Bestselling authors Candace Ayers and Kym Dillon bring you SHORT "lunchtime quickie" reads—condensed romances intended to be read in under 2 hours!
Welcome to Mystic Hollow where wildest dreams (trust me, they do get wild) come true.
As Alpha of Mystic Hollow's bear shifter clan, duty dictates my every move.
When the Shifter Council responds to our declining population by enacting the BfB (Brides for Beasts) program, the guys are pretty excited to be introduced to human females.
I am too, until I fall head over heels for the program coordinator who makes it very clear she is not one of the bride-wannabes.
Fine. I'm a patient man. I'll convince her. I have time.
Except I DON'T have time.
The council demands I be the first to select a bride—within two days!
Then I screw up, shift into a grizzly before her eyes, freak her the eff out...
...and she takes off running.
**This is a short, feel-good, instalove-inspired, fated mates bear shifter romance.**

Welcome to Mystic Hollow where wildest dreams (trust me, they do get wild) come true. I did it. I packed my bags, said adios to city life, and left my troubled past behind for a little town tucked in the bosom of nowhere. Why? Oh, let's call it the need for a fresh start. Or desperation. Yeah, we can call it desperation, that works. Why else would a shy, introverted bookworm like me sign up for an arranged marriage? Because any man is better ...

Let the games begin. They say I'm wild, untamed, savage. They're not wrong. I prefer my fur rather than skin. I haven't set paw in the village in sixteen years. Nor have I wanted to. Until now.

Auctioned off at the Alpha shifter ball, my fear turned into my fated mate. Searching for my twin sister had left me broke and up for auction at the Alpha shifters Ball. Adrian, the alluring Wolf who bought me, expected submission. All he got from me was a slap in the face. Despite my insubordination, he offered to help find my sister. In exchange, I was at his service. Working with him tested my resolve as I tried to deny the desire I had for his talented tongue. I indulge in the attention he provides, and he fills me with more than satisfaction and joy. But when my magical powers began to...

I propose a friends-with-benefits arrangement and to my delight, she agrees. Passions explode and boundaries blur as I re-explore every inch of her curvy body. Our superficial game deepens faster than a slapshot from halfcourt. In spite...

An explosive encounter one night with a mysterious stranger, and I find myself waking up next to his naked body as the sun rises. Less than twenty-four hours ago I wanted to wrap my hands around his neck, but instead I wrapped my legs around his waist. The “stranger” is Chase Garrett; a billionaire philanthropist and ex-marine who is the talk of the town. He has a body sculpted by the gods, with eyes of a deep ocean blue–and I am completely drowning. I was certain I would never lay eyes on him again until he walked into the school faculty office to meet his daughter’s new teacher......

Interesting Start
Sometimes I am in the mood for a short romance that I can finish quickly. Unlikely Mate was a sweet, spicey, novella about bear shifters who are looking for a forever love. In this one, Silas and Cait are the main protagonists. I enjoyed this book for the most part. I did find Cait a bit on the annoying side at times because of how wishy-washy she was. As a couple though they were very sweet. The virtual voice was better than I expected but there were still times when it wouldn't get the emotional tone right. I will probably listen to more in the series.
