This is a quick shifter romance.
It’s what I think of as a throwaway. Which sounds more negative than intended. It’s a nice quick read with two very likeable characters. It’s just that there’s nothing new here. It’s not a book I’ll remember or ever re-read. Hence the throwaway bit.
I want to give 2* but anyone looking at that will assume it’s a bad book. And it’s not. It’s just a quick easy read.
So even though using my rating system this is a 2* read I’m giving 3*. Because I did enjoy it.

Great start to a new series... 4 stars!
Megan has had a terrible past couple of days with catching her husband cheating on her in their own bed and an incoming hurricane threatening her home and her business, but things begin to look up when Roman saves her life. Too bad he thinks he can turn into a polar bear...
I felt so bad for Megan having to deal with her ex-husband Dylan who was a complete jackass! Roman was such a sweetheart who was determined to show Megan what real love and happiness could be like with him. Not my favorite tropes, but I enjoyed it overall ♡

Este librito me dejó más fría que el Ártico...
Rescue Bear de Candace Ayers
Serie P.O.L.A.R. libro 1
Mí humilde opinión:
P.O.L.A.R. es parte de un ejército secreto mundial compuesto por
los mejores cambiaformas.
La Liga de Rescate del Ártico es una fuerza de Operaciones Secretas especializadas dentro de ese ejército, una unidad marítima de osos polares cambiaformas, cuya base es Siberia… hasta que cabrean a alguien y son reasignados.
¡Estos cambiaformas de tiempo frío se encuentran de repente en Sunkissed Key, Florida, rodeados de sol, arena, chanclas y palmeras!
Una semana. Eso es todo lo que necesitó Megan para que su mundo se desmoronara.
Lo perdió todo. Su matrimonio… hecho añicos. Su negocio… desmoronado. Su vida… arruinada.
Entra un oso de rescate para recoger las piezas, construirla de nuevo y bañarla con el amor que nunca ha conocido pero que siempre mereció.
La razón por la que agarré este librito es porque soy fan de los cambiaformas y nunca había leído nada sobre un oso polar y encima eran rescatistas? Definitivamente tenía que leer este.
Mientras me metía más en la historia de Megan y Roman, más me arrepentía de haber agarrado este librito...
Fue TAN frustrante todo lo que pasaba y con una protagonista TAN irritante.
El protagonista masculino, Roman era un cambiante de oso polar grande y sexy, un tipo amable, cariñoso, conciderado, él era la pareja predestinada de Megan.
Y con todo eso no fue WOW para mí.
No me llegó del todo. No solo me faltó historia sobre él para conocerlo mejor sino que quedó débil en un punto. Necesité ver que luchara más duro por Megan, que sacara su posesividad y su alfa interior.
Roman terminó quedando como un niño perdedor al final, viendo irse a su predestinada de brazos cruzados.
Así que aquí viene la razón principal por la que se arruinara esta historia para mí desde el principio: Megan. Todo era sobre ella.
Esto será largo pero permiso, necesito desahogarme:
No me entraba en la cabeza la intención de esta mujer de seguir casada con una persona que encontró engañándola con otra mujer en su propia casa y cama.
¿Cómo borras de tu mente y perdonas algo así? ¿Cómo podía Megan estar tranquila viendo a su marido tener sexo con otra? Sus reacciones en esa escena fueron tan poco realistas.
Dylan, el marido no la quería. La trataba como una empleada y no como su mujer. La maltrataba verbalmente y hasta llegó a dañarla físicamente! Y ella todavía quería salvar su matrimonio por no quedar como un fracaso con su familia?
Y ahora lo que me hizo gritarle a esta mujer lo tonta que era (perdón pero no podía creer su nivel de felpudo) su marido la deja lidiar sola con un huracán categoría 5, ella se pone a cerrar la casa para salvarla y luego se va a la tienda que llevan juntos o mejor dicho ella porque aparentemente él solo mandaba, para encontrar un revuelto en la oficina. El dinero se fue de la caja fuerte y lo que importaba allí, todo saqueado y lo primero que piensa es que fueron ladrones?! En su mente sabe que el marido le robó pero se niega a creerlo así que lo llama para asegurarse de que fue él!?
Era tan exasperante leer todos sus diálogos internos sobre el marido y lo poco que pensaba de ella, cómo se quedó prácticamente sin hacer nada mientras lo dejaba salirse con la suya.
Pero la cosa no terminó ahí... cuando conoce a Roman, el cambiador de oso, que salva su vida y la trata como un hombre debe tratar a una mujer, le dice que está casada! Como si el marido no se hubiera escapado con otra mujer y dejado tirada! Encima es ella la que no piensa ser infiel ni con el pensamiento porque es una tipa leal... De verdad, tuve deseos de pasar páginas para ver si mejoraba la cosa... ME EQUIVOQUÉ!
Cuando quise ver el lado positivo de Megan, encontré que era una mujer perseverante, a pesar de que su matrimonio se fue al diablo, ella todavía quería salvar por lo que trabajó, admiré que no se diera por vencida.
A pesar de eso, ella todavía me resultó contradictoria: Finalmente acepta que al marido no le importaba si el huracán se la llevaba, vi una mujer fuerte y luego decae al poner excusas por él!
Parecía que estaba a punto de dar una vuelta de página a su vida con Roman y Bam! El marido regresa a su vida días después de que se fugara con la amante pidiendo que lo acepte de vuelta.
Dylan no tenía cara de verdad, era un imbécil y un sinvergüenza de primera. Si bien no lo acepta de vuelta, casi pensé que me daría un ataque cuando dudó, tampoco escoge a Roman cuando llega el momento decisivo. A esas alturas me estaba dando cabezazos!
Claro, Roman le dice que es un cambiaformas de oso polar, le suelta la verdad de su naturaleza sin anestesia, y ella lo toma por loco y que no puede estar con un tipo mal de la cabeza. Qué hace ella a continuación? Se va de la isla por un mes. Qué hace Roman? Llora por los rincones y pasa por su casa como acosador para ver si ella regresó.
Me preguntaba si estos dos tendrían su HEA.
Lo tuvieron al final pero a esas alturas ya no me interesaba si lo tenían o no.
Estaba suspirando más porque logré terminar el librito y no porque terminaron juntos.
Extrañé los momentos divertidos y sexys, los que hubo fueron ligeros y estoy bien con esos pero le faltó pasión y una química fuera de los límites. No había conexión entre Roman y Megan. Ni siquiera pude ver su conexión de almas gemelas!
El final fue de lo peor, tan abrupto y el ex nunca recibió su merecido!
Este fue uno de los peores libritos cortos de cambiaformas que leí hasta ahora. No lo disfruté para nada, quedó claro.

