In the Mood Fur Love (Fur #2) by Eve Langlais, Milly Taiden, Kate Baxter | Romance Review
In the Mood Fur Love is an anthology of shifter romance novellas written by Eve Langlais, Milly Taiden, and Kate Baxter. I definitely enjoyed some stories more than others, but overall I did enjoy reading the collection.
First up is Bearing his Touch by Eve Langlais, a romance involving a bear shifter. Becka has been kept captive and tortured by her kidnapper for a month now. When she finally manages to escape, she runs into Stavros who immediately recognizes her as his mate and determines to do everything in his power to help protect her.
This one was my second favorite out of the three. There was a lot of action, Stavros was sweet, and his family was hilarious. I really appreciated that Stavros took his time with Becka in this book. He wants nothing more than to sweep her up into his arms and love up on her, but she’s not super big on physical contact at the moment because, you know, tortured for a month. And he totally gets it and doesn’t push it and lets her set the pace. Becka was a little annoying to me. She’s determined not to be a burden to Stavros and his family and put them in danger, which is understandable. But after she finds out that they’re literally all bears, she still feels this way? Like, she does not think an entire sleuth of bears is a match for this guy and his goons who have kept her captive. Honey. They are literal bears. I think they’re going to be fine. I enjoyed this one for the most part.
Second, we have Fake Mated to the Wolfby Milly Taiden. Mates Fur Hire is a company run by Hawke, where shifters can join a dating service in hopes of finding their mates more quickly and efficiently. One of his employees, Shawna, is unceremoniously fired without Hawke’s knowledge and the dating site starts turning into garbage. Once Hawke finds out, he goes on a mission to get Shawna back, and also get her to date him as she’s his mate.
You guys, I really hated this one. I found absolutely nothing redeemable about it. First of all, Hawke has known Shawna is his mate for a month prior to the beginning of this story. He has several opportunities to let her know she’s his mate throughout the book, and chooses not to? Instead he continues to tell Shawna about his mate, which makes her furious because she wouldn’t be dating him and making out with him if she had known he had a mate. Also, there is a scene where Shawna is super excited to go home and use her new “toy”, because she is not blind to how attractive Hawke is, no matter how much she resists the desire to be with him. So she goes home, she’s using her toy, and she starts imagining Hawke’s voice in her ear saying all kinds of sexy things to her. Except, she’s not imagining it. He broke into her apartment and is standing in the doorway of her bedroom watching her. I’m sorry, breaking and entering is not sexy. Neither is invading someone’s privacy in such a way. Aside from Hawke being the literal worst, there’s a side plot where Shawna’s family is being held hostage somewhere and she needs to keep working so she can pay them not to hurt her family, and I feel like I should have cared more about this plot, but I honestly just didn’t because it was so confusing and shrouded in mystery for so much of the story.
Last, we have my favorite of the three stories, The Witch, The Werewolf, and the Waitress by Kate Baxter. Ellie has been stuck in Lowman, Idaho for the past 200 years since a jealous witch cursed her to immortality stuck in this town. Colin, a werewolf who lives in the next big town over knows Ellie is his mate as soon as he sets eyes on her at the diner she works in and becomes determined to free her of this curse.
This one was so good! Right off the bat Ellie and Colin have amazing chemistry. The first time they get together, Colin puts Ellie on top so that she’s in control and tells her he knows they’re moving really fast and they can stop whenever she wants. Spoiler alert, she doesn’t want to. #consentissexy #breakingandenteringisnot. While I loved this story, it didn’t come without flaws. There is a lot of drama in the tail end of the story that really could have been avoided if there had been a little bit of communication. Also, without spoiling anything, the ending of the book really rubbed me the wrong way. However, I loved Ellie’s free spirit and the banter between her and Colin. I loved that Colin was independent and wanted his own things aside from the pack. It was all just done really well.
As a whole, I give the collection 4 out of 5 controllers. Even though I couldn’t stand the second novella, I enjoyed the other two enough that I don’t regret reading the collection, and I would recommend it for anyone who is a fan of shifter romances.
My Rating
In the Mood Fur Love (Fur #2) by Eve Langlais, Milly Taiden, Kate Baxter | Romance Review was originally published on Mother/Gamer/Writer
In The Mood Fur Love
BEARING HIS TOUCH: Eve Langlais
Becka has been held hostage and abused for a month when one day she manages to get away, run for her life and run into Stavros (bear-shifter) who immediately knows she is his mate and is compelled to do all in his power to keep her safe. This is a fun read that includes humans and paranormal creatures and is quirky and funny and definitely left me with a smile on my face. I am still smiling at the variation in fairytales that were-bears tell their children.
FAKE MATED TO THE WOLF: Milly Taiden
Shawna has family, work and money problems so when her inept and nasty boss fires her life becomes even more difficult. She does have good friends who stand beside her and a man who knows she is his fated mate BUT getting her to see it is so takes some doing on his part. Enjoyable read with a HEA for Shawna and Hawke.
THE WITCH, THE WEREWOLF, AND THE WAITRESS: Kate Baxter
This story had the feel of a fairytale with the princess cursed by a wicked witch. Ellie has lived for centuries after Witch Sarah cursed her. Her life has been long and lonely and she has endured but when Colin the werewolf shows up he realizes she is his mate and both their lives soon change bigtime. This story has a quest that if and when completed will impact both Colin and Ellie. Thoroughly enjoyed this story!

The Big Alpha in Town
Three paranormal shifter romances in one volume
BEARING HIS NAME: Eve Langlais
Receiving a baby announcement sets Ark and others on the prowl to find out whether or not they are the baby-daddy of Ruby’s unborn child. More slapstick and comedic than deep but Ruby does find the daddy and Ark finds his mate.
OWNED BY THE LION: MILLY Taiden
Part of a series with shifters finding their mates in this one Ally and Keir find out that their relationship is more than just business.
NO NEED FOR LOVE: Kate Baxter
I think this was my favorite of the three stories…Mia, a nymph, has need of man so sets out to find one not realizing that Owen, a werewolf, might be more than just a guy to scratch an itch. This story sizzles in more ways than one and provides a bit more depth than the other two stories.

BEARING HIS SIN by Eve Langlais
Fun read of Greek bear assassin Cole literally falling at the feet of Anja, his fated mate. There are werewolves, a bear hero, the Russian tiger mafia, a wannabe husband trying to kidnap Anja and more but what really grabbed me was the style of writing that made me smile. Anja is no delicate maiden needing a savior and Cole is a man who is rather blunt but endearingly so. This was a bit over the top but in such a delightful way that I couldn’t stop reading once I began.
BOUGHT BY THE BEAR by Milly Taiden
Josilyn is in a tight financial situation as she takes care of the nephew in her charge. Her friend provides an opportunity to be pretend mat to Xander and she grabs it – she needs the money. Xander realizes at first sniff she is his mate but how to let her know without scaring her away? This story has someone out to do Josilyn in, Xander doing his best to keep her safe, a mother-in-law and ex-husband from H*ll and a HEA for all…I felt this might be part of a series and that I was missing something at times but all in all it was a fun read.
THE ALPHA AND I by Kate Baxter
Revenge wanted by a bear shifter puts Liam Murphy near death just off the road as Devon Kincaid drives by. Managing to get him home in one piece he wakes to realize his alpha wolf half has determined Devon is the mate they have been waiting centuries for. Keeping Devon safe, defeating the revenge seeker and introducing Liam’s pack are part and parcel of this story that made me want to read more in the series…if there is one. With humor and spice and a bit of nice this was another read that I thoroughly enjoyed.
