Ben and Penny’s story has lots of twists. Penny’s history affects how she reacts and Ben’s bear can be overpowering but in the end they are stronger together. Another great book in the series.
I absolutely love Ben and Penny’s story! It breaks my heart at the same time that I love seeing how they finally come together. I love that they have similar insecurities. I love that Penny is shy and Ben is more dominant. This is an amazingly sweet and sexy story!
Four and a half stars.
Book three in the Blackstone Mountain series finds Penny working in the shifter bar. Ben thinks his bear is a monster. But Penny is his mate. For all her life traumas Penny is a strong young woman just trying to get by. Of course, Ben is quite the opposite, being a cousin to the Blackstone Dragons. But he is so sweet and kind to her, how can he be a monster? I am enjoying this series very much and so I’m off to read the next book.
Falling for the Grizzly
The Blackstone Mountain Series has become my new and favorite addiction! I just can’t get enough and each book leaves me loving all the characters that much more!!
I was really excited for Ben’s story from the moment I met him I couldn’t wait for him to find his mate and the best part was that Penny fell for his bear before really falling for him!! I would love to curl up next to this big ole grizzly bear!!
It’s also great seeing the overall story of the series progress and take you into what’s to come! I am excited the next one!
I love Ben. Big, protective, easy going, cuddly, loving…have I forgotten anything? Oh, yea, extremely handsome and sexy. He’s been having difficulty maintaining control of his bear lately. Instead of talking to his family to figure out what’s happening, he’s gonna try to handle it on his own. Penny is a waitress at The Den, the local shifter bar. When she sees him, it’s instant attraction. When Ben notices her, it’s after ex-classmates harass her and he loses control and tears up the bar and put the guy in the hospital. They both believe the other is better off without them. Thankfully family sticks their noses in and helps out. We see a different side of Luke and I loved that. I loved this book. I can’t wait to read Luke’s story. I recommend this book and the whole series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
Loved this book. This is Ben and Penny’s story. Penny is timid and seems quite lost. her father and grandmother have both recently passed away and she doesnt really know what to do with herself. She has had a traumatic past that still effects her now and makes her feel as if no one could love or want her. You cant help but want her to be happy. Ben describes himself as a monster, his bear is abnormally huge and out of control thanks to his dragon blood and that means that some people want to take the advantage of having such a huge bear in their clan. When it comes to Ben and Penny together then there is no one sweeter or more gentle than Ben. Their story is just so innocent with all the dates and penny being shy and Ben being respectful. They are so cute together. I highly recommend this book and author. I volunteered to read an ARC of this book and I was not obligated to leave this review.
Wow!!! Ben is the sweetest bear. I don’t usually go for sweetness but Alicia wrote it perfectly for it not to be annoying.
Penny is a perfect fit for Ben.
I can’t wait for Nathan’s story.
I love shifters, and when the third in the series released, I had to snatch it up. Ben and Penny’s story had me very excited. I think this is my favorite in the series so far. We travel back in time a bit to when Ben and Penny first encounter each other. This was handled beautifully, to interweave the time they met in previous stories, to the present time. I wasn’t lost and thought it flowed nicely into the present day.
Penny comes back home and finds a job as far away from her nightmare as possible. She was written as a kind character with a lot of heart and compassion. She was genuine and vulnerable. How she grew in the story was sweet beyond words. Her strength and smarts came out at the end and showed her just who she really was. I love how her personality was written. The author did a fantastic job of making Penny’s issues shine without feeling like it was the ONLY thing in the story. I like backstory and growth, and Penny had that.
Ben, the bear, is one of my favorite characters in this series. One thing I find enjoyable is how his personality fit that of a bear. If that makes sense… Ben had this loveable personality and just wanted to provide comfort and protect those he considers family. Even the tiny mention about how much he sleeps, had me chuckling thinking, ‘yup, he’s all bear.’ How he comes to be there for Penny, moves me as a reader. He was patient, kind, and had such love for Penny. All he was willing to do just so she could feel safe, made your heart swell.
The author surprised me with this story. There were moments where the characters had the willies, and I was thinking ‘oh no, what’s going to happen.’ I was surprised as a reader, and that doesn’t happen often. There were different layers and threats in this story, that wove together and overlapped. It really was very well written and leads to the feeling that something bigger is coming.
4.5 stars. Background story that was building from previous books slightly overlooked.
Good story and enjoyable read.
Poor Penny, traumatised at 16 and then treated as a slut due to her mother’s bad choices.
Not much happening re the shifter hunters. Lykos pack came as security for the wedding of Jason and Christina but weren’t really in this book.
Ben was just such a sweetie pie, trying to take it slow so as not to traumatise Penny. Then having to deal with his horrible relatives. Loved him and it was sad he was carrying such a burden re his mother but it was nicely tidied up.
Nice to have a heroine with brains, driving to a safe place when followed and phoning for help when there was trouble.
Did like what happened to the stepfather and Penny’s mother.
Will be interesting to read how Nathan is going to get on with the snooty doctor.
WOW!! What a interesting and entertaining read I wasn’t expecting Ben’s book to be like that all. I absolutely love Ben and Penny . The struggle they both had to endure but to see them grow and come together as a couple was amazing. A fantastic book from start to finish with plenty of intrigue, suspense, action, and of course steamy romance. Looking forward to reading more books in this series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no minority compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
Simply breathtaking. This is Ben’s story. He thinks his bear is going crazy and the family is starting to worry about him, but that isn’t all that is wrong with him. He can’t get a certain smell out of his mind. Once again the characters are amazing, the setting is just right and the adventure will certainly put you in the middle of the story. Highly recommend for all shifter lovers.
