Sylvie Sage had one rule: never mix love with magic.

But when a love-warding candle misfires and binds her to Nicholas Whitmore—the town’s flirtiest tiger shifter—Sylvie finds herself stuck in a magical bond she never wanted… and can’t break.

He’s chaos in a leather jacket. She’s order in a maxi skirt. And the universe? Apparently determined to tangle their fates like an overgrown vine spell.

Sylvie is desperate to undo the connection before her magic combusts—or worse, before her heart starts to trust the one man she swore she’d never fall for.

But the bond won’t budge.

And the more time they spend together, the more the sparks start to feel suspiciously like something real.

Now all Sylvie has to do is keep her candles from exploding, her tiger shifter from looking too good in flannel, and her heart from making the same mistake twice.

Because the magic might not care what she wants…  But it absolutely knows who she needs.

Grizzly shifter Bill Torben has spent his life working for his family’s brewery and has loved every minute of it, although he’s a liiiittle bit envious of his younger brother leaving town and almost immediately finding his fated mate. But the brewery has been on shaky ground for the past few years, and Bill’s sense of responsibility won’t let him step away to look for a new future of his own.

And it’s just as well, because Gwen Booker is about to rock his world. Hired to be the musical talent at the brewery’s annual Oktoberfest, Gwen bursts onto the scene with beauty, enthusiasm, talent…

…and the wrong kind of music. There was a mixup somewhere along the way, and they hired rock musician Gwen Booker instead of jazz musician Gwendolyn Brooker

…and Bill has never been so grateful for a mistake in his life. Now, if they can navigate a path through love, music, and homebrew beer, together they might just get OctoBEARfest back on its feet!

Fired Up Love by Milly Taiden

Posted July 15, 2025 by Faeshifter in Kindle Unlimited, Paranormal Romance, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Series, Shifters & Magic / 0 Comments

Lioness shifter Zina Parker has poured every coin of her inheritance into Purrfect Oasis Spa. Opening day should be a triumph, yet one smoldering glance from a dragon elder sets her nerves fizzing harder than her espresso machine. Commanding, unreadable Xai Emberwylde strides in with a “routine inspection,” but the way his molten-gold eyes linger on Zina’s mouth has nothing to do with building codes. Her lioness purrs; Zina growls back. She does not have time for destiny-level distractions.

Five-hundred-year-old dragon shifter Xai is used to ruling every boardroom and council chamber with icy precision- until a petite lioness in yoga pants flips his world on its horns. Zina’s quick wit, sun-kissed scent, and steel-spined loyalty ignite a wildfire beneath Xai’s centuries-old self-control. His inner dragon croons to claim the fiery spa owner, but Xai’s new elder duties -and lethal politics that follow them- demand flawless focus, not the intoxicating taste of lemon panna cotta kisses.

When sabotage rocks the spa and an ancient Blood-Moon ritual threatens to rip the ley-lines of Enchanted Falls apart, Zina and Xai must fuse lion ferocity with dragonflame to protect the town- and each other. A hostile takeover contract with a hidden mating clause, a kidnapped heiress, and the resurrection of the long-dormant Founding Pyre force them into a perilous dance of claws and embers. Only by embracing the impossible bond blazing between them can they stop the dangerous bid for ultimate power before the moon bleeds red.

Sometimes the hottest spa treatment is the dragon determined to claim your heart.

Reading All the Books!

Posted July 14, 2025 by Faeshifter in Shifter Haven Discussion / 0 Comments

I mentioned in an earlier post that I’d been away from Shifter Haven for a while due to a fall and a long rehabilitation and recovery time.  Since getting back into reading “all the books” it seems like there is a pattern right now of mostly Milly Taiden stories.  I love her series, as well as when she has a writing partner.  And she is such a prolific writer, with so many worlds to explore!  So while I get “caught up” (if there really is such a thing), it does seem that I’m neglecting other authors.  Not a conscious decision, it simply seems that these are the stories that I’m drawn to right now.  And to be completely honest, I have so many series (authors) to get caught up on that binge-reading a series seems the most logical way to ensure that I don’t miss something.

