Description from the publisher:
There's no way you'd catch Kelly
Dean at a speed dating event…unless her best friend, Savina, had something to
do with it. There's also no way you'd find the no-nonsense BBW in the company
of three different alpha male cowboys in the span of under a week, but when werebears
after their fated mates get mixed with women who are two parts sass, one part
curves, you'll find anything can happen. The only question is, will this Texas
fairytale end with this Cinderella finding her Prince Charming…and her lost
shoes?
Kelly's a recent college grad
keeping herself busy by helping her friend Savina organize the first ever
Fallowedirt Hoedown, a celebration of the town's recent economic growth. Part
of that growth has come in the form of the McCarthy Dude Ranch, home to a
veritable bounty of hot shifter men. Kelly's far too busy to date one man; much
less three hot-blooded cowboy werebears who all want to claim her as their
fated mate. She definitely doesn't have time for their drama. While these
cowboys might be experts at driving cattle, it seems all these shifters can do
with Kelly is drive her away.
Jeff, Tom, and Will may seem
similar, but the three grizzly bear cowboys couldn't be more different.
All-American Jeff can't stand local bad boy Will, and neither can stand the out
of towner, Tom the doctor. These three grizzlies can barely get along on the
ranch, working side by side. How are they supposed to manage to ménage? The
clock's ticking, and while these three fight, the hoedown swiftly approaches,
and Kelly's curves are sashaying right back out of town. Which one of these
cowboys will win Kelly's heart?
Love fairy tales and fated mates?
Can't get enough of speedy reads and speed dates? Into sassy BBWs learning to
love and the hot-blooded wild shifter heroes begging to be tamed? Not afraid of
a good-old-fashioned happy ending (no cliffhangers allowed) for a three-on-one
ménage a trois-plus-one? And most importantly, do you think that grandmas and
pies can save the frikkin' world?
Then check out "The Cinderella
Hoedown", and look for the rest of the books in the "Fated Mate Speed
Date" series on Amazon, available via the Kindle Unlimited program! This
series has elements of romantic comedy, Western romance, and of course,
shifter-focused paranormal romances between curvy BBWs and a menagerie of
different alpha male shifters.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CINDERELLA HOEDOWN is the first book
in the Fated Mate Speed Date series.
They will each stand on their own, but with lots of glimpses into the
lives of each other and old friends.
I am able to surmise that The
Feminine Mesquite Series is also set
in Fallowedirt, TX and that Kelly’s best friend, Savina, is the main character of
one of those books. So, if you’ve read
that series, you’re going to get a b-i-g update in those lives. On the other hand, if you haven’t read them –
as I have not – you will not be lost.
This book is the start of a new series and does not rely on that previous
knowledge, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to read them now!
That being said, let’s talk about
Kelly, Tom, Will, and Jeff. Three bear
shifters and a BBW. I love sassy and
confident Kelly. She’s a terrific friend
to Savina and to herself. When the men
act up, she tells them all off and stands up for herself, but when they work
together, she’s adult enough to work with them, too. The four of them are real and to me that
makes for great characters. They have
flaws. They are funny. They are human… and some of them are
bears. So, how does one woman choose
between three gorgeous men set on claiming their one fated mate? The answer takes thinking outside of the box…
I loved this story and I’m looking
forward to more from this series.
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC,
