BLURB:
After Ben’s mates are murdered, Red and Quentin quickly move in to comfort the human. Their animal instinct drives them closer—because they realize Ben is now meant for them. They watch over and protect the broken man, allowing him to mourn and grieve for the love he lost, ever hopeful they’ll one day be able to claim what is theirs.
Ben eventually senses their connection, once the haze of despair begins to fade. Yet he cannot stop the guilt that causes from consuming him. He clings to the pain and memory of what was, instead of allowing himself to think of what could be.
When Ben attempts to leave Bear Mountain behind, his bears race to stop him. He knows he has nothing left to give them and demands they let him go. So Red and Quentin make him an offer—he can go if he agrees to one night in their arms.
Can he possibly leave after that?
REVIEW:
Yahoo! The series is back. As any of you who follow my reviews will probably remember, a couple weeks ago when I reviewed Promised to Two Bears, I was less than enthused. For reasons which I stated in that review, I didn’t find that particular installment up to the normal standards of this series and author.
I’m super happy to say, that is not the case on this new installment. I very much liked the story told in this installment, and was so happy to see Ben finally get a happy ending. OOPs, if that counts as a spoiler, too bad.
Ben’s mates were murdered as you recall by Traylon and Oberon back when those two bad bears were still alive. I didn’t realize until this book that Traylon and Eli, who was one of Ben’s murdered mates, were cousins. So Traylon’s greed didn’t know bounds even within his own extended family.
Ben has felt lost since Mick and Eli were killed. Moving through life in a shadow, never moving out into the light, even though it is being offered by the bear community. Red and Quentin in particular have been helping out and keeping him safe.
- But is there more to it than that? Can a human who loses his bears be granted a new set of bear mates?
- What will happen when Ben finds Red and Quentin in their “play room”? I liked the introduction of the mild BDSM to the story.
- Will they be able to find Ben once he runs away from Bear Mountain?
- Finally, at long last we found out how old Joshua is…and it is a lot older than the bears have been conjecturing!
I seriously liked this installment, and now I’m again willing to say I recommend it, and recommend the series. You might even love the one I wasn’t crazy about. I’m eagerly going to be waiting for the next installment in this one. I still have no idea who is slaughtering the deer shifters on the nearby reservation! Inquiring minds want to know!
