Summary
A BIG Bear Romance。
He might growl， but she's not afraid to bite。
Hands full taking care of his clan， the last thing this Kodiak bear needs is a woman poking her cute little nose into his affairs。 But when she refuses to back down--and shows the courage to stand up to him--he can't resist the allure of a curvy city girl。
She's mine。 All mine。
And when a rival clan thinks to use her to force his paw， he'll show them why you never piss off a Kodiak， or threaten what's his。
Tammy is convinced all men are scum， even gorgeous ones like Reid Carver。 She knows he's hiding something。 Something big。 She just never expected a real freaking bear hid underneath all those yummy muscles。 But when the truth comes out and he tries to scare her off with a roar， she shows him not just bears have bite。

so you always have to change you mindset knowing that a lot needs to happen in a shorter amount of time。 So， yea you get some insta-lust， which does not bother me one bit。 Reed is a complete bossy， alpha-hole （which I love）。 He had some push in pull in his mind between going after what he wanted and his duty as an alpha。 But he was honest with Tammy the whole time， just not honest with his true feelings。 Yes he was an idiot and did extreme things like "ground" her from her phone。 Tammy is a decent heroine， especially in the beginning。 But she did start to bug me。 Okay， so I’m loving these curvy woman being our feisty heroines。 But I have to say， and I know not all will agree， I really can’t get down with hearing how “chubby” my heroine is the entire fucking book。 Seriously， she literally called herself chubby over and over again until the last chapter。 And it wasn’t in an “kiss my chubby ass” kinda way。 It was a complete bashing on herself。 She also constantly talked about how her ex talked about her weight。 I just wish she would have owned her size and amaziness - or at least once Reed told her he loved himself a curvy girl that she would have embraced it…。 She didn’t… This book was still a solid 3。5 book for me， until it wasn’t…。。 The ending… I’m going to put this in a spoiler warning here because…。 Well the author will be pissed I’m spilling the beans， but seriously， I have to talk about it…。。 。。。。。。LAST WARNING。。。。。。。。。。。Tammy gets kidnapped by the bad guy。 He knocks her unconscious。 When she wakes up she is strapped to a table and in horrible pain， and the bad guy tells her he is turning her to a shifter and basically says， Good Luck only 1 in 13 survive the transition。 He is making her one of his kind， so that every time Reed looks at her he will think of him and how he failed to protect her。 That is pretty traumatic right？Then we shift to Reeds POV， he comes in and sees her on the table， fights with bad guy to get to her。 During this fight a fire starts in the building and Tammy is suddenly whirled back to being a child where she watches her dad die in a cabin fire （unless I zoned out， this was not mentioned earlier in the story）。 So now her PTSD is kicking in and she is freaking out。 Also very traumatic right？ Then Reed gets hurt and she is all of sudden completely okay， no more pain from this transition。 Fire issue completely gone。。。 Fine， I can get down with that - heat of the moment women can pick up a fucking car to save their kids and shit， right？ Okay， so then bad guy gets away， Reeds tells her she is staying， she agrees。 Not once does she thinks to say “Hey that crazy lunatic said he was changing me into a shape shifter， is that true？”。 Oh and even though only 1 in 13 people survive the shift change because it is so awful， Tammy luckily only had about 3 mins of pain and then it was all good…。 SERIOUSLY THEY GO HOME AND JUST GET ON WITH IT！ And we never talk about said childhood fire trauma…。。 LIKE IT NEVER FUCKING HAPPENED - LIKE WHY THE FUCK WAS THIS EVEN IN THE STORY！Then the book fast forwards a bit （I don't know how long， I was getting kinda pissed at this point and the details were not sticking）， Tammy is playing with some kids and “roars” at said kids。 She freaks out and asks Reed about it…。 You want to know what he says。。。。 He just comes all blase and shit and says “You are a shape shifter” She shrieks like this is brand new info to her…。 Then he continues “I kind of suspected when I saw you strapped to the gurney， but I figured it out last night， your scent and extra vigor in bed kinda gave it away”Then 4 sentences later they are on to something else…。 Nope， that was it。 She was like "hmm， I thought he was kidding。" and then we just moved on。 Okay， I know I read a book about bear fucking shifters so asking for some realistic shit is kinda stupid but come on！！ That ending was just complete bullshit。 I totally didn't mean for this to be a long review， but sometimes shit just gets away with you。 I'm actually 90% certain my review is longer than the actual end of this book。 Whatever。 Moving the fuck on！ Instagram | My Blog | Facebook 。。。more

