I’m all for women’s lib but sometimes these “tough”human women drive me up the wall. I absolutely loved the romance aspect of this book. Gerri, naturally was fantastic. Winter was amazing! Summer, my lord the woman drove me batty. She was awesome yet stupid at times… what I mean is she tries to be way too tough. I find that as a trend in a lot of these books. Even the alpha knows when to call in for backup and they turn into 2ton beats with 8 inch claws! The humans? Nah bruh, I can waltz into whole hostile shifter community solo and be wassup? I’m here to investigate y’all… my lord, am I being kidnapped? Unhand me! Lol they gonna give me a heart attack! even Gerri the damn near clairvoyant tells you hey, roll with backup and you ignore it lol then when rescued she still says nah, next time I still won’t take backup! Are you kidding me bruv? Teddy Ruxpin whoops Quinn Teddy (chuckles) I love Miley’s names is going to die from stress at a early age because Summer is going to put him in a early grave lol. I must say though their chemistry was smokin hot! I loved the fact that so many HEA’s happened! Also I hope poor Barry gets his groove on. I know he’s not book worthy but in my heart of hearts he was there when it mattered. He needs some love lol. This was a joyous read though. It’s sad though to see what happened between these two towns. It always boils down to some sad shit like that. This can relate to our own modern day and age. It’s silly and no one wins from that kind of stupidity, bigotry and hate. Milly did a great job on this book and I can’t wait to see this reunion in the next book and see how Winter nails down her man. 5 from this bear.
Nice
I loved summer and Quinn’s story, also their parents love story… Now I am ready to read winter and finn’s
Addictive & Shamelessly Entertaining, PDA Never Disappoints… I love, love, LOVE the Paranormal Dating Agency (PDA) book series by Milly Taiden! Before I began reviewing books in earnest last spring I read through the original twenty books in quick succession. The PDA series is what made Milly Taiden my go-to author for quick reads in between the much darker, more violent fare I frequent. Her grumpy, growly alpha types (shifter and alien alike) are perfect literary palate cleansers for me, helping me let go and embrace some lovely, quirk filled, and possessively sexy, soft-core literary smut. Because everyone needs some flirtatious insta-love with a side of angst tinged, uncertainty in their lives once in a while! And “Bear in Mind”, Taiden’s twenty-third addition to her PDA universe does not disrupt her delicious formula or disappoint in any way.
“Bear in Mind”, the story of Summer, a feisty, private investigator. Who is drawn to matchmaker extraordinaire, Gerri Wilder, with hopes of setting up her twin sister, Winter, with a man. And Quinn, the alpha of the local brown bears and owner of the aptly named, Beary Comfortable Bed and Breakfast, who has his own dealings with Ms. Wilder but for very different reasons. Coincidence? Nope, not even close, as Gerri does what she does best, whatever the hell she wants, and puts in motion some delicious plans of her own involving both sisters, Quinn, and the bear clan.
Despite being a bit tame by Taiden standards and not full of the super-charged sexy scenes some of the previous PDA installments contained, overall, it is a yummy, light-hearted read full of sass, humor, and wonderful characters. And also despite containing some sloppy editing issues, story wise, it is Taiden at her best, inlaying Easter eggs and subtle plot points, hinting at stories yet to come. It is honestly what I like most about the PDA series, they’re all connected in one way or another, and often feature characters from earlier books in the series (as this one does) making them addictively stimulating, and shamelessly entertaining and interesting.
Every time I finish one installment I impatiently wait for the next, as I am now…
On the Edge Excitement
Wow, from the first page of this book you never know what to expect. Everything is moving all around you and you have to kept up or get left behind. There are so many things you learn in this book and it’s hard to believe everything you learn. Hard to believe that there is still hate between shifters when they all need to come together to fight a bigger foe.
Every page leaves you wanting to know what is going to happen Next and you don’t want to put it down because you want the answers just as much as the people in the book want them. I just love the mystery and drama you get from this book. Of course you get a little taste of Gerri too.
Until Next Time… Tabi
Love this one it pairs two devious matchmakers and best friends. She wasn’t looking for herself but with Gerri and Barbara at it s and characters a la he better watch out. As usual a wonderful story and characters ala Milly Taiden. Funny,steamy,action packed. Well done looking forward to more.

Let me start off by saying I loved Quinn. This was not one Of Milly Taiden’s best books. For one it was like reading a cereal box. There was nothing really in between. They are shifters so when they shift in anger or in a hurry they ruin their clothes. But for some reason Milly didn’t feel the need to go in to depth with this. One minute they shift then the next they miraculously have clothes on again.
And the heroin was not the brightest bulb in the pack. She is a PI and she keeps saying she can take care of herself. Guess where that gets her, yep kidnapped and she really didn’t put up a fight maybe a little struggle. After she is rescued and Quinn tries to keep her safe she says “hello PI here I can take care of myself” yeah and how did that work out for you last time.
So this wasn’t one of my favorites by Milly. It was to rushed but I liked the fast pace. If that makes sense.
Milly Taiden did it again! Bear in Mind: Paranormal Dating Agency was awesome!
From page one, Milly Taiden delivered a suspensful, intriguing, sexy story! The chemistry between PI Summer Delgado and Alpha bear shifter Quinn Teddy sizzles from the moment they first run into each other. The mystery that unfolds from there keeps you on your toes, all while the sheets are practically burned up by their attraction! Thanks Milly for another amazing read!

