Bear in a Bakery
Bear shifters make terrible boyfriends.
When drunk raccoons turn her beloved Sticky Sweet Bakery into a rave, Allie Rowe needs a good contractor to repair the damage. She’s ticked when her meddling father hires the sexiest bear shifter in town to come to the rescue. Her dad knows how she feels about shifters. They might be good workers, but they’re unsatisfactory lovers with small… cinnamon sticks, and bad tempers.
It’s a good thing this contractor is only after her sticky buns and a paycheck and nothing else because she’s not interested.
Until her new handyman gets soaked by her faulty sprinkler system, his tee-shirt plastering to his chest, wet jeans hinting that there’s nothing small about him. Ok, she might be a little interested. But he’s hiding something and if her past is an indicator, the truth will be anything but sticky sweet.
Dax Mitchell needs a wife pronto before his precious virility turns from stud to weakling. The moment he meets Allie, his inner bear wants to claim her for a forever mate. She’s beautiful. Decadent. Funny. And dead-set that shifters are the worst.
When a threat returns in Allie’s life, Dax must hurry to keep her safe, and convince her she’s his mate. Will true love be the frosting on their undeniable passion, or will they lose everything before the full moon ends?

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Allie Rowe and Dax Mitchell. Allie is having a rough time first her ex won't leave her alone. Second a raccoon had a rave in her bakery. Third the bank is asking for more than she can come up with for her balloon payment, fourth her sprinklers just caved in her ceiling. Fifth and finally her dad hired a bear contractor to fix her store. Oh did I mention her ex the one that won't leave her alone is a bear shifter as well. That is why she is not happy with her dad. However one look at Dax and she's looking for a cold shower. One look is all it takes for Dax to know there is a whole lot to this woman. He is here because he father sent him after finding out what had happened to the bakery. To bad his next thought almost brought him to his knees, Mate. Can these two find a way to have a HEA or will this just be something they need to work out of their systems?
This is an amazing book. It has its ups and downs that I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked form the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I loved this book! It was funny, snarky and sexy. Poor Allie has had nothing but bad luck lately: she has a bear shifter ex boyfriend who will not leave her alone, her bakery has been trashed by raccoons and the balloon payment on her loan is coming due. Her father hires Dax Mitchell, a local bear shifter and contractor, to repair the damage caused by the raccoons. Their chemistry is instantaneous and through several trials and twists they get their HEA.
Highly recommend this book and author. I cannot wait to read the next books in this series.

A really intense shifter romance.💞🐻💞
Allie is done with shifters. Her last boyfriend was a really bad guy who just happened to be a bear shifter and now she's just done with all of them. Until she meets Dax. Now Dax is everything a bear shifter is supposed to be... sexy, protective, built, and loving. The problem is convincing Allie that is more than just passion. 💕💗🔥💕
I really enjoyed this book and watching Allie and Dax fall in love. It's not an easy path for either one and both make mistakes. But in the end, they finally trust each other and well... yeah. 😍

A fun sassy and passionate romance that draws you in from the beginning. I loved how Allie is vulnerable and down on her luck and just when you think she’s going to give up she meets Dex. Dex is by far one of my favourite shifter characters, he’s confident and instantly becomes protective of Allie. They both make mistakes yet still seem drawn together. All is not what it seems and the twist make this an exciting read that you won’t want to put down

Raccoons and bears...
This is the first book by this author I have read and I loved it! Between drunk raccoons, suicidal mice and a best friend that falls asleep in the corner, I found myself laughing a lot while reading. Then there's Allie and Dax...oh my! The chemistry and banter between these two kept me turning the page. I can't wait to read the next book in this new series.

This was a hot insta love/attraction book. Allie is a great baker with a keen mind for her bakery and what it will be. But one thing after another seem to happen. In walks Dax the bear shifter. He is there to do some construction for her but instantly knows she is his. Some hot 🔥🔥🔥ness happens and some drama but then it all works out

This is a very cute and fun story. I enjoyed this fated mates human/shifter romance. The witty banter and smoky chemistry between Allie and Dax adds so much to this read. Some added drama and a good dose of humor help round out this very good romance. I am posting a voluntary, honest review.

There's so much to love about this sweet and sexy romance between a human and a bear shifter. Fates mates collide when a bakery has been targeted by an unknown nemesis. The fast hitting and quickly paced story kept me riveted from start to finish. Loved the story, the humor, the sensual scenes, and pretty much the entire book! Highly recommended!!
