This is a review of Bearly Sleeping by Claire Ryann. It can be read as a standalone story or as part of the whole series. It is book 6 in the Sierra Moon Shifters series. Claire Ryann's writing has improved significantly since I first started reading her books. Her books are engaging and you don't want to put them down once you start.
We start out by meeting a bear shifter named Chelle. Chelle is a fairly new bear as she was only turned a few months ago. She is increasingly drawn to town to a specific area. She returns there almost nightly and she suspects the smell is coming from the local coffee shop until she gets closer and discovers that the smell is coming from a man that lives in a cabin in the area. Bear sightings were reported all over town and Josh (the bear shifter that Chelle is drawn to) fears that someone saw him as a bear until he learns that the bear is female. Chelle ventures closer to Josh's cabin and is spotted by one of the neighbors. She tries to get away but is cornered by Josh who insists that she shift back into a human before the police arrive. Chelle finally shifts. She accompanies Josh inside his house and they have both recognized that the other one is their fated mate and have wild passionate sex. Chelle wakes the next morning without her mate in the bed and she fears he ran off when she can't find him when in fact he went to the nearby coffee shop for coffee and pastries. Once Josh finds out Chelle has left, he goes searching for her. He finds her in her human form sitting out in the snow. He knows he needs to get her to safety so he seeks shelter in a cave. He collects wood and builds a fire to help keep them warm. They talk for a while before they end up having sex again. When they wake up they find out that they have been hibernating in the cave for two months. They return to Josh's cabin and have decided to make a live there. We find out Chelle is caring a cub and they get their happily after after.
I received a free copy of this book from Romance ARCade in exchange for an honest review.
