This was my first read in this series, but I really liked it. Perhaps there were things I was missing from the previous books, but I honestly did not feel lost or out of the loop. I felt like I was able to jump into the story well. And I liked the progression of what was happening, the suspense of the theft they were trying to uncover, and the nuances of the relationship dynamics. Edward and Molly were intriguing and I enjoyed the build-up of their relationship. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series.

Ed & Molly's story is so much more❤ it's love, drama, epic Truths, kinship, bond... The Intensity & Stakes had never been higher before..
I was chanting omg-omg throughout the story, yes! That fantastic😍


We know them from previous books, but they'd met eachother in Lilah & Gavin's marriage.

Edward have always hated cities (especially Boston), tragedy had struck. His beloved had died. BUT that's where Molly lived.

They had only shared a kiss but his heart Beat for her. The One.
Their lives have been far apart.

Until, 6 weeks later, she'd come to him, in Montana, for work as Eva's assistant. But the reason was unknown to her.

Not to Ed. Gavin's lab had been working on a serum to control shifter genes. Someone stole it, A big problem for shifter world.
Molly's in b/w of it all as unbeknownst to her blood was used for serum..

A shifter gathering was held due to this. All along, Ed & Molly falling for eachother. Ed knew he had to protect her.
He was torn b/w telling her or heeding Asher's warning.

Molly was so confused.. no one told her what's happening, when she came to know about it by Lilah, the betrayal by Ed burned deep. She fled, with Lilah (Lilah's pregnant! Omg😘) & Jess❤

This Trio is a force of nature! Burning for the truth, they marched to Dr.Sam, creator of the serum. Many truths were revealed, trio's unknown relation, origin & reality.

This was my fav part!
i was so giddy😍


As soon they found out, all Stanton siblings rushed to Boston. We see Asher's Gentle side, it was refreshing (I'm really excited for his book!).

Even after reuniting, danger didn't subside. Came full force as betrayal from own kind.

Asher hears the beat, Molly's kidnapped, Ed's frantic, A monster created by serum, a full fledged fight, Asher almost dying, Jess's powers. This story packs a big punch!


With the sweet promise of Molly & Edward HEA❤
But the danger to shifter world has just started..


P.s. After how it ended, I'm so excited & ready for Asher to fall in love! Grabbing Zach's book immediately, so many unknowns😍..

Edward's Second Chance - Molly

This was the third in the Billionaire Shifters Club. Even though the books are supposedly stand-alones, this was almost a cliffhanger.

There were many questions left unanswered which may require reading the entire series. To have a complete understanding of what's going on, it's really necessary to have read the previous books. Otherwise, you're left confused and not really interested in reading other books in the series.

My favorite of the series so far, and a total redemption from the last book, which I had to dnf. It's not perfect, but I liked the relationship between Edward and Molly, as well as the characters themselves. I don't think this is as good a standalone, since it really helps to know the earlier couples and how they factor into this story, but since I am familiar with the overarching storyline, I enjoyed it. If you're into billionaire/shifter roms, you may enjoy this.

Edward has made his way to the forefront. We get his story and what had him so closed off. We see why he is so fierce and protective. With this installment we get Edward in that fierce protective mode. We get to see him stand up for the odd woman out, Molly. We get to see him protect his family and that one, Molly. Molly has been around for a long time and Edward finds that he was feeling drawn to her. Of course this happens for a reasons. This tale of Molly and Edward has intrigue, mystery, danger and the ‘beat’. There are revelations. The Stanton siblings provide you with more than just the run of the mill shifter romance read. You make a deeper connection to this family and the club.

This series has taken us on a journey of three of the five family siblings and each one has its own impact and draw. Diana Seere has the writing force of two strong writers making their mark. I will follow this series to its conclusion and love it all the way. I have two of the most elusive of the family still hang out there for their HEA.

