Publisher's summary

Three for the price of two. For the first time ever, a handy collection of the first three novellas in the Scottish Werebear series. Titles include An Unexpected Affair, A Dangerous Business, and A Forbidden Love.

Scottish Werebear: An Unexpected Affair

When romance novelist Clarice Adler hides herself away in a secluded holiday cottage to finish a book, the last thing she needs is another relationship. Imagine her surprise when she falls head over heels for the man who runs the place.

Derek McMillan knows Clarice is his mate, but he's a bear shifter, and she's human, and the two simply don't mix. They are literally worlds apart; can they find a way to come together?

Scottish Werebear: A Dangerous Business

As part of the Alliance, bear shifter Aidan McMillan is hunting the Sons of Domnall, a secret society of humans sworn to destroy all shifters. Along comes Heidi Blackwood, his fated mate, and it suddenly becomes nearly impossible to focus on the job.

Scottish Werebear: A Forbidden Love

Alison Campbell has been told that shifters are evil and the world would be a better place without them. In her efforts to infiltrate the Alliance to gather intel for the Sons of Domnall, she comes across Jamie Abbott, bear shifter and Alliance leader, who doesn't seem so bad at all. In fact he seems to be all her heart desires, and the feeling is mutual. Where will her loyalties lie when it becomes time to pick a side once and for all?

Great shifter stories!

What did you love best about Scottish Werebear, Books 1-3?

I loved that it was actually a male narrator and that it was told from the male POV for the most part. I also liked the first story the best out of the 3. Derek was so certain

What was one of the most memorable moments of Scottish Werebear, Books 1-3?

I think my favorite part or most memorable was in the first story when Derek wanted Clarice but couldn't have her because they're different. She is a human and he is a bear shifter.

What about Patrick Blackthorne’s performance did you like?

I really liked his voice and how he gave the extra intonation on the words. That is very important when I listen to books.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I really liked the Unexpected Affair story the best. I liked Clarice and Derek's relationship.

*Possible Spoilers*

- An Unexpected Affair:
Clarice Adler decides to go on a small trip to focus on her writing.
Once she arrives at the cottage, she meets, the owner, Derek McMillan.
He immediately knows that Clarice is his mate. He tries to give her space but quickly realizes it is a losing battle.

- A Dangerous Business:
This story is about Aiden, Derek's(from book one) brother.
Aiden is a member of a secret society, the Alliance.
The Rannock Alpha has sent Heidi, his daughter, to be the wolf representative for the Alliance.
Aiden and Heidi meet and it is a bit tense at first. I wasn't too sure about a were bear and a wolf mating, seemed a bit odd to me.
Heidi needs a little rescuing and afterwards she decides to give Aiden a chance.
Derek and Clarice from book one make an appearance in this book.
The second book ends a bit abruptly similar to the first book.

- A Forbidden Love:
Jamie is the Alliance Leader in Edinburgh and Alison goes under cover to find information on the Alliance and The Sons of Domnall.
Sparks fly between the two main leads and soon enough they form their own "alliance".
Alison's mission soon changes to helping Jamie find out what happened to his missing brother, Matthew.


I would recommend this book(s) only when the author has completed the series.
The author stated that it can be read as a stand-alone but the books end too abruptly for them to be stand alone books.
I will be willing to re read or re listen once the series is complete.


Patrick Blackthorne did well with the narration.

Very interesting read that holds your attention

Any additional comments?

Scottish Werebears: An Unexpected Affair
This was a short story that sets up the rest of the series. The author bring a very interesting plot which goes back many years from the day Derek parents were killed could it have been an accident as they believed or could it have been more. The store moves around Derek and Clarice meeting with a strong pull from the start. There is a little misunderstanding or maybe confusion that the two will have to overcome before even thinking about a relationship plus she must find out what he truly is, understand it and expect it. There is danger near which will come to play in the future books in this series. It was an interesting plot that held your attention with a little mystery.


Scottish Werebears: A Dangerous Business
This was a cute read with danger, a little mystery, love story that is a little different but blends very well. The characters were interesting with cross breeding and how they deal with it. We learn more about Aidan and what happened to his parents. Here is where The Sons of Domnall, come into the story they are a secret society of humans sworn to destroy all shapeshifters.

Heidi is a very sweet wonderful character that won’t back down from a fight. When she and Aidan first me sparks fly. The pull is strong but neither is willing to give an inch. Both are very surprised to find they are not the same kind of shifter. This is a nice romance but pretty clean and very sexy. I enjoyed it.

We meet Jamie he is the star in the next book. We learn a little about him with is a great starting to the next book in the series. It is a short sweet read the author does a wonderful job of keeping your attention with a very good story line. The ending was good and leads right into the next book in this series.

Scottish Werebears: A Forbidden Love
This part of the series fills in a few blanks from Jamie past with a lead to his long lost family member. Things come to a head with The Sons of Domnall and Alliance as they go head to head bring back one of their own. Way more is lost then lives leave family torn in to. Alison is about to get some home truths that won’t settle to well with a few and leaves her life up in the air pulled in to different direction she is going to have to make some very tough decisions. In this book you find out what Jamie is hiding from his fellow Alliance’s. He has had some trying times which leave him with many sleepless nights. He Knows Alison is hiding something as well as who she really is but it seem he is hiding something as well.