Ce premier tome de la saga de romance fantastique « Polaire » m’a fait une très agréable impression. Certes, le livre n’est pas long (140 pages) mais le récit est romantique à souhait, avec un soupçon de sensualité et une petite pointe d’humour.
« Il se tourna pour se placer juste en face de moi. « Les miens … ils savent instinctivement quand ils rencontrent ‘la bonne’, leur âme sœur. » Mon estomac se noua encore plus. « Les tiens ? Les Russes ? » « Non. Je ne suis pas … normal, Megan. Je suis désolé si tout cela te semble ridicule et si je déballe tout comme ça, mais il faut que tu saches. Il faut que tu saches avant de prendre ta décision. » « De quoi parles-tu, Roman ? » « Des métamorphes. Les miens sont des métamorphes ».
Et puis surtout, nous voyons l’évolution de notre héroïne, qui a toujours été sous le joug d’un mari manipulateur qui n’a pas cessé de la rabaisser pendant 12 ans de mariage (en clair, un bon gros pervers narcissique dans toute sa splendeur) car même quand elle le surprend dans le lit, dans leur propre chambre, avec sa maitresse, il arrive à retourner la situation lui disant que c’est de sa faute à elle s’il va voir ailleurs et surtout, qu’est-ce qu’elle fout chez eux en plein après-midi, pourquoi elle n’est pas à la boutique ?! (et lui, alors ? Pourquoi il n’est pas à la boutique non plus ?).
« L’ours sauveteur » porte bien son nom car la rencontre qui va se dérouler entre Roman, notre métamorphe ours, installé en Floride avec ses compagnons de la même espèce depuis un mois, et Megan, notre héroïne, va se faire dans des circonstances dramatiques puisque la jeune femme est sur le point de se noyer à cause de la tornade qui vient frapper cette côte estivale et qui a inondé toutes les rues. La jeune femme, qui se sent « moche » à cause de sa grande taille et du matraque psychologique de son mari qui l’a toujours rabaissée, ne peut croire qu’un aussi bel homme que Roman, immense et musclé, puisse s’intéresser à elle. J’ai vraiment beaucoup aimé la manière dont ces deux-là vont lutter contre leur attirance immédiate (car Megan, même si elle a été trompée, volée et abandonnée par son mari reste quelqu’un avec des principes et avec qui le mot « mariage » signifie quelque chose de sacré).
J’ai aussi beaucoup aimé la manière dont l’auteure américaine va traiter la question de l’ours polaire qui fait partie de Roman et qui gronde en ayant reconnu Megan comme sa compagne. Bref, cette lecture a été vraiment très plaisante et c’est avec grand plaisir que je lirai la suite de la saga puisque, à priori, nous allons suivre les aventures sentimentales de chacun des membres du groupe « Polaire », qui sont tous des ours blancs célibataires, venus de Sibérie (à part Serge, leur chef qui est déjà en couple)….
Ma note : 17,5/20

