Find a mate, save the world…oh yeah…defeat the evil shifters … a piece of cake for a big bad bear shifter, right?

“Jack” needs to find a mate in order to seal an alliance with the Shifter League here on earth. Money has always been the answer for this prince, so why not now? He’ll just pay someone to help him get a mate… What could go wrong? He has faced down the biggest and the baddest, and is up against the worst the galaxy has to offer… How difficult can it be to find a mate? Pretty hard, it turns out…

Small town girl, Sierra, is about to throw in the hat as a dating coach. She can’t even get her own man. Who is she kidding? That is until an almost unbelievable new client shows up. Get a boat load of money to help this total Adonis find a girlfriend? I mean, this guy could have any girl he wants… How hard could it be? Little does she know the direction things are about to take. And what is this about him being into bears? She’s not quite sure she heard him right…

As the two of them start to fall for one another, secrets begin to lead to misunderstandings piled upon misunderstandings.
Oh, and did we mention, the baddies wanting to destroy the innocent little town of Greenrock? (Actually, throw in the rest of Earth while you’re at it!)

Can this unlikely pair solidify a new alliance in time to save themselves and the rest of the town…and planet? Or will this end up being the ultimate dating fail…?

Jump in as we start a new adventure…

I love shifter stories but this book just didn’t do it for me.

[Angie Barnes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Leela Ash has written a 5-star book. Jack is on Earth with three other shifters and they are on the Dream team. Their mission is to protect Earth from an evil that plans to destroy Earth. The other men are Dax, Brian, and Alex. They are being sponsored by Atlas and Apollo. They have to go to classes to know what to expect. After the class, Atlas takes them to lunch and that is where Jack meets Sierra. Sierra is a dating coach and her client did not show so she goes to lunch. When she walks into the pub, she feels someone watching and she turns towards them. That is when she sees Jack. Sierra tries not to look at Jack but when she looks at him, she sees him looking at her. She sees Angela walk in and goes to the table where Jack is sitting. Angela sees Sierra and calls her over to their table. Since Sierra knows Atlas and Apollo Angela introduces Sierra to Jack, Dax, Brian, and Alex. When asked what Sierra does, they are told she is a dating coach. Atlas tells Jack that she could help him. Things seem to go well for Sierra and Jack until the time he tells her that he is a bear shifter. She misunderstands him, she thinks he is talking about the people who dress up like an animal. She goes over to his house one night dressed up as a rabbit and tells him to show her his bear. When he shifts into his bear, she faints. When she wakes up in the hospital, she is told that the guy just dropped her off. Now she is mad since she has to go home in the rabbit outfit. Jack received a call from Atlas asking for help protecting a portal right after he got Sierra to the hospital and he had to leave. Jack tried to call Sierra but she would not answer her phone. Sierra gets a call from her grandmother and they are talking about things and she tells her grandmother some of what happened with Jack. Her grandmother said something about shifters and Sierra is shocked to hear her grandmother knows about shifters. With what her grandmother tells her, Sierra has some thinking to do. She hears a knock on her door and she thinks it might be Jack. When she answers, it is Angela and she is there to explain a few things to Sierra. After a little bit of time, there is another knock on her door, and this time it is Jack. He is dressed as a bear and he wants to take her somewhere. They end up going to the party she heard about for the furries. They end up having a good time, he can be his bear and the rest of the guys can be their animals out in the open without shifting. When Jack takes Sierra home, they end up talking. She tells him that she is sorry about the way she treated him. He tells her that he is sorry for the misunderstanding. He thought that they were on the same page and if he had known differently he would have made sure she knew what he was talking about.
Can Sierra let go of all the past hurts and give Jack a chance?
Will Jack realize that he does deserve a chance at love again?
This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.

You know you are in for a wild ride full of laughter when you begin on the first page with five guys getting a haircut. Jack is not happy, his bear is roaring in protest, as Quinn cuts off his braids. Jack is a prince from another planet where they say “no braids is no man at all”, so he was seriously worried about his male anatomy! Once he saw everything was still intact, he was willing to endure the haircut so he fit in with the humans on Earth. With the threat of an enemy seeking universal conquest who would put Earth in danger, the Shifter League of Earth knew they needed help to protect the portals. They contacted shifters on other worlds who became the "Dream Team" to protect the Earth and their home planets, and this is the beginning of that adventure.

