**Alanea's Note** This is a re-release of a previously published title. It has been re-edited and a bit more content has been added, but nothing that would change the story dramatically. As always thank you for your support! Enjoy!

After her boss became her ex-boyfriend and turned her life inside out, Rebecca is on the road looking for adventure and a place to call home. She never imagined the mysterious road she would take would lead her to a grumpy hot Sheriff, a gorgeous playboy and a group of gay fashionistas, or, that they would be bear and lion shifters. Reading about being a shifter's mate was one thing, living it was another.

Aleks has sworn off human women. After working a brutal homicide he as returned to the shifter-only town of his birth to date the local shifter women and hopefully find a nice female bear-shifter to give him cubs. When Fate throws him an itty, bitty human as a mate, he refuses to have anything to do with her.

As the attraction between them grows Aleks realizes that he can't seem to stay away from the tiny dark-haired human, but the realization may come too late, as he faces the fact that though her body was never in any danger, he may have shattered her heart.

He wonders if she will be safe with him and she wonders if she will ever be what he he truly wants.

In the end they will both see that, Fate Knows Best.

"I am not the happiest of campers right now.

I’ve read the entire bewitched and bewildered series and I’ve stuck through the last couple books that weren’t the most satisfying. When I read that she was going to rerelease this book with new content, I was so pumped! I thought it would be really great because she is a funny writer who I’ve enjoyed reading. But I was just disappointed from the get go, this book is basically just bewitched and bewildered just slightly changed. The names might be different there might be slightly different aspects of the world, but bare-bones the main components are exactly the same. If you’ve read that series you’ve read this one there’s no point in reading it.

There was too many secondary characters I couldn’t keep up, she would just throw you the name and description then kept moving. I kept having to go back and look up who was who, what they shifted into, and what their job was. I also hate that everyone instantly fell in love with the H and she was this instant fix to all these deep-seated hatred. Basically they hated each other for years, decades, centuries. Then they meet the H and five minutes later everyone’s best friends and family it was frustrating there was no struggle, no angst.

Also the stereotypes of the gay characters were just infuriating. While I understand there are some gay men who adhere to those stereotypes. Hello!! There are so many different types of people that having every single gay lion be basically exactly the same,just with different names, was so frustrating and ignorant.

Would I recommend this book? No...actually if you haven’t read her other series you might enjoy it. You might think it’s really funny. An interesting book and the beginning to a new series, I would just recommend that you don’t check out the bewitched and bewildered series."

• I'm still on the fence about this book. I feel like the author borrowed bits and pieces from her other series Bewitched and Bewildered. If this is supposed to be a separate series that isn't entwined, they should definitely be more different. I'm all for sticking with what works, but again - not if it's a totally new series. Make it different. Make it stand out. Don't make it pretty much the same as the other series. Right now they are too similar. Also this book just moved so fast and crammed everything together. I feel like it definitely needed more world building and to be slowed down quite a bit. Especially for the first book in a new series. In the end, I was left unsatisfied. I expected better, to be honest. I love her other series and hope she figures it out for this one fast.
• If you have never experienced an Alanea Alder book before, I wouldn't necessarily choose this one to begin. I became a huge fan of Alder's work with the Bewitched and Bewildered series she is still working on. The world she creates in that series is vibrant, exciting, the characters have depth and she takes the time to let you get to know them. And most of all, there is this incredible amount of world building that just completely sucks you in, which is why i have read all 10 books (the 11th is coming soon!!) in that series muliple times.
  
  What Alder has done with this book is a bit of a let down when coming from her other work. This book lacks a connection. Within pages you see so many of the characters become enamoured with Rebecca, and while she is a fun character with a lot of personality, there wasnt enough back story or real connection to make this believable to me. She introduces characters in stereotypical ways without any background or introduction, and it actually makes you disconnect from the story because these characters supposedly have such an amazing connection that has no basis, and nothing for the reader to latch onto.
  
  This is a good, mindless read if you have a couple hours to waste. But I can't say I would read this one again. If you want to experience the true genius of Alder's work, do yourself a favor and start the Bewitched and Bewildered series.
• If a reader hasn't read any of this author's work before - don't start with this one. Up until the 75% mark this book was so sweet & boring I couldn't believe it. The heroine is revolting adorable - is referred to constantly as 'little one' & 'baby girl'. There's no vinegar, no spunkiness and no depth to the heroine or ANY of the characters. Worse - all of them seem to be shadows or imitations of her other series' in Bewitched & Bewildered - even down to their personalities, jobs & appearance. The addition of a spanking scene was not a plus for me either. Frankly it seemed odd given the strength of the bears and the just-past-virgin status of the heroine.
  
  The world build, plot & bigger storyline feel borrowed from the other series but were just different enough I felt confused. The plot was thin with a lot of the action happening at the end of the book but behind the scenes! Those scenes were then described with 4 or 5 word sentences as rhetoric. 'yeah - being whipped really hurt' - What? When did that happen?
  
  I'm a big fan of her Bewitched & Bewildered series - I've been really hoping for more of those or at least one more to give the series a finale. I get it that an author can get tired of or lose their way in a huge series. But this book isn't a refreshing departure from that world.
• I preordered this book, not realizing it was a re-release (the synopsis didn't include the notice about it being reissue until recently), and unfortunately, it wouldn't allow me to return. It isn't drastically changed from its initial release, and the mistakes are just as abundant. Misplaced and misused commas are extremely common, and I found it really distracting. I don't mind repurchasing a book if there are updates, especially if the editing is improved, but it seems almost worse. I like this author, but her technical skills aren't great--this isn't a terrible thing for authors, as that is what an editor or even a friendly proof reader is for. She is a good story teller, but her writing is often lazy, and it shows here. I do not recommend this book, particularly if you purchased its previous release. It is overpriced, rough, and just not the quality I expect from this author.