DNF too much *Spoilers*
****** SOILERS BELOW *********
I made it to 19% or chapter 6. They have yet to met. The h has walked in on her husband cheating, stayed with for days, was physically and verbally attacked by him. All of this an more and the h is monologuing about how she should look at divorce as an option. She doesn’t want to be like the rest of her family. And I am done. This is not for me.
These are my personal views and should not region the Author in any way. I had no issues with the writing itself. I received nothing no compensation for my review.

I didn’t even make it through chapter 13. How much of a doormat could she possibly be?!? He just cheated and she just waits for them to take there sweet time AND she doesn’t ask for a divorce when he’s so flippant about him getting caught cheating. He’s verbally abusive and at least once physically abused her and still nothing. Enough bad mouthing, up to what I read just pissed me off.

*WARNING* contains explicit sexual content
This was okay. Another shapeshifter story. There's nothing in this one that stands out or makes it particularly good as far as i'm concerned.

Here’s a slightly different take on the shifter special ops subgenre of shifter paranormal romance stories. P.O.L.A.R. (Private Ops: League Arctic Rescue) somehow pissed off someone high up in the administrative hierarchy which resulted in the entire team being transferred from Siberia, Russia to Sunkissed Key, Florida. That really sucks. (Having lived in Alaska, only to be relocated back to SoCal, I can totally attest to how MISERABLE this is to a metabolism adjusted to more frosty climes!) Serge, the ops’ leader, at least has a mate, but the rest of these polar bear shifters have nothing to distract them. Poor boys. Perhaps Book 1 will resolve that issue with at least one operative.
Megan is an artist whose specialty involves digital photography. She and her husband of twelve years have sunk their finances into opening a shop, displaying Megan’s work (as well as custom framing). However, when NOAA sends out the word of Hurricane Matilda will be making landfall at Sunkissed Key, she closes shop to warn her husband… and walks into her cuckolding spouse and The Other Woman in bed. Instead of even expressing one ounce of remorse or shame, Dylan blames his infidelity on her own lacking qualities as a wife. He leaves the house with a lasting quote in my head: “I don’t know what’s gotten into you.” (What do you mean by that??!! Megan should be saying that of you, you jerk!) Great way to back out of a relationship, but there is more to come before he blows out of her life… but that’ll have to be read because I couldn’t believe how crass he was. All to distract Megan from doing what she needed to do — like save her own life.
When she stumbles outside and begins to drive around to find safety, she and her SUV are swept into sea by the rising waters that has been swallowing up Sunkissed Key the last few days as Hurricane Matilda makes landfall. Not good.
Enter Roman, a P.O.L.A.R. operative whose team is to provide whatever services required in Sunkissed Key and the surrounding land/ocean. When he hears her screams for help, Roman extricates her from Mother Nature’s craw. Of course, his inner polar bear sees her as their ideal mate. (Isn’t that how this story usually goes?) But it takes a while for her inner child to hear the same message. And not without problems perpetrated by Hurricane Dylan.
Length and pace: It’s a longish novella. Good for 1-2 hours’ worth of reading. The pace is just right for me and the story when you work out the timeline. As long as the reader knows this is more for brain candy than anything else, you should not be disappointed in the length.
Characters: Roman is allegedly from Siberia amongst a group of “ex-pats”. Which nationalities, I don’t really know. I have knows Siberian aboriginals, Siberian nationals, and American ex-pats that spent plenty of time in Siberia. I tried to see if there was any similarities, and the closest I was able to get were my ex-pat friends. Why? Because they were truly Americans at heart! (Or could be British, too!) I never got that Siberian vibe from Roman or anyone of the P.O.L.A.R. team though I wish I had. I do appreciate Roman’s devotion to human life in general, and more specifically, his devotion to Megan and her safety. No husband should abandon his wife