His mistletoe ain’t for kissing…Matchmaker Rowan Hooligan has helped Fate pair up many shifter couples, but he still hasn’t found his fated mate.This werebear’s meddling has gotten his furry butt on The Naughty List.Because Rowan put off his own search for a mate, he loses his mate mark and his shift. To get them back, he’s going to have to get off of The Naughty List and claim his fated mate … claim his fated mate by Christmas.
Oh, and he has to pull Santa Claus’ sleigh on Christmas Eve.
The only problem is, Rowan’s a bad boy matchmaker. If he doesn’t listen to Cupid — Santa Claus’ flying reindeer — Rowan might end up losing his true love forever.
Get ready for a very Merry Christmas.
Rowan and Holly go together like candy canes and cocoa…
When curvy baker Holly meets Rowan, she feels as if she’s been shot by Cupid’s arrow. It may be the Christmas season, but every day spent with Rowan feels like Valentine’s Day.
The only problem is, Rowan has a secret he’s keeping from this BBW — and he’s doing things all wrong.
The only thing that could possibly make things more complicated is one of Rowan’s trademark singles mixers. Singles aren’t the only thing mixing. When Fate and Christmas magic get mixed together like gingerbread dough in a mixing bowl, anything can happen.
Has the matchmaker met his match?
When Holly hears Rowan say something horrible, she assumes the worst. Will Rowan win back his true love in time for Christmas? And will he claim her before he loses his shift forever? There’s only one book with the answer, and that’s ‘Cupid Claws.’
This story, featuring a bad boy werebear and a BBW baker, is loosely based on The Ugly Duckling.

Rowan is the Matchmaker Bad boy and he is thrilled at the opportunity to meet Santana Claus and he threw Krampus off his game, he didn’t have to threaten this bad boy he was willing to do whatever was ask of him and when he met Holly he knew she was his fated mate but he messed it all up by going to fast and doing everything out of order. Krampus and Avery were going through some problems even though they felt emotional about each other but once they actually got together it hurt Holly so bad that she would not talk to Rowan about it at all. Then Krampus was jealous because Avery the Christmas elf was about to have dinner with Old Man Winter and he decided that Rowan couldn’t see Holly except to say hi and bye if he was lucky when he picked up their daily order. This is a cute telling of Cupid/Rowan story. I enjoyed the confidence that Rowan had until he didn’t and how he wanted to make Holly happy no matter how long he had to wait. It was lots of fun and full of misunderstandings and HEA. Adult content. I was given a copy as a gift from the author without obligation. I am providing an honest review.
Rowan Hooligan has spent his adult life helping other Shifters find the fated mate. Clan Marron is done waiting for him to find his own. They are sending him off with Krampus to Camp Kringle to work for Santana Claus.
Holly Luna is this years temp worker at Bear Claw Bakery, she sees herself as a ugly duckling who wouldn’t be able to attract a Shifter.
Rowan his very enthusiastic about meeting Santana, until he meets Holly. Now she is all he can think about! Moving too quickly may be his downfall though. Check out this read, I’m moving on to book seven!
A lovely addition to the 12 Mates of Christmas series
Holly, this year’s human temp worker, meets Rowan, this year’s bad boy werebear and owner of a matchmaking service, on his first trip to the bakery. As the story progresses patience is ignored, explanations are denied and a rush to get the girl is necessary. Sable Sylvan’s Cupid Claws is based loosely on the tale of the ugly duckling, but the only ugly things in the story are the Christmas sweaters.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 Unicorns – I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!! And I have bought my own copy as I do most of Sable’s books!
Okay, every time I look at the covers, I think the animals are wearing hats and have to remember it is ornaments and the top of the ornaments is not a hat. It makes me giggle every time!
This is the 6th book in this Xmas series, and it is still in Sable’s fabulous world of shifters. This is for adults only due to the steamy content.
Sable has a way with naming her characters. Rowan Hooligan made me chuckle. He is a matchmaker without a mate, and it is his turn to head to Camp Kringle. The book starts out hilarious as Rowan throws Krampus for a loop. Rowan and Holly have some bumps along the way in their journey. Thankfully, Rowan figures it out and gets the girl in the end. This story was unique and awesome.
I highly recommend to shifter fans who love bad boy bears and Christmases with happy endings!!!
Great continuation to the series. Has a little bit of everything need to get you into the holiday spirit plus hook you’ll be from beginning to end. While the books can be read as standalone I totally recommend that you check out the other book. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
You will never look at matchmaking the same. This merry fun filled trip will make you want to visit a matchmaker as soon as possible. Each and every one of these books seem to be building to a big finale. I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next.
** spoiler alert ** Rowan makes a living matching people up, but has been unable to find his own match. Holly thought that because she wasn’t the right one for past shifters, that it wasn’t in her cards. Instantly drawn together, but rushing makes everything go haywire. Will Rowan be able to get off the naughty list? Will Holly listen to Rowan when it comes time to explain everything?
I definitely liked how neither fought there initial attraction and couldn’t blame Holly for being gun shy after what happened between these two. I did like the fact that Rowan kept trying and was determined to atleast make her listen to him. Good read!
I love the stories that overlap but yet are stand alones. This story has a little of everything, sweet romance, sexy overbearing and frustrating alpha male and a beautiful woman who has the right heart and spirit. Thoroughly enjoying and entertaining. These Books are a great holiday read!! I just loved them!! Looking forward to the next six!!
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
Rowan who is a bear shifter is on the Naughty list and must go to Camp Kringle. Rowan is a professional match maker who doesn’t find his fated mate. Unlike the other naughty bears he throws Krampus off by being so agreeable. Holly is working for this Christmas season and was a great character. I have loved every story in this series so far and each is unique. Some humor and great chemistry with some sexy time. Secondary characters are also fantastic. Can’t wait for the next book!
This is Rowan and Holly’s story . Rowan’s turn to be tricked into meeting with the council . But this one does not follow the normal at all ! Holly is hired to come up with an event that will help BCB . She is warned about the newest lumberjack being a bad boy and to try to limit her time with him . But does she listen ? This story is so unique and dang it I hates to see it end ! How Holly finally learns that she should have let him explain ? Perfect ! This is well written and strongly recommended to all !!
It was a delightful pleasure to read this humorous bear shifter romance. The plot is well-written with the main characters that are entertaining and charismatic secondary characters.
It is about: a matchmaker bear shifter (Rowen) who is always meddling & is too busy to look for a mate & a curvy female baker (Holly) who needs to rediscover the Christmas spirit.
There is: bear shifters, a reindeer shifter, Santana Claus, various kinds of shifters, a matchmaker, a caring alpha, clan elders, a Christmas demon, elves, twist & turns, some intrigue, humor, magic, portals, astonishment, perplexity, attractions, fated mates, eavesdropping, misunderstandings, confusion, heartache, determination, love, happiness, some steamy scenes & a satisfying HEA.
I would recommend this bear shifter romance to people who enjoy reading this genre.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This is the sixth book in The Twelve Mates Of Christmas series. This is Matchmaker Rowan Hooligan and baker Holly Luna’s story boy Rowan sure is something, again I found myself laughing throughout this story. My favorite person in these stories has been Krampus. Looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
I received an ARC copy of this book and I chose to review it. This is the sixth book in this series and I love them all. Sable Sylvan has become a favorite of mine. This book is a quick easy read and it is worth your time and effort. The reoccurring characters are fantastic, they are sweet, funny and always quirky. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
