Paranormal Dating Agency #24
Bring to Bear
Winter Delgado loves planning a good party. She’s excited about her newest client, Gerri Wilder, but not so much for the hot alpha bear that’s most definitely her mate. The party will push her career to new heights. If only she could focus on her job and not on tall, dark, and sexy Finn. This whole mate business is making her rethink not wanting to get involved.
Finn Blackburn is on the outs with his clan. He owns his own security company in the city and life has been pretty quiet until now. After one fateful afternoon, he’s found his long-lost twin brother, his parents, and more importantly, his mate. He’s not getting a chance to catch his breath or check out Winter’s curves before everyone is depending on him to save his clan, but no pressure.
Finn’s oppressed clan is only the beginning of his problems. The clan elders are set on pushing his family out of the way and having their own corrupt people in charge. Between fighting for his clan, putting his family together, and making sure Winter is safe, it’s a hell of a time to fall in love. As the drama unfolds, Finn and Winter team up to face evil head on and risk one, or both of them, being killed.

Milly. yeah, she just makes me wanna fall in love with bears all over again. Gerri's been a constant fav throughout the series and she keeps doing her thang. Love it.
Who doesn't like a party? a top-notch gig that will put Miss Sassy not get involved's career in billing. He likes the quiet calm of his life, he likes things settled. His way, his business al in control.
Until it's not. In a few words. Family. Mate. Bad buys. and his quiet norm gets an upheaval he wasn't expecting.
Another amazing read from one of my favorite writers, the series is huge and ongoing and still captures us into the snare of heat, passion, fun with a bit of detail, a bit of sex and a bit of danger. Milly brings it all. Enjoy

Lol! Loved Loved Omfw, I Loved this story too!

I loved this tale. Winter knows what Gerri Wilder is about. After all Gerri matched up her twin sister Summer. This story is filled with love, lust and intrigue. I love that the author includes a serious subplot in her stories. In this one it is the normalization of mental illness. Highly recommended.

Loved this one! What happens when someone knows Gerri Wilder is sending her to meet her mate without even even asking? Well that happened to Winter and she just wants to do her job. No man for her. However from the moment she meets Finn... yowzers! I loved the way this journey went. Neither wanted a mate but with Gerri involved, you go not always get what you want. There are some deep topics in this book, but handled wonderfully.
Oh and have water.. or a fan handy.

Black Bears, Brown Bears love them all.. This mini series in a series is so incredible. I adore all these characters and find myself addicted to them and waiting for each of their stories... Finn and Winter were a great fit no matter how much she thought she could avoid it.. There is no escaping one of Geri's matches... I cant wait to see what's next for the bear clans..

Another perfect match;
Geri Wilder out did herself in the book. The match of Winter and Finn is just beautiful. Two semi broken souls that can only heal together. Perfect!

Excellent
This was another excellent book with terrific characters and a super story line. If you enjoy reading shape shifter romance then you will love it too. I can't wait to read more in this series.

This story is kind of a continuation of the last book. In the last story we met twins, Summer & Winter Delgado. Summer had met with Gerri in the hope of finding her sister a mate. Gerri being Gerri, found a way to solve multiple problems with the same stone. Summer wound up being mated to an alpha brown bear shifter named Quinn Teddy. Yes, the bear shifter was named Teddy. After meeting, Teddy hired Summer, who was a private investigator, to help him find his mother and twin brother who had both disappeared 30 years earlier. At the same time, Gerri hired Winter to plan a Christmas party for her. The only stipulation was that she hire a man named Finn Blackburn, a black bear shifter, and his company to handle security. As it all turned out, Finn was the long-lost brother Quinn had been searching for. Quinn and his father were reunited with his mother, Bess, in the previous book. Finn was out of town for work, so his reunion came in this book. He also met his mate, Winter in this book.
There are other things that take place to make this story really interesting and exciting, but the main thing is that Quinn Teddy is the Alpha of the brown bear clan. Finn is a member of the black bear den. You may ask yourself how identical twins have different shifter animals and are part of two different bear groups. The answer: Bess, their mother, is a black bear and their father, Anthony, is a brown bear. There are, of course, other details to this phenomenon, but you will have to read the book to discover them. Also, a set of Fraternal twin sisters, Summer & Winter, are fated mates to identical twin brothers, Quinn and Finn.
Well done to the author. I loved the read and look forward to reading more.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
3.5 stars
I highly recommend reading Bear In Mind before reading this story as the characters are related (and the background makes this story better).
Winter is excited to be decorating a party for Gerri Wilder, this could be the big break her business needs. But she also knows that Gerri is a match-maker and she can guess that Gerri has more than just the party in mind when she insists that Winter uses Finn's security firm for the party.
Finn and Winter's relationship moved really fast, but given they're mates that was too be expected. There is some drama carry-over with Blisstown from the previous book (to be expected since Winter is Summer's twin). But it was the drama with Winter that actually I found to be annoying rather than finding her sympathetic. I get that there is trauma in her past (and mostly a trauma that she buried), but her switch from lets just mate right now to don't come near me was a bit much. Even if she had been more willing to take the time to discuss it with her sister, at least get another person's perspective, I would have been more sympathetic. I also think she really needed therapy years ago for her issues, but that's a person pet peeve. It was still a quick read and I did enjoy most of the story.

