Ezra is the bear shifter that lives in the woods of Bull Creek and avoids people like the plague. The only reason we know of him is he saved Lainie from a bullet in a previous book. Josh has been trying to get him to join with the shifters and he flat out refuses to have anything to do with anybody. When his past catches up with him and asks for more than he is willing to give, he has to decide if his solitary life is worth more than a little girl’s life. Josh makes me roll with laughter throughout this book. He is so annoying and doesn’t stop talking. Ezra is ready to do bad things to him just to get him to shut up! I loved this addition to the series and hope to see more of Ezra. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
The Para-Force rescues a kidnap victim, but realizes there must be a leak. They turn to Ezra for backup. However, Ezra has not gotten over past trauma and doesn’t want to risk any more lives. The danger Hoyt poses gives him no choice but to put his life on the line again. Bear Necessities is an exciting novel that I recommend and suggest reading the entire series.

BEAR NECESSITIES is the third book in the Bull Creek Chronicles series. Though these will each stand on their own, I recommend reading them all and in the order of release.
Reading this took no time at all, because I couldn’t put it down! Turn the page; turn the page; what happens next; oh no! I’d close my eyes, but then I couldn’t read the next page! LOL Yes, this one was a real page turner, with lots of new characters brought to Bull Creek to assist in the biggest tale yet.
I hope we’re going to get more of the Para Force team!

Ezra had been a member of the Para-Force, a group policing paranormals and humans out of reach for the regular police. For months they had been after one man, Hoyd. A human, selling children with special abilities, after killing their family. When Ezra becomes the reason for one such child to die, he flees into the woods near Bull Creek. But the fight against Hoyd is taken to his door when another child is targeted….
An action packed story with interesting characters and a great story line. Loved the description of Ezra’s struggles and Josh helping him to come to terms. A book of friendship and of a neighbourhood fighting for what is right.

I’ve read several books written by Robbie Cox; he has done a great job at writing a good book; I will definitely be reading more of his books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the characters.

Book three in The Bull Creek Chronicles series a well written action story that kept me on the edge of my seat. Ezra Havlin can not forgive himself for the death of a child but Josh Rayburn a friend will not give up on helping him. I want to read the next book. What a story.

Ezra’s story is a powerful and emotional story. The plot is supported by strong, developed and well rounded characters. This is very well written and is a very great read.
I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.
Ezra Havlin is a bear shifter who has chosen to live like a hermit in the woods as he blames himself for the death of a 10-year-old girl he was trying to protect and failed. Hoyt Cheffron, the evil man who killed her, kidnaps special children to sell for profit. Now Ezra only wants to be left alone with his own guilt and suffering for allowing that child to die.
Josh Rayburn tracks him down and tries to get him to come back to civilization with no luck. Then the Para-Force team he had been a member of, paranormals who take difficult cases human agencies cannot deal with, approaches him with another case, all too similar to the one that destroyed both his life and that of a little girl! Now they tell him there is another little girl, grabbed by the same evil kidnapper, and she needs to be saved. This could be a chance for redemption for Ezra. But can they convince him to come out of his isolation and rescue the child? Can he forgive himself for his past mistake? Or is there nothing left of him inside to come back to the living.
There is a powerful message in this story about the effect a community’s love can have on an individual. Seeing them pull together and not allowing Ezra to self-destruct really means so much. It’s what we all need to do when someone needs help and support, and it doesn’t have to be monetary – just love and caring for another person. Grab your copy and see if Ezra can come out of his exile to save a child in danger.
Bear Necessities by Robbie Cox is about the Para-Force, a military/mercenary group that goes after the criminals other law enforcement can’t get to.
Ezra is haunted by the failure of his last mission with Para-Force as they tried to capture a human trafficker. Feeling like it was his fault the victim died, he has been hiding out as a hermit in Bull Creek, Florida. But as we know, when Dimitri, Laniie and the other inhabitants are around, no one is really alone in Bull Creek.
When Ezra’s former group shows up wanting his help in protecting another victim, he refuses. He’s broken and doesn’t trust himself not to lose control of his beast and get another victim killed.
This is well-written with interesting characters, some new and some old friends. Youll find humor and tears as you read this fast paced, easy to follow and gets you right in the middle of things.

Specter Brotherhood led by Hoyt was kidnapping paranormally gifted children after killing their families. Enter Para-Force, Ezra the hermit, and the Bull Creek community to solve the problem. Good story with well defined characters. Good read.

Another great book to the Bull Creek Chronicles. This one brings Ezra’s story. The author brings a cast of strong , well developed characters , some old and some new , and weaves an interesting and emotional story that had me glued to the pages from start to finish. He does a fantastic job pulling you in with his descriptive and detailed writing, moves the story quickly and smoothly and delivers another great book to the series. I loved and would recommend this book/series.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
The author has given us so many wonderful characters. Para-Force, a special group of paranormals fighting together to take on difficult cases that human agencies cannot handle, is on the hunt for a man who steals special children and sells them to the highest bidder. Each of our characters have things they need to deal with but, with the help of their friends they may make it through.

Hoyt was stealing paranormal gifted children after killing their families and selling them to a group that used their powers to take down humans. They also found the one who was telling the bad guy where everyone was going to be so he could get out. But Ason was killed so he couldn’t tell on hi team to the bad guys, they caught Hoyt and saved the little girl.
An amazingly twisted story about shifters and kidnapped kids. This story is about Para Force Agency that undertakes difficult missions. Loved the characters especially Liam. Thanx.

Everyone needs people… right? Not according to Ezra who just wants to be left alone. Too bad he is in Bull Creek where others are determined to let him know he is wanted and needs more than just a tent in the woods. Unfortunately the past comes back to bit him in the tail, but the good news is that there are many who will stand with him.
This book was an exciting read and I was unable to put it down. I stayed on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. Oh there is a major creep factor that made its way into my dreams but that was not as it appears to be….. no spoilers given 🙂
I loved the way the story plays out.
