Nothing can stand in the way of fated mates—except maybe themselves.Despite being named the most eligible bachelor in the country, all billionaire Cyrus Steele wants to do is hide from the spotlight. As a Kodiak shifter, he needs solitude. However, he also hungers for a mate. So when he meets Natalia Jackson, who’s as sexy as she is confident, he’s more than happy to accept her offer to hide out … she is confident, he’s more than happy to accept her offer to hide out together in the Montana mountains. It doesn’t hurt that their connection is immediate, intense and so hot, it’ll take more than a snowstorm to douse their flames.
But they can’t hide forever and when the responsibilities of real life come knocking, Natalia and Cyrus find themselves at odds with what’s expected of them and what their hearts are calling them to do. Fated love may be right in front of them but their lives may very well tear them apart.

I’ve been reading this series (no worries, His to Seek is a standalone, however I always enjoy reading about family connections and previous character cameos) since the start and I have to say I wasn’t too thrilled with Natalia Jackson when I “met” her in previous reads. Boy howdy, did she change my mind! Even though the story starts with her having doubts about herself, her place in the world, and her place in her family…she really grows into her life.
The story starts with her returning home and she has a truly funny meet-cute with Cyrus Steele. Whew! What a hottie! I loved Cyrus, in all his own broken-ness, from the very start. And the way Nat and Cyrus relate to one another, during that first meeting, makes for a great read/road to their HEA. No spoilers from me; it was funny and not so funny at the same time.
I will say that Nat is a grizzly shifter and Cyrus is a Kodiak bear alpha. Yeah…alpha tendencies unite! It’s hard for both these shifters to come to terms with their families and life differences and dramas but it was such a good, deep, all-the-feels story that I enjoyed. Loved, loved, loved Cyrus! He was just broken enough to make me want to steal him away from Natalia. I think she’d win that fight, though… Can’t wait for the next book!
The Grizzley Ridge series just keeps getting better and better. I love how Elena has created this story line for this series every book is a stand alone but you get to revisit all the characters in every new story and see more or their life and how things are moving on in the future. I am so glad that Nat has gotten her story and fated mate wasn’t sure if her Alpha Kodiak Cyrus could understand her Alpha grizzley nature but in the end they got their HEA with a few twist in the road like normal Elena style. I cant wait to her Bre and Liam’s story next.

Natalia and Cyrus are alike, both looking for their mates and strong alpha bears. Their meeting is fated, but Cyrus has an empire that will not run without him. They are a great pair but have many issues to deal with, together, but neither are used to factoring in another person. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
While the shape shifters storyline is not one that I would usually enjoy, I have loved this series by Ms. Aitken. The romance is the major part of the story & the shifting enhances it, rather than detract. The chemistry between Natalia & Cyrus is apparent from the beginning & transcends anything they’ve felt before. Natalia is a strong, secure woman with a grasp on her wants & needs. She needed someone that is just as strong or she would have run all over them. Cyrus needed a woman as strong & determined as he was to stand up to him. They were perfect for each other but had barriers they had to overcome to be together. I enjoyed the snapshot into the other characters lives so that we knew how their futures were progressing. This was another intense, sexy story from a terrific writer!
What can I say about the romance between Cyrus and Nat? Oh my! Steaming from their very first liplock! I loved all the family drama between the various shifter clans and how they work their way through it with love overcoming all!
Can’t wait for the next book!

Another wonderful Grizzly Ridge. I am seriously loving this series. Each one just gets better. One of the things I like in the series is they visit characters from the previous books. This one featured Natalia and Cyrus – a rocky start, but love always prevails.

Best so far. Number seven in this series. A chance meeting ends with life partners. The clan turmoil comes to peak. Issues are addressed and solved, old taboos are ended and a new path opens for those who need it the most. Another good read.
I fall more in love with this series with each book I read. His to Seek is the story of two alphas, Cyrus and Natalia. Cyrus is a Kodiak bear shifter and Natalia is a grizzly bear shifter. They meet at the airport in the Bahamas and are instantly attracted to each other. She helps him out with some annoying women and invites him to Grizzly Ridge. Things heat up once they get to Montana and then fireworks happen, lol. I won’t leave any spoilers, but I will say I loved this book. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

Great series!
Natalia and Cyrus live the bliss they find when they shut the world out but when it comes knocking can their love survive.
I just love the Bears of Grizzly Ridge Series. This book focuses on Natalia Jackson, a grizzly bear. She is coming back to Grizzly Ridge for the holidays and to see her cousin, Kira, who is pregnant with twins. Natalia has not been home in a long time, partly because her family tries to set her up with dates. While at the airport in the Bahamas waiting for her flight to Montana she tries to find a magazine to read that doesn’t talk about who’s dating who so she grabs a business magazine. On the cover is a picture of the most eligible bachelors, Cyrus Steele, a Kodak bear.
Cyrus is at the airport in the the Bahamas on his way to the airport trying not to be recognized when a group of women flock to him. Natalia comes to his rescue to help protect his identity. In exchange she asks him to help her out. Can a Kodak and a Grizzly get along?

