In the Mood Fur Love

Bearing His Touch by Eve Langlais Becka is in a whole heap of trouble. She was kidnapped by a seriously deluded guy, I mean c'mon he thinks he's a vampire! She has no clue why he thinks her blood is amazing and will give him superpowers! When she manages to escape she manages to find safety in the arms of Stavros. Stavros may have been canned from the police force, who knew they took a dim vision on appropriating pot?!?! But he is still a good guy, with strong protective instincts. He knows Becka is in dire straits and he wants to be the one to save her. After all she is his mate..he just needs to explain about being a bear! Hilariously funny when Stavros' crazy clan come clomping into his apartment! I enjoyed unravelling Becka's back story and why the rich dude was obsessed with her. Fake Mated to the Wolf by Milly Taiden Mates fur Hire have gone from strength to strength. But the guy in charge is a misogynistic, sexist, weasel. When his so called assistant (i.e She actually does all the work!) finally quits, the CEO becomes aware of the departments problems. He has been trying to track down his elusive mate from months, trying not to come on too strong an frighten her off. But now the ball is in his court and he is determined that he'll turn this "fake" mating into a real life HEA! Hilariously funny, I loved catching up with these characters from the early books. The Witch, The Werewolf and The Waitress by Kate Baxter Lowman, Idaho; middle of nowhere and the town that Ellie has been trapped in after a jealous rival cursed her to never leave the town limits. Now centuries later, she has reinvented herself so often that she just wants to be left alone. Colin wants to be a Sentry and take care of his pack. He did not factor in on meeting his mate or her being so mysterious. But if they work together they may just free Ellie from her prison. Fab story and intriguing characters.

I know that I have mentioned in another review that I don’t like reviewing anthologies. Doesn’t mean that I like reading them. I find reviewing anthologies difficult. Depending on how long the stories are in the book, my review could go on forever. So, this review is going to be short and sweet. Bearing His Touch While I enjoyed this book, it did rub me the wrong way in certain parts. I didn’t like that it took so long for Becka to tell Stavros why she had been kidnapped and beaten. That frustrated me. But, that was the only thing that annoyed me about the book. Everything else I loved. Stavros was such a goof. I had a laugh over the pot brownies incident. I liked how everything was wrapped up. I did like the twist with Becka’s Poppa. Didn’t see that coming. Fake Mated to the Wolf I enjoyed reading this story. I did have an issue with Hawke not knowing what went on in his company. Including what was happening to his mate. I kinda went “Ummmm, ok” when I read that part. But, after that was resolved, I loved the story. I wanted to know more about Robbie and I hope that he is featured in more books. He deserves his happy ending. I did think that Shawna was kind of a jerk to Hawke for 90% of the book. I mean, she knew about how they found their mate. But, she still thought Hawke was two-timing his mate with her? Hello, use your brains girlfriend. I liked the HEA that the author gave to everyone at the end of the story. The Witch, The Werewolf, and The Waitress This was my favorite story. Ellie and Colin were such jerks to each other when they first met. I enjoyed watching them fight over that cinnamon roll. Gave me a fit of the giggles. I did feel bad for Ellie. I couldn’t imagine being cursed how she was. Talk about being restricted and lonely. I thought the whole quest to set Ellie free of her curse was great. Including the ending. I will never look at timber wolves, cougars, elk, and coyotes the same again. Shudder. Again, loved the HEA for Colin and Ellie. There is Instalove in this book but, and I stress this, it worked. Werewolves and werebears are able to find their mates by smelling them. So, I didn’t mind the Instalove at all. Because it fits in with the lore. The sex in all three stories were hot. I had to fan myself after a couple of scenes because they were that good. If I had to pick the hottest couple, it would be Colin and Ellie. Talk about some steamy sex scenes. I am not putting up a like/dislike section to this review. If I did that, it would go on forever. I gave In the Mood Fur Love a 4-star rating. If you like shifter romances with steamy sex scenes, this is the book for you. I will give a trigger warning for Bearing His Touch and Fake Mated to the Wolf. Bearing His Touch has a pretty graphic beginning scene where Becka is being beaten. Fake Mated to the Wolf has a sexist boss and a scene where Shawna is being held hostage in her bedroom by some not so nice guys. Other than that, this book was a great read. I gave In the Mood Fur Love an Adult rating. There is graphic sex. There is violence. There is language. I would recommend that no one under the age of 21 read this book. I would reread In the Mood Fur Love. I would also recommend it to family and friends with a warning about possible triggers. I would like to thank St. Martin’s Press, St. Martin’s Griffin, and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review In the Mood Fur Love. All opinions stated in this review of In the Mood Fur Love are mine. **I chose to leave this review after reading an advance reader copy**
