"I could almost feel the emotion these two wrought on each other. It was as if I was in the
rooms watching the story unfold instead of reading it. This is a wonderful series; I can't
wait for the next book!"
Joyfully Reviewed (Indy)
"The brilliance in this world of shifters, the intricate way they lived and loved made for a
story that was actually pretty mind blowing. KarRa and Rylan’s relationship isn’t a pretty
one; it’s rife with extreme situations to overcome from the darkness of the world they lived
in...you will finish anticipating the next installment of a world that is refreshingly
innovative and one I hope Mima continues to explore."
Mrs. Giggles 85/100
"...a very enjoyable and most fascinating fantasy tale ... of how one can find love amidst
such a violent and sexually-charged setting."
My Book Cravings (Coale) 5 Flowers
"Once again Mima has succeeded in a story that enthralls! Before the end of the first
chapter I was in tears. I was up all night reading, unable to put the book down simply from
wondering what would happen next. By the end I sighed in contentment. The story’s richly
detailed characters and world are a joy to behold. Wild Within captures the imagination with
the vividness of the descriptions of a world different from our own. It tugs at the heart-
strings for the trials that the characters must face to continue on their journey. It is a
definite must have for the collection, because it is a story that you will want to read time
and time again."

Romance Junkies (Sandi Potterton) 4 Blue Ribbons: I would recommend to all my friends
"BEAST WITHIN is an interesting and unusual twist on 'normal' shapeshifter themes. The plot
was fascinating and different, but Mima did a great job of making her fantasy world real and
believable. The flow of the story is just quick enough to keep you reading without being too
fast for comfort. The characters are intriguing, especially the shapeshifters as Mima has
created a new 'species' and does a great job of explaining their quirks and customs. The
story has both a futuristic and sci-fi feel to it, so should appeal to readers who do not
typically read just paranormals. The sex scenes are explicit and include ménage, toys, light
bondage and anal sex. The romance is terrific and both partners must learn to deal with
differences because of their interspecies relationship. BEAST WITHIN is touted as book one
in a series and I certainly hope Mima continues as I would love to visit this world again!"
Two Lips Reviews (Tara Renee) Three Kisses: Enjoyable
"Beast Within is the first book in the Bonded Series by Mima. This is an unusual story and
it has several wonderful parts. I loved the depth of emotion Vyur feels for Freezha and the
fact that she calls to the beast in him. ... the sexual scenes are well written and
compelling. I was not thrilled with the scene where Vyur services another woman when she
goes into her heat but Mima does an amazing job writing the scene to the point where I felt
as if I was Freezha and I felt her pain. Mima took me into the character's feelings and
thoughts. I did enjoy Beast Within and look forward to other books in this series."
Two Lips Reviews (Julianne) Four Kisses: Very Good
"I thoroughly enjoyed Beast Within and was enthralled from page one to the end."
The Romance Reader Connection (Sarah Silversmith) Rating: 3 (Good)
"It is an interesting story, and Mima definitely has a fertile imagination. The book is well
structured and well written, but I felt that it was hard to follow at times. ... As an
interesting read, with hot sex scenes, this book is a hit..."
Just Erotic Romance Reviews (Francesca Hayne) Rating: 4 (engrossing and arousing) Heat Level O
"I ... fell in love with the story. Vyur is very animal-like and is rawer than many of the
characters I've come across. ...reading these sex scenes were amazingly hot. They were raw,
almost bestial, and both Vyur and Freezha were always ready to try something new. From toy
play to anal sex, to voyeurism and ménage practices, just about every intensely carnal sexual
scenario occurs. The emotional background that supports Freezha's introduction to these
sexual practices is well-written. I believed her fears and felt her anger at certain
scenarios that included Vyur. I had to like her because she thinks with her head but still
can't let her heart get around the impassioned things going on around her. Overall, I
enjoyed this highly imaginative science fiction romance."
Fallen Angel (Hayley) Rating: 3/5
"Mima has built a very interesting world where humans live alongside the not so human. ...
The struggle that Vyur faces in controlling his beast so as not to scare Freezha, and the
fear left from her injury that Freezha must overcome if she is to thrive in their
relationship plays an integral part to the plot. ... The erotic scenes were very well written
and steamy hot. Freezha is a very interesting woman in that she is strong and independent
but is willing to compromise in order to fit into a society so much different than her own.
Vyur was very touching as a warlike, aggressive, very alpha male who struggles to control his
beast in order to be with the one he loves."

"I found the story to be well written and the created world interesting to read about."
Cupid's Library Reviews (Kim) 3 Cupids
"I liked Freehza's very passionate nymph-like personality and how it complimented Vyur's
seriousness. ... With all their differences when these two characters get together and
finally mate it is raw and very amazing. ... All in all this book is not only about the sex
between Freehza and Vyur but the reader is introduced to a very interesting and different
world."

