OliI didn’t know her, what she looked like, where she was, but I knew my mate was out there. And it was that truth that had me saving myself for her. Only her. If I couldn’t fully give myself over to my fated mate, what kind of worthy male was I? But staying in town, hidden deep within the forest, wouldn’t bring my mate to me. I had to go and find her. I had to make her mine.India As a former … mine.
India
As a former foster child, I never had real family, no roots. I’d always felt like something was missing, so I worked hard on helping others. My mobile medical van was where my passion lay. It’s how I made sure no one else felt helpless.
But when my van was broken into, and my safety compromised, it was a big bear shifting male who came to the rescue.
Oli said I was his. He claimed I was his mate. He seemed certain of it just by looking at me. It was insanity, but I couldn’t deny the pull I felt for him, the way my body craved his.
Pushing him away wasn’t an option, not when he was always there, watching me, making sure I was protected. And it was that need inside of me, the one that grew and consumed me, that finally had me giving in. I soon realized being mated to a bear shifter meant he was grumpy, protective, possessive, and wanted only one thing.
Me.

Searching for his mate
I am so in love with these grizzly brothers. They are all gorgeous, alpha males who turn into butter when they finally find their mates. The author outdid herself with Oli. He is this gentle soul who has saved himself for his mate, luckily for him she saved herself as well. These two come together and find their HEA, making a life they both crave. I can’t wait to read about the rest of the boys.

A BEARly tamed Grizzly goes in search of his mate
Oli is happy for his two brothers who have found their mates, but he’s gotten to the point where he thinks he should travel the country and try see if this will bring him closer to his mate. Oli finds India in California when he discovers her in a medical van in a parking lot close to the beach
I liked this story as I feel Oli going in search of his mate was better than just letting their mates find them in their small town where they live. Three brothers down, three to go
Nothing like a possessive bear shifter to make a girl feel like she was his world.
Loved this story and these two…
Oli had to venture out to look for his mate, he could not sit back anymore he had to find her
India runs her own medic van, helps those with minor injuries..she knows something is missing from her life but doesn’t know what.
Almost giving up on his search Oil notices the medic van he has seen before and feels a pull towards it. On closer inspection he realizes he smells his mate inside, scared and hiding because the van was ransacked.
India knows she has not met or seen this man before, but is confused on how she feels instantly safe around him. The emptiness feeling is gone , her fear leaving.
Oli Takes India As His Mate
The BEARly Tamed Grizzly is book 3 of the Bear Clan series…Jenika Snow wrote it…..and Kevin Creekman is on the cover….Duh!!!! it’s a no-brainer…
So…Oli is another brother in the Bear Clan…Obviously, he, too, is a bear shifter who wants….who needs to find his mate….. like, yesterday….and he leaves home for the first time and, in his search, travels from the Bear clan’s mountains in Colorado to a California beach….
India is all alone in the world and is mobile van nurse who helps those less fortunate with minor medical care….When a drunk roughs her up and ransacks her van looking for stuff to sell for drugs, Oli finds his mate…and India is it…Another good book for this series….
Man, I wish there really were shifters like this out there….what I wouldn’t do to have this in my life. I am glad I can at least live through these books!
Sweet, Sexy, & Most Definitely Swoon Worthy… The third installment in Jenika Snow’s, Bear Clan series. “The BEARly Tamed Grizzly” is the mating story of Oli and India. Oli being another of the six Colorado Rockies Bear Clan brothers featured in this series. And India, a California nurse and former foster kid working on filling the crushing emptiness within her through helping others.
This story is a departure from the first two of the series. As unlike the first two installments, where the brothers were secretly trying to deal with the negative emotions of not yet having their mates. Here we see brother Oli taking matters into his own hands and traveling away from their mountain home in search of his mate, rather than waiting for his mate to come to him. And travel he does, all the way to sunny California where encounters India working in her medi-van.
This installment is definitely tamer than the first two. It’s almost sweet and gentler than the others, more in keeping with brother Oli’s laid back personality. However, it is still a wonderful example of author Jenika Snow’s alpha rich storytelling. And in keeping with this series in general, it is still indulgently filthy and full of the growly alpha obsessiveness as only Snow can write.
It’s a sweet and sexy, fast paced, swoon worthy, fated mate driven story sure to make paranormal loving readers with an unbending love for strong, larger-than-life, feral shifter men sigh with happiness 🙂
