My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 Unicorns – I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! No one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I have bought this book because I own most of Zoe’s books!
The cover is very awesome! I love it!
I bought this book back in 2015, but I’m reading it now because I need to read the latest release and want to read them in order. This is the first book in this series, and it is for adults only. It is about 150 pages, and it was definitely a perfect mix of action and romance.
Axl is the county sheriff, and he is a bear shifter. Tara is on the run and wanted. These two make a great pair, and their story had me from the start. Zoe always knows how to mix the perfect amount of action and romance that ends in an HEA! I can’t wait to read more of this series.
I highly recommend to all bear lovin’ shifter fans because Zoe’s work is always a great read for HEA ending lovers!
ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL !!!

My Rating: Five Sexy Bearlicious Stars*****
Oh my! I loved, loved, loved Sheriff Bear by Zoe Chant. It’s no secret I’m a Zoe Chant fan and enjoy everything she writes, but this book is definitely one of my all-time favorites! Sheriff Bear is a sexy, fast-paced, easy-to-follow, novella-length, standalone paranormal romance filled to the brim with pulse-pounding danger, riveting action, heart-wrenching drama, undeniable attraction, steamy passion and, of course, heartwarming romance. It’s also a perfect example of why I love Chant’s books. Chant is a talented wordslinger and skilled wordsmith who consistently publishes well crafted and edited paranormal/supernatural/fantasy romance. When Chant releases a book, I never even bother to read the blurb; I just one-click and dive in. I’ve never read a Chant story I didn’t like and Sheriff Bear is no exception. The narrative is beautifully written in the third person with clearly defined his and her perspectives. The dialogue is smart, snappy, well-executed, sometimes humorous, and flows effortlessly. I never tire of Chant’s imaginative settings, riveting storylines, skilled execution, and perfect prose but, without a doubt, my favorite element is the wonderful cast of diverse, captivating, and always engaging characters. I was immediately smitten with our two protagonists: handsome sheriff bear shifter Axl Tanner and on-the-lamb, red-haired beauty Tara Malloy. I was immediately smitten with Axl and Tara. Axl is the sheriff of Pinerock County, the first bear shifter elected to office. He’s also the town’s most eligible bachelor, sought after by all the single ladies which could have been a good thing if he didn’t have the most finicky bear in existence who seems to have no interest in any of the local fair maidens. Unfortunately, he’s also a man of principles, determined to do his job which includes chasing down and arresting a wanted felon, even if that felon happens to be his mate. What? Oh yes, the new waitress at Marge’s Diner is definitely a real knockout and his mate. She’s also the same face he saw on a Wanted poster that very morning. And she just cut and run – from him, but she’ll never get away, not on his watch! Duty before booty, right? But according to the lovely Tara, she’s been falsely accused, framed for a crime she didn’t commit, and her life is in grave danger. What’s a bear to do? Claim his mate or obey the law and turn in his prisoner? We’ll see!
Did I like this story? No, I LOVED it! This is one of the cutest stories ever, but it’s also full of danger, drama, action, suspense, passion, and romance. It may be relatively short at approximately 140 pages but it packs quite a punch. WOuld I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers since it does contain explicit sex scenes. Will I read this author again? Absolutely! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
