Rancher’s Bear Baby
I liked the premise of this book, it is a secret baby book. However, this isn’t the type of book where it’s kept secret that long which I liked.
Both characters were fun to read about and their chemistry was off the charts. I liked the banter these two also had.
I liked that they showed Alex as a man who likes the ladies until he met his mate. From here, you new he was going to be a committed man. My complaint about this was, I felt like he let her go too easily.
The reason I took a start away was I felt it ended too abruptly. I was invested in this couple and it just ended.
Rancher Bear’s Mail Order Mate
I loved Leila in this book. She is a very strong, opinionated and caring woman. I loved that she didn’t let the growlyness of Matt turn her away. She saw threw him and knew that he just needed someone to love him back.
I liked Matt. My only complaint would have been more of a story about him. I understand this was a shorter book but the author alluded to the family thinking he only wanted to farm for the money but that wasn’t true. I would have liked to hear more about that to understand his character more.
The scene in the grocery store with Alex and his wife was funny. I loved that Alex was put in his place.
Rancher Bear’s Surprise Package
This was one book I did like but a big plot hole that I didn’t understand.
Lucas is a good man who after the death of his father goes a little crazy and hits the road. While on the road, he wasn’t using his best intentions but once he returns home we get to see the kind of man he really is and it is a huge improvement.
Sammie is a woman who is just doing her job but, in the interim, had begun to love he little boy she is trying to protect. Meeting Lucas wasn’t in the plan but yet when fate steps in, you just have to go with it.
The part that I didn’t understand is Lucas insistence in the begging that his ex was his mate. In every book I have read included others from this author, they know immediately that someone is their mate. I don’t know if it was the grief that made Lucas try and convince him she was his mate or not.
Rancher Bear’s Secret
I loved the character of Michael. He was a man who has been severely hurt as a child and this has affected his entire life. He hasn’t been able to hang out with his brothers like he would want to or have any sort of meaningful relationship because of it. Just hearing his story, broke my heart.
Daisy is new to town and even though people try and warn her away from him saying he’s dangerous, she knows deep down that he would never hurt her.
I liked the development of these characters and I also liked the Daisy wasn’t going to let Michael hide any longer.
Rancher Bear’s Desire
Bunny is a woman who is just trying to get back on her feet after her divorce. Her husband hurt her in so many ways, she is done with men and especially bear shifters. In starting over she lands a job that doesn’t sound so great but will get her back on her feet. This job however puts her in line to meet John.
John is a bear who is looking to settle. Settle with a woman who isn’t his mate but is good enough even though deep down, he knows it won’t work. Catching Bunny in his house and realizing she is his mate, he vows to make her his regardless that he was a girlfriend and he might have just cost Bunny her job.
I liked that these two didn’t get together right away. I liked that they had time to realize what they wanted in life and then went for it.
Rancher Bears’ Merry Christmas
This was a very cute quick story that warmed your hearts. If you read this one for this very reason, you are going to love it. Lettie and Tucker have known each other for years. They have been interested in the other but not enough to act on it.
Lettie meets some abandoned children and takes an immediate liking to them. They become an instant family with Tucker filling in the dad role. The story was sweet and it tugs on the heart strings.
The part I didn’t like was if you have read any sort of shifter books you would know that they are supposed to know their mate instantly. How these two had been friends and not known it seems to far out there for me. It seemed like the whole family knew except them.
Leave it to the Long brothers dad, to throw a wrench in their plans for the family ranch. Following his death, their dad has a stipulation, the first son to produce an heir, will inherit the ranch. None of the boys is interested in meeting their mate, at least not right now! However, the mating bond is too strong to fight. Follow Alex, Matt, Lucas, Michael, John and their cousin Tucker as they find their forever. Keep an eye on Elizabeth, Leila, Sammie, Daisy, Bunny and Lettie as they maneuver life with Bear Shifters and the families they didn’t even know they wanted. This was a fun, quick and steamy read, enjoy!

I really enjoyed this novella boxset. I loved all the characters. They had just the right spice, some action, and cute little bears too. The Long families were well worth the read.
My favorite story was Rancher Bear’s Surprise Package.
These are my first books by the author and I must say I am impressed! Each edition is a separate story of bear-shifters finding their mates and fixing whatever was missing or wrong in their lives. Each could be read as a standalone, but as the characters carry through they are best read in order. Definitely a bundle worth reading!
