She is starting over but there is a surprise with her new town
Resting Bear Face is a sweet insta-love story between Ace and Chloe. This single father to a young cub has more than enough on the go when he also has some added duties that are going to require him hiring a nanny. In comes Chloe, about the exact opposite of what he was expecting. Chloe has left her high paying legal job in the big city to start over in a small Colorado town. What she did not know is that the town she chose is filled with shifters and her new boss, also the town mayor, in the pack leader. Before long they are having some fun but there is some danger happening around the town.
This is a fast-paced shifter story with a bit of danger, mystery and suspense. There were a few things that I sort of scratched my head about but overall I enjoyed this book.
BTW – not sure about anyone else but the baby on the cover freaks me out. If I was the author I would make a change to this one as I almost passed this book over just because of the face………..it is definitely not “resting”.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is Ace and Chloe’s story. Ex-lawyer current mayor and pack leader. Another beautifully written story by Sophie Stern. Just sorry it took so long for me to read it. This couple will make you feel so good about life and love that you can’t help but want to read it again.
Chloe is a successful solicitor when her life is devastated when her parents and brother are killed in a tragic car accident. So she decides to make more changes in her life. The first being to relocate to the ‘middle of nowhere’and be an office assistant. She makes friends with Jenna who is the mayor’s sister and she explains to Chloe why people keep staring at her – she is the only human in a shifter town! She wants to move out of the hotel that she’s staying in and Jenna suggests that she applies to be her nephew’s nanny as his mother is dead and his Dad is struggling to juggle his job and being a single Dad. Oh my gosh – the chemistry between these two is off the charts and Jenna’s ‘plan’ to set her new friend up with her brother, Ace, seems to be working out extremely well. The banter is witty and flirty and great fun to read. This is one of many books that I have read by Sophie Stern and it was a fast paced read with plenty of delicious innuendo. The fact that this is a bear shifter story makes it even more special for me as they are my favourites. I look forward to reading more of Sophie’s wonderful stories.

I really enjoyed this romance about a bear shifter falling for his live in nanny. Both characters had major tragedies in their lives but they got through it together. Their chemistry was instant and steamy. The background plot kept the book a page turner and I was glad everything was solved at the end. Only wished the epilogue was a little more detailed but all in all the book was a great read.

That’s all i thought about as i read this story. An alpha, Ace, who is lost his mate and is one a single father. A cub who needs a mother to nourish and keep him safe when his dad is not around. Finding appropriate childcare is ridiculous for humans let alone a shifter. So maybe a nanny or babysitter might have to do for the moment. Enters Chloe. She is from the city wanting to slow things down and regroup for the sake of sanity. Nothing can shock her after being an attorney from the big city but the alpha who is drawing her attention. A grizzly no less. Aren’t they supposed to be the most feared bear or is that any bear with the taste of human blood on their tongue. Oh well. Adventure awaits to find solutions to the land, child and hearts for Chloe and Ace.

What a great book! Chloe and Ace have a fast paced romance, but that’s the way it is with shifter romances. The story drew me in from page one.

This is a wonderful and merry romp that takes you back to Colorado. I laughed, cried and was on the edge of my seat with the action and love being shown on this novella. I cannot wait to see if there will be more set in this town.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Ace needed a nanny, Chloe needed somewhere to live after moving to a small town. The chemistry between them is intense but Ace cannot have her, he is a shifter and she is human. Can they resist or stop fighting the inevitable?
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

Chloe leaves her job and home to try to avoid the feelings she has about loosing her family and ends up in Beeswax, Colorado. Ace is the alpha bear shifter of the small town who is still mourning the loss of his mate and mother to his child. The title of the book doesn’t really tell you anything about the story so if you are confused about what it means, it doesn’t matter. The chemistry between them is instantaneous but they don’t know the entire story because they don’t have each other’s full name. There are cute/funny scenes between Chloe and Jemma, Ace’s sister. There is one scene with a certain amount of gore and a little violence but they are not major parts of the book.

This book is about two people who have suffered great loss that find their happiness in each other. Chloe lost her entire family and is looking for a new start. Ace lost his mate and the mother of his child and is struggling to carry on. There is confusion in how they meet each other and bad guys who want to hurt the town. It all comes together in a HEA. There are some editing issues so I took off for that. All in all I recommend this book.

Chloe has a hard time coping with the loss of her family due to a car accident, and wants a fresh start with nothing to remind her of her family.
She chooses a small town, Beeswax, unaware that it is a mostly shifter town. to be able to find a place to live she agrees to an on-call nanny service to the mayor of town, which comes with a small apartment.
As expected by the reader, there is a mating in the air …
A fun story, nothing new or exciting, but well-written and entertaining.

Like all of Sophia Stern’s books they are all new and exciting. This is a fast paced story about Chloe who needs a change in her life. She moves to a small town and works as an assistant, and part time nanny for room and board. Ace ended up becoming a single dad, something that he didn’t plan for. Chloe is the nanny for Ace and she is in for a surprise when she finds that she is now living in a shifters town. There is mystery, adventure, action, and a man and woman who are falling in love with each other. Great story, you won’t be disappointed.

Chloe needs a fresh start after suffering tragedy. She moves to Beeswax and runs into Ace, who has not moved on from his own heartache. Resting Bear Face is an enjoyable romance with some intriguing suspense. I recommend Resting Bear Face.
