Delilah might think she’s conning bear-shifter Axel, but he and baby Noah are stealing her heart… driven wild by the curvy little human woman. His bear doesn’t care if she has secrets, he just doesn’t want to let her go.
Delilah doesn’t do commitment. As a con artist, she moves from city to city, keeping to only one rule: never con a mark who can’t afford to lose. When her conscience has her bailing out of a job gone very wrong, she winds up in the tiny Pennsylvania town of Tarker’s Hollow. Hoping to hide from her furious partners, she finds herself mistaken for a nanny and plays along, treating it as the perfect cover to lay low for a few days. But as she begins to have very real feelings for the baby and his achingly sexy single dad, it gets harder and harder for Delilah to remember she’s only pretending.
When Delilah’s treacherous partners track her down, her fragile new world is suddenly in danger. Can the bear shifter and the con artist trust each other with the truth in time to save everything that is important to them? Or will she run away with the big bear’s heart?
If you like strong women, sexy shifter men, and unbelievably adorable babies, you will love the Single Daddy Shifters series, set in the steamy shifter world of Tarker’s Hollow!

Axel is book one in the Single Daddy Shifters series by Tasha Black.
I wanted to like this novel. Sexy single shifter dad’s. Ya! Who doesn’t like a single sexy shifter daddy, but it turns out I couldn’t finish.
It’s got no depth. No plot. No personalities to the characters. Just bland. My other issue is that the leads don’t know each other and on the first night they are in Axel’s house they kiss and hop into bed. That’s just way to quick.
I won’t be reading anymore in the Single Daddy Shifters series. Axel was not the book for me. If the blurb intrigues you, I urge you to give it a shot. Just because it did not work for me does not mean it won’t for you.

Axel is a single father who is also a bear shifter. He is waiting for the nanny he hired to arrive to take care of his son Noah. In walks Delilah, she is not the nanny he hired but she is a con artist so with a little help she can pull off being a nanny for a little while. Axel discovers Delilah has been lying to him but his bear has decided Delilah is his mate. Noah is happy and appears to love and trust Delilah. Axel and his bear feel Delilah is a good person she just has some secrets. Trouble comes to Axel’s door looking for Delilah and he will do what is required to protect her and his son. Will Axel be able to trust Delilah and will Delilah come clean about her past? Love this book, it is a great read with wonderful characters. IF you love shifters this is a must read.
This is a sweet romance between a bear shifter and a con woman. Axel is a mechanic and has an adorable baby boy. He needs a nanny and, while waiting for the nanny to arrive, Delilah, a con woman trying to break away from her criminal past, somehow ends up as the nanny. Both the baby and Axel love her immediately and, in return, Delilah falls for them both also. There are some issues for them both to overcome. Loved all the characters and the ending!
This was a cute little story. Delilah is a women that can adapt to any situation. She was raised to do just that. So to be mistaken as the nanny for Noah is just another gig she will do. His father Axel is another story though. He’s hot and nice plus a great single father. She never had a chance with these two. She fell for them. Who wouldn’t.
Great writing. Axel helps a young lady out of a jam after she tries to take advantage of him.
Alex Swann is a BearShifter who owns an auto mechanic shop. He has a tiny baby whose mother took off after Noah was born, it didn’t matter Axel was so proud of his son. He hired a nanny to help out because he could not keep everything up with the baby and his work. He didn’t get the nanny but he thought he did, Axel had come across something completely different then a nanny
Delilah is Barracuda’s daughter, consequently she was raised to be a con woman. Steal from the rich, give to the poor (the poor being Barracuda). The last job went wrong, which made Delilah run ending up at the little town of Tarker’s Hollow.
fun series
He’s a single dad and loves every minute with his son. No matter how hard it is. A live-in nanny will solve the problem. The fact that she isn’t really the nanny but a con artist in hiding brings its own problems and rewards. First, both baby and daddy (oh yeah, and daddy’s inner bear) really like her. Second, she really likes them but has partners after her to fulfill a con. Third, the real nanny’s delay is going to come to an end.
Can they work through it all and find a life together?
As usual, the author has given her fans a touching story with loveable characters and in this case a sweet little baby. Not much sexier than a big man holding a little baby. The steam is hot, the feelings touching. Can she find the good side she’s never been allowed to show?
I loved it and can’t wait to read more of the dad’s playgroup find women to complete their families.
Another excellent start to a shifter series. Axel is great and has a calm demeanor in spite of his capability. I love that he recognizes exactly who Delilah really is. I felt sorry for Delilah but she is a realistic example that rising above your upbringing is possible at any age. She’s habitually a smart trickster and her actions are a bit hilarious. I like her though. Noah is a sweetie pie. Lots of warm, happy feelings, a bit of action or (barracuda) drama and wrapped in a short yet full romance that is so sweet and heartwarming. I received a free copy without obligation and am voluntarily reviewing.
I enjoyed reading this book, the interaction and chemistry between the characters of Delilah and Axel is great, the storyline is entertaining and filled with action and intrigue. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
We’re back in Tarker’s Hallow with some new characters. Single daddy and the gal who funds her way in his life with a secret. The story is cute and funny, from the mommy at play group to Axel’s apprentice. And then the scene when he shifts. Can’t go wrong with this story!

Ooooooo a new series from Tasha Black in the same town of
Tarker’s Hollow. Definitely a Must Read!

Thirst for a believable adventure this book is definitely for you! This review is my own opinion, this author is one that I love to read her books.
I’m always so happy to return to Tarker’s Hollow. Axel is one sexy, sweet and protective bear shifter. My heart just melt in how much he loves his son. Delilah is witty, strong and has a secret. This is one sweet single daddy shifter book. I can’t wait to read more.
Get ready for another page-turning must read! “AXEL” is the first fantastic story in a new PNR series, ‘Single Daddy Shifters’ and it grabbed me from page one! Another fun, romantic, fresh story with relatable characters that practically jump off the pages! The H/h’s in these books are down to earth, plus now we have a sweet, sexy dad and a new feisty woman 😉 The ever present witty dialogue & amazing attention-to-detail with surprises are a given in this author’s work! I highly recommend this & any book by Tasha Black, to adult fans of fiction and I can’t wait for more but I always will! 😉
My only complaint is that it was so short! I enjoyed the world and the characters, but there just wasn’t enough.
not enough story. loved what there was of it though.
Too short, book was OK
OK for a free/.99 read would not pay more. To short and needed more world/relationship building.
I found it hard to finish. I had trouble reading because I kept losing interest.