Party planner Winter Delgado is excited about her newest client as it is Gerri Wilder and this party is going to push her career to new heights. She is not so excited about the bear shifter that is her mate as he is just a distraction to what she wants to do and achieve in her life. She somehow needs to find a way to focus on her job and now tall, dark and sexy Finn. Bear shifter Finn Blackburn wons his own security company and his life in the city has been great up to now until one fateful afternoon he finds his long lost twin brother, his parents AND his mate!! With no chance to catch his breath it appears that everyone is depending on him to save his clan who have all been oppressed by a clique of corrupt people that only seem to think of themselves. Suddenly fighting for the clan, putting the family back together and making sure that Winter stays safe is a major undertaking and so falling in love is one hell of a distraction. As the drama intensifies Finn and Winter have to team up and face the evil head on which could risk the life of one or the other of them. Can they come out of this alive and together?
This book is like a continuation of the previous one (Bear in Mind #23) and although you do not have to read it first it would help to understand some of the family dynamics. I liked the way that they worked through their problems and found ways to work and be together. It was lovely to see how people power will prevail and those that are evil will fail at what they are doing. Well written and easy to read and understand. Contains sexual content.

It's okay (moderate spoiler alert)
Moderate because I'm not going deeply into what happens, I don't think. Book 24 seemed like it was a struggle to give this a real plot beyond two people sexing it up all the time. The attempts to justify the connections of things were fairly weak: the shift to Finn as the next mate and alpha(we get no evidence of his alpha skill; he's never working at his own company or with the pack), the continuation of the rivalry of the two bear clans, and Winter's backstory. I think it would have been fine if it was just he's Quinn's brother without Blisstown politics because he got involved begrudgingly and always as an afterthought. It was literally an excuse for the later conflict. Winter's backstory was too easily brushed aside and explained away yet made a big deal at the same time. Given the history, it can't be both and definitely can't/shouldn't be a 1 conversation/pep talk solution. A couple of obvious editing oversights toward the end that made me backtrack: the bear is somehow a wolf (wrong storyline for multishifters), Anthony becomes Tony (he's never given or using a nickname anywhere else, even in the previous book), and Jared becomes a cousin instead of a best friend who's like a brother.
I miss the days of the beginning of this series. I feel more and more like it's (becoming) a series that's run it's course, but it's still going rather than bringing it to a final conclusion. Something's gotta give though.

So much joy to be spread around! Now Jared!! Also, what the hell happened to Gus? Lol also my boy Barry! YES, YES! Hmmm, malorie? She was definitely a player here.... maybe Jared? So much happened in this book! So many answers and still some questions left u answered! We need more books from Blisstown! I’d love to see a book with cubs in it! I’m such a sucker for that! The chemistry was again off the charts hot! They got along so well and winter and summer had such great sense of humor! I l0ved the way they could giggle and be playful in the bedroom! I love that in a woman! No need to be serious all the time in during sexy times! I ❤️❤️ that so much! Milly really hit a home run with that! I’m a very playful person and I love to see and read about this in my books because it lets me relate even more to the characters and form bonds. It’s what makes and separates the phenomenal authors from the standard authors and Milly is phenomenal! Even though some of her female heroines give me acid reflux sometimes lol I still love them! I can’t wait for the next book! 5🌟 to the fullest!

