It’s a danger filled love story that combines their strengths into a strong bond and the realization that she is their center. It’s a very good tale that will suck you in and keep you invested. Absolutely loved it! ?
This is a fairly new author for me; I am addicted. This story is such an intriguing read with some unexpected twists. It is the first in the "Elite Shifter Enforcers" series and captures the readers attention from the action pact beginning. The story is about Elara and her mates Victor and Ivan. She escapes and is on the run. She runs to the only one she can think of which leads her to the Elite Shifter Enforcers’. When Victor and James hear her voice they know who she is to them. I enjoyed this story from the very beginning. I love the fierce protectors along with the banter between the team. Such a good read! I cannot wait for the next story.
This is a short read. This is Elara, Victor and Ivan’s story She is a researcher that a group called Chimera wants dead. She escapes and goes to a friends home and finds out there is more in this world. The bears want her and will do anything to keep her safe. What is Chimera really doing? Can they stop them? Can they keep Elara safe? What will Elara do to help them? Not to wait for the next book to see what happens.
Commanded by the Bears is a powerful start to the Elite Shifter Enforcers series. Maia Dylan delivers intense chemistry, dominant bear shifters, and a heroine who finds herself at the center of something far bigger than she expected. The bear shifter heroes are commanding, protective, and unapologetically alpha — yet each has distinct traits that keep their personalities from blending together. Their loyalty and devotion create a strong emotional undercurrent beneath the heat, making the romance feel grounded rather than purely instinctual. The pacing keeps the story engaging, balancing action, suspense, and steamy tension. The enforcer dynamic adds a layer of structure and danger to the world-building, making this more than just a romance — it feels like the beginning of a larger, exciting shifter universe. I’d recommend this to readers who love reverse harem dynamics, powerful shifter heroes, protective instincts, and high-heat paranormal romance. If you enjoy strong alpha energy combined with loyalty and intensity, this book absolutely delivers. An addictive series opener that leaves you eager for the next installment.
This is the first book I've ready by this author and I loved the combo of a gal in science (brainy ;P) and the brawn of two hot bear shifters. Elara is on the run after her lab is attacked by armed soldiers and she's informed by a dying scientist that the infamous 'they' are blaming her and aim to end her, permanently. She reaches out to an old friend and ends up with more help than she knew. The Elite Shifter Enforcers are ready to help expose the dirty deeds the lab was doing with Victor and Ivan assigned to get to the bottom of her case. They are more than ready to step up as she's their fated mate... Expect to get caught up in the betrayal, drama, action, connection, humour and hot chemistry as they work their way to a fab HEA. Good fun!
Commanded By The Bears is book 1 in the Elite Shifter Enforcers series. This book is more than a shifter romance about a two bears finding their mate. It combines suspense and danger through the mysterious Chimera. It looks like the storyline will develop and continue through the other books in the series. I'm looking forward to reading more.
What a wild ride. Elara was on the run after her research was stolen and lab blown up. She was being hunted. Victor and Ivan of the Elite Shifter Enforcers need to keep her safe and stop the Chimera. She's also their fated mate. Enjoyed this story.
Play. Set. Match Love a story that keeps you engaged. Maia brings together brain and brawn. Full of action and consequences. Quick chemistry that doesnt take from the goings on. Things that are going? Explosions, an elite force, a runaway and science, and things that learn. Emotions are on a Rollercoaster. The heat was okay, could have been a lil Spicer but the story carried well. Loved it all.
Part of the Elite Shifter Enforcers series. Elara and twin beat shifters, Victor and Ivan have to solve a major problem before they can concentrate on their relationship. Can't wait for the next book. This is a must-read.
The story immediately captivates you, drawing you in from the very first page. The author's meticulous attention to detail transports the reader into the narrative, making them feel like an active participant. This is definitely not your typical shifter romance; it's a fresh and engaging read.
