The outcast finally finds a home
This is one of my favorite kind of stories! There is just something special about being able to cheer for the underdog. I admit, I shed a few tears at the injustice that Owen and Tara had to suffer so the others could hold onto a dead way of life. I’m so glad they had people on their side, even the unexpected allies. And with all good stories, Owen was finally able to prove his worth by being the alpha he has always been, the one who sacrificed everything for someone else. I rejoiced when they finally found their HEA. I can’t wait to see who finds their mate next!
Owen is a bear shifter from the dead planet Reylea. He was an outcast on the planet and because he caused the death of a female wolf he is an outcast on earth. But one good thing is that he found his mate, his shuarra. But due to his once status he is not allowed to have a mate and Col, the dragon, is there to ensure that he follows the rules. To break the rules is death. He needs to stay alive because he knows the wolves are after him and they endanger everyone in Mystery including his mate. His sister is staying with him and will not leave him and is trying to get him to help her figure out a way for the dragon to take away the stigma of outcast. Tara is drawn to Owen just as he is to her and she doesn;t understand why. Over the days they get closer. But what happens when Col, the dragon, finds out that Owen isn;t following the rules of Raylea.
Intense drama with moments of tears this story will keep you entwined in the lives of the Rayleans.
Fantastic story and read

A really good shifter romance.
This book is so good!
Owen, an alien bear shifter, is an outcast from his tribe because of something that wasn’t really his fault. As a result, he is not allowed to belong to another tribe or have a mate as punishment. But everyone knows that Tara, human, is his mate and he just can’t stay away from her. What starts out as him just keeping an eye on her evolves into saving her from an attack to hiding her to protect her. It’s full of danger, passion, and a love that will drag you in and take you on an emotional rollercoaster.

Owen and Tara’s story is a forbidden love, kind of story. But you can’t turn your back on Fate.
I love these characters. They are so relatable.
Col the Dragon that we met in Knock Down Dragon is one of those characters that you start to hate but then he somehow redeems himself.
On Reylean, the world where their little makeshift tribe is from it is forbidden for a Aonkan (outcast) to ever take a Mate and have children. Which Owen is. It doesn’t matter the reason he became an outcast even if he was cheated out of it.
So when he meets Tara he does his best to watch out for her without interfering with her life. Even when he wants to console her with the crisis she has going on with her life right now. That is until the Wolves come sniffing around then he has to take action.
No matter what the Dragon says he will protect his Mate. Even if it cost him his life.
Even though this is a standalone I highly recommend starting with Knock down Dragon to get the full enjoyment.
This was my first read in this particular series, but I had no problem understanding the storyline with the information given. I was particularly impressed with Owen’s love and devotion to Tara. I absolutely did not see that ending coming. Excellent read.

I read the first book in this series. It was very good. Coming from another world and trying to start over. The story was excellent. This one is Awesome too. So hard to start over and find a mate. Some were able to save their mates if they had one. Some were not. Really excellent story, I hope I don’t have to wait so long for the next one. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
Bearly Hanging On is book 3 of Krystal Shannan’s Soulmate Shifters in Mystery Alaska. I have to say that I love this series. Owen and Tara’s story is my favorite so far. There’s just something about being the underdog and coming out on top that touches my heart. Since my name is also Tara and my husband would be a bear shifter, without a doubt, if they existed in real life. So this story hits close to home. Krystal’s worlds get better and deeper the more she writes. I find myself more drawn into the characters and their lives with each new book. I can’t wait to see what’s next in Mystery.
I so enjoyed Tara and Owen’s story. The characters were developed quite well. A solid plot that was interesting and unique. I enjoyed it.

Bearly Hanging On is a riveting story about the eternal qualities of true love. If you believe in Fate, you will be rooting for Tara and Owen, hanging on to your tablet as you enter the world of Mystery and feel like one of the Tribe yourself. Krystal Shannan has the ability to create a world of mythical creatures, which romantically entraps a reader’s mind, leaving you begging for more.
A riveting read – crazy, intense, and enjoyable! It is a compelling, well written, and interesting paranormal romance. The storyline is amazing, the ideas are well-thought out, and it is an on the edge of your seat read that moves along at a brisk pace. It is action-packed with fighting, danger around every corner, suspense-filled, and emotionally deep. Loveable characters – Owen and Tara are mates and a perfect match. The chemistry between them is off the charts, powerful and intense! I look forward to the next book. Definitely recommended.

I received an ARC copy of this book and I chose to review it. This is the third book in this series and I have loved each one. This is a great book and it is well written. I would encourage everyone to get this book and I would tell you to read the first two books they are great!!! This one is worth your time and effort!!!!
This is the first book I have read in this series. I loved it! The characters are well defined and the setting was so detailed. Once I started reading, I had trouble putting it down. Owen was so sweet and accepted his status. I loved Ava sticking with him. Tara was a really strong personality and I liked that she was determined to get close to Owen. I thought Col was unreasonable, even with his mate siding with Owen and Ava. I loved the whole Tribe. I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
I enjoyed this book. An outcast finds his mate but cant have her due to the title he wrongly received. But he will do anything to protect her even with his last breath. Tara came back to her small Alaskan town and is being hunted but doesn’t know why. She yearns for the mysterious Owen and doesn’t know why.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Book three in Soulmate Shifters in Mystery, Alaska is a well written story that once I started reading I was not putting it down. Owen is an Outcast and Tara is his mate but they can not be together but the heart wants what it wants. Tara has a wolf pack after her can Owen keep her safe and get to keep his mate. To find out I would say read this book.
Owen and Tara made a cute couple. Maybe it was because they were doomed from the start, but it made their romance a little more alluring and amped hope they would be allowed to stay together. They do get a HFN, but had to work for it. I haven’t read the first two books in the series and had no problems following who’s who.
I enjoyed reading this book.
It’s super steamy with an amazing story.
It’s definitely a page turner with great characters!
I received a complementary copy of this book and this is my honest opinion