I love Eve Langlais's books and her sense of humor。 This series is about a clan of various types of shifters in Alaska。 It's not over the top silly like some of her books， but still has plenty of doses of funny banter and sexy times， with some good suspense thrown in。 Tammy is an insurance adjuster sent to Kodiak， Alaska after several trailers belonging to Reid Carver go missing。 The two have an instant attraction， but Tammy doesn't know that Reid is a bear shifter。 I likes how fearless and stro I love Eve Langlais's books and her sense of humor。 This series is about a clan of various types of shifters in Alaska。 It's not over the top silly like some of her books， but still has plenty of doses of funny banter and sexy times， with some good suspense thrown in。 Tammy is an insurance adjuster sent to Kodiak， Alaska after several trailers belonging to Reid Carver go missing。 The two have an instant attraction， but Tammy doesn't know that Reid is a bear shifter。 I likes how fearless and strong Tammy was - great characters in this book！ 。。。more

Bringing on the heatThe story is endearing， the characters amazing and the excitement and danger enthralling。 Overall this is a perfect beginning to a new series。 The only thing missing is a little more backstory about a few things， so we knew what drove them to their actions， but with 5 more books I’m sure the intensity will increase overtime。 I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to move onto the next one。

Ehh， there wasn't really much to this。 I don't think there was anything necessarily *bad* about it， it just wasn't all that great。 The start was okay， the set up was fine and the same could be said for everything beyond that point。 The main leads didn't really have any chemistry so I found myself hesitant to back their relationship - not to mention that everything occurred within about 3， maybe 4， days。 I also found the whole think Ursula and Jan did to be stupid， it just felt like a cheap way f Ehh， there wasn't really much to this。 I don't think there was anything necessarily *bad* about it， it just wasn't all that great。 The start was okay， the set up was fine and the same could be said for everything beyond that point。 The main leads didn't really have any chemistry so I found myself hesitant to back their relationship - not to mention that everything occurred within about 3， maybe 4， days。 I also found the whole think Ursula and Jan did to be stupid， it just felt like a cheap way for the author to make the main leads realise their interest - no thanks。 This entire book just felt like it was setting up for the next， which is okay in small quantities， but with this one， just nothing felt real。 Not to mention every two seconds Tammy would be going on about being chubby。 That would be fine had it been a plot point but it just wasn't。 We understand that she's giving men a break because her ex's had been judgmental about it， but that wasn't really an issue when Reid came into the picture。 He was fine from the get-go。 I'd also like to mention that it really bothers me that the author made such a big deal out of the chubby thing but then went and got the least chubby woman to ever exist to be on the cover。 No。 Thanks。 Overall。。。it was meh。 Even the sex scenes were boring and repetitive。 。。。more

Reid runs a shipping business but his trucks are going missing so when Tammy from the insurance company comes to investigate his claim， he's not expecting to feel instantly attracted to her。 Tammy got rid of her cheating boyfriend who put her down because of her weight。 Now she's investigating an insurance claim when she meets Reid and his grandmother。At first Tammy finds Reid to be big and intimidating but staying in his house with him and his grandmother has its advantages。 She ends up seeing Reid runs a shipping business but his trucks are going missing so when Tammy from the insurance company comes to investigate his claim， he's not expecting to feel instantly attracted to her。 Tammy got rid of her cheating boyfriend who put her down because of her weight。 Now she's investigating an insurance claim when she meets Reid and his grandmother。At first Tammy finds Reid to be big and intimidating but staying in his house with him and his grandmother has its advantages。 She ends up seeing a lot of him and getting to know him better and he can't seem to stop flirting with her。 Things are going well between them when she see's him change from bear to man and back again。 Reid and his people are all shifters and now Tammy knows about it。 Frankly she takes it better than I thought she would under the circumstances。 Reid fights his attraction for Tammy because he knows that being the alpha of his people means he should mate with a shifter but the connection he feels for her is intense and when she leaves and ends up missing， the bear in him really comes out。 This was so much fun and I really liked the twists that happen at the end of this book。 These two fight their attraction at first but then they admit that it's more than just attraction。 Some of the scenes between these two made me laugh out loud because they were so funny at times。 I love Eve Langlais and will continue to read hr books。 。。。more

I love a good shifter book and this was definitely one of those。 I really liked that she was a curvy girl but in saying that the woman on the cover doesn’t really match that and as I was reading it did make me pause for a moment for cover images that don’t match the character description is a pet peeve of mine。 I did look past it though and really ended up adoring this book。 The characters were fun and had some amazing banter。 There were a number of scenes that had me laughing out loud。 The stor I love a good shifter book and this was definitely one of those。 I really liked that she was a curvy girl but in saying that the woman on the cover doesn’t really match that and as I was reading it did make me pause for a moment for cover images that don’t match the character description is a pet peeve of mine。 I did look past it though and really ended up adoring this book。 The characters were fun and had some amazing banter。 There were a number of scenes that had me laughing out loud。 The story kept me turning the pages well into the early hours of the morning and I’ll be paying for that all day today， but it was so worth it。 。。。more