Part of Jack’s plan included finding a mate. He contacts a dating specialist who unfortunately isn’t doing well in this line of work. But Jack recognizes her as his mate. The misunderstanding about bears gives us a hilarious situation you will have to read in private so your loud laughter won’t disturb your household. This is a fun story line with Jack and Sierra trying to fake a relationship and not effectively communicating which brings on confusion and laughter as they try to figure out what’s happening. Will Sierra finally catch on with her grandmother’s guidance? Will the two of them fall in love? Grab your copy and enjoy this amusing story. The characters are fun and likable and the story is well-paced.

This is the first book in the Dream Team series and I have to tell you this is probable the first shifter rom com I have ever read and I have to tell you i loved it. Rom coms are always fun but throw in the fact the H can turn into a bear and comes from another planet and there is misunderstandings on misunderstandings

Jack is bear shifter but not just any bear shifter no he is a bear shifter prince from the planet Pavrok and he and five other shifters all from different worlds have come to earth before earth is taken over by the Krita. While he is here he also has to prove that he can commit to things so he figures the best way to do that is to get a partner. So he sets out to find that partner and what is a better way than through a dating agency only problem is that the one he picks belongs to Sierra and isn't doing to well. In fact Sierra was just about to shut up shop until the most gorgeous man she has seen walks in her door it sure isn't going to be hard to find him a girlfriend they will be lining up even if he is a little strange and wants a bear. One look at Sierra and jack knows that he has found his mate but she is playing a little hard to get how can he convince her and save earth as well Looking forward to more hilarious fun in this series

Sierra has been hurt before trying to make a relationship work, bending over backwards to make herself what her boyfriend wanted her to be. Now she is a relationship Guru but not planning on starting a relationship any time soon. Her grandmother is in a care home and is dependent on Sierra to pay for her care.
Jack is a shifter from another planet who has come to Earth to help fight evil. He had a betrothed who he let down and as a result she died. He doesn’t deserve a mate in his mind, but it is expected, so he decides to pretend he is in a relationship.
When Sierra and Jack meet, Jack’s bear knows she is his mate and she is strongly drawn to him. She agrees to take him on as a client to help him find a woman to date but she knows that he is keeping secrets and when he asks her to be his pretend girlfriend for a fee, she agrees.
This is a wonderful story, there are funny moments due to misunderstandings and personal discovery by both the hero and heroine.

This is a rom-com for sure. Sierra is a dating coach that has bad luck with it. Jack is a Prince that is a bear shifter that is on earth to help protect it from others that want to destroy everything. When Sierra is introduced to Jack he knows she is his mate. Jack doesn't think he should have a mate as he has already let one woman down and she died because of it. Jack asks Sierra to get him a gf so she sets out to do that. But Jack asks her to be his fake gf for payment and she agrees. When she finds out he is a bear shifter for the first time she faints and he takes her to the hospital but has to leave for an emergency. Sierra is mad and does not speak to Jack. She goes and talks to her grandmother that explains about shifters what she knows. Then later a knock on her door and she thinks it is Jack but it is her friend that talks to her more about shifters. Will Sierra be able to accept Jack as a shifter and a man or will she just ignore it?

Oh, the heat is HOT, and the physical chemistry is captivating so be careful you may just get burned all the heat coming off these pages. There were some "oh no" "oh wow" " what the what" moments and add in uncanny mishaps, and shenanigans the good kind that makes you keep turning the pages till last page has been turned. Three amazing, sexy ALPHA’S are on a mission to save/protect earth from an evil with a one goal to destroy. Jack is one of the protectors and Sierra is a dating coach and after one of her clients not showing she decides to go to lunch and this is where the two first see each other. Things are good between the two but will it continue to remain good after she he informs her he is a bear shifter or will she hold on to past hurts and can they find happiness a bear shifter and a dating coach?

Fated mates, fake fiance, and a furry convention?

The "Dream Team", the Earth portal protectors from evil shifters, need to find their fated mates to strengthen the relations of all the planets involved in the Shifter League. This is the story of bear shifter & alien prince "Jack" and dating coach Sierra.

