Charlotte “Charlie” Mullins doesn’t mind putting herself in danger. She’s actually volunteered to hunt down Kade Lessing, a feral alpha bear who might be attacking and killing wolf shifters in Cascadia. Charlie’s not scared of the big bad bear, though maybe she should be…Kade Lessing isn’t really feral, though sometimes he wishes he were. God knows he’d be less tormented, and it would make … it would make things a little easier on him and his mate Daniel. When Kade hears a woman scream in the forest, he runs to the aid of a total stranger.
With one glance at the curvy, tomboyish girl left bleeding on the ground, he knows instantly that he’d do anything to save her – including fighting off the wolves who attacked her. When Kade carries her back to the cabin, Daniel feels exactly the same way.
They’ve saved her life, but can Charlie tell them the truth – that she was on a mission to take down Kade? Can their triad bond survive a battle between wolves, bears, and humans, or is their fated love doomed to fall apart?
A Bear’s Mercy is a steamy standalone novella about two rugged shifters in love and the woman they can’t help but claim as their own. Take off your sweaters, because things are about to heat up.

I love this series. It’s so much fun. A Bear’s Mercy continues to be funny, sexy and suspenseful. Kade and Daniel’s relationship works for their quiet and mysterious ways. But is a little intimidating for an outsider. Throughout this series Dakota West shows different types of love and how it’s shown between the guys, all of whom fall hard and fast their women. I’d love to spend more time with all of these characters and, try as I might, I can’t stop binge reading any of the Shifter Country Bears series, Kade and Daniel’s book included. I cannot wait for more of this lovely world.
I received an advanced copy of this book for free from the author. This is my honest and voluntary review.
A Bear’s Mercy is the third book in the Shifter County series. I think I might love this one the most so far. This story follows Charlie (Charlotte), Kade and Daniel. Charlie is tasked by the FBI to find a feral Bear shifter who killed 2 wolf shifters. The only problem is when she goes to tranquilize Kade, she ends up being attacked by wolf shifters. Kade is immediately drawn to protecting Charlie and keeping her safe. He brings her to his cabin in the woods that he shares with his mate Daniel. The chemistry these three have is so primal is unmistakable. I love Charlie’s independence and strong attitude in the face of danger. The men might have a rough exterior Nd not do well in normal human settings, but they make up for it in the desire to protect Charlie. There is a little bit of danger and a whole lot of lobe in this short novella. I loved it from start to finish
I’m entranced with this shifter world and I’m enjoying each book that provides a bigger picture into the bears’ world. There are some questions I need answered!

Loved the plot and characters. It was a quick read which was perfect since I was short on time.
My only negative was that the novella didn’t have more hotness. I love that shifters are protective and alpha but I wanted more of Charlie, Daniel, and Kade. One scene was not enough.
** spoiler alert ** Charlie has been tasked with tracking down a feral shifter. Kade and Daniel like their lives in the woods and have no clue how to handle a human woman. All three are drawn together, but their is more than meets the eye. Will Kade and Daniel let Charlie see the real them? Will Charlie be able to figure out the truth behind what happened?
Great read! Loved how Charlie bit by bit put together the puzzle on who was responsible. I didn’t blame Kade for being tight lipped, but love how he opened himself up. I loved how despite being the “feral” one of the group, he was determined to care for Charlie. Awesome read and awesome series!
A great story! In the third book we get to see Kade and Daniel’s life. I loved the storyline. It was filled with plenty of twists and turns that kept my interest. All the characters are well described and their chemistry was hot!! I voluntarily reviewed advanced copy of this book.
I loved this 3rd book of series!! ! Charlie, Kade & Daniel’s story was a page turner! Never knew what was happening next. Charlie being FBI Agent sent to track bear shifter for deaths of 2 wolf shifters takes a Big change in course for her. Loved the HEA!! On to book 4! This was an ARC from the author! ! Thank You
So this is #3 in this novella series. You don’t have to read them all but it is probably a good idea. 🙂
This one is a little different. There is more mystery to it. And you don’t seem to get all the answers you want, which brought my star rating down. I am hoping that the next book will help since it did leave the story on a cliffy but not the love story part.
I enjoyed the characters Kade, Daniel, and Charlie. Their relationship is quick and hot. But if you have read the others that is kind of the way they all start and end. But again it is the story that leaves some questions that need to be answered.
Excited to see where the next book takes us.
I really like a fun shifter book and that is exactly what the Shifter Country Bears series is! I recommend that you read this series in order because even though each novella stands alone there is a continuing storyline going on throughout the series. A Bear’s Mercy is the story about Kade and his mate Daniel. They live mostly off the grid where Kade has spent the majority of his free time searching for feral shifters. One of them happens to be his sister Olivia. Charolette aka Charlie is an FBI/shifter task force agent that is trying to capture Kade because the office believes that he is the feral killer of wolves. Now I can’t give away much more without describing the entire novella but I will tell you that like all the books, it’s written from multiple POV’s, full of heat and action. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
Charlie, Kade, and Daniel have a primal chemistry impossible to deny. Charlie knew that when her bosses sent her in to investigate and track the deaths of the two Shifter Wolfs it would be dangerous. Having grown up around Shifters, she’s familiar with their close ranks personalities and the inherent dangers of trying to take a feral one down. Kade wasn’t exactly sure why this human woman was going to tranq him, but the moment he knew she was going to be attacked by the Wolves he knew he needed to intervene. She lit something in him that made him want to take on ever Wolf that would dare to hurt a hair on her head. To say Daniel was surprised that his mate brought home and injured woman is understanding it, but even more disconcerting is the draw she has on him. After everything he went through he was lucky enough to had Kade, but Charlie wasn’t anything he planned on. With the wolves still circling and Charlie’s mission still in play, will they be able to find they way to peace and happiness just three of them?

