Books by Zoe Chant have really nice, deserving people for main characters, inventive settings, and a wide variety. These are my go-to books for feel-good reads. Bodyguard Bear was my introduction to Chant, and luckily for me, there are 5 other books in this series. And even better, she’s prolific, with lots of other series as well.
My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 Unicorns – I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!
This cover is fabulous with both beasts on it! This happens to be my favorite kind of cover because you know what kind of shifter you are getting and that it is definitely a shifter read! I own this whole series!
This is the first book in this series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.
Zoe Chant’s books are fast becoming my standard for picking a book that I can finish in one setting. Her books always leave me feeling happy with my heart warmed.
Ellie is a paramedic with integrity who is insanely brave. Hal is a bear who takes his job seriously and his mate even more so! This story was action packed and as always I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series!
I highly recommend to anyone if you have liked any of Zoe’s books so far, and if you haven’t what are you waiting for, her books rock!
** spoiler alert ** After witnessing a murder, Ellie needs protection. Hal grew up in the backwoods, but is determined to not return. Their attraction is instant. Will Hal be able to keep Ellie safe? Will Ellie accept Hal’s shifter side?
Loved Hal and Ellie. Loved Hal’s dedication to protecting her and his soft side even though he is this big bear shifter. I thought Ellie was a great counterpart to him due to her strength and calmness. Great read!

This may have been my first time reading Zoe Chant’s work but it certainly won’t be my last! This story grabbed my attention right out of the gate and held my interest completely from beginning to end! The narrative is extremely well well written in the third person with alternating his and her points of view. The dialogue is smart, snappy, well executed and flows effortlessly. The entire book is well crafted and exceptionally well edited. The characters are captivating, intriguing, engaging, endearing and most definitely swoon-worthy. The story is exciting, fast-paced, action-filled, seductive and romantic. And did I mention hot? No? Well, it’s hot! Chant skillfully combines these elements into a delightfully entertaining paranormal romance filled to the brim with heart-stopping danger, spine-tingling suspense, heart-pounding adventure, heated attraction, fiery passion, sweet romance, a dash of humor and a little old fashioned bear bonding. What didn’t I love about this story? Not a darn thing!
Bear shifter and former Navy Seal Hal Brennan is satisfied with his life. Unfortunately, his parents are not! They don’t like him living in the city.
