Carrie Dalton needed this job. She needed this job bad. But even she couldn’t kid herself: she stuck out like a sore thumb in this biker bar, full of men who had more warrants than kind words. Right as she thought she was getting the hang of things, she went tail over teakettle with a full tray of beers. Thankfully she was caught by the best looking six and a half foot mistake she’d ever seen.… ever seen. Nothing wrong with a little fun, right? Not like it could last. And those golden eyes…
Brian Cross didn’t come to the bar tonight for distractions. He just wanted to handle some Iron Fur Clan business and maybe drink away a little sorrow. Then the new waitress almost killed herself on her first night on the job. Brian always had a soft spot for the underdog, and for her to come into this den of bears showed some backbone. It didn’t hurt that his eyes were constantly drawn to her thick hips and ample curves.
Before they can get to really know each other, a rival motorcycle club threatens their relationship and their very lives.

I received this book, this is my voluntary review.
Road Bears is a quick and enjoyable read. It has vivid imagery that allowed me to get lost in the story. It offers action, drama, humor, and romance that kept me entertained. Carrie is a fierce woman in need of a new job, and gets one at a shifter bar unbeknownst to her. When she runs into Brian, their attraction is undeniable. I appreciated the progression of their relationship, as well as their journey towards happiness. Definitely, looking forward to seeing what the next book has to offer.
Good story to fill in an hour or so. I liked that it did not follow the traditional shifter “rules.” I also really enjoyed the characters. It was a fast read, but an enjoyable one.
I liked it, but it was a bit lacking on details. Therevwere many opportunities to expand the story and make it a bit richer. I assume, being that this is the first in the series (and free), that it was meant to be more of a “taster” story then a full lenght one. It was still worth the read.
I also would not consider this an MC read, or on the very edge at least. He was in an MC, had a cut and had biker friends, but that was it. No real “brother” connection or club plot. There were also a few editing errors that cought my attention. I will read more in this series and by this author.
Very short, but entertaining.
Brian is the leader of a shifter biker clan (wasn’t ever made clear!) didn’t really get his take on the story, he was a tattooed badass bear, but it didn’t really come across that much. (I’ve been reading MC books lately, and I compared it to them, and they were sadly lacking!)
Carrie has a little more to her, after losing the job she loved, she’s now a waitress! First night the bar is packed and she’s run off her feet! Not watching what she’s doing she spills beer all over this massive biker!! But instead of shouting at her, he helps clean her wound from the broken glass,and tells the other guys he’s with to clear up the mess.
Brian and his gang are a constant in the bar now, and look out for her. It’s not until they are on their own are they accosted by a gang of bigotry bikers!! (They hate the shifters and want them all dead) The leader tries to take Carrie away from them, but she tells them no!
A short story about a bear and a waitress! Throw in a biker gang that want to kill the shifters in town, and you have the makings of a really good book.
Solid characters, good storyline. A quick couple of fight scenes, the obligatory sex scenes.
The backstory had more content than the actual story told us (the bears never discussed business, and why was Brian drinking away his sorrow?) although in the books defence the beers were spilt before discussions and sorrows were vented)
I did like it, I would have liked it more if it had been longer!