Check out this reader's quote from Vickie:
"I just finished reading the series Bonded Fantasy. I've been reading since I was 16, which
was quite a few years ago, LOL, so it's hard to find anything new or that's a little outside
the box. This series is that and so much more. Fell for those tall Lizzeed's. Yummy, hope
Kell and Evon have their own books soon. Thanks for the great reads wish I could find some
more like this. I will be waiting for the next one in the series to come out and I hope that
more people find this wonderful series. It is so worth reading not just for the smoking sex,
which is a plus though, but for getting to know these wonderful characters."
Two Lips Reviews (Julianne) 4.5 Kisses: Very Good
"What a fantastic, emotional, gripping book. Mima has outdone herself with A Bonded Fantasy:
Alpha Within. She has been able to write three separate books of exceptional quality that
have kept this reader glued to her seat. Luna is the kind of woman who is a joy to read
about. Dar is a strong hero, but he is also compassionate and humble. I love a hero like
that. Mima has a talent for creating a world full of colorful characters that is a pleasure
to read about. I have loved all three of her A Bonded Fantasy series and would strongly
encourage everyone to read them. I hope she keeps this series going; I could read a book
about each clan she has created."
Check out this reader's quote from Alyce:
"I have told EVERYONE who will listen how great your book Alpha Within was/is. It knocked me
completely on my butt and I had to sit up half the night and read it a second time. Not very
often you come across an angle on shifters that you haven’t seen before. Loved every word."

"How important is the struggle for survival? Is cheating allowed? For Jana, cheating is her
life's work. For Dar it is imperative for the survival of his clan...Mima did a fine job. I
enjoyed discovering the answers to my questions and watching the relationship develop between
Dar and Jana. If it were possible i would cheat fate as well. Life is far from perfect for
many of us so cheating under these circumstances are allowed in my book. Jana's development
as a woman is very intriguing to watch."

"Luna is a caring mage, who gave up her own life to help others with the desire for children.
Her inner turmoil added a depth to the story. I connected with her character just because of
the good in her heart that was evident in all her actions. Dar and Luna’s relationship is
fraught with tension and full of road blocks, but that only makes their pairing even more
beautiful to observe. Mima’s Bonded Fantasy series has been one to watch as she weaves a
world where shifters abound and magic is common."
Cupid's Library Reviews (Kim) 3 Cupids
"ALPHA WITHIN, the third in the Bonded Series, is a fantasy science fiction book that is full
of emotional as well as fantastic plot. This is a quick paced novel full of details and
heart-wrenching issues about survival and love. I am impressed with the level of detail MIMA
has created in the description lives of the Truxet and the Snocwcats which made this more an
interesting romance. ... I loved it when the two characters got together; they were so raw
and bestial, all I can say is "wow". I enjoyed reading all three of the A Bonded Fantasy
series and would recommend them to anyone who loves fantasy-shape-shifter-based-romances with
an edgy angle to them."

"I am still reeling from reading this book. Mima has written another fantastic book in the
world of the Beasts. Within Reach is fast paced, full of action and emotions, not to mention
the fabulous hot sex for which Mima is known. ... I was a little shocked by the outcome of
the battle, but I think it’s also what made this story so heart wrenching. ... I am so
looking forward to the next book."
Just Erotic Romance Reviews Rating: 5 Stars
"This is an emotional, powerful love story between three people. There is the erotic love
story between Amaya and Ruse and the tender caring they both share for her daughter Eledi. I
really enjoyed and was very moved by the depth of feeling the author conveys in these
developing relationships. Amaya is a strong woman who faces the reality of her situation in
a straightforward manner but has not become bitter or jaded. She recognizes the inner
integrity in Ruse and the genuine caring he shows for the two of them. She struggles to make
a decision that is best for both her and her daughter. Ruse can be a little high-handed in
making decisions for her but it is because he wants to take her away from difficult
circumstances and just love her. How could you not like a character like that? The other
supporting characters from Ruse's clan are warm and accepting of Amaya and Eledi and make you
wish you could be part of that clan. The sex scenes are both tender and erotic and are well
detailed and varied. They include anal, a ménage and some public sex. If you enjoy a very
emotionally moving love story, I think you will find Within Reach well worth your time."
My Book Cravings (Robin Smith) 5 Flowers
"This is a story so full of life it draws you in. It is a poignant tale of life, loss, love,
family and hope. It shows the trials of a true family through pain and sorrow to acceptance
and a love that is so strong it lifts you up. I love a story that can make you smile or cry
with and for the characters, and this was beyond anything I expected. The vivid descriptive
powers of Mima make a world of fantasy come to life and allow you to enjoy the journey she
takes you on. My only complaint on this is that the journey through Ruse and Amaya’s time
wasn’t longer! I thoroughly enjoyed the hilly rollercoaster ride of emotions that this tale
evokes and highly recommend it for anyone who wants to be swept away into another world!"