Oh my what a wild and sexy adventure. Edward and Molly were hinted at in the last book and their journey so does not disappoint. Danger, suspense and conspiracy took complete hold of my attention (missed lunch, burned dinner all that good stuff) I could not put it down. Molly is so perfect for the Ultra Broody Edward that you just know they need to be together. The best part is the story reads so well you don't need to read book 1 & 2 to understand and enjoy this one. (although they were both awesome) Looking forward to the next story from these awesome story tellers.

Good, you should read but.......

The hero experienced a tragedy that makes him want to deny his attraction to heroine. He finally gets his act together only to realize she is in danger and has been kept in the dark about it by his family. Of course, the heroine finds out and they have to work through it all to make their relationship work. Oh, and don't forget he's a shifter! And a billionaire, which oddly don't really have that much to do with their relationship, just is part of the ongoing storyline in the series.
The storyline is interesting and I do like that the male is not a man whore. I appreciate the heroine's sexual self confidence, too. I like these two characters for each other and their love story is good. However, I think this book has A LOT going on and is difficult to follow if you haven't read the others in the series. I have read some of the other books, but not all and still felt a bit lost some times. Discovering I needed to go back reread paragraphs to see if I missed anything. I also could have done without all the sexism. The sexism and the way the shifters treat humans and their women make me not like most of the male characters in this book. The outbursts by the sister seemed forced and odd too. If I had not read about some of these characters in the other books I would not like them or want to know more about them. There is also a ton of dramatic tension and almost no lighter moments in this book making it a heavy read. I would recommend this book. It does have an interesting story but know that if you don't like the Stantons at the end try to read at least one other book in the series to see if that changes your mind.

Edward and Molly’s story is EVERYTHING you could want from a shifter romance. Okay, let’s get into it. Molly has been a recurring side character throughout this series. She’s fun and kind. Deep and giving. She’s basically amazing. And Edward has been shy, anxious and so loyal. Basically my two favorite characters mashed together as fated mates.

Edward really shows up in this book. He grows. He protects. And yeah he had to outgrow Asher. Who was a total dick (obviously) for most of the book. I’m so glad I got to read Edward’s story. He’s somehow possessive but also a total cinnamon roll. He’s a fabulous book crush. Both sensitive but brave. Emotional and strong. He’s the type of partner Molly deserves. Except for that one fuck up we won’t talk about.

Did I mention the back story?? There actually was one that wasn’t centered around angst. You get to see Molly and Edward fighting actual adversity outside of any relationship issues. Lilah also made up for how she was portrayed in her sisters book. She’s back to being the total bad ass I loved in her story. And Jess and Derry are so cute. Genuinely seeing them in contrast to the other couples is hilarious.

I also fell in love with Sophia. She was full on sisterhood in this book. She was loyal and vocal. She stood up for what she believed in. I can’t wait to read her story!

Basically this is shifter, fated mate, curvy heroine pure gold. Also the hero hasn’t smashed in 10 years. You bet the spice scenes are perfect smut. I will read this again and again. She unbelievably good.

Sometimes Love is Sweeter the Second Time Around

Although this book is a standalone, I now want to go back and read the first two books of the series b/c I loved it that much. This is the first time reading anything by this author, but the other books in the series are already on my TBR list! Edward is a sexy billionaire shifter from one of the oldest shifter families (and the baby of the family). He lost his first love tragically and has refrained from putting himself in any position to meet another until he meets Molly by chance and cannot deny his attraction to the human, or so they all thought. Edward tries to deny his feelings, but when they are thrown together because something important gets stolen and Molly’s life is in danger, he will not be able to deny those feelings anymore. Molly definitely puts the spice and sass back in his life-LOL. But, unless they can control the threat and retrieve the stolen item will they ever be able to have their HEA? I definitely recommend giving this author and this series a chance and one-click this book!

