A note from Audrey: Some series can be read out of order – this isn’t one of them. Start with Alpha and welcome to Ghost Mountain!That day when a polar bear shifter arrives in a plane full of purple yarn and all hell breaks loose…Ronan is coming. He’s a big bear—an enormous bear—and arriving at Ghost Mountain is going to change the shape of who he is forever. All it will take is a little … All it will take is a little engineering, a lot of duct tape, and a pack willing to use history and hope to do the impossible.

What I hoped for but better.
I so love this ongoing tale of rebuilding.
Ronan. Friends. Pack needs vs animal needs vs people needs.
Bear was everything I hoped for and more. Have already re-read Bear at least 3 times and looking forward to the next. Ghost Mountain Pack is coming together one wonderful character at a time.
Highly recommend this whole series. One of my go to series when I need positive energy.

Bear is the sixth book in this series. I have been waiting to meet Ronan and hear his story. I wasn’t disappointed. I have come to know and love the cast of characters of Ghost Mountain. There are numerous life lessons in these stories usually beginning with adversity and ending with love and acceptance. The world of shape shifters is new to me and I thank my sister for sharing it. As a rule I don’t normally reread books but this series is the exception. I am eagerly waiting for book seven!
Bear- Ronan’s story
Polar Bear shifter Ronan when just barely an adult was expelled from his home in the north. Brought to the Whistler Pack by Ames, James Scott convinced his mate to let him stay. He has become a beloved member of the Pack.
Ronan at 44 is lively member of the Pack. A talented engineer, he teaches at University, he mentors anyone he can get his paws on, he helped Jules Scott start her company, Home Wild. President of the crafters guild and a knitter. He has finally made it to Ghost Mountain. He nearly looses control of his bear when he lays eyes on Reilly’s mom, Danielle, the self taught repair women of the pack.
Indrani, Ronan’s intern has taken great pleasure in helping Danielle, Eliza and Glow expand their engineering skills and has made great friends and has become pack. She is now helping them adjust to the larger than life Ronan. He is happy to foster and teach the self taught wolves.
Rilley and the pups adore Ronan. The teens find and indulgent father figure and teacher.
Ronan meddles like and Elder. Evan is doing well with the Cats. Ronan is determined to get Eliza’s Damien home.
Hayden, Rio and Kel did not miss the reaction Ronan had to Danielle. They are well aware of what it means. The complications it presents. The hard choice they may have to make. The Pack makes room for Ronan so he can be as big as he needs. Even the Ghost members find safety in his presence in their woods. They want him to stay.
With Ivan’s help, 13 fatherless pups, teens and a cub present Ronan with a gift, and a hopeful request, that will give his bear what he needs to safely stay.
Ronan is friend, safe, no harm, and likes muffins. He has a mate and now a dad.
Merna’s middle and youngest sons have felt the call to come home.
Great series. not a stand alone, needs to be read in order. Rate PG-13
I love the author and this series
Audrey Faye continues her wonderful Ghost Mountain Shifter Series with Bear. At last, we get to meet Ronan in person, and he’s every bit as wonderful as foretold. As always, Audrey Faye’s writing is lyrical and almost poetic. Her characters are endearing (except the bad not-to-be-redeemed guys.) The love, kindness, healing, and gentle humor of these stories is a joy to read. I can’t get enough of them.
I know I sound like I’m on a repeating loop with the Ghost Mountain Wolf series reviews, but reading these books is like coming home to old friends and you can hardly wait to visit with them. This book is about Ronan’s visit to the Ghost Mountain pack. Ronan is a polar bear shifter, an apex predator who could be a very frightening bear. The scarred, broken, but healing members of this pack try to ‘read’ Ronan to see if they can trust him and if there may be a place for him. There’s not a lot of blood, gore, and tense action in this series. But the interaction and view points of so many characters are so interesting and woven together so well. It’s addicting. No one writes books of love, friendship, hope, healing and redemption quite like Audrey Faye. I love the characters, their world, and how they support and grow with each other. I strongly recommend this book. But be warned, you should start with the first book of the series and read it through to get the background of each character and to keep them straight. I think you’ll enjoy every book.