Human relationships seem to be a bit more complicated than "Jack" thought it would be. Who better than a dating coach to help him. Instead she is the only one his bear wants. Misunderstandings, some very funny...no hilarious, and some not so funny misunderstandings ensue.

Spoiler, seriously and with a bunch of sass, read this if no other reason to read about the Furry lifestyle, and I don't just mean shifter lives! OMG. I laughed & loved that part of the plot.

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the first book in the "Dream Team Shifters" series. It made me sad and it made me laugh, great start to any series.
Standalone with no cliffhangers.
Jack is new to the planet earth and needs to find a woman to be with so the other believe he is settled, bUT hevery doesn't want love. He doesn't have any interest in finding his mate. Then he locks eyes with her, can he hold out, his bear wants her.
Sierra is struggling to make ends meet and take care of her sick grandma. Her new client (she's a dating coach) is a hard one to figure out, plus he's crazy hot and the attraction is strong. She has been burned before and isn't sure if she's ready to try love again.
Looking forward to the other guys finding their mates.

COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY TO PREVENT EMBARASSMENT

I received this audio book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review

Jack is an alien bear shapeshifter, from the planer Pavrok, who has traversed a portal with five other worlds to save the earth from another species called the Krita who are trying to get universal domination by traveling through the portals on Earth.

Sierra is a dating specialist that Jack’s bear recognizes as their mate as soon as he sees her. Things get hectic and the fun begins as Jack tries to wend his way into talking to other women when he only wants Sierra.

The miscommunication between Jack and Sierra turns the story into a great rom-com with twists and turns. I couldn’t stop laughing at some parts.

[WILMA from the Netherlands · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the 1st book in the dream team shifters series. Can the Prince find his mate in time or will the evil shifters destroy everything? It is a good start for this new series. The story is entertaining and the characters are fun and go well together. This book really makes you laugh, it's full of funny moments. This book also shows that talking to each other helps, so there need be no misunderstandings. The story stays interesting and you will keep reading to see what happens next. It has nice characters and I love Sierra's grandmother, she is very funny. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Jack is a bear shifter who came from an alien planet to help the shifters already here to protect the universe. No big deal, right? But when he finds that he needs to find a mate he is totally out of his comfort zone. Enter Sierra a dating coach with relationship problems. The shifters think this is a perfect solution but when Sierra turns out to really be Jack's fated mate he panics. These are more delightful characters in a world within our own. They are dealing with the usual comedy of errors caused by the shifters' trouble understanding earth customs. This story has an added quirk that I found hilarious.

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Fake Fiancé Furry Bear by Leela Ash is the series opener for her new Dream Team Shifters series. This is a really fun read. From page one to the very last, this read is an adventure. Jack is a Bear Shifter Prince from another planet sent to Earth on a mission, but he has his own agenda as well. Sierra is a dating coach that hasn't had the best of luck. When the group comes up with the genius idea to have Sierra coach Jack to help him fit in with the humans, the fun begins in earnest. You won't want to put this one down! Sexy shifters, prospective mates, steamy situations and lots of laughs!

Jack is part of a dream team of shifters from another planet to protect Earth from an evil coming to destroy it. Its not long before he finds his mate on Earth and tries to figure a way to court and claim her. Sierra is a dating coach and that's how things start of between her and Jack. Sparks fly between them and soon she doesnt want to find a woman for him because she wants Jack. Will Jack's secret have her ending things between them? Can Jack show her they can be together?

This is an amazing story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

[LA FITCH · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just love this series. Jack is a bear shifter and part of the Dream Team of Shifters who needs to find a human mate on Earth to ensure the Shifter League will accept his assistance. Jack sees Sierra while he was with three friends in a diner and it is instant attraction. Sierra is a dating consultant to help people find their love and is approached by Jack to see if she can help him find a human female but not one he would want a relationship with. Jack was unable to save his betrothed on his planet from being killed in a battle so refuses to be responsible for anyone else. Unfortunately Sierra becomes very important to him in this highly entertaining story. Add in the furry convention and misunderstandings and this is a must-read.

