Billionaire Shifters Club #4

The Billionaire Shifter's Secret Baby

Rate this book
A masquerade ball in Malibu led to a single night of passion under the stars… and set the wheels of fate in motion.

Three years ago, waitress Kara Jablonski gave in to her wilder side with a fellow weretiger, the rock star billionaire Lars Jensen, a sun-kissed blond drummer with a viking's build. Six weeks later, the pregnancy test came back positive.

Knowing Lars' powerful, overbearing mother would be able to take the baby away, Kara did what she had to do.

She hid him.

Now chance has brought Lars back into her life, his touch making her pulse beat like the old legends. So strong, so loud, so bold.

So right.

But can she trust him to want more than another night under the stars? Can she trust him to claim his son as his heir... and Kara as his mate?

Fate responds with a roar...

The Billionaire Shifter's Secret Baby is a novella that stars Lars Jensen, a member of a shifter family with viking blood featured in earlier books in the series, and is part of the Howls Romance series as well.

"That night ruined me."
"What?"
"Ruined me for other women."
"Your reputation precedes you. If I ruined you for other women, you have a funny way of showing it, Mr. Playboy."


One playboy/famous drummer/filthy rich tiger shifter. One poor but proud tiger shifter waitress.
One night stand.
One unexpected pregnancy.
3 years later, the two shifters will meet again.

It was an entertaining story for sure.

'The Billionaire Shifter's Secret Baby' by Diana Seere is book Four in the "Howls Romance" series. This is the story of Kara Jablonski and Lars Jensen. This is easily a standalone book. In addition it is a short read with about 120 pages.
Kara and Lars met once about a year ago. They had a one night stand where Kara later finds she is pregnant. Lars is famous and rich so she doesn't think he would be interested nor does she want to pursue anything with him at the time. But Lars has been looking for her and when he finds her he takes control of her and the child.
Great fast past hot read!

Three years ago Kara Jablonski had one night with Lars Jensen, she wasn't the type to sleep with random men but something about Lars had pulled at her and when it was over she fled. Finding out she was pregnant had Kara go into hiding, she knew about Lar's family and had no doubt they would take her son away from her or would he?

This was wonderfully entertaining. I liked Kara and understood why she kept her baby a secret. Lars though was a bit of a surprise, I thought he oozed his masculinity on each page he is on. Checking out more in this series for sure.

I needed a little shifter pick-me-up and this ended up working for me. I had honestly forgotten that I’d read the first book in this series, but it did not affect my enjoyment of this book. It was a little cracky, a lotta sexy and even the secret baby trope, which I’m not a huge fan of, worked for me. There’s not alot of depth to the storytelling, and it resolves fairly quickly and easily. What it did do is entertain me for a few hours and reminded me that I need to check out this ‘verse again. If you’re in the mood for this trope-a-licious kind of read, you may enjoy this. I sure did.

This book could have been a five star if only it had been longer like the others in the series.
At 150 pages it almost feels like a last minute add in to make the series longer.
The storyline is great, Lars getting his own mate is brilliant and the secret baby too , but it didn’t gel with the main storyline.
Shame . But good read all the same .

Short & Sweet, this novella was just perfect.
Lars had met his One three years ago but she ran away after a night of passion. He doesn't even know her name.
Kara is a shifter but one of the few who have to work for a living. She comes from modest background and her only love in life is her three-year old.
Their world collides and secrets are revealed. Lars is angry at her betrayal but can't ignore the Beat. And for once, there are two.
Beautiful story, especially the part when Lars meets his son, was my favorite. This is turning out to be a very addictive series.

Diana Seere did a great job of mixing a little drama, sexiness, and humor all into The Billionaire Shifter's Secret Baby.

Kara Jablonski is hiding something big. After a night she will never forget with a sexy billionaire named Lars Jensen she had a little boy. She would do anything to protect her son and that meant keeping him away from Lar's family. They were the elites and she was a nobody. They did not mix.

Kara moved a lot, kept a low profile and still ended up bumping into Lars. He was her fated mate even if they both wanted to ignore that fact at the beginning. I loved the game of cat and mouse these two danced around in the beginning. Which also made me snicker since the were both tiger shifters.

