Stella Bailey is a fierce, independent woman on the run from her crazy ex-boyfriend, turned stalker. Bitter about having to leave her life in the city behind, she heads to the snowy mountains of Idaho for solitude. Without technology available to keep her mind busy, she finds her thoughts lingering on her past more and more, until she meets the owner of the cabin where she resides and then her … entire world changes.
But with the new distraction comes thoughts and plans about the future, possibly one with him… even if it means being willing to accept the secrets he keeps beneath the surface.
Brady Eastern grew up in a small cabin just above the hot springs in the Silver Creek Campground area. After inheriting the property once his grandfather passed away, Brady had enjoyed keeping to himself and letting the bear he had kept tucked away inside of him wander the woods freely. Life couldn’t have been more perfect, until she showed up and nothing was ever the same again.
Brady and Stella will join together to free her from a past that was getting too close for comfort, and help her find the ultimate goal: sanctuary.

Finding Sanctuary is my first book by this author and I loved it! Love the characters, the storyline flowed nicely and the writing is great. The connection between Brady and Stella is beautiful and as a reader I could feel every emotion pouring off the pages. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
First book in new series from Jules Tyler.
Following the break up and assault by her ex partner, Stella has fled her home in Seattle to the the mountains and security of childhood memories spent with her loving grandfather in silver creek.
Stella is searching for herself, a way to become the strong person she was. What she finds alongside that is a childhood friend. One who shared long idling summers and sweet childhood memories, until it all ended when her grandfarther and only family member passed away.
Brady has always wondered what happened to Stella, knowing she was important all those years ago. So when he stumbles across her in one of his cabins he is stunned. Reunited in past friendship they work together to overcome Stella’s fears. Until he has to overcome one of his own….that she will run and be lost to him again when she finds out his secret.
A beautifully written book about old friendship evolving in to new love.
The relationship between Stella and Brady was sweet and I thought the evolution from friends to lovers was done exceptionally well. Stella’s concerns were real… there is nothing scarier than putting you heart in the hands of someone else, especially for someone who has suffered a traumatic past and so in that respect I must commend the author on writing such ‘a real reaction’.
I really enjoyed first in series. The shifter genre is often copied and imitated but this author has tamed the beast, kicked its ass and made it her own….A DRAGON!
Brady and Stella are everything to each other, innocently spending summers together at Brady’s family’s campground. Life goes on and Stella is lost to him, just when he comes to realize who she is in his life.
This is a lovely story that begins a promising series, by Jules Tyler.
How sweet is this book?! Stella comes to a mountain retreat, where she used to go with her Grandfather, to escape her violent boyfriend. What she didn’t realize is that her childhood friend still lives there and has never forgotten her. Brady is one of the sweetest polar bears (can I really call a polar bear sweet?) and is trying to break it to Stella that she’s his mate.
I read this in one sitting, even though it wasn’t as action packed as some books are the love story is sickly sweet, but there’s still enough edge to the characters and the story to keep it from giving you a sugar shock. Besides Stella and Brady I absolutely loved Mama Ally, who reminds me of how I want to be as a Mom.
I loved it and can’t wait to see what Jules Tyler cooks up with the next one!