I liked this installment in Elena Aitken”s shifter series Bears of Grizzly Ridge. We meet Natalia who is the sister to Liam and Ryker. She runs into Cyrus and it’s fated mates from the getgo. Although I prefer longer books, this one developed fairly well and actually wrapped up one of the storylines involving the grandfather. All of the previous characters in this series make an appearance which I always enjoy. I’m looking forward to the next book which stars Liam. I received an advance copy of this book from the author and Booksprout and this is my honest and voluntary review.
His to Seek by Elena Aitken is the seventh book in the Bears of Grizzly Ridge and definitely worth reading if you enjoy paranormal romances with strong alpha males and the women that love them.
Natalia Jackson is heading back to her real life when she meets Cyrus Steele in the Bahamas’ airport. She needs no introduction since he is known as one of the most eligible bachelors and on the cover of most magazines, but when she steps in to help him out with a throng of very interested women by kissing him, she believes introductions are definitely in order. What neither expects is the instant attraction from that very innocent kiss. In spite of that attraction and wanting their relationship to work they face complications that can not only make it difficult, but near impossible.
I’m looking forward to reading more books in this wonderful series!
I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
Cyrus is a kodiak shifter, Natalia a grizzly shifter – and they’re both alphas. They meet in an airport wher she comes to his rescue… sexy billionaire bachelor with women fawning all over him. They both have challenges with their families – expectations from his now deceased father to continue his his legacy; her feeling torn between her old fashioned grandfather and the family she loves,trying to find her place. Thier romance is whirlwind, both accepting they are fated mates without thinking through the logistical nightmare that come with his being the alpha kodiak shifter in Alaska, and her being tagged to be the Jackson clan alpha by her dying grandfather. There are plenty of sexy scenes, but also heartaching ones. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
A pretty quick read. Cyrus and Nat’s relationship evolved into something more from the very beginning.
They started out with great chemistry that intensified to a romantic, sexy bond. Cyrus and Nat had their issues, but realized they loved and respected one another and both needed to change.
There was danger, some intrigue, suspense, and major change involved with the Jackson clan.
I know I missed a couple of books in this series, and this book made me want to go back and read them. I did get to revisit some of the characters from the books I had read previously.
There were a couple of sad moments, but ultimately there was the HEA and a possible new beginning.

Elena Aitken is a phenomenal author. The worlds she creates are just breathtakingly magical. I adore her stories. Her character’s struggles are relatable and realistic. When Elena Aitken puts pen to paper her words dance from paper to my heart every time.
In His to Seek we get Natalia Jackson’s story. Natalia is a Grizzly Shifter returning home. Enter rich and famous Cyrus Steele. Cyrus is a Kodiak Shifter needing rescued. From the moment they meet there is an undeniable chemistry.
I loved His to Seek. I love the whole Shifter story. I love how even though there is an instant chemistry, Natalia and Cyrus have a lot of obstacles to overcome. They prove that when it comes to fated love nothing is impossible. From page one I was captivated. My heart swooned and I laughed. I was intrigued from page one. I read this in one night and was saddened to see it end. There was never a dull moment. I love the Jackson clan. They really are an amazing family. They make you feel as if you belong. I felt as if I were a part of this story and not reading it. This is an amazing paranormal romance. I just adore this series. I am so grateful that Elena Aitken introduces me to this genre and series.

HIS TO SEEK is a very well written book that I couldn’t put down and read in one day! It was so good I didn’t want it to end. Cyrus and Natalia’s first hot kiss in the airport is just the beginning for these fated mates. They are sexy, intriguing characters and when they shift they are dangerous. Just when it seems family and business obligations are going to keep them apart something fabulous happens.
HIS TO SEEK is a must read along all the books in the Bears of Grizzly Ridge series! Ms. Aitken is a favorite Author of mine that I highly recommend to everyone.
