Male shifter x female human / shifter recs

I'm new to paranormal romance. (I usually read high fantasy romance). But I love shifters, and there's honestly not many in high fantasy tbh, besides dragon shifters.

I have Bride and Mate already on my TBR, but I want to know what else is out there. I've tried searching on romance.io but the "werewolves" tag isn't specific enough, since a book could technically *have* werewolves in it but neither the fmc or mmc is one themselves. So it makes a lot to sort through.

I'm looking for shifter mmc, i.e. werewolf or other, and the fmc is either human, or a shifter as well. If she is human, she needs to either become a shifter by the end of the book, or atleast, have her life extended to match the mmc. Needs to be spice level of 3 or higher.

Things I don't like:

- absolutely no non/con, or consenual non con. I can tolerate a little bit of dub con, but would rather avoid that as well. If the mmc attempts something like this I want the FMC to immediately put him in his place.

- no rejected mate trope, *Unless*, the rejection is because the one rejecting is trying to protect the other mc, but in the end, those two still end up together.

-No love triangle, or om/ow. I cannot stand it when one of the mcs has s*x with someone other than eachother once the series starts. It's an immediate dnf for me. I can only tolerate om/ow if the mmc and fmc only have eyes for eachother, and the om/ow is only there to cause jealousy and tension.

-no breeding kink / pregnancy trope. I want the focus to be on their desire for eachother. Not their desire to procreate. It's ok if they have children in the epilogue, or something, but I don't want it to be the main focus of their relationship.

-no poly or reverse harem. MxF only, no MxM please. .... I could take some FxF recs tho if any exists.

-(Content Warning) The FMC cannot have been r*ped in her past. I can handle past SA that didn't involve penetration, but any more than that makes me extremely uncomfortable. I can handle it if it is a third party character, just not the FMC.

Things I do like:

I really enjoy fated mates, but it is not a requirement.

I enjoy it when there is a good amount of scenes with MMC (and even FMC) in their shifted forms. Whether they are playing, hunting, or fighting.

I much prefer sweet/kind mmcs over mean/alphahole mmcs, but I'll read all sorts.

Thank you for the recs in advance!

Looking for Fated Mate MFM recs with the MMCs being twins/brothers

I'm one of those people who always say "No reverse harem / poly!" when asking for recs. Most of me still prefers monogomous relationships only. But guys, {Tethered Souls by Tiffany Roberts} changed me. I loved the Infinite City Series so much, I decided "whatever, I'll give book 6 a shot, I GUESS", and then it sucked me in.

Things I loved about it:

  • The MMCs (twins) having an intense bond with one another (even tho they bicker), but that bond is not romantic or sexual.
  • telepathic bond / communication, able to feel eachothers feelings, and then once the MFC joins the bond, she joins their telepathic bond and all three feel eachother's emotions.
  • The absolute lack of jealousy between the MMCs. Their race, "daevahs", always has the males born as twins, and those twins are always tied together and are expected to share one fated mate. It's just how their species works, and they fully accept it. Nothing about it was unexpected for them, tho it was unexpected for the FMC.

I'd like something like that. The telepathic bonding is not necessary, tho it is a bonus. I want the MMCs born to share a fated mate, hence the twins thing. I'm not much interested in the FMC happening to have multiple mates and the men who don't know eachother have to be like "yeah, I guess I'll share". I still haven't gotten myself to like that quite yet.

I'm really only looking for MFM (Which I believe means the males aren't sexually or romantically involved with eachother, just with the FMC. Obviously, wouldn't want that anyway since I'm looking for twin/brother fated mated reverse harems)

I'm ok with Fantasy, paranormal, or scifi romance!

Thanks in advance!

How do you change Bigme B6 Power Off Image?

I can't seem to figure out how to change the image that shows when the device is powered off. The two bears are cute, but I want something different.

I already figured out how to change "home screen" background and the "screensaver" image. I tried setting an image as "lockscreen" but that doesn't seem to do anything?

Tried searching but all the guides I find just teach you how to set up the homescreen image and screensaver image, but not how to change the Power Off Image.

Your help is appreciated.

Bigme B6 B&W - Two of them compared side by side, quality control issues, light bleed, black lines, stuck pixels

Just a couple days ago I made a review of the Bigme B6 B&W and overall said I loved the device. And I do.... but the next day I noticed the black line on the left side of the device. (the line actually frames the whole screen, but just sticks out more on the left). In lightmode is a thick black line, and in dark mode it turns into a white line. This is the device pictured on the left in the photo above. I figured, "Ah, I'll just exchange it for a different one."

