True or fake?
This was a fun and spunky story that greatly expands the Bearfield world and leaves so many opportunities for spin offs. The fun and sexy undertone through out the book made for some explosive chemistry and fun. I'm looking forward to the next Bearfield story! I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book.

Another great addition to the Bearfield collection.
Fake it til you mate it is fun, romantic, and highly entertaining. Sarah and Danny are friends. Sarah agrees to pretend to be Danny's mate to keep him from being forced to mate with a woman of his parents choosing. Danny has wanted Sarah for a long time but never had a chance to act on it until now. Fast paced and sizzling hot this story is packed with all kinds of goodies. I received this story free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Fake It Til You Mate It
This story was a fun twist on the series. It's not directly in line with the series so it could be read on it's own and make sense. The interaction and the depth of the characters in this story alone make the box set worth getting. The plot and storyline are solid and well written. The twists and turns of the story keep you on your toes and wanting more.
