Blurb:
A BIG Bear Romance.
He might growl, but she’s not afraid to bite.
Hands full taking care of his clan, the last thing this Kodiak bear needs is a woman poking her cute little nose into his affairs. But when she refuses to back down–and shows the courage to stand up to him–he can’t resist the allure of a curvy city girl.
She’s mine. All mine.
And when a rival clan thinks to use her to force his paw, he’ll show them why you never piss off a Kodiak, or threaten what’s his.
Tammy is convinced all men are scum, even gorgeous ones like Reid Carver. She knows he’s hiding something. Something big. She just never expected a real freaking bear hid underneath all those yummy muscles. But when the truth comes out and he tries to scare her off with a roar, she shows him not just bears have bite.
Review:
When I first started reading this book I had no prior interest really in shifter romances. I knew that they were popular, but I never thought that they would be, well, my thing. My shifter experience was limited previously to werewolves and that’s about it.
After talking with some other writers, I figured I would check out a shifter romance to see what all of the hype was about and to see if I would be interested in writing in the genre in the future.
What grabbed my attention for this book specifically was that it was set in Alaska. Which, if you don’t know, happens to be one of my favorite places in the world. Therefore, I was already sold on trying it out.
Before I started reading it I was kind of worried that it would be just sex, sex, and more sex. However, that was not the case with this read. Yes there were some sexy times, but they were built up to very nicely.
Our author here, Eve Langlais, writes very strong lead characters. Tammy, our heroine, and Reid, our hero, are very much that. They are very well developed, and from the first chapter I knew that I was hooked. Simply because I had already started to love Tammy.
Tammy work for an insurance company, which is how she meets Reid. She was sent out to Kodiak Point, Alaska to investigate a claim that his company had filed with her agency. Throughout the entirety of the book Tammy was my favorite. Her character seemed so real, and I could relate myself to her on many occasions while reading. She’s not your typical girl next door, she has voluptuous curves that set her a part in a very good way.
So did I end up liking the whole shifter romance thing? Yeah I really think that I did. I wasn’t so sure about the whole werebear/bear shifter thing at first, but it really wasn’t that different from books about werewolves. I think that it was all just in my head. This is a read I would recommend to any of my friends, and I gave it 5/5 stars on Goodreads.
