tDonna L4。0 out of 5 stars ExplosiveReviewed in the United States on July 27， 2021I enjoyed these seven novellas by this group of talented authors。 They all share a shifter theme with strong alpha men and feisty women。MAMUUT’S HAVEN by Morganna Williams was a favorite of mine。 It was a short，sweet shifter romance。 Fantasy at its best。 The words paint a vivid image of both Bruin， Haven and their children。Haven， a cougar shifter， initially fought Bruin tooth and nail， but he soon overpowered her。 tDonna L4。0 out of 5 stars ExplosiveReviewed in the United States on July 27， 2021I enjoyed these seven novellas by this group of talented authors。 They all share a shifter theme with strong alpha men and feisty women。MAMUUT’S HAVEN by Morganna Williams was a favorite of mine。 It was a short，sweet shifter romance。 Fantasy at its best。 The words paint a vivid image of both Bruin， Haven and their children。Haven， a cougar shifter， initially fought Bruin tooth and nail， but he soon overpowered her。 He was determined to find an earth mate of his own to live on Terra Arcus as part of the clan Mamuut。I loved the joy Haven found in the little things she discovered on Terra Arcus。 I also liked liked the strong family values and a protective streak that saw both Bruin and Haven fight for their daughters futures against the High Council。This novella contains some scorching hot descriptive sex scenes that were definitely off the charts。 Throw punishments， and you have the complete package。 。。。more

Seven great stories， by seven great authors about 7 strong， courageous women and the alpha shifters that want to posses them。 I read Blackwell’s Price by Maren Smith。 Cyan is a survivor and will do whatever it takes， including "selling" herself to the Brides of Terra Arcus Program to insure her family is taken care of。 Blackwell wants the payment he has been promised by the Benefactor and council members who owe him for running the auction and making them a lot of money。 So， he takes Cyan。 They Seven great stories， by seven great authors about 7 strong， courageous women and the alpha shifters that want to posses them。 I read Blackwell’s Price by Maren Smith。 Cyan is a survivor and will do whatever it takes， including "selling" herself to the Brides of Terra Arcus Program to insure her family is taken care of。 Blackwell wants the payment he has been promised by the Benefactor and council members who owe him for running the auction and making them a lot of money。 So， he takes Cyan。 They have an interesting dynamic I found very compelling。 I have to say， this one story in the anthology caused me to buy the whole book。 So even though I read Maren Smith's book for Booksprout， I bought them all。 I can't wait to read the rest of the books。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

