* 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.

After reading and loving Bunny and the Bear I really wanted to love this book. The title was attention grabbing and the cover fit the blurb so perfectly. What I love the way Milly Taiden writes her shifter characters so well. The h, Marika is a fox shifter, an exuberant, hyper, always-happy, smiles as bright as the sun, fun loving fur ball. I loved her character! Her panther mate, Devin was a cute guy, he was on the more serious side but he complimented his h and he was such a sweetie when it came to Marika.

What made me disconnect with the story was the subplot. The mad scientist/villain POV plus Marika and Devin's separate but connected investigations sometimes gave me an overload of information that slowed the pace of the story for me. It felt like too much going on in a short amount of time.

I would suggest reading this series in order, I did have to play catch up and piece together parts that happened in the previous book and this definitely ended in a cliffhanger.

Very Intriguing, Sexy, Dangerous, Action Packed, Thrilling Mystery of a Opposites Attract Paranormal Romance. The excitement and danger draw you into this world where few know about shifters and are fighting to protect the world.

Devin Sonder is so broody and sad (with good reason) he is in need of so many things in life it is crazy to think one little fox can change things for him in such a profound way. Marika Paters is bubbly and sweet as well as wicked smart and exactly the shifter Devin needs to heal his wounded heart. These two are so realistic and relatable you find yourself drawn in to their journey and rooting for their HEA. Overall a very entertaining read that I did not want to put down. Looking forward to the next adventure in this world.

What a fun book! I wish I had read the previous book to have some questions answered, but didn't feel like it took away from the enjoyment of it.

I giggled throughout the book and I love the authors voice. Very fast paced, while not feeling rushed.

Lots of chemistry between the hero and heroine. Really enjoyed the differences between the two of them and watching a neat freak get used to "organized chaos".

I was very happy to see book 2 in the Shifters Undercover series finally become available on Netgalley.
It is a wonderful continuation of Barry's story as well as having Agent Devlin Sonders find his mate, Marika. As they continue their search for the fiendish scientist who is exploiting and genetically modifying shifters they help Barry restore his memory and it's not good for him to remember what he was. Again, Ms Taiden leaves you hanging and eagerly awaiting book 3. She's a master at hooking her readers. Shifter fans rejoice, this writer will make you happy.

Not only does Fur Fox's Sake have one of the best names ever, but it is also an amazing story as well! All title-admiring aside, after loving Bearly in Control, I couldn't wait to read this one and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Fur Fox's Sake was even better and I loved it just as much!

I always write about my favorite character for last and that's usually the hero, but honestly Marika was so awesome that that spot has to go to her! That doesn't mean that I didn't love Devin though, because I did. He has his moments that will make you shake your head at him, but it comes from if not a good place, then at least a place where you can understand why he is the way he is. It's a small part and Devin really is wonderful. He's sweet and protective and willing to do anything for Marika. Devin's a marshmallow with her and I loved him for it and much more!

I loved Marika from the moment I met her in Bearly in Control and I was hoping she would get her own book and now that she has, I couldn't be happier! Marika is so fun and playful and quirky. She's a little bit of a mess, but in a good way. She's just so bubbly and full of life and energy that she vibrates with it. Not only does Marika have an great attitude, but she's also a total bada*s and can totally take care of herself. I won't say more than that because I don't want to spoil anything, but just know that's she's "foxing" fantastic and I "foxing" loved her!

I was excited to see where Fur Fox's Sake would take us after Bearly in Control and boy, did it take us places! It was suspenseful and fascinating and I want to know all the secrets that we have yet to discover. It was really insta-lovey and low in angst and didn't focus a ton on Devin and Marika's relationship, but the storyline is just so interesting that I didn't need all the relationship stuff. Of course, that doesn't mean that I didn't love the steamy, lovey parts, because I did. Fur Fox's Sake was a total home run and I'm even more excited to read the next book!

I would recommend reading Fur Fox's Sake after Bearly in Control, but you could get away with reading this one first. It's told from multiple points of view and although Devin and Marika are together, the ending will definitely leave you wanting more!

Fans of Milly Taiden will welcome this newest addition to the series. We get to catch-up with Charli and Barry-we find out that really is NOT his name-and watch Marki and Devin find each other. This one does end in a cliffhanger and feels like it should be more chapters in a larger book than a stand-a-lone; so, forewarned and all that.

