So here is another series by Theresa Hissong and I was not sure how this would go. So we have Drake Morgan and his brothers who are getting waking up from hibernation and getting things ready for the upcoming season. Now it is also the time where they will try and find his mate. Now Drake is a grizzly bear shifter and he has some issues. We learn a lot about him and his family. Drake is not a people person and does not like people on his land or space. He definitely despises humans. Which you will find out why. However, fate is funny and decides that he needs a mate and she happens to be human. It is funny how he reacts to her. Now lets meet Tess, she is sweet and caring. She is also hiding a secret and she is still running from that. She is also sassy and inquisitive. Now these two have this pull to each other and they fight it at first. That is until circumstances pushes them to be together. Now what will Drake do to keep her safe? Well lets just say that he definitely found the one to keep him on his toes. We do get a happily ever after and I loved it.
The characters and the idea is a good read, but the plot was easy to predict with no twists or surprises. There are some steamy scenes. I’m the everyday interactions adding the bits of dominant and “yes sir” in there didn’t feel right to me. It was nice to see the crossover with the Rise of Pride series.
Great read
A quick story. The first book I’ve read of a Dom/Sub shifter story. Wasn’t bad. Just nothing really jumped out as exceptional. Thus, three stars. I was still recommend reading this for a fast fun read.
Just was not the book for me; predictable and unbelievable.
The blurb showed such promise….at times, feels as if there are 2 writers instead of just one.
Odd, stilted writing at times and did not like that she had to be submissive.
Liked the book and the family, didn’t like the dom aspect.
Had a little trouble getting into this one. It was entertaining.
A fun read
Can’t wait to read more books in this world.
It started off strong but the plot was weak and the “bad guy” was laughable.
Crap, written like a teenager. Uses four letter words for ‘love’. Did not enjoy at all.
Easy read
This book was just right (lol). Drake had some bumps to get over to claim his mate. Tessa has some past abuses get over. Between the two of them with the help of Drakes two brothers and the Pride they have a great community.
It was a very good book I enjoyed it but I enjoyed Albert books
Loved it! I have added this author to my favorites list, Highly recommend.
Just could not get into it.
Sorry, but did not like the pic on the cover. Did not fit my pic of the hero. Otherwise a great read.
Fun romantic escapism.
