This was definitely a new twist to the Twelve Mates of Christmas. Kevin is a Ranger living in his cabin in the woods and he is on the verge of total mate madness but Emily and her four mates were sent in to pick him up but he had a plan. When he is brought into the council Krampus tells him he is taking his mate mark and his bear he turns into his bear and Krampus has to teach a hard lesson and takes him to Camp Kringle. Unbelievable to Krampus something unexpected happens almost as soon as Kevin meets Stella a woman who came there to learn how to become a baker and she finds that she and Kevin hit it off immediately. Something weird happens which confuses Krampus who does his job regardless, then another bear Nivek is brought into the mix because Krampus didn’t understand what was happening this has Kevin going back and forth. . Very intriguing with action, fun and romance. Enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I was given a copy as a gift from author without obligation. I am providing an honest review.
Kevin Murphy is a park ranger on the edge. The edge of mate madness that is! He can no longer control his shift or his bear! Time for Krampus to take him to Camp Kringle. Turns out Kevin isn’t bad at all and finds himself back on the nice list the first day he meets Stella. After Krampus sent him home, thinking he was the wrong bad boy, Kevin must figure out how to get back. Friends will always help you get back on the naughty list!
Stella is this years temp at Bear Claw Bakery. She is running from a secret, something that her family has planned for her. She doesn’t have a happy ever after in her future.
Kevin is sure Stella is the one, now he just has to figure out how to get her to understand that! Read on, I’m headed to book eight!
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!
This is the 7th 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.
Kevin can’t control his shift anymore, so he is being sent off by his clan to Camp Kringle. He is breaking records left and right, but you will have to read it to see what I’m talking about. This story is very unique for several reasons. Stella is running from her own problems, but they seem to find her too! This was a great read with all sorts of trouble, drama, blizzards, and help from friends!
I highly recommend to any bear shifter fans who love bad boys and Christmas HEAs!!!
So far, this is my favorite. Kevin is a Park Ranger and spends all of his time in the forest. Mate madness is already setting in and he knows it. He’s not real happy about HOW he was brought before Clan Council of Elders, but he doesn’t really fight them like the others. Stella is running from her “destiny” and is the Bear Claw Bakery temp this year. This book will make you laugh and cringe. I loved seeing some of the other reformed bad boys helping Kevin. First, Ryan Rex and then Ethan helping Kevin protect Stella. Donner even gets into the fray. He has the best personality of all the reindeers to date. He has just become my favorite reindeer of all. With Santana and Krampus being so different from the other years, yu know Kevin is somethiing special. This was the best so far. I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Another great addition to the series. Definitely enjoyed that in this one we were dealing with two bad boy shifter. Plenty of action, intrigue, and of course steamy romance to keep you hooked from beginning to end. Look forward to seeing what else is in store for this series. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.

There are some reoccurring characters that are so quirky they pull you into the story. These are well written. This is a quick easy read. It is worth your time and effort. I encourage you to get this whole series!
This is an entertaining bear shifter romance & I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The characters are well-developed with individual personalities and have realistic emotional feelings. The story-line and plot is excellent and filled with some interesting surprises & intriguing events.

Another new twist of the naughty bear shifter story. Kevin just couldn’t stay naughty. Loved how this story progressed. Stella was a wonderful character and we still had great secondary characters in Krampus and Avery. Lots going on at Camp Kringle. Some steam and lots of sweet. Loved it!
This is Kevin and Stella’s story . Well this book starts with one heck of a take down !! And this is just the start ! Kevin is not given a chance to make any deals since he has already started the mate madness so Krampus has a new lumberjack to train . And one heck of a tough nut to crack ! Stella is in the process of baking when her Rebecca , one of her co workers , tells her that Avery wants her outside and hands her their drinks and Stella heads out into what she thinks is one heck of a storm ! Avery tells her that her boss , Santana is fighting with his rival who controls the weather ! Like Stella believes that one !! Avery informs her that she is needed to make exactly 20 units of gingerbread kits and have them ready on Christmas Eve’s Eve ( does this one come back and bite !!) . ( Yeah I am loving this new holiday time here !) . And Stella is warned about how the lumberjack is a a bad boy werebear and to watch out for him . Holy cow what lands in a tree !! OMG what is in the beard !! Nivek ?? Holy wow what a twist !! Oh wow Naught then Nice Naughty then Nice this book Rocks !! Poor Stella knows that she has fallen for a bad boy/man and can not be with him . Oh the fight wow !! This is so well written and strongly recommended to all !! And all I can say is WOW !
