His fake boyfriend is causing his bear real problems When Jonathan is invited back home to his grandparents’ wedding anniversary, it only takes his overbearing mom a couple seconds to start setting him up with some nice eligible shifter men in his hometown. Lying about having a boyfriend means he’ll have to play pretend, but Jonathan is used to that. After almost losing control of his bear, he’s pretended not to have an inner animal for so long that his bear has gone dormant. Until Jonathan meets the guy who’ll be his fake boyfriend. Eric needs a distraction after breaking up with his cheating ex-boyfriend, and being someone else for a weekend sounds perfect. Pretending to be the boyfriend of a fun, attractive guy like Jonathan will be easy — so long as Eric can ignore his growing, genuine attraction to the other man. Surrounded by dozens of nosy and meddling family members, a terrible thunderstorm, and an inner bear that won’t be ignored, Jonathan and Eric have to figure out what’s real and what’s pretend, or else they’ll only be bear-ly dating. Bearly Dating is a stand alone gay shifter romance, and perfect if you love fake dating, pining, and one very stubborn bear.

That first time I saw her-my mate-I'd been ready to kick some guy's ass for even looking at her. I made no apologies for my possessive, territorial side. I was a grizzly bear shifter, after all. It was my nature to be over the top.Bethany hadn't known what to do at first-being mated to a shifter-one who was grouchy and burly and made no apologies for how rugged he really was. But she wanted me, my sweet little human mate who could have brought a beast like me to my knees with just a look.I'd wanted nothing more than to throw her over my shoulder and take her back to my lair like a caveman. But I let her take the lead, even if my bear wasn't happy, even if the alpha in me wanted to have my way with her right then and there.And I would have my way with her. All the ways that counted, in fact.I'd claim her, mark her, and before it was all said and done, there'd be no doubt in anyone's mind that Bethany was owned by a grizzly.Warning: Holy moly, this hero's crazy for his mate, but who wouldn't want one OTT alpha bear shifter obsessed with you? This story is sweet and sexy, and oh so very filthy. Of course, you get a happily ever after ... and a little somethin'-somethin' at the end to wrap it up nicely.

Hookup culture has become widespread on college campuses, and Catholic colleges are no exception. Indeed, despite the fact that most students on Catholic campuses report being unhappy with casual sexual encounters, most studies have found no difference between Catholic colleges and their secular counterparts when it comes to hooking up. Drawing on a survey of over 1000 students from 26 institutions, as well as in-depth interviews, Jason King argues that religious culture on Catholic campuses can, in fact, have an impact on the school's hookup culture, but when it comes to how that relationship works: it's complicated. In Faith with Benefits, King shows the complex way these dynamics play out at Catholic colleges and universities. There is no straightforward relationship between orthodoxy and hookup culture--some of the schools with the weakest Catholic identities also have weaker hookup cultures. And not all students define the culture in the same way. Some see a hookup as just a casual encounter, where others see it as a gateway to a relationship. Faith with Benefits gives voice to students, revealing how their faith, the faith of their friends, and the institutional structures of their campus give rise to different hookup cultures. In doing so, King addresses the questions of students who don't know where to turn for practical guidance on how to navigate ever-shifting campus cultures, reconciling their faith with their relationships. Students, parents, faculty, administrators-indeed, anyone who cares about Catholic teenagers and young adults-will find much of value in this book.

Opposites attract in this laugh-out-loud rom-com about a heart-throb actor, the grumpy woman who minds his beloved dog, and the cat that steals his heart. Ethan James has a problem: he’s about to start shooting a movie and he needs someone to mind his anxious dog, Harry. This film could make or break Ethan's career, and he knows he has to give it all his attention, but Harry's new minder turns out to be more of a hindrance than a help. She's gorgeous and funny, and throws so much shade in his direction that Ethan can't think straight. Hazel Conor has a problem: she’s just lost her job as a sous chef at the fancy beachside restaurant she uphauled her life for. And if she doesn’t get another job soon, she won’t be able to afford food – or worse, cat food, and then her grouchy cat Kevin will finally murder her in her sleep. So when she sees an ad for an easy dog minder job, she goes for it. Hazel finds everything about Ethan annoying; he’s flashy, flirty, and a total charmer. She probably wouldn’t look at him twice if it wasn’t for her cat. Because Kevin, the cat who hates everyone, is totally smitten with Ethan James. And with each purr, cheek rub and head bump that Kevin bestows on Ethan, Hazel begins to wonder if there’s something her cat can see that she can’t.

Colleen Luview's love life is cursed. No—really. The small-town nurse is notorious in her touristy mountain community. After every third date she's ever had, the guy ends up in her emergency room. She's untouchable now, and it's not her fault. Resolved to branch out and find a way to have a life with a partner, children, meaning, and free from being a love pariah in a town devoted to it, she decides to leave her beloved Love You, Maine—where every day is Valentine's Day—to find a bigger dating pool. And a better nickname. Moore Mottin hates feeling like damaged goods.

When Luke's sister, Colleen, picks him up from the airport and a freak snowstorm forces them off the road, he rescues her from an icy pond and finds an old hunting cabin for shelter and safety.

Can Moore and Colleen overcome all the obstacles holding them back from a love that's been in front of their faces all this time?