I enjoyed getting to know past characters better and seeing how things were going for them. Alison and Jamie’s story is very touching and at the same time heartbreaking. I am looking forward to the next book in this series to find out just how Mattie turned out. Even though so much as been gained so much has been lost. So many people pulling on wives tales no one knowing just what the truth is makes you wonder just what The Sons of Domnall is basing their information on.

This was another very fast listen with some great story lines and plot. The characters you can relate to with a believable story line. There is a little mystery and a little action as the two groups go head to head more than once making you hold your breath wondering who will end up on top if any of them will. The ending is very touching but at the same time very heartbreaking.


Mr. Blackthorne’s narration was very good with interesting character voices that blends well with the story. His male voices are just as good as his female’s one. You always know who is talking and what their emotions are. There was one place that I could tell the volume changed just enough that you could tell if you were listening. I am guessing this is when a break was taken. Other than that the volume was very even throughout the audio. There are no background noises this is a very clear and clean audio. Mr. Blackthorne has a very nice voice his normal voice is just as great as his characters ones. I have to say for a man he does a very lovely female voice. His voice did pull me in making me feel comfortable and right at home. I had no trouble picturing when Clarice first sees the bear and feeling her emotions. The author does an outstanding job with the passionate scenes really giving the first night of love true emotions. I haven’t had the pleasure of listening to his work but to look forward to listening to more of it.

For short stories the author put a lot in a little. There are not many fillers with each word having a place in the story giving it a very believable plot with wonderful characters. I love the mystery and how she deliverers the back ground and the history of the werebears. There were some very intense passionate scenes that could give you hot flashes. However I did think a few sexual words did take away from the story in book one which put it a little on the erotica side the other books are not like that but very enjoyable with passionate and lots of chemistry. The author does a wonderful job of keeping your attention with a very good story line. The ending was good and leads right into the next book in this series.

Enjoyable shifter series

I really enjoyed this collection of the first 3 books in this series. All of the main characters are likeable and well written and each story introduces you the main Werebear of the next installment in the series.

Scottish Werebear, Books 1-3

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes.

The audiobook gave us 3 different engaging stories that combine romance, mystery, paranormal elements and as a bonus, they are set in Scotland.

Have you listened to any of Patrick Blackthorne’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first audiobook narrated by Patrick I have listened to and I enjoyed it.
Patrick balances the different characters beautifully.

What I enjoyed most with Patrick's narration, was the fact he narrated both female and characters in a believable way.

He didn't get over the top while narrating the female leads in each book (not all male narrators have that ability) , he kept the narration true to the situations the characters found themselves in.

Did Scottish Werebear, Books 1-3 inspire you to do anything?

Yes.

To dare to be more, believe in yourself, follow your heart even in difficult situations that challenge your beliefs.

Great Book!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this set contains books 1-3 of the Scottish Werebear series written by Loreliei Moone and narrated by Patrick Blackthorne. This book can be listened to in one sitting if you have the time, once I started listening to it I didn’t want to put it down until the end. When romance novelist Clarice Adler hides herself away in a secluded holiday cottage to finish a book, the last thing she needs is another relationship. Imagine her surprise when she falls head over heels for the man who runs the place. Derek McMillan knows Clarice is his mate, but he's a bear shifter, and she's human, and the two simply don't mix.


The narrator Patrick Blackthorne did a great job with this book. He did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to in one sitting and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.

If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

Pleasantly surprised

As of last year, I’ve become an avid audible user (I used to only use it sparingly). I love this kind of genre and sadly came across so many books I strongly disliked. So, I now go into new ones with little hope, but the first book drew me in, and I listened to 1-3 all the way through. Everyone is different, so hard to say for others, but I liked it.

Really Enjoyed it!

Where does Scottish Werebear, Books 1-3 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's pretty high at the top. I love the series so far!

Which character – as performed by Patrick Blackthorne – was your favorite?

it's Aidan and Heidi

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Alison stood against her family to help save Jamie and the others.

Any additional comments?

I had the audio version of it. This is the first time I read any shifter books. I really enjoyed the first three books of the series. I liked being able to continue reading the story. The characters were great. The shifter men super hot. Can't wait to read the next book. Great story lines, all connected. Short read but tantalizingly sweet! I'm going to look fro the 4th book that way I can read it. Keep up the great story lines. Definitely an one-click buy. If you love to read about shifters' story then this book is for you to read.

Perfect combo of sweet and sexy!

What made the experience of listening to Scottish Werebear, Books 1-3 the most enjoyable?

Character development draws you in completely. You can't help but like these people and want good things for them.

Which character – as performed by Patrick Blackthorne – was your favorite?

Hands down, Derek was my fave! He didn't want to love Clarice, but couldn't fight the pull. He's such a loner and doesn't seem to even like people, but deep down he's a sweetheart.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! It took a couple of sittings, due to time constraints, but I didn't want to stop listening. I wanted to know what would happen and how things would work out for these bears and their mates!

Any additional comments?

I was a bit disappointed that, with the name "Scottish Werebear", the story wasn't read with a Scottish accent. But that quickly changed to a pleasant surprise. Patrick Blackthorne did a wonderful job. He has one of those voices that makes you want to listen.