even if he was not “in love” with her. At least he should understand the marriage vows which dictates that he is to protect and help her, not do what he pleased. As for Megan, I do appreciate that the writer didn’t do all the back-and-forth how she could possibly fall in love with a previously unknown stranger after twenty-four hours. I’ve read that plot line too many times. At least Megan had a brain. I know that Ayers wrote her rather strangely at the beginning where she was more spending thought time about her possessions than being concerned about her husband’s cockolding her at that very moment. It demonstrated her coping mechanisms under extreme stress. She even knew how most women should respond. (Personally, I would have killed him and have Hurricane Matilda dispose of his worthless body.) I have seen very intelligent women respond the way she did. It doesn’t mean that Megan was being unrealistic in her behavior. This was very refreshing as it only proved how detached she had become with her husband and how well she was trained to act like a circus dog at her master’s behest. How else would Dylan have viewed her?
I do like how Roman and Megan interact with each other. It might be considered less than romantic, but some great love affairs start off as a slow simmer. I am not expecting gigantic fireworks going off. I want to see quality and intimacy in a relationship. That’s why I really liked the bathroom scene in which these two are literally thrown together to survive in a house that might not survive a hurricane. As even Roman thought, it wasn’t that he just needed to be romantic with Megan. He needed to be with her, experiencing life with her even if it was just the “Oh, honey! You're home! How did work go today?” in the late afternoon when he showed up in her kitchen. The true maturation process of an adrenalin junkie. It was really sweet because he realized that a lot of what had to be done was to sit back and be patient as it was all up to Megan to get some work done in order for them to proceed with their relationship. You just have to read it.
World-creation: Sunkissed Key, Florida… Is this really, truly realistic? Considering global warming over the last one hundred years, the location, and increasingly destructive storms and hurricanes, I would have made this key far larger. The size of a key like this isn’t sustainable. At least quadruple the size. Now we’re talking about something that can house the environment she’s trying to create. There has to be more width and elevation to prevent the isle being washed away by hurricanes and tsunamis. (Not unlike Kodiak, AK!) I do like some of the minor characters introduced including dear old Susie of the Bayfront Diner and her exuberant cinnamon rolls and all the sweet tea for the asking.
Continuity, plot, and editing: Sadly, I am still seeing the usual punctuation, grammar, and spelling problems. Could have used a few more read-throughs to catch them all. (But isn’t that the editor’s job? Oh well…) Continuity was intact. I know the storyline is rather pat and obviously too much of a template. I have to admit that I am driven to give this novella higher points because of the strength of the heroine to know what she had to do as well as the hero knowing what he should not be doing, and that’s because he didn’t totally act like a big, bad alpha that he can be. (Or did he...?)
Realism: As I mentioned in World-creating, Sunkissed Key was way too small to support that amount of people and survive the ocean. But she did research her physics of hurricanes pretty well. If she hadn’t been through a few of her own, she certainly figured out most of the angles. I liked how she described the lay of the land. I almost could walk down the main thoroughfare to find all the little streets taking me to fun and unusual places, including the Bayfront Diner. (I could almost smell the cinnamon.) Not many people would have figured out how to use a riptide to one’s benefit. I’m very familiar with swimming amongst these currents, so my brain didn’t do any unrealistic dinging in the part of the story where Roman rescues Megan. This was so realistic. The exposition was handled that well.
I really did like this book. In fact, I bought the rest in the series so far. It’s wonderful brain candy, but I would hope she would write a real novel to truly intrigue me. I’d pay twice as much I did for these!

