I love books of this genre - the premise of the storyline looked just what i was
looking for to pass a lazy afternoon .
I would suggest reading the previous book in the series to set the characters and worldbuilding in place .

Marika and Devon are opposites - neat freak meets free spirit , with a messy side - but once they realise
they are mates sparks fly .
This book is filled with shifters , both born natural and lab born , along with aliens and possibly vampires and zombies - which always make for an entertaining story - when it doesn't get too crowded .
There is danger and suspense but also a lighter side too - where will they story take us ?

But I hate books that leaves the reader with a cliff hanger - URGH!!!!

I liked Devon and Marika together, but the book has a cliffhanger, which I didn't like. Also, hard to keep track of aliens, shifters (natural and lab made), possible vampires and zombies. Seemed a bit crowded. Not exactly sure what the issue was with the water and the pipeline, but I guess that is why there is a cliffhanger. Would recommend, but suggest you read the other in the series, which i did not, as it would help with the confusion.

FUR FOX'S SAKE by Milly Taiden. Marika and Devin, our lovely couple in this tale, could not be two different people. He's a neat freak and she's a free spirit and just a bit on the messy side. I truly enjoyed when they discover they are mates and how they face it. The plot kept me interested too. It was interesting and intriguing the "scientific" method of becoming a shifter. Ms. Taiden writes that part well that almost had me believing it's real! :) I would recommend reading book one as it certainly can help clarify a few things. If you enjoy paranormal shifter stories that have some danger/suspense, but are on the lighter side too, this one is for you. Ms. Taiden had me smiling and successfully created a feel good story that made me want more. On that note, this tale is a standalone but it does leave the story plot unfinished, not Marika and Devin but the story as a whole. (received ARC for honest review)

Fans of mysteries, shifters, and new chances at love will be absolutely smitten with this book. Losing your first love isn't always the end of the road for your heart, and sometimes odd circumstances can help your heart bloom anew.

I love the author and I am a huge fan of her pda series whilst this is a decent book but it is not one of her best and ends with an HFN with no epilogue.

This was very difficult to get through. I had no emotional connection to the H or h.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I was hoping I might. For a story about shifters, there was very little shifting in the book. I wanted to see the characters' animal side just as much as their human side but they only came out for a tiny portion of the story. I was a bit disappointed by that.

If you are looking for a standalone, I would not suggest reading this book. This is the second book in a series that has an overall storyline that spans across more than just one book.

Very punny title, however I was distracted by typos and didn't really get into it. There are many shifter books like this and nothing really jumped out as me and set this book apart from others. It was a fun read, but didn't rock my world.

Great character development, intelligent messy female nicely balances OCD male. Good back story, strong characters, what's not to like

Good story line with characters that keep the reader invested and turning pages. Will be looking for her books.
Ebook from Netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

Unfortunately this story was just flat for me. The character development was there, but just not enough in the story to grab and hold my attention.

Sorry I just could not get into this series. I just felt the writing lacked something that could get me involved instead of bored

M/F Shifter Romance
Warning: Unfinished ending – not quite a cliffhanger, but close

I would suggest reading book one as you will need to know who the characters are from that one because they are in this one as well.

Okay, this book was kind of all over the place for me. While I really liked the story, I sometimes had a hard time following what was going on. We have the main couple, Devin and Marika. They are the couple that find each other in this story. However, we are still watching Charli and Barry too and their stories are intertwined.

Devin had kind of given up on finding his mate. However, when he comes to a crime scene, with his extra abilities, he knows that he'll have to get the help from the shifter unit and also knows that they will need the help of Fish and Wildlife since there was a mangled shifter body found at the scene.

The "science" in this story is funny, but developed. There are explanations as to how the shifters who aren't born that way develop and it's almost convincing. You are also introduced more to Klamin, the bad guy. He's interesting and intriguing.

Then you have the mystery of Charli's Barry. When he figures out what and who he was previously, before the amnesia, Barry goes running. It devastates Charli and we see their struggle to figure out whether or not they can overcome.

I really do like that this book left us wondering, but I think that more could have been resolved and revealed. It seems that either the next book will have to have so much information in it – right now, there are 2 different story lines that need to be resolved. However, I can't wait to see what the resolution is.

If you haven't read the other stories in this series you will be a bit lost. This story focuses on another couple but theirs alot of things that were left unsolved thats still a large theme in this installment.

This is a great book; this is the second book in the Shifters Undercover series written by Milly Taiden. This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night. If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

This book was the follow up after Bearly In Control. You will definitely want to red that before this book. This book is Marika and Devin’s story, and what a story it was! Marika is a fox shifter with an abundance of energy! Devin is an OCD panther shifter. The two are polar opposites, but they complement each other extremely well. There is so much intrigue in this story, and it answers a lot of unanswered questions from the last book. It also leaves more unanswered questions, and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.

AAACK! Now I have to wait for the next book in this series!

After reading Milly Taiden's first book in Shifters Undercover, BEARLY IN CONTROL, I was anxious to read this next, just released, book to get some answers to my many unanswered questions. I not only got my answers, I also got a better understanding of the characters involved. But now I have new questions. (sigh) Please Milly... do not make me wait too long for the next book!

Whereas BEARLY IN CONTROL focused on Charli and Barry, FUR FOX'S SAKE focused on Devin and Mari. And the romance was just as hot with a continuation of the same intriguing plot! I love these characters and the humorous banter along with the tingly attraction as they discover they are true mates.

New information about Barry and his involvement in Klamin, military involvement, and even aliens are introduced in this second book of this series. This book has humor, suspense, intrigue, action and hot romance... very hot romance. The main plot has many, many twists and turns and will leave the reader wanting desperately to find out what is going to happen next.

This is definitely an adult book. If you're easily offended by intense language and sex in a book you may want to skip this. But if you are open to all things wild, this is a great series to follow.

Book #1 in this series definitely needs to be read before reading this one.

Read through about 40% of the book as found it filled with too many facts and varying themes that couldn't follow the storyline well.

* Note: I do not consider this book to be a stand-alone. You should read Bearly in Control, book 1 in this series, before reading this book*

Agent Devin Sonder works for the Fellowship, which seems to have been created to deal with Paranormal crimes/issues. While investigating the death a Senator and an unknown type of shifter, he meets his mate...which he never thought would happen. Marika Paters is a scientist and geneticist working with Fish and Wildlife. She gets called on when the Fellowship needs help identifying something unknown. She's beyond excited to meet her mate in Devin. Now the two need to work together to find the Senators killer and figure out the shifter Devin found...all without getting captured, or killed themselves.

Although I liked this story more than the first one in the series and understand where the author is going with it, I'm still not loving the series as a whole.

*I received a copy of this book from the Publisher via NetGalley. I have not been compensated and my opinions are honest and my own.
