Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by Jenika Snow
They didn’t care who got me pregnant… just that one of them did.
The first time I saw the beasts, I’d wandered off and gotten lost. But I hadn't been alone. Not the entire time.
I’d been found, just not by something that was human.
Bear-beasts. They were myths whispered amongst the villagers and that parents told their children before bed to keep them inside, to make them fearful of what lurked in the dark.
Seven-foot-tall creatures covered in fur, with sharp claws, fangs, and the strength of a hundred men.
But the creature kept me safe and led me out of the woods.
I never saw it again, but I felt it—no, I felt them—watching me.
Following me.
Stalking me.
They waited for me all these years. Protected and provided for me, even when I hadn’t realized it.
Now, I was on my own, and not one but three primal beasts had come for me. And what they wanted was simple:
To make me theirs in any way they saw fit.
I was Goldie, and these were now my three bears.
Listener note: A Goldie Locks and the Three Bears reimagining. This is a monster romance featuring a human/nonhuman MFMM relationship and HEA.

Nonetheless, I was pleasantly surprised with how much the three main love interests—Bear, Bruin, and Ursid—were with Goldie. Very protective yet loving and wanting the best for her. (Yes, the two...

I enjoyed this story about Goldie (human woman) and Bear, Bruin and Ursid (humanoid bear creatures). They were all likeable. This was a take on the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. They first met when Goldie was very young and got lost in the woods. They found her and Bruin went up to her, held out his hand, she took it and he took her home (the other two remained hidden but she saw them after she got home). The three MMCs were brothers and this is a MFMM story. They met Goldie again after...

Now that time has come. There is chemistry, there is spice and the bears are ready for their mate. They just need for her to agree.