I really did like this book. In fact, I bought the rest in the series so far. It’s wonderful brain candy, but I would hope she would write a real novel to truly intrigue me. I’d pay twice as much I did for these!

Chased Mate (Cybermates #3) was where my interest laid but as it is a spin-off of the series P.O.L.A.R. I thought to keep my reading order tidy, instead I am downgrading Ms. Ayers to a third book 'read maybe'.
This story had nice MC's and a nice comeuppance for the ex. Shifter rules prevent total action other than pleasing his mate. I felt ripped off that the author didn't deem it necessary to write the mate 'bonding'. The part where Megan wants to curl into the comfort of Roman's shifter fur was the only part I read that I found I desired.
The author states 'Fans of Zoe Chant, Terry Bolryder, Harmony Raines and T.S. Joyce may like this shapeshifter series'. If I wasn't already a huge fan of Terry Bolryder I probably would avoid those authors.
Stay healthy (completed my 14 days of self-isolating but I afraid to return to the outside world).

Very nice story.
I suffered a little for her and her insecurities and hated the ex.
Roman a cute teddy bear.

My Opinion
Usually I like Candace's books but this one was crap, stupid, and unrealistic for me. How can you watch your husband and another woman in your bed, wait for them to finish and then quietly say oh I guess we need to talk? Then sit on the the stairs so they can get dressed while you wait? Are you crazy? NOT REALISTIC! Those couple of chapters just ruined it for me. I didn't care about her or what happened to her afterwards. She became that dumb stupid doormat that I couldn't care less about. Not MY kind of book. I like my heroines to have a backbone. I can't recommend this story.

*****Some spoilers ahead***
Megan's whole world was torn apart in like a week. She caught her husband cheating, then almost died in a hurricane. Her husband is a dick and she's been carrying him for the last 12 years. It even mentions in there that on their first date, she wanted one kind of pizza, but they got the kind he wanted instead. He pressed her to open her business, basically because he was too lazy to work anywhere else and she did it. He constantly belittled her and yet she stuck with him because her family has a history of divorces and she didn't want to be like them. I get that, but 12 years is a hell of an investment to a guy who just uses you.
It took a bit for Megan and Roman to meet, which if the book had been longer would have made more sense. I wish the book had been longer, as everything seemed a bit compressed. later in the book, I think she was gone for a month, but little was touched on about that. It seemed while she was gone, everything just magically fixed itself in just a sentence or two.
Some things just don't make sense. Like her husband evacuates the hurricane and the day after the hurricane he comes back. I'm not sure how, because his sidepiece took everything he took with him. I'm not sure what kind of car he had, but with 4 tvs and a bunch of other household items, including all the money from the business, that's a lot of stuff. I'm assuming when the mistress left him, she took the car instead of calling someone and moving everything into another vehicle all before he woke up and found her. If she took the car, how he did he get back so fast. It's a small island, so I doubt they would have allowed people to come back the day or two after the hurricane. Her entire business building was gone, so it doesn't make sense that people were allowed back so quickly. I don't know, I've never been in a hurricane, but it seems like common sense to me.
Don't get me wrong, I like this book. It's a good start to the series. However, the basis of the whole reason why the group is there, is just sort of left hanging. Like, I know something happened that caused them to be reassigned, and that it involves Hannah's and Serge's relationship, but that's about it. I feel like there is a story that we should have had before this series that introduces these guys and gives us Hannah's and Serge's story. If it's out there, I haven't found it.

