Recommended Reading Order
The Fur-ocious Lust series (often listed as For-ocious Lust in some catalogs) is split into two primary volumes based on the type of shifters involved: Bears and Tigers. While each novella can be read as a standalone, reading them in publication order allows you to fully enjoy the shared backdrop of the charity bachelorette auction.
Volume One: Bears
- Fur-Bidden (2015): The series kicks off with Penelope Medina, a curvy woman who overcomes stage fright only to be bid on and won by her bear shifter ex-boyfriend, Ethan.
- Fur-Gotten (2015): Karina Roma is reunited with Ash Sinclair, a growly bear shifter who is determined to win back her heart after previously putting his career before their relationship.
- Fur-Given (2015): Julie Durante participates in the bachelorette auction, only to be purchased by her grumpy bear shifter ex, Rafe Sinclair, leading to a second chance at love.
Volume Two: Tigers
- Stripe-Tease (2015): Shifting to tiger shifters, this story introduces Vanessa Soler, a seamstress who is bet in a poker game by her father and finds herself won by Cash Tigris.
- Stripe-Search (2015): Curved dancer Gabriella Cantur wants nothing to do with romance, but she is pursued by tiger shifter Slade Tigris after her brother gets into trouble.
Compilation Volumes and Box Sets
If you prefer to read the series in collected editions rather than purchasing the individual short novellas, they have been compiled into two official volumes:
- Bears (Fur-ocious Lust, Volume One): Collects Fur-Bidden, Fur-Gotten, and Fur-Given.
- Tigers (Fur-ocious Lust, Volume Two): Collects Stripe-Tease and Stripe-Search.
What to Know Before You Start

- Body Positivity: The series features confident, voluptuous, and curve-loving heroines who are unapologetic about their bodies.
- Fated Mates and Second Chances: A recurring theme in the Bears volume is second-chance romance, where estranged lovers reunite under the high-stakes pressure of a charity auction.
- Quick, Steamy Reads: These are fast-paced novellas rather than full-length novels, making them perfect for readers looking for quick, high-heat, and humorous paranormal escapes.