I simply love to read the Paranormal Dating Agency series. When I see that a new book in the series has come out I get so excited that I usually scream which makes someone in the family think I have gotten hurt again. Which happens a lot LOL. Funny this time I was laying in bed recovering from being hurt when this one passed by my kindle and I growled with excitement. This book can be read as a stand alone but if you have kindle unlimited start at number 1 and read to this one for all the hot fun exciting times. This is Winter and Finn's book and those of us who have read the last book well we knew this one was on the horizon. Winter is a twin and well Finn has a surprise waiting for him just around the bend. Of course it would not be the paranormal dating book without Ms Wilder hooking up a sexy beast or two now would it and she does it in rare form in this one.I love how our author uses events of today to tie into the book yet doesn't come of as preachy at all. This book is one I will read again and I certainly can't wait for the next book in this series to hurry on down to reach me.I write reviews as a way to thank the authors as their gift of words.

This is a hard review to write because I do or I did enjoy this authors books until recently.
I loved Bring to Bear until about 60% into the book. Then the h turned into an idiot. Reason or not Finn deserved better than Winter. Winter doesn't deserve to be by Finn's side as he takes the roll of Alpha.
She was in an all fire hurry to be mated then treats him no better than that after one incident. And to lie to Gerri, I was hoping she would tell her she'd find someone else to plan the party.
Please for goodness sake get this author a proofreader.
These are bear shifters so why would his voice be rough with his wolf? I paid good money for this book. If I could I would return it and get my money back. I wouldn't ordinarily even dream of doing something like that, but this author is going to continue with subpar books but getting almost $5 for each. It's unacceptable.
We as readers should not put up with it.
On that note I did like the plot. Now if she could get the rest of her crap together she be a fine author.

Oh Gerri.
Bring to Bear: Paranormal Dating Agency Book 24
ByMilly Taiden
Kindle unlimited purchase
Wolfing Her Down (Paranormal Dating Agency Book 26) coming out on May 1, 2020?
Gerri how does she find everyone's mate. Each book has its own couple and plot and can be read in any order. But for me, I would read them in order. I do warn you, you will NOT be able to put them down (are any of MT's book for that matter)
In book 23 Summer came to Gerri to help finded a mate for her twin sister, Winter, NOT her (like that's going to work) Summer and Winter are both in this book so we get to see how close they are and how they support each other. This book #24 is all about Winter and how she and Finn find each other.
Finn never knew he had a twin brother it's been just him and his mom as long as he could remember. Now he learns his brother and father have been looking for him and his mother all this time. This and book 23 should be read in order.
Going to rent and read book 25 now.

Winter and Finn
Geri has tried to get these two together unsuccessfully. Joining them on a business venture does the trick. While neither wants a mate to enter their lives right now resisting is another matter.
For Finn it is more than a mate, he has also found a family he didn't know he had, has been asked to lead his clan against the newly forming leadership that is as bad as the previous leaders or worse. Can he and his bear handle it all?
As for Winter, her past steps in to add to her pressure. That and The danger they weren't prepared for. Will the mate draw be strong enough to keep them together and all their responsibilities?
Enjoy this new Paranormal Dating Agency story still 5-star quality. Great character, visit with friends from previous stories and plenty of steam.

Time for the other twins to have their HEA!
Winter was happy to set up her twin with Gerri's Agency but she's a biy gun-shy when she realises Gerri has also found HER a match. All does not go well at their first meeting - Finn is shall we say a bear in china shop, brash and damn well rude! Gerri will NOT be happy!
Finn is still reeling from finding his father and brother. He's not quite sure what to do with all the emotions that have bubbled up - adding finding his mate to the mix is just about enough to send him over the edge. This should be a joyous time but he's literally a bear with a sore head and heart and Winter...well she's just not sure about the whole human/bear-shifter dynamic yet.
Great, sympathetic characters, strong storyline and Gerri, as usual, gets her sneaky way!

Esta historia si me entretuvo y me puso a pensar demas .... como es que Gerri, la casamentera, empareja a Finn un oso carnivoro con Winter una humana vegetariana ?? .... es de mucha risa ademas y para completar el chiste, ella tiene un trauma porque cuando pequeña la ataco un oso negro en una salida de campamento con la familia ... y tiene pesadillas ya de grande porque en cierta forma habia olvidado ese evento pero algo lo detono de nuevo y ahi es cuando se da cuenta que Finn es cambiaformas oso... hay asamble para elegir lider o presidente de la manada .... (dah,, puro relleno) ... y hay un secuestro. En fin. tengo hasta el #28 descargado y no he logrado conseguir mas de este tipo de historias ... creo que dejare hasta ahi por ahora .... me quedan 4 mas y me doy por bien servida. Next !!!