So I got the new Bigme B6 B&W in (pictured on the right). No black lines, yay! But! The light bleed on the top of the device! Wow. With my first device I thought people were exagerrating, but no, I just got lucky with the first device in that respect. The second device has so much light bleed it's really annoying, especially since this is meant to be my bed-time device, when I read in the dark / dim. It also has something akin to a "stuck pixel" which caused a bright spot in the middle of the screen. (not pictured well in this photo).

So now I'm in a conundrum of either picking between these two, or sending both back. Which is really disappointing because I started truly falling in love with this device.

Just thought I'd let you guys know this so you're better informed for your purchases. Other than these visual issues, I do truly like this device.

Bigme B6 B&W version, First Impressions and review with some comparisons

I got the Bigme B6 Black & White version a couple of days ago. I wanted to give a quick review for people who may be considering it.

Overall, I love the device!

Some Backstory:

My main ereader is the Tab Mini C which you see to the right. I love that device to death. But I really wanted a smaller light weight ereader for bedtime use, speficially when laying down. The Tab Mini C gets too heavy to hold after a long period unless I'm leaning it against something. Nowadays I use it with a tablet stand and micro 8bitdo and it's perfect.

But still, I wanted something smaller. I tried the Boox Go 7 B&W and while its a great device, it wasn't really all that much smaller than the Tab Mini C, so I returned it. I also am not a fan of page turn buttons. I much prefer to just tap the screen. I considered the Go 6, but I didn't like that it only had 2GB ram and only android 11. I heard it's very sluggish. So then recently I discovered the Bigme B6 B&W (middle) and decided to give it a shot! I also decided to try out the Palma 2 Pro (Seen on the left), to see which of the two devices I liked better.

Bigme B6 Review

The Bigme B6 is a really nice tablet! The screen is carta 1300, which Bigme doesn't advertise on their website for some reason, but if go searching, there are many sources that state it's 1300. It's 4GB ram, Android 14, 64gb onboard storage, with sd card slot.

Speed: It's sufficiently fast! One issue I had with my Tab Mini C is when reading kindle books in HD mode, the pages would turn so slow. Kindle app in HD mode on the Bigme B6 is so much faster!

Front light: Front light seems very even to me. I'm used to Boox software, so how the frontlight works is a bit different, but I've gotten used to it. There have been reports of light leakage on the white body of the Bigme B6 for both the color and B&W versions. And yeah, if you're in a pitch black room with the light all the way up to 100% you can see it, but like, who uses that much light in the dark anyway? I tested the light in many different settings, and since it's a B&W device, I never have the frontlight up enough to see that leakage. This may be different story for the color Bigme B6 since you have to use the front light more on kaleido 3 devices.

Dark Mode: This device has dark mode, however, there is some white lines around the edge of the screen when in dark mode, that I believe is what people call the "haloing" effect that happens on white bodied ereaders. I personally never use dark mode on my ereaders, so I don't care. A note tho, there is a lot more ghosting in dark mode, so something to consider if you're planning to get his device.

Button Bar: Some people complain about this bar for some reason, but I love it! The buttons are touch buttons (under the glass), so they don't have any travel to them. You can program them to do whatever you want. I have some programed to refresh, some to open kindle or moon plus reader, I have one programmed to page turn, another programmed to open the eink-center. If you don't want to use the buttons at all, then you can disable them. They are not backlight, which I personally prefer, since it would annoy me when reading in the dark. I just remember where the buttons are, but some people might have trouble with it, I dunno.

Speaker: This device has a single loudspeaker. It's actually pretty good! I read in my bedroom that has several fans going and I can hear just fine over it. Sound seems clear enough an not muffled. I also like that the speaker is on the top of the device and not on the bottom, so that it doesn't get blocked when I lean the device on my lap or hand, and also barely feel any vibrations. Palma 2 Pro has dual speakers so it's louder, but it vibrates quite a bit which I absolutely hate feeling even when the volume is turned down. Gives me the ick. Palma 2 Pro speakers also sound more muffled, tbh.

Body: This is one thing I don't like about this device. It's a block, with harsh edges. It is not comfortable to hold without a case. I wish it had more rounded edges and then it would be perfect. It weighs about 176 grams. The Palma 2 Pro I believe was 172 grams? My kindle paperwhite 11th gen is 205 grams, and my Boox Tab Mini C is 305 grams. So the bigme b6 is very light!

Conclusion: I really like this device! I'm going to be returning the Palma 2 Pro. I also know that Boox is coming out with a Poke 7 soon, which specs aren't announced yet. I have considered returning the Bigme B6 and waiting for the new Go 6 / Poke 7, but honestly, it's very likely not going to have a speaker which is one of the things I love about the Bigme B6. Also, I really like the touch button bar, which I already know the Poke 7 will not have. So this Bigme B6 is likely going to be a keeper! I have a few more weeks to decide.
