*Each story in the Bear Clan series can be read as a complete standalone.DAMONAn alpha, bear-shifting virgin who was saving himself for his mate. That’s what I was. And I was fine with that, because saving myself for the one female who was meant to be mine was the only thing I ever wanted. A lone bear without a mate was a depressing thing. And even though I knew she was out there—the other half … there—the other half to my soul—I was beginning to think there was no happily ever after for me.
Until I saw another male lusting after her. There was no way I could control myself. She was mine, and if that meant kicking the ass of the man who wanted her… then so be it.
Rue would be mine.
RUE
It started with a swim in the lake, and then suddenly there was a possessive bear shifter tackling my friend to the ground for touching my hair. It ended with me being pressed up against a tree, staring into the dark eyes of a feral man who claimed I was his mate… that he wouldn’t stop until I was his, until I was marked as his.
And as much as I knew being mated to Damon meant my life would be forever changed, knowing he would never let me go, would scare off any male who even looked in my direction, all I wanted was to be with him.
All I wanted was to wear his mark.

Out of the woods he came
This book is the perfect ending for this series. I didn’t think it was possible, but the author made this book even more intense than the rest. The book has that instant love we crave and, in just a short number of pages, the HEA we always hope for. I especially enjoyed the epilogue, it gave us a little glimpse into the future of this mated couple. I don’t know what it will be, but I’m looking forward to the next book by this author.
I loved this book… the last brother finally finding his mate..
All Damon wanted was to find his mate, to feel happiness just like his brothers. To realize that he wasn’t actually alone in life, that his mate was out there.
After witnessing all his brother finding their mates and falling in love Damon had to get away, to walk the property coming up to a lake and finally finding his mate. Within seconds of seeing his mate possessiveness and jealousy takes over from seeing her around another male. Not giving a care Damon kisses Rue but it leaves Rue more confused about what she is feeling and what is really going on. But she knows she want to be with Damon, she does not want to fight these feelings she has.
A Perfect Read for Growly, Possessive Alpha Lovers… “A BEARy Happily Ever After” is the sixth and last installment in Jenika Snow’s, Bear Clan series. It’s the mating story of Mason and Rue. And unlike all the other books in the series, this one is less predictable, starting off with a violent BANG, and continuing at an emotional speed just as intense.
Here, Snow focuses on the mental state and actions of remaining brother Mason, the last to find his mate. She sets a faster emotional pace for this book. Setting a more desperate tone and inlaying a larger sense of trepidation and need. She plants in your gut right from the first chapter a sense of worry about how insane Mason will become after seeing Rue for the first time. It is a level of possessive ferocity unseen in the other five installments, and a welcome and exciting emotional ramp-up.
My only complaint about this one, is the lack of resolution with Rue’s friend and family. Considering how this book starts, and the fact that Ronnie hints at Mason being mated, I was expecting to see at least some sort of conclusion tying up these sentiments, as well as, incorporating Rue’s parents into the new clan as was done with Mena’s parents in book five.
Despite my need for the literary lose ends to be tied, this final addition to Snow’s Bear Clan series is a wonderful, rough and tumble, angst-fest, full of the gruff, obsessive, more feral natured alpha I’ve come to love from Snow. The mating bond scenario written here is gloriously aggressive in all its, “you are mine and only mine” possessive glory!
Another wonderful Jenika Snow short story. And a perfect read for lovers of the genre.
A Beary happy bear
Damon is the final bear shifter amongst his brothers to find his mate. However, when he finds her in a lake near his home with another male…his bear comes out to show himself
Rue isn’t interested in the male with her at the lake – but when a bear shifter suddenly makes himself known to her and stakes his claim….it feels as though the world has shifted on its axis
I enjoyed these short steamy stories regarding the bear clan shifters but have to admit even though each story differed slightly, they were essentially very similar.