When Lars found out he had a cub. Let's just say no one wanted to be on the receiving end of his wrath. I loved the moment Lars' met his little guy. It was totally a swoon-worthy and giggle aloud moment for me.

One of my favorite parts of this book is how Diana described Kara and Lars beat. They made a beautiful beat together and apart is out of rhythm. Lars needed his mate to calm is erratic beat.

If you are a big fan of shifter books, especially yummy tiger shifters, you need to one-click this book now. It is a fun quick read.

Somehow I neglected to review this when I read it a month ago.
I gobbled it up and would have given 4 stars, but I felt the reasoning behind Kara not telling Lars was sh*tty. I liked her well enough as the h but she was basically a coward. I knew that from the blurb though. But

At just over 100 pages it is short and sweet. Kara is from the poor side of the shifter-tracks. But she goes out to a costume party and lets go her cares, for one night of bliss with Lars. Then embarrassed, she runs off without giving him her contact info of course. So he searches but can't find her... Until he catches her scent in a completely different city. She changed her name and city when she found she was pregnant with his cub as she was afraid of his rich and ruthless mother.
safety
Male Shifters in this universe feel the beat of their mate's heart and it can either be comforting or if you aren't secure in their affections, maddening.
Lars has to decide if he can trust Kara or not.
So a pretty simple story but entertaining.

I love these billionaire shifter stories! Even though I'm not a huge paranormal fan. These men are just so uber alpha but at the same time, romantic in a way. They know their "one" once they find her.

Kara walked on the wild side and had a one night stand with rock star weretiger Lars 3 years ago. And she got a reminder of the event approximately 9 months later. Jamie is her pride and joy and she will not let Lars' family or even Lars know of Jamie's existence.

Lars always wondered what happened to that vixen he had a one night stand with. And when he walks into The Platinum Club, he can feel her. He knows she's near but he can't find her. But now that he knows she's there, he's going to find her, by any means necessary.

This was a quick read for me. I loved the story and even though it wasn't very long, it felt like a complete story. The authors were even kind enough to give enough of a flashback to what happened the first time Lars and Klara met.

The story is equal parts hot and sweet. I am looking forward to only reading more from these authors but also the other books in this series!

This is an OK novella addition to this series. The H, a minor character in the earlier books, gets his own story here -- even though he is not a member of the Stanton shifter family. This story gets 3 stars from me.

The H/h were likable enough, but it frustrated me that they both made decisions based on assumptions. Kara's assumption that his mother would take her son caused her to hide his son from him, and for them to be separated for years. Once he found out about his son, Lars assumed that she was just using him for his money. If they had just been honest with each other from the beginning, and not made assumptions, they could have been together much sooner. All that angst seemed a bit unnecessary, which bothered me.

The story had a lot of sex, which was pretty explicit, so avoid it if you don't want to read about that. It also bothered me that both the H/h seem sex-crazed. The emphasis on sex made me wonder if they were really in love, or if their relationship was really more about lust.

This story is not really important to the overarching plot of the series, so it can be read standalone. It would be more enjoyable, though, if you read the 1st 3 books in the series first.

My rating system is below.
1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it.
2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws.
3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating.
4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one.
5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.

Lars and Kara hooked up in a one night stand three years prior. Lars kicked himself ever since then for not getting her number or some way to contact her because in just one night he absolutely fell for her. Lars is a rock star and a tiger shifter. While Kara is also a tiger shifter, she's not wealthy so when she finds herself pregnant after their encounter, she has the baby but doesn't try to reach out to Lars because she's afraid he or his powerful family will take her baby from her.

She's not expecting to see Lars again but she does while she's in a club. She tries to hide but he's a shifter and can smell her. Once he finds out that he has a child, he was rude and I didn't like him much. I never really fell for his character during this story. And I think she accepted his apology much too easily. There is another storyline going on as well that is left open for the next book and I didn't like that too much so I hope that is cleared up in the next book.

