What’s better than shifter romance, a whole anthology of them! If you love shifters and steamy reads, then definitely check out Shifting into Love.

**Review for Claiming Selene by Margot Swan**

Selene has loved her BFF’s older brother for years. Unfortunately for her, he’s been away from Backbone Lair for 10 years. And just when she’s about to enter her first mating ceremony, Derrick returns.

Derrick has craved Selene for years. When he hears Selene is entering the mating ceremony he’s determined to become her mate….

This story is full of steamy shifter goodness and has a great storyline. I loved the characters and I can’t wait to see what else in this unique world Margot has created.

This is a quick read for an anthology, but each story has their strengths and trap you in their story lines.
Claiming Selene - Selene is a tigress with thoughts of love and happily ever after, but that is not the world she lives in. Derrick is a strong tiger who shouldn't think the way he does. Together these two young shifters must navigate what was and could be again. This is just the beginning of this Pride's tale and I can't wait to see what the next chapter brings.
Heritage - Matilde is a bird shifter (You don't see that everyday) that has been tasked with finding out secrets and OOOOHHHHH is this one a big one! But does she choose family over stranger? This is an interesting tale because again Bird shifter!!! But not only that, this could go anyway and it leaves the reader thinking.
Saving Their Mate - TRIGGERS - Raine thought she was riding high but then WTH happens and all is not as it seems. There is so much going on around her that she doesn't know but through some very dark motives she will learn really quick that all is not as she thought. Dark, Twisted and definitely on my TBR list in 2022.

The great park of having just 3 stories in this anthology is that we got a more in depth introduction of these characters that left you with a hunger for more.

3-pack if different shifter stories

Claiming Selene Book 1 in the Backbone Pride Series Margot Swan

The beginning of the book provides a warning: Contains shifter sex, very steamy scenes, and foul language. I’m already hooked 🥵
I loved this story of fated mates (my favorite in PNR) in a world where everyone says there’s no such thing.

HERITAGE A Shifter Paranormal Romance MELLE AMADE
This is a paranormal story about avian-shifters. I’ve always read about large animal shifters so this was a nice difference. It does end in a cliffhanger though.

Saving Their Mate Alexis Taylor & Beth Hendrix
This is a story with a conspiratorial twist. Ends in a cliffhanger with the rest of the story available at a later date.
Trigger warning: sexual assault

Claiming Selene was a fantastic story and I can’t wait for more!

I grabbed Shifting into Love so I could read Margot Swan’s new shifter novella. Oh. My. Goodness! This is going to be a great series folks!

In “Claiming Selene” by Margot Swan we meet the tigers of Backbone lair, mainly Derrick and Selene. This is a complete story and there is no cliffhanger, although now I am anxiously awaiting the next story in this series.

Selene is 25 years old and about to go into her first heat and “mating ceremony” and all she can think of is her best friend's older brother Derrick. She wants to choose him to be her mate for this ceremony because she has dreamt of him since she was 12!

Derrick is 30 years old and has been away from the lair for 10 years. 10 years of dreaming and wanting Selene. Now, Selene is entering her first heat and mating ceremony and he is back and determined to make sure she chooses him. What Selene and Derrick don’t know is that fate may have something to say about their “mating ceremony”.

This short novella was chock full of story, steam, and romance. The characters will draw you in but the world building and story will make you stay. Claiming Selene was a unique take on a shifter romance and I cannot wait to see what happens next, and next, and next…. I enjoy Margot Swan’s writing and her stories are unique and entertaining. I definitely recommend!

Amazing

I’m not sure what I can say about this anthology other then it’s a must read.
I didn’t feel that any of the anthologies ended on a cliff hanger that would annoy you if you get me. It’s clear some of them are going to be continued but they each finished at a good part.
I usually only read wolf shifting books so it was nice to read something that had difference kinds of shifter romances in it. I will definitely be on the look out for the full book of all of these anthologies.

I have only read one of the stories so far.

Claiming Selene by Margot Swan (5 stars)
I loved this story and it's definitely made me want to read more. Selene and Derrick belong to a pride that clings to the old ways, not changing in many years. They are forbidden from claiming each other, but their attraction seems too hard to resist.
I really enjoyed the world building and the way the pride exists was interesting. I can't wait for the next book to see what happens next.

This anthology is a little shorter than some of the others but it doesn't disappoint. It's full of shifters and I mean all kinds of shifters not just wolves and not to mention some vamps and hunters. These authors will capture your attention from the very beginning, and each story just sucks you farther into the anthology. I couldn't put this anthology down once I started it. I definitely recommend this anthology to everyone who loves shifters.

This is a shorter anthology, but great starts to a few stories. From tigers who mate to reproduce as the elders say to do, to shifters that break rules and involve hunters, to vampire, wolf and bear clans. This book is full of shifter love and action. I will say the last novella does have trigger warnings. Please be advised before going in.

Such amazing stories that I want to read more of! I love BBB anthologies! They find the most amazing authors and bring you into whole new worlds snd give you so many knew places to explore. They never cease to amaze me. There is a bit of a trigger in the last story, but all in all they were amazing. Spectacularly well written and I can’t wait to read more.

The first story and the last story were so captivating. All the stories were good but those 2 make me want to read the whole books now. I love reading anthologies because you get a taste of so many different authors and types of writing. I never knew I was into shifters until this book 😂.

I wonder if Raine is going to be the focus of a reverse harem? ❤

I enjoyed Shifting into Love. Most of the tales get 4/5 stars, except for the last one, with the triggers, gets a 3/5 stars. I just feel like, even though I love shifters, that this was not the anthology for me. It is well written, and enjoyable.

Short but oh so addictive

Fated mates that are illegal, obsessed vampire and protective wolves. This anthology has all that and more. Can't wait for 2020 and the full stories!

Nice Surprise.

This book was a nice surprise. In my experience, anthologies are a mixed bag. This book has more good stories than mediocre ones.
