Featured Series - Banford and Beauty Bears - Mina Carter



What better way to send out 2019 then with our last Featured Series of the year.  At the moment, there are only four books in this amazing series, but I am hopeful the author won’t leave us hanging and will write at least two more. 

The first two books are re-releases of Bear Up and Creed’s Claim from Kindle Worlds More than Mated collection.  Yes, I totally own all four books, well six books total.  Hey once you read them you will be able to see why, they are just that good.  The third and fourth books just continued the hot beary goodness enriching the series and making me crave more. 

You guys are not going to miss out on this fantastic series.  Click on any of the pictures or links below to get started reading before the end of the year.

Happy Reading

Fated for the Bear (Banford and Beauty Bears book 1)
Published to Amazon on November 15, 2018
Author Mina Carter




Girl meets boy = classic love story. Girl meets bear... Wait, what?
Kacie has always known there was something odd about the small town of Beauty, but she doesn't expect that oddity to almost claim her life or land her in the arms of her long-term crush; hot veteran Dean. Okay, he's nuts but she can't argue with that, not with a body like his or when he's whispering things like 'fated' and 'destiny'. Even if he does claim to be a werebear...

She's his mate, but she's human. He's so screwed...

Leader of the Beauty bear clan, Dean is between a rock and a hard place. His fated mate is human but he daren't claim her. The elitist asshats in the clan would have kittens. But when an attack brings her over into the bear world, he's out of time and out of options. Even worse, the town has an rogue bear problem and internal clan politics that put Kacie in the crossfire.

Forced to fight battles on all fronts, Dean must bear up or risk losing her forever...

PLEASE NOTE: This title was previously released as 'BEAR UP' in the More than Mated Kindleworld

Forced to claim his fate
I love the changes the author made to this book. They are barely noticeable and hardly change the story. It’s a shame these two had to go so long before they laid their claim on each other. The author get the story going with all the action and adventure we’ve been looking for while bringing the romance along for the ride. I love this book and am excited about the next one.

Claimed by the Bear (Banford and Beauty Bears book 2)
Published to Amazon on December 27, 2018
Author Mina Carter




Tall, dark and handsome, she’s watched him from afar for years...

Back in Beauty after a broken engagement, Kaitlyn Turner has two things on her mind: regaining her independence and having a good night out with her bestie. Only somehow, their celebrations include hitting up the local tattoo parlour. The Tattoo parlour run by Creed, her late brothers best friend. Hot as Hades, he’s the one man she knows she can’t have, but the one she’d kill to have look at her as more than a kid sister.

Petite, curvy, beautiful…and human. She’s everything he wants, and everything he can’t have.

Werebear Creed is a loner in the Beauty bear clan. Tall, powerfully built, and mean as hell, he holds rank as an enforcer despite the fact his bear prefers to stay well hidden. No matter, he can enforce pack rules in human form… even against fully shifted bears. They might call him a half-skin but no one wants to piss him off. Ever.

He doesn’t care what they think. Until Kaitlyn Turner walks back into town. He’s wanted her for years, but she’s human and he’s a bear. No can do. But then an attack brings her over into his world and the path is clear.

PLEASE NOTE: This title was previously released as 'CREED'S CLAIM' in the More than Mated Kindleworld.




Official published review:
Three make one
This book may be short, but the author used it to her full advantage and wrapped up the excitement that carried through from the first book. This couple needed the danger to push them into finally making their move toward a HEA we would all wish for. I hope the author has more books headed our way, I would love to see Lily find her own story as well as the healer from the first book.

For Shift’s Sake (Banford and Beauty Bears book 3)
Published to Amazon on December 1, 2015
Author Mina Carter




Bobbi Bradbury has man trouble. Local bully boy, Conrad Jackson, has decided she's his Miss. Right but as far as she's concerned, he couldn't be more Mr.Wrong. Unfortunately, he's not taking no for an answer. The charm offensive is over and it seems he's looking to take what he wants, no matter her thoughts on the matter.

Reese Connor is out of the army and on his way to Vegas. The open road, no bullets flying past his head...it's all this scarred and weary werebear wants. Until his old buddy calls in a favour. Operation: protection. His buddy's little sister is in some kind of trouble. Fine. He'll check in and bust a few heads then carry on his merry way...

But the path to Vegas never runs smoothly and Reese finds himself between the devil and the deep blue sea. His buddy's little sister is less sweet and innocent and more sexy and seriously curved. And his mate.

The kicker? She doesn't know about werebears. The second kicker? His buddy'll kill him for touching his little sister. And if that wasn't enough, someone out there is determined that he won't have Bobbi...ever. And they'll put her six feet under to stop him.




Official published review:
Bringing peace to her
This soldier found what he had stopped looking for in the most unlikely of places. I enjoyed that the author held true to the soldier brotherhood and had our hero change his plans at the call for aid. I love the strong females he found there and the connections that were made. I can’t wait to read the next book by this author.

Warlock and the Bear (Banford and Beauty Bears book 4)
Published to Amazon on October 29, 2019
Author Mina Carter




He's wanted Lilly Braun since the moment he saw her, but she won't give him the time of day.

Morgan Jones, ex-soldier and warlock extraordinaire, is hiding a secret. And it's not his awesome abilities in the sack... It's the fact he's had the hots for the Beauty Clan's head enforcer, Lilly Braun, since he met her. The chances of the luscious lady bear letting him anywhere near her though? Absolute zero. Until matestrike hits one of the other bears, and he's her only hope. The problem is... Morgan doesn't let anyone get close because his feelings for Lilly aren't the only ones he's been keeping...

Morgan Jones is an absolute son of a bedstead, and she wants nothing to do with him. But *hell* can the guy kiss...

Lilly's life plan was simple. Become a clan enforcer. Find a nice bear male to mate and have some cubs. Easy... yeah right. Her bear isn't interested in any male in the clan, apart from the warlock, Morgan Jones. Who, admittedly, is hot as hades and rocks the whole oathbreaker vibe. But when she needs a backup plan, Morgan's it, and her bear... isn't grumbling about getting all up close and personal with the sexy warlock. Until she realizes it's just fun and games for him.

But when the proverbial hits the fan and both the clan and her own life is on the line, can Lilly make a leap of faith and trust her warlock, or will they lose everything that matters?




Official published review:
Will these two finally get together I enjoyed how the characters are so reluctant to see what they really mean to each other. The author also made sure that the underlying story in the previous books pulled forward into this one with a fantastic conclusion to one set of troublemakers. It also tied book three together with the other books. Each book in this series keeps getting better and with the possibility of at least two more books, I can’t wait to see what happens next.
