2.5 stars!

Esta vez es la historia de un cambiante oso y una chica que escapa de la rutina con su madre. Una madre que simplemente se va con su dinero y la deja en la calle. Así que ella, coge su coche y sus cosas y se va pero en el camino tiene un accidente y es rescatada por el hombre que se convertirá en su para siempre.

Por una vez cambiar de temática y me encanta. Creo que este libro incluso esta algo conectada con la saga de cambiantes de lobo que tienen estas autoras porque si no recuerdo mal Stone era el alpha... y aquí lo nombra así que...
bueno que me ha encantado para pasar el rato sin duda. Tengo muchos más para leer pero me acaba de llegar un libro así que allá que voy jajaja

Repeat reading! Still one of my favorite by Alexa Riley and a growling 5 star read!
____________________________________________

Growl!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved the hero and heroine in this one: insta-everything!

Shifter love can't get any better than this. It's the fastest mating you can dream of, smutty and heart-warming and oh so steamy.

There's a female character chasing her dreams, a heroic rescue from a bear shifter that I pictured as Henry Cavill in my head, hairy chest and all, and a protective streak as big as a mountain.

It is all so very cute. I'd love this shifter world to have as many stories as possible, dozens of them. Lola is saved from the snow only to find herself pampered, taken care of and pleasured in naughty ways by a shifter bear who claims her for his own.

Expect sweetness galore and a couple that discovers pelasures of the flesh together and practices with lots of enthusiasm. I loved whas Beau does for a living and that he shows so much care for his mate. It's really sweet and funny the lengths he goes to. Domestic bliss is palpable and so cute in the several epilgoues. This will surely leave you smiling contentedly.

Lola decides to change her life, and ends up finding a huge change.
Driving down the road in search of the perfect place for a fresh start, she ends up suffering an accident and is saved by Bleu, a recluse bear shifter.
Bleu saves the girl, and is enchanted by the pretty blondie. Looks like he found his own golden locks. Now all he has to do is convince her that he is a perfect mate.
Lola finds what she was looking for and more. She leaves all her past behind and opens up to her new life as a mate to a bear, now no longer lonely.
Cold winter nights and snowstorms are not a problem when you can hibernate with your own bear.
Alexa Riley warms our hearts again with this delightful story.

This was hot, short and to the point. Classic Alexa Riley novella.

Funny situation with this book... I have a tendency of reading on the bus on the way to work. So this morning this was my read. Quite quickly into the book and we have heat coming off the pages and... my cheeks. Clearly there was something wrong with me so people started staring at me. I had to put this read down. I know it was probably my imagination as people Don't really care what you read on a bus but I just couldn't continue... dirty reads and buses...

I really enjoy rereading this revised added content.
Lola has left home and is heading to Gray Ridge, for a new life. She has also never seen snow in her life and driving in it is hard enough when the road is slick and the snow is getting heavier by the minute. She's driving along and hits a slick spot and wrap around a tree.
Bleu is outside collecting wood to take into the house. The snow is coming down thick, heavy and doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon. When he hears a loud crash. Then a female scream right after. Now he's on the run to find and save the female. Once he has her back at the cabin he strips her of her cold wet clothes, wraps up in thick blankets, then takes her to his bed lays her down on the mattress and covers her with more blankets.

"Warning: This is a short shifter story filled with sweet, cheesy possessiveness and lots of growling. Obviously. Go ahead read it. You know you want to!" Quote from Growling for Her by Alexa Riley

Alexa Riley and bear shifters? Hell yeah!
I don’t think I’ve read a book by them with a supernatural twist but I really liked this one. Lola and Blue were adorable! I loved their scenes and how protective he was of her. Can someone point me in the direction of Grey Ridge so I can find a bear shifter?
This was a quick and sexy read by an author that I love.

Just the dueces.. but hey 2 (stars) is company right? Meh. Once again my 'liking' of this book really had nothing to do with Alexa Riley's writing, I just wasn't really a fan of this story. This is kind of like a spin off novella of the Fairytale Shifters Series and could be read anywhere in the series as it really takes place outside of the series and has no spoilers.

