Ruby Shae

This is yet another delicious and amazing tale from Rube Shae AND!! The start to a new series!! How much better could it be!!

Ethan has loved Tegan since the moment she was born and knew that she was his mate, when she turned 18! But Ethan has kept this wonderful blessing to himself, not because He wanted too! But because Tegan struggled with the one thing he could not help her overcome...she was not a bear!! Not that it made a difference to Ethan! He wanted her, but thought he was doing what show more was best for her...until she left!

Now Ethan is on a mission to get Tegan back in his life, even if that means defying his alphas wishes! But will Tegan believe him?

I'm completely enchanted by this new Blackbeary Creek series and it's only the first book! I absolutely loved Ethan and Tegan's characters, I'm also totally intrigued by Tristan! The hotel owners and the rest of Blackbeary Creek.

The plot was sweet but with the hint of the dark side. The writing was smooth and inspired....I cannot wait till book two!

I give Ethan 5 Stars! show less

I love anthologies because there are so many new authors that you can discovered all at once. This anthology had one of my favorite authors Charlene Hartnady which was the main reason I chose to read it. But there are also many entertaining short stories by some very good authors. I enjoyed most of the novellas with an exception of a few which were just too raunchy for my taste but most of them have interesting characters and story lines. Of all the shorts, for me the most enjoyable reads show more were:

Christin Lovell ~ A Beary Merry Christmas
V. Vaughn ~ Andre
Tasha Black ~ Ghost of Shifters Past
Charlene Hartnady ~ Shifter Beneath the Mistletoe
Harmony Raines ~ Bear Humbug
Ruby Shae ~ Little Drummer Bear
Emerald Wright ~ A Dragon’s Gift

H and h are in love. She leaves. H slides into depravity. h becomes school teacher. h comes back to town. big misunderstand is exposed. H feels terrible. yada yada yada...

Despite being a trope that is over done, this one is done better than many others.

Synopsis:

Quinn Miller, a polar bear shifter, is an enforcer at the North Pole. Protecting Santa’s Village is his number one priority, and the job leaves little room for anything else. A mistake made years ago hardened his heart, and he’d rather live alone than allow love to alter his judgment again.

Chloe Winters is free to celebrate Christmas for the first time in five years and she decides to spend it in Christmas Town, a popular tourist attraction, alone. When a sexy, muscle bound show more stranger offers her friendship, she’s reminded of her long ago wishes for someone to love her, curves and all.

When Santa issues an ultimatum, Quinn finds out the big man really does know everything. The challenge? Convince his curvy, damaged, mate that his love, and shifters and Santa, really do exist.



My review:

I have a soft spot for Christmas books. I loved this one. The very book to read when it's cold out and you're sitting in front of a nice fire with hot chocolate! show less
