Catching Her Bear was just the start of Kalan Murdoch and Elana Stanley’s story. Follow along as Vella Day revisits this couple from Book 2 of the Weres and Witches series.To say werebear Detective Kalan Murdoch is stressed out would be an understatement. Between trying to solve murders, muggings, and miscellaneous crimes in Silver Lake, he wants to spend time with his two adorable kids and … adorable kids and beautiful mate. Too bad he fails most of the time. If only he could learn to juggle the job and his family, he’d be totally content.
Elana is also frustrated. While her floral shop is going well–okay better than well–things at home are not. Her super sexy mate, Kalan, works late almost every night, and their three-year old son keeps asking why his father isn’t home–and she can’t blame him for being upset. Elana wants more of Kalan too.
It isn’t until their home is broken into that Elana and Kalan have to work together to bring down the group responsible and to help save a friend who’s been taken by the Changelings. But will their journey be enough to save what connection they’ve lost?

Both werebear Detective Kalan Murdoch and his mate Elana is stressed out and frustrated. With work interfering, their home life is suffering and they can’t seem to find a way to juggle all the responsibilities of home and work. When their home is broken into, Kalan and Elana have to work together to bring down the group responsible and to help save a friend. But will their journey be enough to save what connection they’ve lost?
This romance is hot, passionate, emotionally gripping and oh so sweet as Kalan and Elana strive to reconnect as life continuously interferes. The chemistry between the two is definitely still there and still quite electrical so the passion in their lives when they find the time is still hot and steamy but the happy and warm feeling is missing as Elana and their children hardly ever get to spend time with Kalan which has lots of emotions flowing from the pages that readers can’t help but get caught up in.
The story is fast paced and has lots of suspense and excitement as well as a series of crimes has Kalan thinking that the Changelings are back and up to no good once again. Some unexpected twists keeps readers on their toes but it the emotionally gripping and heartwarming romance between Kalan and Elana that keeps readers glued to the pages of this story.
Vella Day is my all time favorite, and is at it again with this great addition to her Weres and Witches series.
I fell in love with Kalan Murdoch and Elana Stanley back in book 2 and was SUPER EXCITED to see them again in this book!! I was so glad their story was not over. The love these two have for each other is amazing….but like all things worth having, it’s never easy. Elana owns her own flower shop and puts in a lot of hours there, but always makes time for her family. Kalan however, is trying hard to make sure his family has everything they need, not realizing that he is sacrificing what they want most of all from him…..his time. He spends so much time at the station, that his family starts to worry that they will always come second in his life. It doesn’t help that the Changelings are at it again.
You do not need to read book 2 to enjoy this book, but honestly, go back and read it if you haven’t already. The whole series is amazing and so worth it.
Strong story line, awesome characters, fantastic detailed descriptions, and all in all an amazing read.
Would I recommend this book? Absolutely!!
Would I read more from this author? Absolutely!!
Sassy Beta Reading and Review
** spoiler alert ** Sometimes everyday life gets in the way. Kalan and Elana are trying to find who is after them, while balancing life, work and family. Will they find a balance?
Loved seeing this couple again and loved how this touched on everyday struggles couples have with a paranormal spin. I loved how both characters were determined to do what they could to get the spark back and to be the best parents and lovers they could be. Good read and can’t wait to see what this author comes out with next!
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Once I started I could not put the book down from start to finish you just could not get enough with twists and turns hot and steamy like a rollercoaster ride of emotions that makes you want more with Detective Kalan and Elena they are having trouble spending time with each other of an evening until someone broke into their house now they work together to find out who it was and get back something that was stolen from them.

This is a great addition to the Weres and Witches series by Vella Day. Kalen Murdoch and Elana Stanley fell in love back in book 2 of the series. The love they share is amazing and it was nice to catch up with them again a couple years down the time line (you don’t often if ever get to revisit a couple once their original story is written). Eland still owns her Flower Shop and Kalen is a Police Detective. Each knows they need to make more time for family as they are unhappy and frustrated with the current situation but the question is how? It’s a wake up call to them both when their house gets invaded and they need to work together to resolve the situation without someone getting hurt or killed. It’s a reminder to us that love needs to be nurtured and worked for every single day that we are blessed to have it. I am addicted to this series and can’t wait for the next one.

I first met Kalan and Elena in Catching Her Bear: Hidden Realms: A Hot Paranormal Fantasy (Weres and Witches of Silver Lake Book 2). Revisiting these to enjoyable characters was fun. A glimpse into what happens after the usual HEA. Kalan and Elena are still very much in love with two small children. Work and everyday life is taking it’s toll on the couples together time, throw in some intrigue and drama and things get even more hectic. The story is a testament to love, strenghth, and family.
Reawakening Their Bears by Vella Day is the twelfth book in the Weres and Witches of Silver Lake series. In this book, Kalan a bear-shifter and Homicide Detective working with the Silver Lake Sheriff’s Department is hard at work trying to solve crimes in Silver Lake. The problem is that his dedication to his job is affecting his home life and his relationship with his mate Elana and their children. When his mates flower shop is broken into and someone is kidnapped danger hits close to home he realizes that things need to change if he wants to keep his mate and family happy. This book is a suspense filled story that is exciting and fun to read with lots of adventurous crime solving and sizzling romance between these two mates. Reawakening Their Bears is an exciting story plus some sweet romance.
I love this series.

Highly entertaining, sexy, fun and engaging journey filled with danger, mystery, magic and passion…. a thrilling read from beginning to end. Really enjoyed every heart racing and exciting twist. Great reading!
An unusual book in a way, but so worth reading.
You may have already read how they met and fell for each other – Kalan and Elana. Everything seemed to hint to a HEA, but life has a way to cause trouble in paradise. Here trouble means to balance work and family, something frustrating both. This book is about their way to fight for a way to find the difficult balance. Mixed into the story are mystery and adventure – typical for the Silverlake stories.
A lovely read, especially if you are familiar with the Silverlake stories and their recurring lovable characters.

Another great book by Vella Day. I truly do love this series and it was great to see an update on Kalan and Elana.
It broke my heart the stress and disconnection that Elana was feeling. She had to feel so lonely in away.
When reading this I had to wonder if Kalan was even knew how much his family was missing him. How much he was really missing in on. I wanted to reach in the book and hit him upside the head and tell him to get it together.
I enjoyed reading about the different cases Kalan was working on and enjoyed reading how they were linking together.
If you love shifter books you will love this series. You will find so much in this book. From romance (and yes things get very heated), to murder, all the way to kidnapping. This book has a little of everything and a few surprises along the way.
This is the latest addition to the Weres and witches of silver lake series and once again we are connecting with Elana and Kalan

This sweet novella really makes it so that you take a lone look at your own relationships. I cannot wait to see where these books will go next. I laughed and cried with these characters as they moved from being stressed to falling in love all over again.

We first met Kalan Murdoch and Elana Stanley in the second book of this series, so now we get to revisit them and see how things are going.
Elana owns her own flower shop which has been very successful, but she makes sure to have time for her family. Kalan is trying to provide for his family and is trying to give them a quality life at the expense of his being there to enjoy them. When danger threatens the family in their home, the two of them need to join forces to solve the crime and make sure everyone stays safe.
This was a delightful story highlighting what is truly important for all of us – family. With the best of intentions, Kalan isolated himself from his family by working so hard to give them things when all they wanted or needed was his sharing his life with them. It’s a wake-up call that may touch many of us. The characters in the story are wonderful, and the story line was a good one. Grab your copy and join the family in reconnecting and confirming their love.
