ElijahWhile fighting a fire blazing out of control in Big Bend, I saw Valentina and knew my life would never be the same. Try as I might, there was no denying my bear what he knew was his.We both gave in to what our animal sides craved so badly, and I reckoned she’d be mine forever. But just like that, she vanished without a trace.And I’ve got a feeling the local coyotes are to blame. Looks like … coyotes are to blame.
Looks like I’ll be taking matters into my own hands. Because, come hell or high water, Valentina will be mine.
Valentina
After losing my father, Elijah was a beacon of hope shining on the darkness that consumed my heart.
Between his slow, southern drawl and the intensity in his gaze, my inner bear roars to break free whenever he’s near.
So when Javier, the Alpha of Los Aulladores, demands I never see Elijah again, it seems impossible. But when he threatens my family, I have no choice.
Javier is the reason my father is dead. Going against the coyotes and endangering my family would make my father’s sacrifice meaningless, but I can’t stand being without Elijah.
I don’t know how just yet, but I’ll do everything it takes to be with my fated.
And vengeance will be mine.
Elijah’s Mate is a 33,000 word standalone novella with steamy shifter scenes intended for readers 18+.

Valentina is grieving the loss of her father who was running for the Los Aulladores and gang in Mexico that did whatever they wanted. She hated them especially Javier the leader. Valentina decided to follow her father footsteps and became a firefighter. On her first mission she met Elijah head of the Big Bear Bend and being a shifter himself his bear wanted to get out and be with Valentina as she was a bear shifter also. Javier warned Valentina to stay away from Elijah but they were mated fates and doing so would be hard. Elijah wanted her just as much. In the end they both get the HEA.

Overcoming obstacles…
While this the second story in the series, if you haven’t read the first it’s okay. I actually think I like this one better than book one. Elijah and Valentina were wonderful characters with plenty of chemistry between them. Their road to a HEA was paved with plenty of love, angst and drama.

Elijah’s Mate is another story in the Werebears of Big Bend series. This book follows Elijah, one of the Big Bend werebears, and Valentina, a werebear from across the Rio Grande. They meet in a controlled burn taking place in the Big Bend National Park and the chemistry is instantaneous. As fated mates, they are destined to be together. How that happens is the basis of the book. Meg Ripley excels in written imagery and she weaves an adult tale with expertise. While there are few surprises, this HEA is entertaining. 4 stars

You’re gonna need tissues – a blooming big box of them
But every single tear, sob, sigh and hiccup and sigh is worth it.
This book is so emotional, right from the start and it continues until the very end.
I flipping loved it. I cried buckets and buckets of tears and sobbed my heart out – especially at Elijah’s surprise (that’s all I’m saying about that!)
Once again Meg Ripley has reduced me to a jabbering wreck – but this book isn’t just sadness or emotional turmoil – there’s determination, fighting spirit and family/clan live and loyalty.
Come and join the bears of Big Bend – true love never did run smoothly – but if it’s worth having then it’s worth the fight of your life
Elijah’s Mate by Meg Ripley is a wonderful story to read. I loved readng this story so much cause I love reading about bear shifters. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about bear shifters.

There is a drug gang who is threatening the people in the small village to run their drugs over the border. Elijah is the Fire Management Ranger in Big Bend. His clan is small and not all related but they are family. He calls on Los Osos Demonios fire crew to help with fires when needed. The attraction between Valentina and Elijah takes their breath away and leaves them speechless. Hot sizzling chemistry, a well written storyline and wonderful characters. This fast paced read had me turning the pages to find out what would happen.

Book two of the Shifter Nation: Werebears Of Big Bend series a well written story with a well developed plot. There is suspense, drama, danger, villains, and romance. I enjoyed reading Valentina and Elijah’s story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. Well, I somehow expected a little more. The Bond between Valentina and Elijah is extremely strong, nevertheless they are kept apart for weeks. Unfortunately this story is not quite convincing. I liked the first story in the series more…
