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.

Mane Squeeze by Kala Aster and Milly Taiden

When a spellbound fae scholar crashes a rogue summoning circle and ends up magically tethered to Celestial Pines’ grumpiest shifter, sparks don’t just fly…

They explode under a full moon.

Lillith Verdan was supposed to cast one simple summoning. Quiet. Contained. Curse-free. But fate—and Dominic Kane’s ill-timed swagger—had other plans. One accidental ritual detonation, one proximity curse, and now they’re stuck thirty feet from each other until further notice. He’s the town’s reluctant Warden with a lion’s temper and a reputation for running solo. She’s chaos in boots, sarcasm on legs, and the only woman who’s ever made his instincts purr.

They try to keep their distance. They fail spectacularly.

Now the woods are waking, a fae prince is sniffing around, and the bond that shouldn’t exist is starting to feel a little too real.

Because magic may have cursed them…  But falling might be the part they chose.

Delilah Moonstone never planned to come back to Celestial Pines — not with a suitcase full of secrets and a heart still bruised by the boy who ghosted her under a full moon.

But when her grandmother’s magic shop starts losing its spark (and her talking cat starts offering unsolicited dating advice), Delilah finds herself face to face with Rollo Steele—her growly, flannel-wrapped ex, who now runs a magical animal sanctuary and looks like he could chop wood with his emotions.

Their reunion? Less sweet and more sassy. But the forest is acting strange, Wren is fading fast, and the town’s enchanted muffins have stopped glowing.

Delilah came home for duty. She didn’t expect fate to throw in a grumpy bear shifter, a magical mystery, and a second chance at the one man she swore she’d hex if she ever saw again.

Billionaire wolf Derek Spencer may have a rocky history with she-wolves, but there’s no one better to take as his date to the latest gala than the wolf he’s had his eye on ever since she applied to be his bodyguard—the remarkable Kate Hanover. Kate checks all the boxes for his perfect mate: she’s smart, sexy, and business savvy, not to mention one of the best bodyguards around.

But ever since Derek gave his bodyguard position to another wolf, Kate has been avoiding him. It’s only when she reluctantly agrees to be his date to the gala that she realizes why: the attraction between the two alpha wolves is undeniable, but Kate doesn’t want to end up as one of the billionaire’s many flings. The more time Kate and Derek spend together, the more they are in danger…of falling deeply in love.

A Bear to Ruin by Amy Pennza

Posted October 21, 2022 by Faeshifter in ARC, Booksprout ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

As the head of Bear Cove’s search and rescue team, I’ve got my hands full. Saving humans from frostbite and landslides is a full-time job. I work hard—and when it’s time to play I’ve got my own ways of letting off steam.

But with the arrival of Margot Sutton, my job just got a lot more demanding—and annoying. Pampered and sheltered her whole life, the princess of the Sutton Werewolf Pack’s reputation precedes her. Rumor has it her latest antics include sabotaging her wedding and setting the reception venue ablaze.

Now her fed-up father has dumped her in the Alaska wilderness, and he wants me to take her in hand. I’m supposed to keep her out of trouble and teach her some manners. Given her penchant for pyromania, I definitely can’t let her out of my sight.

Disgusted with my new babysitting assignment, I set out to ignore Margot as much as possible. But it’s hard to ignore her curvy body and kissable mouth. The tension simmers between us from the start, and when I find out daddy’s little firebrand has a submissive streak, the spark between us threatens to blaze into an inferno that could ruin us both.