"Claimed Brides" is a collection of seven thrilling shifter-themed novellas from seven awesome authors。 It includes contributions from Pepper North， Allysa Hart， Maren Smith， Golden Angel， Delta James， Morganna Williams， and Lesley Clark。"1。 A POLAR SECOND CHANCE by PEPPER NORTH Clan Thorbin， polar bears， was located above the Night Wing Eyrie， gryphons and they had participated in the bride auction， where the gryphons had not。 They were lucky enough to have a total of five Earth brides。 If you "Claimed Brides" is a collection of seven thrilling shifter-themed novellas from seven awesome authors。 It includes contributions from Pepper North， Allysa Hart， Maren Smith， Golden Angel， Delta James， Morganna Williams， and Lesley Clark。"1。 A POLAR SECOND CHANCE by PEPPER NORTH Clan Thorbin， polar bears， was located above the Night Wing Eyrie， gryphons and they had participated in the bride auction， where the gryphons had not。 They were lucky enough to have a total of five Earth brides。 If you read the first book in this series， then you know Marisol is mated to the Chief。 That mate claiming will be challenged with the assertion being made he had abused his power。 Once it was determined Marisol and Turi were true mates， it was acknowledged that the women needed to pick the mate that was right for them rather than suffer through a mating that would not benefit the clan。 That's when Nale， along with three others males with Earth women， decided to bring Ruth to the council meeting and allow her to find her happiness。 At thirty-nine， Ruth thought she was too old for Feir， but Fate had other plans。 It's a wonderful DD/lg story with polar bear shifters。 As much as I enjoyed this one， you know I want to learn Nale's story and hope he's given his happiness as well。2。 DADDY'S NAUGHTY MATE by ALLYSA HARTtIf you read 'Daddy's Stowaway' by Allysa Hart in the "Marked Brides" anthology， then you know that Callie was a stowaway aboard the craft bringing Earth women to Terra Arcus。 She'd officially been denied the opportunity to participate so she immediately seized the chance to swap places with a woman who changed her mind。 Ms。 Hart has given us the continuation of Rego and Callie's story with Rego's past catching up to him and Callie's never-ending curiosity continuing to get her into trouble。 There's betrayal， lies， subterfuge， murder， along with the most important discovery of all， and it's made by Callie。 3。 BLACKWELL'S PRICE by MAREN SMITHJust wow！！ Maren Smith brings us 'Blackwell'。 He's the man who holds the auctions and keeps the clans from attacking each other and the stage。 He's also the last of his kind， a black jaguar with white stripes and blue eyes。 Part of Blackwell's contract for his services is to be paid with one of the women from the auction and he's tired of waiting。 He confronts the Benefactor and Council demanding he receives payment from the next shipment。 Cyan had signed the contract and agreed to become a bride but somewhere along the way， she had the feeling she had made yet another mistake in her life。 What a compelling story Ms。 Smith has given us。 I want to know more about what happened with the council members！！！4。 MARKED BY THE GRYPHONS by GOLDEN ANGELDid I somehow tell Golden Angel that Gryphons were one of my all-time mythical beings and not remember？ Just look at the picture I use！！ Zex， oldest and Alpha of the Night Wing Eyrie， Hadist， and Dion were brothers and gryphon shifters。 While flying， when Dion sees an unguarded female running from either something or someone， he decides he's going to take her and present her to his brothers as their mate since their Eyrie was not participating in the bride auctions。 Zex gave a resounding NO and it was decided， after finding out Ruth was mated and pregnant， that she would be returned。 Upon doing so， Feir， her mate， was a seer and immediately had a vision explaining the brothers needed to go to the next bride auction and find the woman who had a feather marking on her hip。 Was it Fate？ Eve was the daughter of parents who owned a successful business， had position， power， and money but lacked a loving relationship between parent and child。 She was planning to destroy her parents' status and take over they wanted her to sign up for the bride auctions in Terra Arcus in order to make contacts and hopefully come back with technology no one else had。 Did I mention none of the brides that had previously gone had come back to earth？ This is a quick， easy， sexy tale that only Golden Angel can tell。 Life lessons were taught and learned， domestic discipline is of course an option， making this a delightful tale I didn't want to put down。 I'm so glad this author was a contributor to this year's anthology！！5。 SABRETOOTH by DELTA JAMESTegan Mason is a journalist who has started to question what the government is telling them concerning the Terra Arcus project。 She's asked numerous friends and relatives if they'd heard from the young women who had left。 Some claimed they had volunteered as a bride， some claimed they had gone to work on a project with the Terra Acrus but all agreed， no one had known ahead of time nor had they heard anything since。 Tegan's boss would not believe or give her the okay to write a series piece about any of her concerns。 And because she kept asking questions， a high-ranking member of the government wanted her silenced。 She was soon taken against her will， boarded on the transport， and made part of the Terra Acrus bridal program。 Sarek is the Alpha of the Northern Tribe of the Clan Sabre warriors。 He and the Clan had no intention of participating in an auction。 No sabertooth worth his weight would be happy with a mate just handed to him。 The plan？ To sneak onto the transport ship that had brought the women and steal those eligible to become mates。 Taking an Earther woman before she was sold ensured no one would know about and they wouldn't have breached the terms of the agreement。 Besides， neither the Earthers nor those at the Capital would want anyone to know there were women missing。 Delta James has once again given us a storyline filled with intrigue， strong characters， Fate-induced mates， and off-the-chart chemistry。 Yes， Clan Sabre believes in a strong hand when it comes to taming their mates。 I just loved this and can't wait until the next story comes for this group。6。 MAMUUT'S HAVEN by MORGANNA WILLIAMStBruin is a Mamuut shifter and younger brother of the Alpha Drakier。 Last year， Drakier had found his mate， Shiloh。 Bruin， being an accomplished pilot and their clan owning their own spacecraft， intended to go to Earth and find a mate that had the same admirable qualities as his brother's mate。 He'd located her scent and tracked it， eventually saving her from four men， to ultimately claim her。 Turned out， Haven and the four young children， three females and one male， she cared for was the last of their Quora or cougar shifters。 OMF， I thought it with Drakier and Shiloh's story and I'll reiterate now with Bruin and Haven's story …。 Who wouldn't want a Mamuut shifter with his talented trunk？ This couple has their own challenges with a command appearance before the High Shifter Council。 Wait until you read their decision。 What a great story！！7。 THEIR SASSY MATE by LESLIE CLARKtMalachi， Alpha of the wolf pack on Terra Arcus， Aric， his beta， and Natalie had asked Raze to go to Earth and just check on Natalie's sister Susie to make sure she was all right。 That's all he had to do。 He eventually found her and followed her to where Susie was making inquiries at the government office， trying to get information on her sister Natalie。 It had been over a year and Susie had yet to hear from her。 Not having any luck with the information and almost in tears from the person not really caring she was about to leave when Raze approached her。 He told her he knew her sister Natalie and if she wanted， he could take her to his female alpha who had answers for her。 Without even thinking， Susie agreed to go with him。 After leaving Earth and on their way to Bella Luna their passage was blocked by three men who were beating another down on the ground。 Susie really didn't know why she trusted Raze or felt the battered man was so important to her but she knew they had to save him。 This was another great addition to the "Marked Brides" series。 I loved the triad element ~whew~ and hope we get to read more of this pack next time。I absolutely loved the first book， 'Marked Brides'， in the "Brides of Terra Arcus" series so there was no way I could let this one come and go without getting my own copy and finding out if it would continue in the same thrilling trajectory as its predecessor。 It does！！ It's so wonderful！ Each of these talented authors has brought their story to fruition and brought me back to a world I thoroughly enjoyed with characters that had personalities that were easy to relate to and chemistry that brought contagious reactions just from being a voyeur of their words。 Congratulations to all of you and I hope it comes again because there are so many more stories from these Clans I want to read about。 。。。more