Wow I’m loving this series, and the Stanton’s. Edward is the baby of the family and from the previous books we know he lost his love 10 years ago, he’s closed himself off and chose to remain celibate, but meeting Molly has changed something. Molly has lost all capability to reach her pleasure and she can’t understand why, until Lilah points out the time frame and Molly realises it was the exact time she shared a powerful kiss with Edward Stanton. What happens when work and a sudden theft draws all the families together, placing Molly in the middle? What truths will be revealed and loves shared?
Great story, plot, characters. Major angst, lots of twists, and turns. We get to see the whole family come together again under very different circumstances and loyalties divided. Lots of sweet loving moments, some very hot sexy moments, and some seriously difficult moments. This series continues from one book to the next, I have skipped #4 however as it goes off the Stanton’s and I’ve chosen to see how their story finishes.

This book is evil!

I thought, at 11 pm I start this book, read a couple of chapters then call it a night. It is now 4:39 am, said book now finished as I seriously, in all honesty, COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!!!!!!! It sucked me in from the very beginning; I just had to finish Edward and Molly's story! I can tell you that I have not read book one and two in the series, but it was actually okay because although everyone is in each story, the primary focus is on that book's particular couple. Am I going to go back and read one and two? Absolutely, after I finish book four, Sophia and Zach's story because Sophie is a bear shifter, similar to a wild female bear, Sophie feels the variety in men is best, why settle for one? Except, Zach, a made wolf shifter (have to read the book :) makes Sophie feel the ancient mate beat and before when he was a human, was the only male ever to turn her advances down. Having stayed up way too late for a workday (up in 3 hours), this book, this series is a no brainer. Just WOW!!

This was a very satisfying third installment in the Billionaire Shifters Club series. The male love interest is a different kind of person from the first two—and actually the female lead is a bit different from the first two as well. These authors have done a great job of creating a variety of characters—there should be something for everyone in this series.

Even better: the plot in this installment is really interesting. It moves forward quite a bit and many surprising things are revealed—about the families, the work they do, their relationships to each other, etc. An interesting bad guy makes a dramatic reappearance. It's really fun and I had a hard time putting it down! (Okay let's be honest—I really didn't put it down, ha ha.)

Anyway, I'd recommend it to anyone who likes shifters, paranormal, supernatural, etc.

I loved the 3rd book in this series.
Not as smut heavy as the 1st two, but leaning more into the world around them and adding some mysterie - higher stakes - make for an enjoyable read.

I liked that Molly and Edward seemed to have a much healthier relationship development than the couples of the 1st book. Yes, they're also fated mates, but in a way, it felt like a healthier relationship to me because Molly seems to be a bit more established in the way that she doesn't necessarily needs this family's money. And it was refreshing to see a couple not instantly jumping eachothers bones within hours of the 1st "beat" connection, but that they both have a longer period of time apart to let these feelings settle in before they jump into this.
Edward and Molly also seem to have a healthier communication and conflict handling style than the couples from the 1st two books.

This series just gets hotter and more intriguing with each book. Take your same ole love story - boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, girl falls for boy, boy shifts in to a mountain lion - and times that by about a million to get the 'beat' of this love story. I love the characters in this tale and the way they manage to continue the stories of the characters surrounding them to keep the underlying tale threading through and keeping the reader up to date on other relationships. I'm so excited to see where 'the beat' will take us next. I feel it's going to be hard to beat this one with the layers of intrigue.
I highly recommend this book, however should be read after the first two of the Billionaire Shifter series.

The Billionaire Shifter's Second Chance by Diana Seere is book Three in the Billionaire Shifters Club series. This is the story of Molly Sloan and Edward Stanton. I have read the previous books, but feel you can make this a standalone book if you want to do so.
Edward lost his fiancée in a violent attach that has lead himself to cut off his emotions although he still has relationships with his family, Edward has chosen to work as a wild-land firefighter that keeps him somewhat isolated and busy. But when he meets Molly his feelings for her make it impossible to stay away from her.
Another great book by Ms. Seere.