I loved most of this book, except for two things. One depression like she described here really needs to be dealt with by professionals especially when it goes that far. I don’t like that it was so lightly rushed aside, and the second was the very obvious sudden plot device to drive them apart.
I know it’s a fun light read and far from reality, it’s a sweet bit of escapism and not a platform to discuss mental health issues, but it’s like the whole condom in sex scenes thing, it needs to be there to remind the world in a very light small way to be safe. Mental health is also important and mentioning getting professional help for a real problem is like writing in a condom, just spreading a bit of safety.

Loved it. Winter's story to complete the twin duology
This one completes the twin duology of Summer and Winter with Winter and Finn's tale. Winter is hired by Gerri Wilder to do a party for her with Finn as security. Knowing how Gerri works, she is aware that Finn is probably her mate and goes into the meeting with him knowing it but hoping it's not true. This meeting, and the meeting up of Finn with his family leads to more revelations and drama for not only Winter and Finn but tge whole family.
All in a good tale that completes what was started with Summer and Quinn's tale. Also, a good addition to the series as a whole that is worth reading (series and book, by the way)

Bring to Bear is about Summer's twin sister, Winter and Quinn's twin brother Flinn. It continues the drama of Blissville from Bear in Mind.
Winter knows going into the meeting with the security company that Flinn is likely to be her mate. She is familiar with Gerri's tricks. Neither of them are ready for a mate and go into it with the expectation that they would ignore it. They didn't manage it for more than two hours.
In that time, Flinn finds out that he had a twin brother and takes that pretty well and his cousin pushes for him to become Alpha of the Black Bears in Blissville.
Lots of sex in this book considering it covers maybe 3 days. Flinn's decision to put his name in to be alpha brings danger to Winter and brings up a long buried trauma.

A nicely done Gerri Wilder story!
If you read these then you're aware that the Gerri stories can vary quite a bit. This is one that I enjoyed reading, with good characters and a well told story. You aren't going to find big action scenes or stunning drama. What you get is a book to read when you're just in the mood for a light read, with steamy love scenes for spice, and a happily ever after is the cherry on top! Gerri herself adds a bit of intrigue, with few knowing what type of shifter she is, and how in the world does she know so much about a person? Of course, she just leaves them guessing as she fills her world with more and more paired soul mates.

Goes with previous book
Although they are not described as such, this book (#24) needs to be read with the previous book (#23) as the storyline carries over. I started reading Milly Taisden’s Paranormal Dating Agency series because the FMCs were curvy, women of color, the storylines were short with a nice bit of steam. Unfortunately, it seems the more prolific Ms. Taisden has become, the more her writing is deteriorating. While her books were never deep, lengthy stories, the first ones were written well enough to hold the my interest. Now I find myself losing interest half way through.

OMG! I love to read books from Milly Taiden. This is the 24th book in the Paranormal Dating Agency series. This is Finn and Winter's story. Both Winter and Finn is the twins of Summer and Quinn. This story is filled with love, lust and intrigue. When the past comes back knocking, they will face it together. Will the mate draw be strong enough to keep them together and all their responsibilities? Definitely recommend reading this book. Keep up the awesome work!

Book 24 in Paranormal Dating Agency by Milly Taiden
Finn is a alpha but not a member of a pack and owner of a very successful company. Finn is Bess child which we met in previous books with Summer and Quinn.
Finn meets Winter after being hired by Gerri Wilder to organise a party for her but meets her mate Finn the owner of the security firm hired to protect the party.
I did enjoy this one especially closer to end but it drag for me a lot but thankfully picked up towards the end.
Absolutely love molly Taiden and you think by book 24 it was a done series but it does still keep you hooked.

Another great book in the PDA series! Gerri hit it on the nail again setting up Winter and Finn through a party she was giving. Winter is the party planner/decorator while Finn is the security expert. The attraction between the two was immediate and explosive then Winter had a flash back to her childhood when a bear was chasing her so she distances herself from Finn for a short time. The mate pull was too strong and they get their happily ever after. I read this book through the Kindle Unlimited program.

The very famous (and awesome) Gerri does it again - bringing together human Winter and bear shifter Finn. Of course, just because she matches them doesn't mean it's smooth sailing. Winter and Finn will have to work together to get overcome several obstacles to finally get their HEA.
This book goes along with the characters from the previous book, Bear in Mind; I recommend reading Bear in Mind first.