I DNF'd this book

Thankfully I got this book during stuff your Kindle day because it was definitely not the story for me. The writing is fine, few errors noted, the timeline is a little rushed because it's a short story. I LOVE secret baby books. This one was so very unsatisfying. Kara hid her pregnancy due to worry over a wealthy, powerful, entitled family trying to take her baby. Lars' immediate reaction proved her instincts right. That would have been totally fine.... except he is rude and downright cruel to her and she not only let him get away with it but apologized to him. I couldn't read past the scene where Lars meets Jamie and his kiss somehow makes Kara forget she was making a point about him calling her a golddigger. You don't go from having enough backbone to hide your baby from wealthy people to being a spineless jellyfish with no stingers. If you need a strong female lead (or even a consistent one) this isn't the book for you.

This book is the first book of Diana Seere’s that I have read. Because of this, I wasn’t sure on what to expect. I needn’t have worried; I found the writing style easy to follow and the story enjoyable. I liked Kara. I liked that she worked hard to provide for her family. I liked Lars but I didn’t like his attitude when he learnt that Kara had a baby. Instead of giving her a chance to talk, he talked to her like dirt.
Despite that, I really liked the ending and epilogue for this book. I liked Lars and Kara together and was happy for them.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and a nice read.

Kara and Lars

Another great book which I absolutely loved and would thoroughly recommend hoping others enjoy it as much as I did. Sneaking into an exclusive masquerade party three years before Kara met and fell for Lars a tiger shifter like her. Because he came from almost shifter royalty and she was just from the poor side of town after loving all night she fled in the morning not knowing that she left with part of Lars with her. Knowing what Lars mother was like she never contacted or told Lars he had a son. What happens when they meet again and can he forgive her for the secret that she kept and what about the Beat that they both hear.

A story to carry the heat...

Well done, shades of the first in this series...a story with heat instead of hot sex without a story to connect the reader. I enjoyed this book, it kept my interest from front to back. It was an easy read with great editing and flow. I’m the reader who demands more than hot sex...I want a story which brings the lovers together or tears them apart. A reason, a villain, a happening...something, anything that gives meat to the romance. This story satisfies my need for a background story. Good job.

While set in the Billionaire Shifters Club world, it isn't really part of that series. Neither of the main players were a Stanton, for one thing. Although there were some fun cameo spots by different members of that family. Mostly, the book seemed like a lot of build-up and then an ultra-quick resolution. It really irritated me how quickly and vehemently Lars condemned Kara, without even letting her defend herself. And then everything was just hunky-dory after that. It all just rubbed me the wrong way.

Fun short shifter story

Tiger shifters meeting again after a hot ONS 3 yrs ago before Kara disappeared. She hid away with her unexpected baby, afraid that his powerful family would take away her child. This is the story of Lars finding Kara again and reacting to her secrets. I thought it was very well written, well edited, and just enough angst to keep the story rolling along. It feels like this must be part of a series that I’m looking forward to checking out.

I enjoyed this book. While I didn’t agree with Kara keeping Jamie’s existence a secret, from Lairs, I could understand why she did. What I couldn’t understand is why Lairs jumped to the conclusion that she was after his money when learning that she had a child. She had never asked him for anything, she hadn’t even told him about the child yet. He was pretty dickish at that point. Of course he did come around.

just read the first eleven books in this set. they are all short, fun and fast and all standalones. can read one or all in any order. each author takes a basic format and expands it how they see fit. there is no deep heavy reading here - this is also book 4 of Diana Seere's Billionaire Shifters series and many of the characters have been met in the earlier books

Exciting and intense. Lars, Kara, and Jamie makes this a read that changes the game. I also loved seeing some of the other from the series created by Diana Seere. The quick read gave more prospective other beat, beat, beat. You have to have read the series of billionaire shifter and their mates to understand that reference but I still like this side glance at the lives of old familiars.

Loving tigers’ cubs!!!

As far as I can remember, this was my first shifters book. I absolutely loved it, the way it was conceived, the storyline, the intensity... pretty much everything... except...
I wish it would have lasted longer!!! Some more pages (on the cubs perhaps, or...) and it would’ve been a 5 star rating...
Anyways gotta go and read the next in line!

Absolutely loved this book!

I'm actually reading this series completely out of order. It was the blurb that attracted me. I was right to download it. I loved the storyline and all the characters in this book. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.....I think I'll begin with the first😁.
