Review: Bear Me Away (Alpha Werebear Paranormal Romance) (The Jamesburg Shifters #5) by Lynn Red

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

It’s hard to say that Elena St. Claire – an arctic fox-shifting, private investigator – is “down on her luck.” She’s got stable work, a couple of close friends... but when it comes to finding a mate? All she knows is that if she DOESN’T find one, and quick, she’s gonna go crazy from staring at every bear or wolf who tears through Jamesburg on a motorcycle. 

Thomas James Westing – but please, just call him West – is a muscled-up bear who long ago turned to organic farming as his way of keeping his cool. He lives outside Jamesburg, alone, and he likes it that way. Sort of. At least, if he’s alone, his secret – a past filled with rage – can stay that way: a secret. 

When West wakes up one morning to find his garden ravaged, he calls the best private investigator in town. He expects to get the case solved, but when a white and copper-haired fox shows up at his doorstep with a cute little snaggle-toothed-on-the-bottom grin, West realizes he just got a lot more than he bargained for: his heart isn’t gonna let this one go. This is a fox he needs to possess, to claim as his mate. If he doesn’t? He might just go straight off the deep end. 

The second Elena lays eyes on the dark haired, dimple-cheeked cowboy bear with legs so big they stretch his Wranglers, she knows she’s in big, big trouble... and not just because he’s a big, big guy, but because straight off the bat, she falls real, real hard. 

But when petty garden vandalism turns out to be a plot to destroy every single crop in the greater Jamesburg area, can Elena manage to keep West off her mind for long enough to catch a crook? Or will the biggest case she’s ever had bury her – and her chance at the mate she’s always wanted – before they can even kiss? 

**The Jamesburg Shifters are a series of standalone novels that can be enjoyed in any order you like. No cliffhangers here!** 

My Review:

With garden’s being destroyed, Elena St. Clair has a case to be solved, too bad the sexy bear - who is her client by the way - keeps distracting her in this charmingly light-hearted and passionate shifter romance.

This fast paced plot keeps readers on their toes and chuckles in their heart with suspense, drama, humor and romance.  The well written scenes and details bring the story to life as the well orchestrated drama and suspense draw the reader deeper into the story and the fun quirky characters ensure that your visit to Jamesburg is full of fun and thrills.

The instant attraction between Elena and West flares red hot from the very beginning and the reader can’t help but get caught up in their courtship full of snarky and cute dialogue.  From the second he meets the little fox, West knows he has to claim his mate or he’s going to go off the deep end and Elena knows she’s in big trouble because he’s a large sexy bear and she falls real hard. Both characters have some past issues that will add to the drama and excitement, but if any couple was ever meant to be…it’s these two.

Curiosity builds as the story progresses with Elena trying to discover the culprit behind the destruction of gardens but most especially carrots, the reader gets pulled into the mystery of why it is happening along with all the drama and excitement that unfolds when the culprit escalates her mad mad scheme.

As always The Jamesburg shifters grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning and the author takes serious issues and makes them fun without losing the seriousness of the situation.  I gotta wonder just how she comes up with these wonderfully ironic and fun stories… I mean I will never look at carrots the same again and I can’t wait to see what happens next in Jamesburg.

About Lynn Red:

Lynn doesn't love anything more than being wrapped up in a hammock with her corgi on her stomach and a pile of her favorite books to read. And by "pile of books" she means "a kindle."

She loves all sorts of romance, but especially ones that feature big, strong alphas who will stop at nothing to prove themselves to the women who melt their hearts.
