If Caleb thinks she’ll take him … thinks she’ll take him back, he can forget it.

Bear shifter novella
Super short and sweet bear shifter novella that is well written with one POV and great characters. Definitely interested to see what happens next.
This was a fun, standalone shifter story with two strong characters. I loved that Shelby was a strong successful young woman in her own right. She inherited a flower shop from her Aunt Carol and, against her father’s advice, did not sell it but actually turned it around into a great business for herself.
Caleb was also a strong character, of course, but I appreciated the way he had to work at convincing Shelby he wanted to be a part of her life, even though he had left her so abruptly when they were young.
Again, I’d like to stress how refreshing it is to see female characters who are successful in their own rights and treated as such by those that love them!
A great read! I’m looking forward to reading more of Amber Belmont’s books!
Caleb left Shelby 7 years before during his first shift, He left without a word and never contacted her.. She had been devastated and was finally starting to move on somewhat when he reappeared at her Florist shop She wanted nothing to do with him but he reappeared at her shop asking her to let him explain what happened.. When she finally did let him explain everything, his sudden disappearance made sense, but would she be able to forgive him and trust him again and would she be able to accept that he really did love her and would never leave her again…
