Publisher's summary

These guys are smoking hot—and my students' uncles—and I swear I didn't mean to drunk dial them...

My life is a mess, and so is my house, but I'm a good teacher, right? So why are some of my best students going off the rails?

I meant to ring their uncles to let them know what was going on. But not like this. I drunkenly dump out all of my problems down the phone line, thinking it was my bestie on the other end.

But it was them. And now they want to fix everything, including me.

I'm terrified to let them in, wanting to claw back some kind of professional distance...but these guys? They think I'm their fated mate, and they'll do anything to make me happy.

Unfortunately, it doesn't take long to realize they've got a big, fat, hairy secret—one that could make an even bigger mess of my life.

This book is a standalone. HEA guaranteed.

Great read!

The narration was amazing and the story was superb. Only downside is I felt like the story dragged with maybe a bit too much drawn out filler. I got bored at some points and actually found my self skimming a few chapters, not that what I was skipping was bad, my ADHD just needed me to actually get to the point. I love Natalie’s story and Ellie’s was great addition to the series and I loved how the author wrote them in a little bit, made me want to reread Natalie’s story. I did get a bit confused at some points because her friends nickname was Cole and one of her mates name is Cole and the narrator made the names sound almost the same so a few times I was confused before I actually hear the difference in her tone between the characters. (I may have misspelt some of the names, sorry). Overall the book was funny, smutty, and just the right amount of fluffy and dramatic.

Dear Author,

*** Spoiler***


I'm so sad. You changed a universal Bear Shifter "law". In books one/two you established that the female would not go into heat until she was claimed by all of her mates. This was a major focus of their story. In the book you changed that when she went into heat after being claimed by only one. This incontinency took me completely out of the world you created. Had you stayed consistent I would have given you a 5 star rating. Granted if this was read as a stand alone no one would know however, someone wanting to continue the series would be turned off. I really hope this is something you can fix.

Love ❤️ Love ❤️

Thought I might have a heart attack at one point in the story but Ellie surprised us all with her strength! What a great story and cast of awesome characters. I’m absolutely hooked on Bear shifters now! ❤️💕. Please say there will be more?!?

I feel like I'm there!!

The world building is excellent and the narration is spot on. I feel like I am part of the story.

This book has some of my favorite tropes all in one

This book was absolutely incredible! The way everything unfolds is just so raw and real, it truly brought the story to life.The moment when El realizes the true nature of the guy's made my heart raced with anticipation.

I felt like I knew El personally, thanks to the incredible narration by Sofia Lette. She embodied the character perfectly, making me feel every emotion right alongside her. And let's not forget about the male narrator, Dorje Swallow, who brought the American accent to life flawlessly.

The depth of the characters in this book is simply astounding. You get to know them on such a personal level, it's like they're real people. And the heart-wrenching moments that occur throughout the story only serve to make it that much more captivating.

I don't want to spoil anything, but if you're a fan of strong heroines with their own flaws, and love a good shifter romance, then this book is an absolute must. Trust me, you won't be able to put down
