Shifters, Secrets & Surprises centers around Christmas time and gives a verity of shifters to enjoy - wolves, bears, dragons, and new kind a sasquatch. Each story is sweet, enjoyable, and has that Holiday feel.

Sasquatch Surprise by [a:Anna Lowe|4241741|Anna Lowe|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1459872490p2/4241741.jpg]

Sasquatch Surprise is a beautiful Christmas novella that gives you a great taste of the authors writing. Ms. Lowe is a fabulous storyteller and she has created a fun shifter romance with unique and enjoyable characters. This ones features a Sasquatch, which I have never read before in a shifter story until now.

Harrison and Nala have known each other most their lives. They’ve always been drawn to each other, but things happen and they part ways. They both needed to grow, before they could get their chance.

I very much enjoy the duel-POV’s. It’s alway’s a pleasure to dive into the thoughts of each character and be pulled into the emotions they feel. Things move at a steady pace, with some good action, and a sweet romance. We get a lovely holiday feel that takes place around Christmas time.

I loved this novella. It is a wonderful addition to The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch. It can be read as a stand-a-lone or part of the series. I highly recommend this author and her books.

Rated: 4 Stars


A Present for the Alphas (Hunted by the Alphas) by [a:Lily Thorn|13810189|Lily Thorn|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]

A Present for the Alphas is a sweet stand-a-lone novella. This story takes place during Yuletide and the author explained it beautifully.

We have Val who was once human, but now is a wolf shifter and mated to Ash and Blaze. We get to see the love that the pack has coming together as a pack to decorate and celebrate Yule, how they include their Alpha’s mate Val, who has never celebrated Christmas before, as well as the love Ash and Blaze have for their mate. I really liked the Holiday spirt in this one. We are also treated to a little M/F/M scene between our Triad couple.

I enjoyed this novella.

Rated: 3 Stars


One Bearry Night (Clan Conroe) by [a:Emma Alisyn|11040025|Emma Alisyn|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1445120952p2/11040025.jpg]

One Bearry Night is a quick, humors, and ends with a sweet Holiday surprise.

The story is book 4 in the series, but does stand-a-lone. It’s complete, but does have a little cliffhanger at the end which leads into the next couple after this one. The author in her notes points this out; before the story starts.

This was a fun and enjoyable novella. You could see where things where going, neither one of them knows that their being matched to each other, but still its funny to watch how it all unfolds. Some things happen to keep the story entertaining.

I would have liked more on Daamin and the shifters that are after his sisters. Other then not getting the full story on this I still very much enjoyed the humor and outcome on One Bearry Night. I’m curious enough to check out the other books in the Clan Conroe series.

Rated: 3.5 Stars


Dragon’s Christmas Captive (Lords of the Dragon Islands) by [a:Isadora Montrose|14554831|Isadora Montrose|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1459894902p2/14554831.jpg]

Dragon’s Christmas Captive was a sweet romance that will make you laugh and cry. We get a dragon shifter and a little pixie elf princess. It’s full of curses and magical jewelry.

Lexi, the pixie was cute, funny, and out to date with her thinking; which adds some very funny scenes. Theo, the dragon shifter has been looking for his destined mate, but hasn’t found her. What happens when a pixie and a dragon cross paths?

The only thing I had trouble with is them falling in love. I never felt their connection. Never felt them fall in love. Not sure why? But, it just never came together for me on the love front. Other then that I enjoyed this novella and am curious in checking out the other books in the Lords of the Dragon Islands series.

Rated: 3 Stars

I truly loved this novel and I was so sad for Iliana, a Nixie banned to the cold river because no one trusted her species! It wasn't her that killed sailors or took babies, but still no one trusted her enough the let her live in a house with heat. She was so cold living in the frozen river and she just wanted a warm home, a mate and a baby! I adored Jared and hoped that he'd get over his deadly fear of water and the evil that haunted his nightmares. He was twenty-five and he had to declare to find his mate, but he was a dragon shifter, but failed to get into the Swedish Royal Navy because he let doubt enter his heart.… (más)

This is a great anthology for anyone that enjoys dragon shifters. I love that DRAGONS LIKE IT HOT! includes stories by eleven different authors. Stories include:

KISS OF FIRE by Catherine Vale
ALIEN GENERAL'S WIFE (Draconians #4) by Scarlett Grove
BRINGING CHRISTMAS TO THE DRAGONS (Dragon Ruins 0.5) by Rinelle Grey
THE LOST TRIBE: The Complete Collection by Lola Kidd
DRAGON'S TREASURE (Lords of the Dragon Islands #1) by Isadora Montrose
Her Dragon's Bane Series books 1-3 by Harmony Raines
DAZZLED: RECKLESS DESIRES (Dragon Mates #1) by J.K. Harper

KISS OF A DRAGON (Fallen Immortals #1) by Alisa Woods
TAURUS (Guardians of the Stars Book 1) by Kim Faulks
FINDING HIS DRAGON (Dragon Blood #3) by Elianne Adams

One of my favorites is KISS OF A DRAGON by Alisa Woods. It is the first book in a nine book series. Lucian, Dragon Prince to the House of Smoke must take a human mate to produce an heir and continue a treaty with the Fae. He enlists the help of Arabella Sharp, to help find him a mate, but the only person that interest him is Arabella. This contemporary PNR takes place in Seattle. KISS OF A DRAGON is creative and exhilarating. I love that the dragons protect the unknowing humans. I also, love the explanation about how they stay hidden. The story was full of action and conspiracy. The House of Smoke has some attention-grabbing adversaries.

Most of these authors were new to me. I will definitely read more books by these authors. Each story was uniquely different and adventurous. This is a fabulous anthology to quench your dragon shifter craving.
