--which again is not bad if breast play and fingering are your thing. The last couple also has some dildo fun.
The only thing I wish was that the characters were a little more diverse. Everyone is attractive and curvaceous (can't tell if the author means Lizzo or Kim K) with heavy breasts. Hair, if described, is unfailingly long. Even the pack enforcer is only "lightly" muscled. One character bemoans being at the "ripe age of 28" so presumably they're all young too. Where are my butches? My mature women? My useless art lesbians? If you're gonna write queer fiction (and thank you for that--we need more of it!) give me a full range of queer characters.

Let's be real, it's almost PWP. Sex scenes were pretty unrealistic. The two characters in the first book had very similar names, Libby and Lyric. I used Calibre to change Lyric's name, just to make the story readable.
That being said, if you go in with low expectations it probably won't be as bad as you think. The love and romance are pretty well done. There were also some descriptions of the Moon Valley town I really liked. Book 2 was probably my favorite, a big sexy enforcer with a curvy little schoolteacher. The plot in book 2 also involved actual shifting and transformed werewolf stuff, which was pretty minimal in the other books.
But overall, the unrealistic sex scenes knocked it down to 3 stars for me. It's fine, for what it is.

Three short novels make up this collection but, aside from changes in names and careers, they're all basically the same story: female shifter enters new town/area/workplace, meets other female shifter, they fall in love and become lifelong mates. Lots of repetition of certain words, although it's not as if the author has fallen in love with a certain word and has to keep using it, it's more that there is no likeable alternative word. There is, however, a difference between peeked, peaked and piqued.
Sadly, not for me.

These three stories feature strong female shifters who finally get their happily ever after. There are many M/M shifter books, but I love that these stories deal with female shifters. I look forward to reading more books by this author. I volunteered to read an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.

Okay, so I think I need to take a bath in holy water for the rest of my life!
I don't mind reading a bit of smut, but that was just pure filth. My brain is blown. I honestly have no words 😳😳
I only read lyrics story, and tbh that was enough for me. I only carried on because it was a short story. otherwise, I would have DNF

Me leí rápido las primeras 2 historias y la tercera simplemente ya no tenía ánimos; los romances que suceden rápido y hay mucho sexo, no me molesta pero se me hicieron pesados y algunos incómodos.
No era mi tipo de libro.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy to just read pages of plot-what-plot erotica if the erotica is well written, but there are only so many times you can read that a nipple beaded into a tight bead before it loses any eroticism.

Short stories with spice
These 3 stories are cute but jump right into the spice. These are fated Mates so instant love. I gave it 5 stars because that is what I expected and it's what was given.