There are other series and authors in my purchased personal collection, e-ARCs from Booksprout or NetGalley, as well as from Kindle Unlimited, that will appear soon-ish, I promise.  But for now, I’m just going to enjoy getting back into the reading, reviewing, posting groove… however the timing on that works out.  🙂

Do you binge-read series?  In my opinion, it’s the absolute best way to be immersed in a series (world)!

Lion on Loan by Zoe Chant

Posted July 12, 2025 by Faeshifter in Kindle Unlimited, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Series, Shifter Shorts / 0 Comments

He’s just lion around on the job…
Lion shifter Elliott Harkness is in Ireland for the dream vacation of a lifetime—and helping the Shamrock Safari Wildlife Park do some fundraising by staying there for a few days! After all, it’s not often that a shifter gets to display his animal form in public, and being the ‘lion on loan’ means Elliott can show off while doing some good for the always-underfunded park.

She’s pawsitive something’s wrong…
Aoife Gallagher loves her education and outreach job at the Safari Park, but there’s something weird going on there. Bringing new animals into a zoo isn’t a fly-by-night operation, but as long as she’s worked here, there has been a magnificent menagerie of exotic animals who seem to drop by for a week and then disappear again. And the new lion is in a completely unsafe enclosure! And is also…the hottest guy she’s ever seen?

Together they’ll make a purrfect team…
The instant connection Aoife and Elliott feel would be wonderful under any other circumstances—but today Aoife has to convince a rude investor that the wildlife park’s mission to protect endangered species is worth their money, while also dealing with an ill-mannered child and the revelation that the park she’s loved for so long is a refuge for shifters as well as an ordinary wildlife park. It’s all too much—except Elliott is there to be Aoife’s ‘mane man,’ and his steady support (not to mention his incredible biceps) help Aoife get through a day that goes wrong from the start—and right at the end, in all the very best ways.

Bear Naked Truth by Kala Aster and Milly Taiden

Autumn Sinclair arrived in Celestial Pines to cleanse haunted houses — not fall for brooding innkeeper Dorian Hawthorne and his unsettlingly cozy, mildly possessed Briar Hollow Inn.

Dorian wasn’t supposed to be charming, funny, or protective. He was supposed to be gloomy, mysterious, and maybe a little tragic. But from their first meeting, with his golden eyes and flannel-wrapped muscles, he was dangerously warm—and undeniably intriguing.

As Autumn dove into the inn’s haunted past, she uncovered secrets older than the town itself, ones tied to a curse rooted in lost love and betrayal. Spirits lingered, not out of malice, but fear—a warning that history might repeat itself.

Together, Autumn and Dorian faced truths hidden in the whispers of restless ghosts.

But with the curse tightening its hold, Autumn had to decide: could she risk her guarded heart for a man who made her believe she finally belonged?

Or was history bound to repeat, dragging them both into its haunted embrace?

Welcome to Celestial Pines, where cozy meets paranormal, and love whispers through the veil.

Rings and Rumours by Mara Webb

A killer has come to Isle, and suddenly the grand reopening of Tilly Hudgins’ family hotel has gone from celebration to crime scene.

Tilly Hudgins has poured her heart and soul into restoring her family’s historic beachfront hotel. With her sassy familiar, Smudge, offering commentary at every turn, and her well-meaning but meddlesome Aunt Pearl “helping” in her own chaotic way, Tilly’s grand reopening weekend should be perfect.

That is, until a local real estate developer turns up face-down on the hotel’s lawn—very much dead and very much on Tilly’s property.

With the local paper pinning her as suspect number one, reservations canceling faster than she can say “I’m innocent,” and a magical community watching her every move, Tilly must unravel a web of island secrets before her dream business goes under and she trades her ocean view for prison bars.

Who knew reopening a hotel would be murder?