I am reviewing the three stories I read。 Maren Smith， Morganna Williams and Delta James。Maren Smith's novella "Blackwell's Price "。The book is light on shifter notion ， heavy on sci-fi。 A story of two damaged people that found their consolation in the other。 While the story was good， I wished the epilogue was about Cyan and Blackwell lives and how meeting each other change them for better。 I even wished it might carry a surprise pregnancy because each one had finally found their soulmate 。 As it I am reviewing the three stories I read。 Maren Smith， Morganna Williams and Delta James。Maren Smith's novella "Blackwell's Price "。The book is light on shifter notion ， heavy on sci-fi。 A story of two damaged people that found their consolation in the other。 While the story was good， I wished the epilogue was about Cyan and Blackwell lives and how meeting each other change them for better。 I even wished it might carry a surprise pregnancy because each one had finally found their soulmate 。 As it stood ， the ending was unnecessarily violent and did not add much to the love story。 I wish the author can do a rewrite of the epilogue。 The epilogue only， the rest is good。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。Morganna Williams novella "Mamuut's Haven" 。 A simple love story as expected from the author。 It is so easy to connect with the characters and their stories。 I like the thoughtful depiction of the children's personalities and how they react to the stranger they saw or when he turned to be a mammoth or when they saw the tiger。 Brief sentences were used but were enough to give a whole picture about the situation。 This novella is a five star read。Delta James' novella " Sabertooth " A continuation of the Saber clan story that started in the first book but a different branch。 I am not in a favour of reading about medical exam or public spanking ， I prefer things to be intimate and private。 Aside from that， the story is well written and the steam is high。 The women in Delta's stories are strong with iron will。 。。。more

A must read。 I am hoping that there will be another anthology like this next year。 It was great seeing the return of Pepper North's Popular series。 A must read。 I am hoping that there will be another anthology like this next year。 It was great seeing the return of Pepper North's Popular series。 。。。more

Unusual read。I got a free copy of Pepper North's story 'a polar second chance' and really enjoyed it。 Not having read the 1st anthology in this series I found the world building really unusual and the characters intruiging。I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the stories in this set。Highly recommended。 Unusual read。I got a free copy of Pepper North's story 'a polar second chance' and really enjoyed it。 Not having read the 1st anthology in this series I found the world building really unusual and the characters intruiging。I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the stories in this set。Highly recommended。 。。。more