Megan is devasted, or is she? She just found her husband in her bed with a thin girl and he is acting like it's her fault? She is a big girl granted, but they have been married for 12 years and she has always done everything to please him, but maybe this is what she needed to realize that she never really loved him. Then she is saved from drowning by the most gorgeous man she has ever seen and he could even carry her like she were a feather, but would it be crazy of her to jump Roman's bones just yet? After all she is a married woman and then to top it all off, the hot man is crazy, claims he can turn into a polar bear!
Roman is a Polar Bear out of Siberia, he and his fellow brothers are members of P.O.L.A.R. Rescue Bears. For some insane reason he and his team are stationed in The Keys in Florida where they are miserable as miserable can be. After all they are polar bears! Thank God they are going to see some action as Hurricane Matilda makes her way to the Keys, they haven't seen any action since they got there. Not that they wish for a hurricane...As Matilda hits, Roman sees a woman drowning and when he reaches her realizes that she is his fated mate. There was a reason for being sent to the hot Florida Keys after all, it was fate.
This was a very delightful story.

Nicht lachen! 😂
Das Cover war so schlecht, da musste ich reinschauen.
Und da ich die Queen des Kurzen Kindle Unlimited Smuts bin, hab‘ ich‘s direkt durchgelesen.
Ohje, wo soll ich anfangen?
Dass das Cover fuuuurrrrrchtbaaaarrrr ist, brauch ich niemandem zu erzählen. Aber was ich euch erzählen kann ist, dass es eigentlich ein besseres verdient hätte.
Denn das Buch war gar nicht mal soooo schlecht.
Was mich genervt hat war, dass man nicht schneller zum Meet Cute kam, wie sonst üblich bei smutty shorts, aber dadurch hat man Megan’s prekäre Situation besser begreifen können.
Ich weiß nur nicht, warum Roman so viele Kapitel bekommen hat am Anfang. War unnötig.
Die Charaktere waren nett, auch wenn sehr flach (wenn wundert‘s bei so kurzen Büchern?), aber ich hätte mir gerne Beschreibungen gewünscht.
Ich konnte mir Brandi (das Betthäschen) von Dylan besser vorstellen, als Megan und Roman selbst.
Eine Stelle ist mir dabei besonders in Erinnerung geblieben: Zur 3/4 Marke etwa wurde Romans Bart erwähnt. Ich war total überrascht dass er überhaupt einen hatte.
Solche Dinge halt.
Aber es war ganz nett.
Smutty, Short, Shifter Romance.
Man bekommt, wenn man das gruselige Cover bedenkt, doch mehr als man erwartet.
Also 3 Sterne.

Roman esta sufriendo lo peor para un oso polar, estar en medio de la Florida con un calor que el mismo infierno se sentiría muy orgulloso de ello.
Como castigo han mandando a su unidad donde según pueden ayudar mas pero ellos no se dejan engañar saben que es por fastidiarla en la ultima misión.
Megan no espera que después de 12 años de matrimonio ella termine siendo el tipo cliché de encontrar a tu marido en la misma cama donde durmieron la noche anterior y todas las noches antes que esa, con otra mujer que es tan diferente a ella.
Pero ahora es cuando mas se da cuenta de que durante todo ese tiempo solo ponía escusas para una persona que solo vivió de ella y que ni siquiera se preocupo un poco de su persona.
Cuando el huracán casi la arrastra mar adentro es cuando conoce a Roman, es tan grande que aunque ella sea una mujer con carne en los huesos, se siente femenina a su lado y en sus acciones y forma de mirarla ve una preocupación que llega a ser abrumadora, salir de un matrimonio no es fácil y no piensa pasarla de un hombre a otro. Roman cae rápido por su compañera la única para el y esta dispuesto a esperar por ella aunque eso lo mate por dentro y tenga a su oso comiéndole la oreja a gruñidos.

Audiobook free on YT
pathetic woman, stays with her cheater husband and that with a Hurricane coming in!
She did not even had a backpack to go. Nothing. Then tries to board up the shop while the hurricane is hitting... that all was the most idiotic stuff I heard in some time... Sad to say it, but he was right, he took the money and left the danger zone. I would not want to be around a person like her too.
Show me someone that would? I would pack my stuff, leave and get a divorce. She doesn`t want a divorce because many in her family had divorces? Yo, what a dumb person. No wonder he had zero respect for her. She is pathetic and weak.
Plus you got to be a special kind of stupid, if you already are familiar with Hurricanes, to stay while it hits and try to board up windows... and have NOTHING already packed to go. What bs is this? cat 4 storm and they swim around?
Sorry but I find it insulting how a cat 5 or 4 in this book makes it look like child`s play. It is disgusting. Guess some of those polar bears have a magic want and clear up every road and mess..and that is why people are back right away and all is fine? You got to be kidding me!