Fur Fox's Sake is the second in the series and you'll want to read the first one before this one. WE pick up where the first one ends but this time we are with Devin and Marika. However we get a little more to the Charli and Barry's story along with Russel and Detective Gibbons, and of course our bad guy Klamin.

Created shifters, finding mates, discovering military secrets, and end world chaos. It is fast paced and you just wont be able to put it down. It was a really good book and I enjoyed reading it.

Devin Sonder is a Fellowship Agent on a case when he meets his mate, Marika Paters. Marika is a research scientist who works for the Fish and Wildlife Service. They meet when she is brought in to help on his case. This is a strange case involving aliens and really strange shifters. It’s a really good book with several things happening that keeps your interest involved. I enjoyed reading it and can’t wait for the next book in the series to find out more about the storyline. This is part of an ongoing story line but you can still understand what’s happening. I received a copy from Net galley in exchange for an honest review.

Short and sweet. I have always liked Milly Taiden books.

Devin is a panther shifter and has looked long and hard for his mate. He is investigating the death of a senator and a very big wolf. The body of the wolf is taken to Dr. Marika. She works for fish and wildlife and is a fox shifter.
When they see each other they both know they have found the mate they've been looking for. Devin is scared to mate her because he lost his adopted sister and nephew. But he soon finds out Marika can definitely take care of herself.

While they're searching for a killer, Marika discovers the dead wolf was practically bulletproof. Charli and Barry find out some shocking news. Russell is trying to take it slow with his mate, Tama, the police officer.

Wow!! Incredible story. Suspense and a little cliffhanger. Sex. Panthers, fox, bears, and multi shifter oh my.

I am giving this story a four but it is more like a 3 1/2 for me, not because the storyline and writing aren't good but because there is no resolution at the end. Barry finds out he is Perry and about his past. In the end he goes back to Klamin and the story ends with Klamin welcoming him back. The End. Obviously more about that storyline will be in the next book. Devlin and Marika are captured and manage to escape their cell but their story ends there as well. We won't know how they get out of the building until the next book. Right now the book ends with them in the hallway deciding which way to go. I understanding having a continuous storyline throughout the series, it was like the book just abruptly ended and you were left wondering if part of the book is missing.

I'm so glad to be back in this world! I really enjoyed book with with Charli and Barry and they make a welcome return in this book.

Devin is a panther shifter and a new recruit after facing a horrific personal lost. His cat wants its mate and he is trying but lately random females don't scratch his itch - he wants THE ONE. When a new case leads him towards a certain chaotic whirlwind, his life will never be the same.

Enter Marika. Best friend of Charli and messiest person on the planet! She and Dev get mixed up in the investigation, all whilst trying to claim each other and get to know each other! There are some truly funny moments between them and as per usual the passion runs hot! Charlie and Barry face ghosts from his past and there is a cliffhanger at the end so I'm now on tenterhooks to find out what happens next!!!!

Book two in the Shifter Undercover series, Fur Fox's Sake was..okay. The plot takes a turn for the strange-aliens messing with human and shifter DNA-but surprisingly, there's little focus on Devin and Marika's romance.

I normally enjoy Taiden's books, but after disappointing reads of the first two books, I won't be continuing this series.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from the publisher via NetGalley.

Fur Fox's Sake is the second book in the Shifter Undercover series. If you haven’t read Bearly In Control to best enjoy this book I would suggest you go back and read it before reading this one. I enjoyed Devin the sexy panther shifter & Marika from the FAWS lab. This is a sexy, sassy series and if you love paranormal romance give this series a go you will enjoy the read. I look forward to reading more

HOLLY EFFIN COW! This book was off the hook awesome! I loved it. The mystery there drew me in and I was hooked. Ok so, before you read this book you must must must read Bearly in Control. Why? Because this one picks up where it leaves off and if you do not read it first you will be lost on parts of it. There were hilarious parts, parts that left me screaming oh yes and one of those was the kick tail cliffhanger. I am ready for the third book in the series.
Devin feels he is damaged goods, that he is not good for any woman so it is Marika's mission to change that and oh how she does it left me cheering her on. She is a strong willed woman and that is what it takes to tame Devin. If you want heat, mistery, and comedy, then this book is for you.
