Food for Thought?
Steamy, sexy look at Macconwood’s bear-shifter population as another woman discovers her curves are an asset, not a curse. Good thing, because the pastry descriptions were making me feel the calories!
Well worth reading!
A really good bear shifter romance.
This book made me cry for both Krissy and Taylor.
Krissy knew from the moment she met Taylor, as a teenager, that he was her mate. But Taylor was an idiot. He knew there was something between them but he was so focused on how many times he could get laid that he ignored his own bear trying to tell him about Krissy. And he got laid so often that he earned his reputation of a being man-wh*re… over and over again. And Krissy just had to sit back and watch. Until the day that Taylor finally realized the truth about her. I wanted to slap him for being so stupid but he learns his lesson.
You will need tissues for this one but it’s so worth it! The love that finally blooms between Taylor and Krissy is amazing.

Every time I read a book by of Ms. Gorri, I think this is the best book by her…but I am learning that the next one is even better! She has the style of writing I love, always has great world building, and always a HEA.
Taylor Devlin works his way through women, while Krissy Sposa loves him from afar, while her bear whispers MATE to her.
The author graciously gifted me an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.
This she-bear is a saint
I’m not sure how the author managed it, but she once again took us into her bear clan and gave us a story that will surely be a re-read. The way she builds each character and their emotions until you feel like you are living them is phenomenal. I really enjoyed this book and was so happy when Krissy got her HEA. I probably would have made Taylor suffer a little longer, but she was so in love with him I don’t think she could have. I can’t wait to read the next book.
Bearly There: A Bear Claw Tale #2 by C.D. Gorri is a wonderful story the I read.This story is number two in this wonderful series thai fell in love with. I highly recommend this story if you love reading about bear shifters you will love this story.

I spent most of this book wanting to slap Taylor for some reason or another. The ending though makes it all worth it. I enjoyed the character dynamic and found the plot easy to read and fun to watch unfold.

I love this world! This particular book was completely spectacular. It was a marvelous addition. It’s an ever expanding universe in which each book keeps you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
Krissy who manages one of their bakeries has loved Taylor forever and knows he is her mate, but he has been happy being the town player. Only when another bear comes to town showing interest in Krissy he realizes that she is his mate and is going to fight for her! Can he win her love? Or is he too late?

WOW! What a great story!! I love Krissy and Taylor’s story! This is a great plot with wonderful characters and amazing twists. She manages the bakery Taylor and brother’s own. She knows that he is her mate, he is a big player and denies it. When she finally gets fed up he starts to admit the truth and undeserving. Loved it!!
Krissy Sposa has had a hard life since her Mom became ill and her father left them on their own. Having started to work for Bear Claws Bakery as a young teen she had worked her way up to general manger. All the while being in love with one of her bosses but too afraid to reveal her feelings.
Taylor Devlin has always been a player and has no desire to change until he finally realizes that Krissy aka “Dimples” is a knock out and there are others that are taking notice also.
Krissy and Taylor’s story is a sweet romance with some twist and turns to it. I loved the book and the first one in this series, Bearly Breathing, and look forward to the rest of the series
Krissy has know that Taylor is her mate for years. When she finally worked up the courage to tell him, he let her down gently and ran. He’s a player but he’s also her boss (he and his brothers own the bakery that she manages). She’s managed to hide her feelings for years but one day she has had enough and decides to have a little fun. She’s doing just that when Taylor shows up goes berserk. He’s finally figured out what she’s known all along but between having been with every woman in the area (and her knowing about it) and her taking care of her family and everyone else with nothing for herself, he doesn’t feel worthy. There are more twists and turns and lots of interaction with his brothers as he tries to earn her love. I started with this book but am now going back to get book 1. We do meet all the brothers in this book but it works fine as a standalone. If you like bear shifters, this was a fun, fast and easy read. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
Loved it! The mix of sweet and heat the author is capable of is astonishing. All at the perfect length a story needs to be. Krissy has known Taylor was her mate for a long time. The problem is, he’s a bit oblivious. What will rattle a bit of sense in that head of his……another bear. I really don’t want to give much away. A surprisingly heartwarming tale of the redemption of a player. One brother left. This is a series that could easily be in the re-read pile for years to come. This is my voluntary opinion of an advanced copy I received.
Love reading any book that this author writes, was happy that they got their happy ending, can’t wait for the others get their happy ending too.
This is such a sweet, romantic and heartwarming kind of story. I really enjoyed reading it and loved all the characters, especially Taylor and Krissy. They are both perfect for each other and their story is quite passionate. I think it is a must read for all paranormal romance lovers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Krissy has always been the one to take care of her family and be responsible at work. She doesn’t know how to be selfish. For her, work is everything. Taylor is her boss’ brother and she has been crushing on him for a long time now. But as far as he is concerned she doesn’t even exist. She is like a little sister to him and there is no way he would ever think of her as anything else. At least, that is what Krissy thinks. Taylor likes her but the problem is that he isn’t the settling type of bear and Krissy deserves so much better than him. At least, that’s what he thinks. Maybe they are both right or maybe not but will they be able to figure it all out or not is another story…
To be honest, I don’t read paranormal romance as much as I used to. These days I only pick up paranormal fiction if it is an author I have read and loved before and C.D. Gorri is one such author. For me, she the author whose writing style and characters are perfection. I have yet to read a book by her that I didn’t absolutely love. So, if you haven’t read any of her books before, I highly recommend them. Her paranormal world is simply amazing. The best thing is that these books are fast paced and quick reads. I love it because I don’t like spending too much time on a book. I know how readers say that they didn’t want their favorite book to end but I am not that kind of reader. I am a very impatient reader. When I start a book, if it is good then I want to end it quickly because I simply can’t put it down before finishing the story and finding out how it ends. So, for me the best kind books are the ones that I can read in one sitting, i.e. two to three hours straight. That’s why I feel that these stories are perfect for me and everyone else who is like me. 😉
Krissy loved Taylor forever, but he and his bear were a little slow on realizing his feelings. This is book two of the Devlin brothers who are bear shifters. Story was interesting and the characters were portrayed well. Good short read!

he may know that she has had a crush on him – since she was a school girl – and really, is she that much older now?
sometimes he gets a feeling that maybe…. but how can he cross lines like that?
she knows who and what she wants – but f he is not on board after all this time….. maybe fate, fear or anger might make them make different choices when another alternative comes sniffing around – literally.
sometimes fulfilling a bit of destiny means stepping up and accepting fear and love.

Wow a Fantastic read. This story grabs you right from the start. Krissy is a Bear Shifter and a part of the clan Taylor is one of the brothers who helps take care of the shop. They both are aware of each other. But as they grow Krissy loves him from a far. And then one day he realizes that he has feelings for her. But does she still care for him. The Author does a fantastic job at bringing this story to fruition. This Author has written a fast paced read that has you on the edge of your seat. Cheering on the characters. This is a Fantastic read.

Her writing draws you in and keeps you involved throughout the whole story, I found myself in love with not only the characters but also the world she created.
Her descriptions of the characters abilities are so involved, you can truly picture it in your mind. Their attitudes toward the events that are happening makes the story even richer.