The series of paranormal love with human mates combined with familial conflict paired with shifter international politics and societal changes is great!. In this book, however, there’s so many details that can lost if you’re not familiar with the Stanton family… clues abound but you must read carefully to catch them. While the emotions leap off the pages, the reasons for the various emotions are based in the past and it’s hard to catch those reasons if you aren’t familiar with the series. Diana Seere’s writing is excellent, but this particular book is a bit too jumbled for me to enjoy smooth reading, which is why I rated it only 4 stars.

Hunky Billionaires, well that can't go wrong can it. Decent world building, nice if at times flat characters. The characters could use better back stories to introduce them except of course for the villains. Overall I like it and am looking forward to the next. It does need a smidge of editing as there are several paragraphs were the same information is basically repeated with different words, that is boring for a reader especially one with a good memory. It is fine to every now and then throughout a book remind the reader but not so close together. The story flowed well and is from a single perspective with lots of decent action. Thumbs Up.

WOW!! I could not put this book down. This series gets better with every book and I can not wait for the next one. Finally Molly and Edward get their time for the happiness they both thought had passed them by forever. There are a lot of twists and turns and of course denial of true feelings but you can't deny the ONE when it finds you. We not only get to see the couple find each other we also get to see all of the Stanton's come together in a true time of need. This is a must read do not pass it up.

Edward Stanton and Molly

A different view of shifters and humans. The shifter knows he has met his One (fated mate) when they both Edward is the youngest brother and ten years previously he had been engaged to the daughter of one of the other power family l dies of shifters and she was murdered. One of Edward's older brothers, Gavin, runs a bio lab and Molly is a human who voluntarily donates her blood, thinking she is helping children. There are many twists and turns, but they lead to a happy ending. I am looking for books about the other brothers.

Whew hot

Edward is a mountain lion shifter and very very rich. His fiancée was killed by a serial killer ten years ago and he hasn’t been with a woman since. Molly is human and works for a club for the wealthy. When it’s discovered that her blood is special, they must protect her from evil people. Edward swears to never love again but he realizes Molly is the One. Can they find out who stood her blood that was made into a serum?
Great story with action and sex. This is the first book I have read by this author and it was smoking hot.

Better and better

I really am enjoying reading this series. The stories just improve with each book, as do the strength and depth of all the characters. It reads like your watching a mini series, except each book does end with the main characters story being told there are still cliffhangers as to the underlining theme of each book. This is first reads from this author and I really like her writing style. I highly recommend the book, but even more so when you read the series from the beginning with the first book.

Edward is tormented by his past and an event from ten years ago. Molly enjoys working at the club but never imagined to fall for a billionaire. She never expected her life to be involved in the secrets hidden within the club. Their chemistry is off the charts and the connection they form is amazing. Book three illuminates more of the mystery of the shifters and their mates. A story full of love, passion, connection, suspense, and a villain or two. A great addition to the series!

I’ve been reading the books in the series. I thought 1 was good, 2 really annoyed me and this one (3) just made me give up all together. Too much unnecessary dialogue making the books longer than they need to be. I like books with strong characters and I felt the women in these books were not it. The men were supposed to be alpha billionaires and cultures but instead came off foolish and immature.

It's the first book I read of this author and what can I say - I'm literally blown away. Although it's mit the first book in the series, I guess I need to read the rest of them. Edward has so much pain inside and punisches himself for the death of his belove fiancé so many years back that Molly is not only a wonderful distraction but is just the One that will get him out of his misery... A very strong story with great characters. Amazing.

Heart be still!

When Edward met Molly his whole out look on life changed with just the touch of her hand. Edward who lost his first love at the hands of a murderer had no interest in anything or anyone for 10years. All of a sudden here is Molly and what he called the Beat happned. He had to have her, protect her. Molly was just attracted to him. Oh but the secrets that surrounds Molly leads to great adventures and a red hot read
