by Becca Fanning

TITLE: Rock

SERIES: Secret Baby Bears #2

ARC Received From: Becca Fanning

# OF STARS 4

Genre: PARANORMAL

Pages: 110

Overview:

Gemma had been to her fair share of parties, but this one was a bit different. It wasn’t that long ago that she was a wild party girl, hitting up frats and luring studs into her web of drama and seduction. But those days were behind her. Today’s party was for her young son, Arthur. As a rambunctious two year old, she hoped that he would have fun and remember it. Her back yard started filling with guests, including a tall broad-shouldered man whose eyes she found entrancing…

Rock wasn’t sure how this was supposed to go. He was a complete stranger, showing up at this lady’s house and needing to have a very intimate conversation with her. He thought about turning around, getting back into his car and driving away. But then he heard a little laugh coming from the back yard. He knew instantly that it was his cub, and nothing was going to stop him from being the best father he could be!

This 10,000+ word Novella contains secret baby Bear Shifter hotness, a Happily Ever After, No Cheating and No Cliffhanger!Also included are some free bonus stories as my thanks to you.

This book was good. My only complaint is that it was to short and left me wanting a bit more at the end. Overall its about a mistake turning into a happily ever after. I cant wait to read the rest of the series to see if it gives us more information.

I received an ARC version of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Delphine knew the line of work she was in was dangerous. Ok, dangerous was an understatement. Being an assassin in the employ of the Mason Corporation meant you flew around unknown stretches of space and carried out your mission. Sometimes this meant you slipped poison in someone’s drink and were two parsecs away while they choked on their own blood. But sometimes it meant you got sloppy and took a tranq dart from someone you weren’t expecting. Waking up strapped to a chair surrounded by your Bear Shifter targets was the icing on the cake, really.

Custer looked down at the woman strapped to the reinforced restraint chair. Her eyes glittered as they darted across the men and women standing around her. Her forearms flexed, strands of genetically enhanced muscle fibers pulling taut, trying to snap her handcuffs. Not a single bead of sweat flowed down her face: she was a professional and surely very expensive. She knew she wouldn’t leave this room alive, but that didn’t break her. Custer couldn’t help but find himself intrigued…

This 17,000+ word novella has hot Space Bear Shifter action, a Happily Ever After, no cheating and no cliffhangers! I’ve attached some free stories afterward as my thanks to you.

Why did I agree to this heist? This question had been plaguing Zosha since she stepped foot on Dalos XI. It definitely didn’t pay well enough to risk getting a phaser blast through her skull. It certainly wasn’t for a good cause, though her fixer Spinner handled all the contract details. Deep down she knew why: she was the best damned thief in four sectors. What else would she do with herself if she wasn’t constantly riding the greatest adrenaline rush she knew? Now she just had to sneak aboard this smuggler ship and she’d be off this damned planet…

Rick didn’t much care for stowaways. In his time smuggling cargo, he’s had to take dozens off the Breakwater, most of them still breathing. Why did they always think they could just slink into the cargo hold and hide behind a box? Like, really? He didn’t know this one’s story, but he could smell her. Her scent intrigued him, but before he had time to make polite introductions or throw her out on her ass, a group of dock officers headed their way. He’d have to deal with her later.

This 20,000+ word novella has hot Space Bear Shifter action, a Happily Ever After, no cheating and no cliffhangers! I’ve attached some free stories afterward as my thanks to you.

This is book 2. We meet up with the crew again and this time its Rick who falls. She is hiding on the ship but is found. When she reveals all will they help her or force her off the ship? What will they say when they find out who her contact is? What will happen next?

Genre: PARANORMAL

Pages: 113

Overview:

Sweetwater – sweet only in name…

Karen’s not exactly a hopeless romantic. Having gone through college on the back of an exotic dancer career, she’s far and well lost her hope in male decency. Even when she thought she found a man worth his salt, he turned out to be nothing but a stalker creep. So when SassyDate, a dating app, throws her together with a sexy werebear from Wyoming, Karen’s naturally skeptical. But what’s life worth if a woman isn’t willing to take a risk now and then with her heart, right?

And if said risk takes her away from her problematic ex, all the better.

Evan Grimpaw is a big believer in what comes around, goes around. As an underground MMA fighter, that usually means someone’s fist flying towards his face. As one of the Alpha brothers of the local werebear clan, Evan’s seen his share of trouble, but nothing like the kind that walks in right along with the woman of his dreams. One look at Karen tells him he must have her and for once, Evan has something worth fighting for other than his own pride.

With a wolf-bear war waging in the little town of Sweetwater, Karen must find a way to not only escape her fate so far, but change the one in store for her and Evan. Is he worth the trouble, or is it just too much to handle?

Big Bear Trouble is a paranormal shifter romance novel set in small town USA. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone and has a guaranteed happy ending, plenty of steam and all the growly werebears you can handle! And sometimes more than that. 

The book was fun. There where some areas that where intense and had you on the edge. Then there was areas that had you laughing you but off. We meet Karen who has bad luck with men and decides to give it one more chance and joins a dating site. Evan has had some bad luck with women and has decided on joining a dating site.

Annie Heathcoat always dreamed of how her wedding was going to be. White kinetic fabric dress, the latest grav-heels and a sea of her loved ones all blinking away tears of joy. But this wasn’t a dream: it was a nightmare. Instead of her father giving her hand in marriage, he’s lost it in a game of poker to the galactic war criminal Strathmore. But if fate had dealt her a bad hand, it was time to flip the damned table and run.

Captain Leo Ingram. Smuggler. Bear Shifter. Lover. Or at least that’s what his business card said. Not that the mewling merchant in front of him cared about any of that. This was a quick hand-off, merchandise for credits. Then he and his crew would be back aboard the Breakwater and off to the nearest trade port to drink and piss their ill-gotten gains away. But before they could finish the deal, a young woman stumbled out of the underbrush into their illicit business deal. Was that…a wedding dress?
