Publisher Description
Enter a world of smoldering shifters in this scintillating anthology headlined by New York Times bestselling authors Eve Langlais and Milly Taiden with brand-new, never published novellas!
Bearing His Sin
Cole should have killed Anja the moment he realized she was his mate. Instead, he let her live and now they’re on the hunt, chasing the morons who think they can force her to marry another man. Like hell. And while this shapeshifting bear might have his share of sins, he’s not going to let little things like murder and mayhem prevent him from having the woman meant to be the keeper of his heart.
Bought by the Bear
Josilyn Martinez just needed the money to help raise her nephew. That's it. There's no other reason she would take a job posing as a shifter's mate so he can assure his grandmother he's settled down. There's no reason to stay at his place so they learn "more about each other." And there's definitely no good reason she should get involved with the hard, hot, and handsome shifter that's hired her.
Xander just needs a fake mate for a week to get his grandmother off his back. But what's a bear shifter to do when the impostor mate he hired turns out to be his actual mate? All sweet, luscious curves and a heart of gold, Xander's not going to let his mate get away. Now all he has to do is show her that they belong together, one kiss and touch at a time...
The Alpha and I
Devon Kincaid is happy with her new life in Lowman, Idaho. Her little bar on the outskirts of the tiny, isolated town is doing well, and she’s not even interested in finding a man. But when she finds a bleeding man—a hot, hard, handsome, naked bleeding man—in the snow one night, Devon brings him home to care for him. He’s definitely not like any man she’s ever met before, but what she doesn’t realize is that he’s not just a man…
Liam Murphy isn't simply a werewolf. He's the Alpha. In a heated battle with a deadly bear shifter, he's moved his pack to the Sawtooth Wilderness in order to draw danger from them. He was hoping to escape his problems—but the last thing he expects to find in the isolated Idaho wilderness was his mate. Fragile and unfamiliar with the violent supernatural world, the only way he can protect Devon is to make her what he is: a werewolf. He only hopes that in the process convincing her to enter fully into his world, that he doesn’t drive away the one woman he can’t live without.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
These contemporary novellas about shape-shifters are marketed as erotic romance, but caveat emptor. An opening declaration of "Kill. Kill. And, yes, kill," uttered by an ursine stalker preparing to shoot a family in their own backyard, makes it clear that more than lust is being triggered here. Langlais's "Bearing His Sins" casts the stalker as a romantic hero despite his death threats, fondness for nonconsensual sexual contact, and nonexistent emotion. It's a thriller told in the dialect of alpha male pornography: "I've got something just the right size to stick in there." The casual objectification and misogyny sit oddly next to Taiden's sweet "Bought by the Bear," which features a relationship of convenience that turns into true love when a shifter hires a human woman (who's a survivor of domestic abuse) to pose as his mate for a family occasion. Baxter's "The Alpha and I" offers the subgenre's staple plot: a human woman living on the fringes of civilization encounters an unconscious stranger and takes him in, gradually discovering his shifting abilities and embracing his difference as he fights to keep them both safe from the evils of his world. Aside from shifter-as-hero, there is no common theme drawing the stories together, and no exceptional quality either.