Honestly I liked the characters, Bleu and Lola, just fine in the book, at least individually.. Their personalities though just seemed so different it was hard to smash them together. Lola, city girl, seems outgoing and effervescent. Bleu is so introverted and almost paranoid. I ended up having a mild panic that Alexa Riley had decided to not hand out a HEA here.. it was for a split second as it seemed within Lola's nature to buck Bleu's paranoia and possessiveness but contrary to what her personality was leaning toward she didn't go that route. Bleu kind of came off as a creeper for a hot second but ended up tamping it back into the sticky sweet we know AR prizes in her males!

Quick fast and in a hurry, just a little HEA to get you through your day!

Oh my sweetness. Bleu and Lola are the sweetest.

This couple is beyond sweet. Like seriously you'll have a toothache when your done reading it. I can't even begin to tell you how cute this story is. You just have to read it for yourself.

This is a revised and added to version of Growling for Mine.
I love Bleu and Lola. Bleu is one Alpha growly bear for his mate.
The insta love is so freaking hawt!!!!

At this point, anyone who reads my reviews knows I am a huge Alexa Riley fan. Literally read everything they publish. What is not to love in quick, sexy, very steamy stories with alpha males we all secretly love, right? In Growling For More we meet Bleu and Lola.

Lola has nobody she can really count on. She has her mom, but Lola takes care of her way more than she has ever taken care of Lola. When her mom blows of the rent again, she goes in search of a town where shifters are believed to live. Something is driving her there. What she never expected was the snowstorm that hits quickly, the accident she has or the gigantic man that rescues her.

Bleu lives a solitary life and he is okay with that. He lives his day building furniture for the nearby town, but this is all this bear shifter needs in his life. That is until he rescues Lola and finds his mate. Never one to truly believe in mates, one look at her and he knows she is the one for him. But how will he make her stay?

I loved Growling For More by Alexa Riley. Bleu is your typical alpha male who knows what he wants and is determined to have it. Lola was sweet and caring and just what needed. A quick and sexy rad for all Alexa Riley fans!

4.5 stars! Happy reading!

Well this will be short and sweet. It was terrible. Didn’t get too far in to it before I DNF’d it. It was way too fast. We don’t even get a grip on who the characters are before they start going at it. I need ot care about them before we get there guys. Otherwise, this is what you get, a DNF. Super disappointing.

Second read - Just as good as the first time I read it.

Gah! What's not to love?!

Shifter goodness topped with Insta-everything!

4 big stars!

2/5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️
Ugh.. didn’t like this one very much.

Los shifters de AR siguen rescatándome de mi eterno reading slump 😂

3 stars. Very cute and steamy shifter novella. The characters were cute and I loved that they lived in a cabin in the woods. Bleu is a bear shifter but he wasn't what I was expecting at all. He's actually one of the sweeter Alexa Riley heroes and he was a virgin and all inexperienced. It was adorable. Don't get me wrong, he's definitely still over the top protective and possessive but there were a lot of sweet moments as well.

Quick and cute novella. It delivered on everything I've come to expect from Alexa Riley.

This was even better the second time reading it! Lola and Bleu are a cute couple. I loved how Bleu protected Lola right from the beginning.

“I’ve got to get you warm, little one.”

Bleu Took one whiff of her panties and that’s all it took for him to want Lola as his mate!

“You will be mine. If I mate you, you cannot leave. I will hunt you down and bring you back to our home.”

Lola didn’t want to go back to her old life. She was looking for something different. So when he said he wanted her always... she didn’t fight him about it. Because she wanted that too!

“I don’t know how it’s possible to go through something like this in such a short space of time, but I feel like I’ve found the other half of my soul. Which is freaking crazy.”

I loved how Lola embraced all of Bleu. Including his shifter side!

“We are one, my bear and I. We both want you, we are both mated to you, and we both love you.”

The ending was cute! All their little cubs! And Bleu still can’t get enough of his mate!

Cute. Sweet. He gets on his knees for her in a new kind of way. There's no bullsh*t anywhere. And he never shifts during sec which gives me hives.

I first read this in its original form for the More Than Mated world. But this edition said it had expanded content. I don't what was "expanded" but I didn't notice anything new.

All the men in this series are some hot alpha bears who love to breed ,cuddle and take care for their mates .. What woman wouldnt want that . Lola and bleu were so cute together 😍#ARC

I already read this book before but still i can't help but to reread it.. i love reading paranormals.. love the possessiveness of the male alpha..

Great shifter story. Very sweet and fast paced. Loved the epilogues.

I just Love these short insta-love stories from Alexa Riley! They always get me out of my reading funk