I really enjoyed this story!! I loved getting Kade and Daniel’s story. We get to meet them in the previous books but we don’t see much of them and this book stands by itself. There was plenty to keep my attention. The story is short and a quick read. I liked Charlie’s sass that she was able to keep. There isn’t much sex in this story, which will make sense within the first chapter. It fit the plot and there was still plenty of the attraction and chemistry between them. I love the triad aspect and the way that it is written. I wish that I had been able to get more of Kade, Daniel and Charlie though. I wasn’t ready for the story to be over.

I enjoyed A Bear’s Mercy. Kade and Daniel are great characters. I kind of wish that the story was a little longer. I would of loved to have read more of their backstory. Charlie wasn’t my favorite at first but she grew on me as the story progressed. It was her judgmental attitude that I didn’t like. I get that she was misinformed and that she needed to be cautious but Kade just put his life in danger to save hers.
Their story left me with a lot of questions. I can’t wait to see how everything unfolds in A Bear’s Journey, Olivia’s story.
Charlie is trying to hunt down a shifter that her boss’s think has killed two wolves without cause. Her leads take her to Kade and he is her number one suspect. Just as she is about to apprehend her man she is attacked. Kade knows that Charlie is following him and that she was about to shoot him but all of that falls away when he sees her being attacked. After making a daring rescue Kade takes Charlie back to his home that he shares with his mate Daniel. Afraid that her attackers wills track her to any hospital they send for Kade cousin to come and help out. When Charlie is awake she is surprised Kade has a mate when he is thought to be feral. Will she find out who is really doing the killing before its too late? Is Charlie the missing piece for Kade and Daniel?
This is a great story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between Kade, Charlie and Daniel is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this to any book lover.

Another great short story with lots of steam. This is a MMF romance that is hot and steamy…make sure you have a cold drink nearby. I love how all of these stories have related characters from the previous books. It’s not necessary to read them in order, but I think is best if you do to avoid minor spoilers. And these Shifter County Bears books are good – you’ll want to read them all I think. Also, they are quick reads…easily read in an afternoon lounging by the pool.
Goldilocks wishes she woke up to these hunks!
Another satisfying excursion into the world of Cascadia. Charlie is there to bring in Kade because he’s thought to be guilty of murdering two wolf shifters. He lives in the woods with his mate, Daniel. Unfortunately, or is it fortunately, Charlie’s assignment goes awry. She finds herself saved by these two sexy beasts. Love the continued expansion of the bookiverse. A little drama, a lot of heat, and another satisfying read. I received an advanced copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Another great read in this series! I love Kade’s intensity, Charlie’s strength and how sweet Daniel is. Their story kept me pulled in and I couldn’t get enough.

A Bear’s Mercy was another wonderful book in the Shifter Country Bears series.
Kade, Daniel and Charlie are our very interesting main characters. Charlie is hunting Kade for the FBI after he is accused of being feral and killing other shifters. But when she is attacked, he brings her back to the house he shares with his mate Daniel. Kade and Daniel are an interesting couple, they don’t have a lot of people food, sometimes they forget to wear clothes, and they don’t talk much. But they absolutely adore each other. Daniel is extremely quiet but tries his best to care for Charlie while she recovers, while Kade protects her in his own way.
These three together were explosive, and thank goodness there was sex between Kade and Daniel, cause I was missing that from the previous book.
There is also a plotline through this about feral shifters – what causes them to go feral, what they do, and how they can be brought back from that state – that sets up the next book brilliantly and I can’t wait.

A favorite story in this series, this story is about a women, Charlie, who is sent to shoot a rogue bear. Kade is the bear shifter that she is looking for and when she finds him she knows that she cannot hurt him. His in turns saves her life and the romance and bond begin. As with all of these shifters stories in this series, Kade already has a mate with Daniel but they are looking for their third.
What I loved about this story was the development of the relationship and the heat level. I really enjoy reading MMF and MM stories and this author really knows how to turn up the heat but still keep a great story going. Nothing was lost or overtaken. There was more if an emphasis on the relationship in this story rather then the action,but there was still plenty of story line. I received an ARC and am leaving an honest review.
I enjoyed reading this. It is a quick read with some action, suspense, and sexiness!
Soooo can anyone show me the way to Cascadia PLEASE!? I am loving how strong, sexy and so loving the bears of Cascadia are! West has done an amazing job at creating such amazing characters that are so lovable you want more!
I love the added mystery that west wove into this novella and hope to learn more! Amazing story and A definite must read!
