Mating SeasonMorgan Clan Bears, Book 1Drake Morgan has kept his family secret from the humans for eternity, having no desire to put their existence out into the open like the other shifterkind. He lives a solitary life with his two brothers hidden on his farm deep in the backwoods of Northern Mississippi.Every spring, their bears call to prepare their home for the arrival of a mating season. The … arrival of a mating season. The search for their mates begins, and Drake has to rethink his disgust of humans when one of their females show up on his land, scenting of his destined mate. Morgan’s bear demands he keep her for himself, but he knows she will never accept his true nature.
Tessa Ward moved to this little town to hide from her abusive ex, taking two jobs to pay rent and put food on the table. Her position at the local parts store sends her into the heart of the country to make one simple delivery to the local farmer, Drake Morgan. Upon arrival, she is thrown into the world of the paranormal after one touch from the bear shifter and she finds out his true nature.
Mating season has arrived, and Drake is prepared to fight for the woman who is fated to be his bride. When his mate’s ex comes lurking around his sacred property, Drake will stop at nothing until his female is safe, even if it means killing a human…not that he cares for them anyway.

Theresa Hissong has left the pride for a short excursion to a bunch of grumpy bears and I loved it! The bears made an appearance in the previous pride books, but now the reader gets to know them better and how they tick. Drake Morgan and his two brothers generally like to keep to themselves, even though that makes finding a mate fairly difficult. Rex and Gunner, his younger brothers go out more than Drake in the hope of finding a mate. Drake definitely didn’t expect his mate to just drive up onto his property. Not only is Tessa on the run from a nasty ex, but she’s human. Drake has a deep-seated hatred for humans, can Tessa change his mind? I loved this addition to the Rise of the Pride series. I can’t wait for the next one.
This is Book 1 in the Morgan Clan Bears and it was fantastic. I love her Pride series, but I think Drake and his brothers are going to my new favorite guys. Drake hates humans because they killed his parents. Will he come to realize that all humans aren’t bad? The bears haven’t come out to the public yet, so the family stays away from town. Now he meets Tessa. She’s been running from her ex-husband when she gets to Drake’s town. She likes the town and the people so she’s staying right here. The works hard at the diner and the local parts store and then she meets Drake. The chemistry between them is as hot as a Mississippi summer night. There’s so much going on from the beginning to the end and you won’t put it down until you read the last word. I see Theresa Hissong has another great series on her hands. I can’t wait to read more in this series.
I totally enjoyed this book. Lots of detail. Could be a stand alone, has characters from the Rise of the Pride Series, Reading that, you would know them better, but not necessarily needed to read this book. The way Drake took care of his mate melted my heart. My Jimmie draws a bath for me all the time. Not your average Bear. From a True Fan… Pam James.
