For one thing, she knows that the alpha bears only seek her out to steal her sealskin and the control of the coastal land around Monterey that goes with it.
It sucks to be a selkie.
Lia is seriously considering retreating to the ocean and trying to reconnect with the pod she lost as a child, but her adoptive sister Nessa, who moonlights as a matchmaker for shifters convinces her to try hooking up with a guy who might be able to protect her from the alpha bears.
But what kind of protection with Miles be? He’s a playboy who can’t stay focused on one woman for more than a day or two.

Book 2:
Ever since her Alpha helped her tame her panther and explore her creativity, Monica has been sure her destiny lies with him. He doesn’t notice her, though, and when she tries to trick the shifter matchmaker, Nessa, into setting them up, Monica finds herself with a different alpha entirely.
Nikolai’s pack is on the verge of revolt after his failed attempt to steal a selkie skin, and he’s beginning to doubt his own fitness as a leader. The last thing he needs is the distraction of a sexy shifter from another pack. But Monica makes him laugh and bolsters his confidence. He can’t keep his mind—or his hands—off her.
Monica can’t keep her hands off Nikolai either. But what about her plans for the future? Could Nikolai be her true Alpha match?
Book 3:
Like many fox shifters, Regina Woodward is stuck in the fifties. She loves vintage clothing and classic movies. What she doesn’t love is controlling male foxes who expect perfect homemaker wives. She’s just about given up on ever finding a mate when her friend Nessa, the local matchmaker, suggests she date Oscar Torres.
An alpha bear.
Regina’s mother would have a conniption just hearing about it.
Not that Regina’s sure she wants to hook up with Oscar anyway, seeing how he’s closed-off emotionally. But when he asks for her help to save a wild fox-shifter who has been getting into trouble up north, Regina can’t refuse. And the more time she spends with Oscar, the more she loses her heart.
To an emotionally constipated bear her only remaining family is going to hate.
There’s no way this ends well—is there?
Book 4:
Nessa Caldwell has a gift for pairing shifters with their fated mates. Except when that shifter happens to be herself. But though her gift doesn’t work reflexively, she’s sure it’s a bad idea to date Caz Frost, even if her friends think she should try it.
Caz is brutal and overbearing, not a good match for anyone, unless, maybe, he belongs with the manipulative witch who threatens dire consequences to Nessa’s matchmaking business if she won’t set the woman up with Caz.
But when Nessa is forced to take her car to Caz’s shop, she realizes he’s fairer and more compassionate than she realized. And there’s a surprisingly strong attraction between them. Are her friends right after all?
And if they are, how can a little black cat shifter extricate her possible mate from the clutches of the witch who has claimed him?

First let me state, I received an Advance Reader Copy (ARC), but this in no way influences my review.
Wow, what an excellent group of stories that can be read alone or all together. I recommend all in order, or better yet, in this box set. . I recommend this read 5 Thumbs up
1. The Bear’s Matchmaker
I loved this story. I’ve never read about selkies, {seal shifters} before, so this was a first for me. In this story there are 3 packs of shifters in the Monterey area and the Alphas are bear shifters. They are Caz, Nikolai, & Oscar. All three are trying to claim Lia’s selkie coat so they can control some coastal land. Lia’s BFF & sister, Nessa, is a part-time matchmaker and she matches Lia to Miles so she can use him for protection. Miles is a cocky, playboy bear shifter with no pack connection and no plans to be mated, ever. This story is about Lia & Mile’s HEA. I truly enjoyed the story.
2. Her True Alpha Mate
Wow!!! Even though these stories can be read alone, there is still a thread connecting them. This story is about Monica, a panther shifter, who thinks she’s supposed to be the mate of her Alpha, Oscar. Boy is she wrong. She met Lia, Nessa, and Miles in the first book along with another shifter from Nikolai’s pack, Regina when they helped Lia get her selkie skin back. Nikolai, an Alpha from a different pack than Monica’s, is set up on a date with her by Nessa. This story has a lot going on.
3. Her Alpha Mismatch
Excellent story. This story is Regina’s. Being a Fox shifter she was raised to believe that they could only mate with their own kind and they had no choice of who they mated. The Fox shifters never left the 1950’s with their perfect homemaker ideals and controlling men. Nessa tried to set her up with the Alpha, Oscar, but Regina didn’t want that because he was said to run his pack with an iron fist. So many good things happen in this story.
4. Her Enchanted Alpha Match
This is Nessa’s story, and only seems right that it’s the last of this box set because Nessa is the “Shifter Matchmaker”. I felt such strong emotions reading this story. I would have said maybe it was PMS or something, but I don’t get that. . Anyhoo, I did feel somewhat emotional. After Nessa helps her sister, Lia, and friends, Monica & Regina, get their fated mates, it’s only right she get hers. So her sister & friends set her up with Caz, the other Alpha. So much happening & I don’t want to give it away. SO read it. I really enjoyed reading this.
This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. The Shifter’s Matchmaker Box Set by Emilia Hartley is a set of linked stories. I really enjoyed this boxed set. There is a lot of fun packed into this set with romance, action, adventure, humor, sweet heat and sexy shifters. Each story is basically stand alone, but they are linked by the underlying matchmaker and her means of getting you the shifter of your dreams. I always enjoy Emilia Hartley reads, they can be counted on to bring you hours of entertainment and mood altering fun. This boxed set is for Mature Audiences Only.
This honest and voluntary review was made possible by reading an advance copy through Booksprout.
Nessa is a Matchmaker for shifters, and has had some luck, even with the hard to match candidates – like her adoptive sister.
One of her dear friends also thinks she is fated to someone Nessa is sure is not her match.
It all gets a bit tangled and complicated – and nearly lethal for Nessa.
She might be her own most difficult match. That is if she can survive and the one she hesitates to believe might be her own fated can also survive. Alive, together, trusting their bond and the welfare of their packs, they might be able to help bring some success and prosperity to more than just themselves.
It is a rocky road to the future – but steamy and adventure packed reading fun – with lots of girl power, and strong mates that you love anyway – sometimes in spite of their annoying alpha tendencies.
I have received advanced copies of individual stories in this series, have bought individual stories in this series, and read the whole on Kindle Unlimited – and had great fun doing it!
My opinion is honest and freely given – and my opinion is this is a fun series, with lots of steamy goodness!