Summer just wants to help her sister find a mate. She is NOT looking for herself. However, Gerri has a habit of dinding your mate, even when you don’t know you want one!
Quinn makes a bit of an impression of Summer when they literally crash into one another. He needs to make a better impression, after all the intriguing woman is his mate! Summer believes she is investigating a break-in at Gerri’s home. But as usual that sneaky matchmaker has a much more intriguing plan.
Quinn has a lot on his plate. Hs dad is beginning to fail mentally due to the length of time his mate has been missing. Quinn needs to find his mum as soon as he can. Can he deal with finding his mate, helping hs dad and expanding his B&B at the same time?
Fun, snarky, feisty female. Rough, tough, kind and determined alpha male. Oh and the surname of Teddy! OMG that made me laugh!
Love this world and totally wish I could live in it! Gerri’s skills knows no bounds and I want a brownie after reading this story lol. Can’t wait for what’s in store for the rest of this clan cause now we’re left with more questions.
Another fantastic addition to the PDA series. I especially loved when Gerri and Barbara Wolfe(Sassy Mates series) get together we never know what kind of shenanigans those two will get into and I’m here for all of it. So you already know that they definitely didn’t disappoint. So when you add in intrigue, suspense, and of course steamy romance you have a spectacular read. Looking forward to the next book in this series. I received a free copy via Booksprout I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
great addition to series
Book 29 in PDA series by Milly Taiden
Summer is human a PI and and twin, she meets up with Gerri Wilder to try and find her sister a mate.
So after meeting Gerri and finding out she had a break in and she offers to investigate for helping get Winter a mate.
While leaving Summer bumps into Quinn a big bear.
Quinn is a B&B owner and wants Gerri’s baking secrets for his business so agrees to visit every week.
I really liked that this started and Summers twin sister but Summer ends up with the mate.
I also really love the twist in book about Quinn’s missing mother and brother.
Really looking forward to more about this Black and Brown clans.
You’d think that by 29th book in series these would get boring or repetitive but so far I’ve got to say I still absolutely love this series
Another winner. But then, you always know it’s going to be when you open a PDA story. Gerri never fails to find a match for her client (even when they aren’t looking for one). Summer wants to match up her sister who doesn’t have time for a man even a hot alpha shifter. Meeting Quinn leaves two impressions, he’s smokin’ and a grouch. Good thing the next meeting is better. A LOT BETTER. Still, Summer came to investigate the recent break-in at Gerri’s, not find a man.
Quinn has plenty to keep him busy but when you meet your mate you have no option and he doesn’t want one. He just has to keep her safe–since she’s a PI that’s not easy. His dad is wasting away mentally after losing his wife years ago. Quinn runs a bed and breakfast he plans to expand.
The break-in brings Summer and Quinn together for another reason and working together could either solve both mysteries or endanger their lives.
Loves, leaning that his mate is a strong woman whose been protecting herself for a long time, and keeping his father safe is a full-time job and more. Another fun, steamy read with characters you cheer on. I’m hoping we’re going to see Quinn and Summer again during Gerri’s next match-up.
Finally we find out who was behind the break in at Gerri’s. This story has quite a bit of action in in it. Summer finds her self in danger while investigating Gerri’s break in. In the process she helps find out the truth about her mate’s missing family. Hints of where Winter’s story is going. Looking forward to it!

I love author Milly Taiden’s Paranormal Dating Agency or PDA series and in this one we get not only Gerri Wilder but also her friend Barbara Wolf who are showing us they can match up shifters. This book has all the feel goods and romance we get from a PDA book plus that touch of mystery and more. I love that we are introduced to a second person who we know we is getting matched as well so that has us waiting impatiently for the next book to come out so we can find out how their story turns out.
Summer and Quinn’s story was awesome.
This was a suspenseful, steamy, fun story that from the very beginning had me unable to stop reading it .. This newest addition to the series is definitely in my top 5 favorite PDA books. The characters were incredible and so endearing you couldnt help but keep your fingers crossed that everything would work out.. I hope the next book is for Wynter ….
When Summer meets Gerri to get her twin sister a mate she never would have guessed that Gerri would set them both up. A really good read HEA.
When Summer visits Gerri to find a mate for her sister, she has no idea what’s in store for her instead. Quinn is alpha of his bear clan and much too busy to find a mate. Thankfully, Gerri decides to take care of that for him.
This was an interesting and fast-paced read. Perfect for lunchtime. Just be careful reading at work….it has lots of Taiden’s signature steam. *fans self*
I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias.
Two worlds colliding, friends up to their old tricks together, a couple separated finally reunited, a new mating and the promise of another mating, suspense, thrills, hot loving, this book is absolutely perfect, it has it all and then some!!! A must read and a keeper to reread again and again. This is my new favorite PDA book!!!
