Bear doesn’t know what to think when a woman comes running into their room at the bar asking for help, he takes notice of her appearance and steps in to protect her. When she divulges she has been held captive for twenty-five years and the circumstances surrounding it, Bear knows he will do anything in his power to keep her safe and knows it is only a matter of time before he claims her as his own.
This was great, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Liked all the characters in this book and thought Bear was pure alpha male.
For a first time author, she did amazing! I live every aspect of the story, if you’re the type that love Insta Love than this is for you, well done!
*WARNING* contains cussing and violence
To be honest, the cover is what me download this book, so I certainly wasn’t expecting such an amazing story! Bear and Hawk are twins, but couldn’t be more different. These characters are great. They are big, burly, handsome bikers. They treat their women/partner respect and are totally loyal.
Rose has amazing strength for all she’s gone through. The storyline is interesting. The plot twist toward the end was sad. I will be reading the next in this series!
This was pretty much everything I was looking for in a light MC book: there’s the alpha male, the family aspect of their brotherhood, and some drama that keeps you drawn in to the book. If I didn’t start it so late at night I would have blown through this book in one sitting, but my son saw to it the next morning that that wouldn’t happen. It was fast paced, definitely didn’t feel like there were any parts that dragged. I do wish though that it had been longer- there were parts that could have been expanded upon but really overall a great book. Even with not being a long book you were still able to fall in love with so many of the characters. I was over here laughing out loud at some parts because of these personalities that we have here. It was such a great introduction to this crew and I can’t wait to hear the other guy’s stories. I was blown away with how much I liked this book having been the first book released from this author since there are normally some growing pains of coming around to find themselves, but I’m glad I was I found it.. .now to wait for the rest of the series to come out!

First time Author Carol Dawn has just made herself a new fan. Wow i absolutely loved this book from the very beginning. The story is heart breaking and sad but the love of one Alpha biker by the name of Bear helps heal the broken beauty that is Rose.
For 25 yrs Rose was held against her will and beaten and broken by her sadistic and cruel father . Not even knowing her own name only called “GIRL” her entire life she lived behind closed doors and not allowed to show her face. To the world she didn’t exist.
Learning that she was to be sold on her 25th birthday to a man who was more evil then her father Rose new she had to escape or die trying. And she did escape , in the middle of the night with only a thin nightgown covering her tiny body she ran and kept running until she ran into a building that was warm and surrounded by big alpha biker’s.
Bear and his brothers took in the tiny woman drenched in panic and fear her tiny body shivering Bear new right at that moment he found his sweet sweet Rose. He took her under his protection gave her a name and helped her over come her fears and self doubts. He did what he did best and slayed her demons but it came at a cost neither of them saw coming. I honestly loved this story i couldn’t put it down . The story line was solid the cast of characters are strong relatable caring and compassionate each one of them brought their own mix to the line up and i can’t wait to read more by this Author. Hands down for her first book she knocked it out of the ball park.Carol Dawn
This book was amazing. This is the first in the series. It is a new author to me. I actually reread the book because it was so good the first time. Bear is a protector from the moment he lays his eyes on Rose. He shows her nothing but love and kindness. It is not just Rose and Bear who I fell in love during the book but all members of the mc. Can’t wait to see what the future holds
Rose and Bears story is so sweet. Rose is running it’s the first time shes ever been outside and she runs into Bear who takes one look and wants to keep and protect her. Rose’s backstory is heartbreaking but with Bear by her side hell help her fight her demons both real and mental.
I forget who recommended this book, but I was blown away. I could not put it down till the last page. So happy I was brought aware of this author!
An Ambitious & Heartfelt First Book from a Promising New Author… Every so often I come across a book for which the reviews confuse me and make me shake my head at the seeming endless pit of shallowness that exists within humanity. “Bear’s Forever”, by Carol Dawn, is one such book. Why? Because it is a magnificent story. One far beyond the typical MC romance. One about survival, and overcoming horrific past deeds. A story about keeping your inner self strong regardless of what is done to your body; and keeping your heart open regardless of how many times it is betrayed and broken.
This is the story of Landon “Bear” Allington, president of the Infernal Sons MC, and Rose, a young woman running from horrific circumstances. Held prisoner her entire life behind locked doors by her father. Forced to endure years of emotional and physical torture. Here Rose, after an unexpected lapse in her captor’s security, flees into the freezing cold night and runs, and runs, and runs, right into Bear and his brothers. And once under Bear and the Infernal Son’s protection, what follows is a fast paced, suspenseful tale of trust, healing, perseverance, revenge, and second chances at life. It is truly a wonderful story. One that is brave and about far more than underlying love story contained within it.
Is it far-fetched as written? A bit yes. Is it a tad choppy, the finer points, at times, unclear, uneven, and overly simplistic? Also yes. However, the overarching story is beautiful. A testament to this new author’s obvious heartfelt love for her characters.
The compassion and care Bear gives to Rose drips off the page and leaves you aching. How he comes to give her, her nickname, beyond sweet. Rose’s soulful sweetness, and faith in Bear despite her own trauma, poetically written and delicately tender. And their joint resolve to overcome and heal, honest and pure.
No this book is not your typical MC romance, dripping with sex scenes from start to finish. Why? Because this story is about something much more important. It’s about survival, regaining trust, and gaining the strength to move on to the one great love patiently waiting. The love standing by your side, protective and unwavering in its loyalty, no matter what. It’s about reclaiming a life buried deep within but never snuffed out by the abuse it endured.
And yes, I have read through many of the reviews for this book. And honestly, I am flabbergasted at some of the hostility and the lack of understanding about what it’s really all about. It saddens me to see people so quick to cast off a book as poignant as this one, simply because it isn’t dripping with sex from cover to cover. It absolutely angers me to see people question the reactions of the female protagonist for “not reacting correctly” to the abuse she endures at the hand of her father. It is an ignorant reaction born from lack of knowledge about how and why abuse survivors think and feel the way they do.
There is NO “correct” way to deal with abuse! You deal with it as you need to, in your own way, and in your own time! And as such, Dawn’s portrayal of Rose’s reactions are neither offensive or wholly unbelievable. They. Simply. Are. As they should be!
In my opinion, this is a stellar first book from a promising writer. A book that deserves to be read and honored for what it is, not persecuted unfairly for what it is not!
This book started off great. It was a unique idea and the way the author was able to tell it really grabbed my attention. I really loved the MC guys, Bear and Hawk in particular. However, I didn’t care for Rose’s character as she felt like the constant victim and not really changing. Overall, this story had great bones but it did lack depth. I wish that more time was spent on fostering relationships and character development to allow readers to really connect with the characters and fall completely in love with this book. I still enjoyed reading it and I will keep an eye out for more in the future.
