BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance (Raging Falls Book 2)

OMG!!!! This book is now my favorite book of Milly's! And as far as book boyfriends go, well "Bastien Aubrron" is MINE lol I absolutely fell in love with him and Carly! I not only enjoyed this book, I also had fun reading it! Bastien and Carly's personalities, we're so much fun!! I loved when Bastien would tell Carly what he wanted to do to her, and how Carly was to headstrong to be told what to do lol And the nicknames Carly had for Bastien was so funny, I found myself laughing out loud while reading this book!!! However these two characters also took strong hold of my heart!! The love they shared was what I have been looking my entire life for as well as a man like Bastien! It was all of the little things he did for Carly that just pulled me into loving the man he is! This book was so much fun, and loving! This is not a must read, this is a have to read!!! I loved every part of it! If only I could find my own Bastien, life would be complete!!!

Bastien knows that Carly is his mate, he can feel it in the marrow of his bones and he does everything in his power to prove it to her. Even going out of his comfort zone because he doesn't know what would please her and prove to her his feelings for her. Her life becomes endangered and he goes out of his way to foil the kidnappings and to find out who is behind them, even going so far as to involve the cartel. As always there's surpises and an occasional bad guy but one thing that is always guaranteed and that is a Happily Ever After. Readers won't be disappointed with this great addition to the Raging Falls Series.

Bastien is a Bear shifter from Raging Falls who has found his mate. He knew he had found her the first moment he laid eyes on Carly Tablan. Now he was seeing her again for the wedding of his best friend, Luke who was marrying her best friend, Kira. He just had to convince Carly that they were mates. Easier said than done.

Carly was the maid of honor for her best friend's wedding. She had so much to see through. She had a crush on Bastien. He would never want someone like her...a voluptuous Latina when he looked the way he did.

These two scorch the pages of this book 2 in the series. So much happens that it keeps your interest peaked. I would have given this 5 Stars if the story had not finished so abruptly. It also just dropped Adam in the story, which did not make any sense. It also finished at 52% on my Kindle. I fell in love with the sexy bear shifter, Bastien. He was dreamy. Garrett had me laughing. Carly's puns had me cracking up.

I look forward to book 3.

~Book gifted in exchange for a honest review~

Milly put the bang in the boom, loved it. The big ole growly sexy man-bear and a full of soft curves and sass female. Just had a lot of fun with this story laughed at the antics, got upset with the stupid, fanned my face with the hot. All tied into such a enjoyable read.

What's a girl to do when she is used to doing things her way and meets a sexy than sin shifter with a heart and possessive streak. Well Carly says date me, woo and wow me and Bastin sets out to do just that.

I loved Luna from the first series and got to see a bit more of her here and loves her just that much more. I liked how Milly put in that our girl worried and tried to fit into the shell everyone else wanted her to, but then saw the error of her ways and started living for herself. Awesome! loved it.

Grab it, Read it, Enjoy it.

I loved Bastien, what a mouth on that naughty bear.

Carly is not going to let anybody run her life like her father did, or boss her around...She finally got away from him, from under his thumb and a hunky sexy bear is not going to tell her what to do, no matter that hunky sexy bear makes her want him in her bed..Man he can say some dirty things that just make her sigh.

Bastien saw her and just knew that Carly was his mate, she might not like his bossy domineering ways, but he has to find a way to convince her that he not only wants her luscious curves, but all of her forever. Even if it means getting her hot all over with his dirty talk.

But someone is out to grab Carly and he is not going to let that happen. A lot of unknown surprises await.

When I downloaded this book I was excited to read it but was unhappily surprised when I got the book SCent of a Mate instead of Miss Matched! I've never had this happen before but as I've already read Scent of a Mate I was not happy to get a book I've already read even though it was a great book. the store and Ms. Maiden need to remedy this or people will not be happy! I'm sure if I got the correct book I would have left a much more favorable review!

Carly and Bastein are brilliantly written characters. You feel the love and hate and lust in the story. Milly has made this book into another heart stopping-panty dropping story, that quite frankly I didn't want to end!

Milly Taiden can write some hot bear shifters! The second in a series, this book continues the fast-paced story of relationships between shifters and their life mates amidst outside forces and even family trying to keep them apart. A terrific meet-cute at her friend's wedding... and the heat takes off from there, despite the well-meaning but inept advice from Garrett (Bastien's friend) and some less helpful ideas from some non-shifters who had no appreciation for a deliciously curvy woman with a brain.If you haven't already, pick up the first book in this series as well as this one, and look for the rest coming up.

Another great book from Milly, I have to say that I have read ALL her books and have really enjoyed them all, not a dud in the bunch. I just wish it was possible for her to write faster, LOL. The Raging Falls series is another winner in my opinion. I love Bastion, can we clone him, he's yummy. I was actually surprised at the end with the relationship between Luna and Carly, won't give it away...read for yourself. Well worth the money, you won't be disappointed in your purchase.

I love this book. Champagne and wedding cake make for an interesting night. Bastion doesn't care what bridesmaid Carly thinks. He belongs to her and she better get used to it. It doesn't matter what daddy thinks or who he wants to show up now. She is his Carly and the orld best get used to it NOW. Telling more will just ruin the rest

A great read!! Filled with Milly's usual hot shifters and the strong sexy bbws they fall for. Carly is an awesome character who gives her bear a run for his money! Another hit for Ms Taiden and I cannot wait for more

It's an enjoyable read, fun characters, the right amount of intrigue and romance. Milly is great at world building. I enjoyed the book very much. The last 40 pages seemed to be rushed, but the ending was still satisfying.

My only criticism is with the editing. There were several errors (grammatical, missing words, wrong word (homonym)) in this book which should have been caught during the editing process, but weren't.

[Bona fide: I'm not receiving any form of compensation from anyone for any recommendation or review/critique. I'm a tech-geek chick who also happens to be a bibliophile, just adding my two cents to the mix.]

Would I recommend this book? Sure, and that's the level of my excitement about this story and other books I've read from this writer. There's nothing abhorrent or egregious about this story or the writing, nor is there anything special, unique or compelling.

The grammar is passable, nothing is making itself known. It's not great, and a hardcore grammarian would be far less generous, but I'm not a hardcore grammarian, so it's passable.

Inconsistent character behavior as a transitional device is nothing new, and is, of course in effect in this book (e.g. the female protagonist is reported to be smart, repeatedly, but then chooses to place herself in danger for an alcoholic beverage, which then allows the writer to introduce the next element of danger that allows the hero to be aggressive and save the day). Stronger writers write better transitions; you will not find strong writing in this book, but again, it's not horrible.

As an alternative, I recommend any series from Shelly Laurenston. There are four shifter series (The Magnus Pack, The Pride series, The Call of Crows (ongoing), and The Gathering, which is a single book series). If you desire dragons, try something from G.A. Aiken, which is the nome de plume of Shelly Laurenston for this series.

I purchased several books from all of the series, both in paperback and digital forms, and do often re-read them.

Be well, and happy reading! ☺