This is Book 1 of the Elite Shifter Enforcers series. And a FANrastic start it is! Look forward to more from this world. 'Once a Bear claims what’s theirs, there is no escape—only surrender.' The characters were very complex and complicated and perfectly steamy together. Plot was intriguing and intense and exciting and well paced. World building was excellent and impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!
Commanded by the Bears is the first book in the Elite Shifter Enforces by Maia Dylan. When Elara is framed for a leak at the facility where she worked, She is placed in the care of two Bear shifters brothers, Victor and Ivan. Realizing Elara is their mate, the brothers do whatever they can to protect the woman they love. I loved reading their story. Great book.
Elara Thorne is a scientist working on a project that thinks will help improve the health of human race. Unfortunately, one day, there is an attack in her lab and she is the only survivor. She also learns the truth about how her work is weaponized to create the perfect soldier. Love the banter between Ivan, Victor and Elara - it is love at first sight! The plot shines here - when you think Chimera plan is despicable, its scope and reach gets way more horrifying. They are 2 steps ahead of E.S.E. but underestimate the cooperation of the shifters. Maia Dylan has initiated an incredible new series and cannot wait to see where it takes us
This is a new to me author and I'm hoping to read more. Let me start by saying this is a romance/ bonded mates story, but that is second to a lot of action scenes. Elara is on the run after her lab is destroyed. She soon realizes that what she thought she was working towards, wasn't it at all and now lives are in danger. Victor and Ivan are brothers as well as bear shifters. They head the Elite Shifter Enforcers (ESE) and know that Elara is their intended. I'm looking forward to more books in this series and hoping that Rafe and Dorian will be up next.
This is a brand-new author to me, but I liked the write up for the books. I thought I would give it a go. And I’ve got to say, I really enjoyed the storyline of the Book even though I got confused with all the science at times. Elara was a scientist and her research had been used in the incorrect way. When she was going to the facility that morning it exploded and she found out she had basically had been framed for a leak. So she was on the run. Thankfully she had one person she could contact for Help and this is where her whole life changed. She met shifters and shifter Cubs that were transition from human formed to their lion cub in front of her eyes. When she explained everything to Clarissa what had happened she was put in the care of two brothers. That were bear shifters and the head of elite shifter enforces ESE. As soon as Victor and Ivan came into the room, they knew that ELara was their mate. They hadn’t felt the bond, but they knew in their bones that she was meant for them and they would protect her with their lives. And it wasn’t long until they were under attack. This was a great read I did have to reread a few pages when the science got a bit much but it’s not that much really. It just threw me. There is a strong connection between these three, they trust one another and chemistry is off the charts. Ivan and Victor were very protective of Elara but what I did like was the fact that she stood up for herself and she didn’t back down. I would definitely read more from this author. I’ve really enjoyed their writing and storytelling.
This is the first book I've read by Maia but it won't be the last. I read the blurb and thought I'd give this a try. The story grabs you from the first page and the detail in which she writes, transports you in the book and makes you feel part of it. This is not your usual shifter story. Elara, is a scientist who gets to her lab only to find it destroyed and her blamed. Now on the run, she reaches out to a friend for help. Once she arrives, she is introduced to the Elite Shifter Enforcers or E.S.E. You have to read the book to see what happens. This is a wonderful story of strength, betrayal, trust, love and overcoming the unimaginable with a surprise dose of humor. I can't wait for the next book.
I enjoyed this book overall however, I felt kind of confused through the beginning. I did not read the first book in this series and I think that would of been helpful. I like the camaraderie between the different characters and of course the scenes between Victor, Ivan, and Elara.
I like Elara. She has guts and determination, fantastically good fortune, and the knowledge to know when to remove herself from the situation. Her work was used in an unconscionable manner, but she regrouped, found herself allies and attacked those responsible. Throughout it all, she managed to allow softer emotions to come forth and fall in love with 2 bears who will command her heart.