[Sandy · Rating 5 out of 5]

The writing made the story feel fresh as select shifters from other worlds were on Earth to protect Earth and their own planets from evil. There were several moments in the story that were funny. Some were because of the communication differences and some were intentional by the characters. Sierra is a dating coach who takes on Jack who is a "Canadian." They are drawn to each other and although Jack knows Sierra is his mate, she doesn't understand why she feels the way she does. Grandma is fabulous and knows more than Sierra. I'm glad they got their HEA and want to see the other guys find their mates too.

[Kim Cobb · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jack came from another planet to help protect Earth. He is a bear shifter and leader of the "Dream Team" and as the leader, he needs to set the example and find a mate. Sierra is a woman who has had a lot of trouble with dating and works as a dating coach. They meet at a diner and sparks begin to fly. Miscommunication and misunderstandings come about and now the question comes up can they survive it? What happens when Sierra finds out what Jack is and why he left him? I loved reading this book. I can't wait for the next one. Thank you. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of the book.

An evil enemy is coming. Shifters of Earth found the portals and have contacted shifters on the other worlds to help protect them. A "Dream Team" of shifters from the other worlds have come to Earth to do the job. Can they protect the Earth and their home planets while finding their mates?
This is Jack and Sierra's story. Sweet with heat. There is insecurity, miscommunication, a bit of humor and lots of tenderness! It's a fun read.

Whenever I see this author's name on a book I know I'm in for a fun read and Fake Fiancé Furry Bear was no exception. It's the first book in the Dream Team Shifters series by Leela Ash. I thought the story was very entertaining and was so easy to read. These alien shifters have come from another planet and have very different beliefs/histories from the shifters found on Earth. Jack, the alpha shifter is a prince but finds himself a little out of his depth here on Earth as he tries to find himself a mate. His mate is Sierra but she doesn't seem to realise that at first.

One thing i have to say is that if you love your shifter, alien romances and a good laugh then you will definitely love this book....i laughed so much while reading this book that my family wanted to know what i was reading ....thank you Leela Ash for putting a smile on my face and taking me away even for a few hours from the reality of the tragedy and difficulties the world is going through....for that alone i wish i could give more than 5 stars

Terrific start to a new series and I love the storyline of the Dream Team. The grandmother is a real hoot, and the whole furry situation was hilarious, especially at the convention. Laughed so much more than stressed while reading this. The ending was perfect. Would love to read about some of the antics the grandmother and Jack could get into, especially if Sierra was indisposed with a pregnancy. I see a whole lot more coming from this group of characters, and can not wait.

Such an outstanding book, never heard of someone with a career like Sierra’s. I loved the conclusion she came to about Jack, it’s kind of funny when you think about it, especially when it’s not happening to you. I loved the passion, suspense and surprises throughout this book. Sierra’s grandma is something else, loved her character. Not a boring moment in this outstanding book.

Book 1 in a new series, this book is entertaining and funny. Jack needs to show his team that he can commit and when he goes to a dating coach he decides to ask her to fake that they are together so he can fit in. But Jack has a secret and when he opens up and tells Sierra a misunderstanding occurs causing a hilarious scene. I look forward to meeting the other Dream Team members in the upcoming books. I received this as an ARC and give my honest review.

Pretty good for a series starter. The story between these two is pretty clear cut. Which also included some misunderstandings. Whoops! Guess if things were made clearer, then there wouldn't have been that misunderstanding. But, hey! That's what makes part of Leela's books so amazing! That plot twist she throws in her books. The fact that this is yet another amazing HEA offer given four point five stars.

Fake Fiancé Furry Bear is book one in the series Dream Team Shifters by author Leela Ash. Incredibly entertaining storyline filled with just about everything that will you wanting more. They come from another planet- heroes that help save our Earth. This particular alpha shifter is a bit awkward - a bit lost and everything you could ever want in a male.
Enjoy!!

Jack came here with 5 others to protect the portals from the Krita. Sierra tends to lose her clients before matching them. When Jack sees her he knows she is his mate. The fun begins when he talks to other women and he only wants Sierra. This has funny and wth scenes. You could almost feel the emotions. great characters and story cannot wait for the next one.
