Bear With Me (The Jamesburg Shifters #3) by Lynn Red

(Off Goodreads)

From USA TODAY and NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Lynn Red comes a steamy, seductive, sensuously heart-felt alpha werebear romance!

Curvy, scrappy, and slightly self-conscious, Lilah Jorgenson is a raccoon-shifting painter with a white streak in her hair and a longing to find the family she never really had.

As a kit scraping by in back alleys, Lilah had to steal to survive. The only predictable part of her life is her weekend job at the Jamesburg Jail. Oh, and her constant, grinding need to find a mate, a family and a home to call her own.

Thickly-muscled, inked-up former soldier Rex Lee spent five years away, but when family duty calls, he and his little cub come home. Love is distant memory. The only thing Rex has on his mind is keeping his family – his daughter and his father – safe... until a fight lands him in the Jamesburg lockup. 

When Lilah sees the giant behind bars, the tattoos around his eyes make her yearn, and burn, hotter than she ever has in her twenty-six years of life. And when Rex catches a glimpse of Lilah’s two-toned eyes and sly grin? No matter how much he fights his instincts, sometimes a bear just can’t say no. No matter how much Lilah tells herself it’s all wrong, she knows deep down... she and Rex? It’s exactly right.

Lilah may have sworn off theft when the Jorgenson family took her in, but she’s got one thing left to steal – Rex’s heart.

THE JAMESBURG SHIFTERS is a USA TODAY best-selling series of standalone novels featuring a unique hero, heroine and satisfying HEA ending. No cliffhangers here! Books can be enjoyed in any order you like – you won’t miss a thing!

My Review:

The third book in the Jamesburg shifter series is a riveting and charming romance.  Lilah Jorgenson is a raccoon shifter and painter who longs for the family she never had.  The only thing bear shifter Rex Lee has on his mind his keeping his daughter and father safe, until he lands in the Jamesburg lockup and meets Lilah and learns that sometimes a bear just can’t say no and even though Lilah’s given up stealing she finds she one thing left to steal…Rex’s heart.

This steady to fast paced plot keeps readers on their toes with suspense, drama, some action and romance.   The author describes the events and scenes with vivid details that capture the imagination and spine tingling suspense builds as the characters discover that danger has one again found the residents of Jamesburg and is targeting young college students.  The strong compelling characters are easily related to and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning.

The attraction between Rex and Lilah catches the couple off guard and brings both of their insecurities forth, but the heat is undeniable and the sex scenes are hot and steamy.  The author can’t help but be charmed by Lilah and her shy vulnerability which leads to some humorous dialogue and encounters.  Rex captures the heart with his love for his daughter and also his insecurities in how to proceed with Lilah. 

The author has created an eccentric town of a variety of fun and charming shifters with this story has some twists to keep the readers guessing. I found this book to be a fun and charming read and while I found some of the ditzy dialogue a little on the confusing side but it fit the characters very well and added some humor and spice to the story.

About Lynn Red:

(Off Amazon)

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.