One week.
That’s all it took for Megan’s world to fall apart.
She lost everything.
Her marriage—shattered.
Her business—demolished.
Her life—ruined.
Enter one hot Rescue Bear to pick up the pieces,
Build her back up,
And shower her with the love she’s never known, and always deserved.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
P.O.L.A.R. (Private Ops: League Arctic Rescue) is a specialized, private operations task force—a maritime unit of polar bear shifters. Part of a world-wide, clandestine army comprised of the best of the best shifters, P.O.L.A.R.’s home base is Siberia…until the team pisses somebody off and gets re-assigned to Sunkissed Key, Florida and these arctic shifters suddenly find themselves surrounded by sun, sand, flip-flops and palm trees.
Heather's Notes
LOL polar bears in Florida. I liked this. It was a very enjoyable read. I felt like Megan let Dylan get away with a bit too much, and he really should have had to suffer more. He was a jerk, but still she didn't waver too much. Roman was sweet. I liked him and will look forward to reading more of this series.

A sweet love story that's easy to read through. This story is a nice love story with characters that are easy to understand. Meghan is stuck in mediocrity and her character is in a bad marriage. At first, I thought, okay, she'll wake up and straighten that stuff up, but she just keeps accepting it. I thought she was unrealistically portrayed especially after the scene when she goes home early. Then again after the storm, it was all just not jelling for me. I loved the P.O.L.A.R. team characters, especially the hero in this book. I wanted to like the story more, but I was just put off by the female seeming to need a hero to begin with for something that she could have handled herself if we're talking real life-like situations. I gave it 4 stars because the writing is excellent, the story is set up well, and the action is realistic in all other facets except the one I mentioned. It was easy to read, enjoyable, and held my interest.

What a good start to the series. At first it seemed kind of cliché that a woman, Megan, walks in on her husband going at it with a much younger beautiful woman in her own bed. But after that first chapter it is all a whole different story. Roman and the rest of the crew from the polar group of bears shifters have been sent to Sun kissed key Island Florida. Polar bears don’t do well in the Florida heat. But that’s what happens when there’s a major screwup, now they were all suffering the heat. Megan‘s husband is a first class jerk, and now there’s a hurricane coming and he is gone without any thought to Megan. Roman and the rest are out trying to save lives and protect everyone’s property when he realizes someone is drowning. That someone happens to be his mate Megan. Really good story, and I really love to see jerks getting what they deserve and the happily ever after that Megan and Roman get at the end.

Megan kann es nicht glauben, als sie ihren Ehemann mit einer anderen Frau im Bett erwischt. Ihre Ehe steht vor dem aus. Als ein Sturm aufzieht, lass ihr Mann sie alleine mit dem Haus und dem Geschäft. Roman taucht auf um sie zu retten und zwischen ihnen funkt es. Doch Megan ´s Leben ist vernichtet und Roman hat auch ein kleines Geheimnis vor ihr. Er ist ein Shifter.
Eine total süße und gefühlvolle Liebesgeschichte. Erst einmal finde ich Megan toll, sie ist einfach eine starke Frau, die sie nicht so schnell aufgibt. Außerdem hat sie einen normalen Körper. Roman ist ein Teddybär und sieht aus wie ein Holzfäller. ;) Die Geschichte beginnt sehr emotional und wird sehr spannend, wechselt dann zwischen Spannung, Leidenschaft und Gefühlen ab. Doch war die Geschichte viel zu kurz. Stundenlang hätte ich noch über die beiden Lesen können.

Roman and his team have been relocated from Siberia to Florida and the it’s more than a shock for the polar boys. But it’s boring, so when a hurricane threatens the area, they’re all excited! Megan was plodding along in her life until it became a cliché, her hubs was having an affair in their bed, he left her in the hurricane, he took their money and the liquor!
Trying to board up her home and business alone and save what she could when the hurricane hits at full force and she’s almost swept away. Anxious all day, Roman traded positions with a teammate and was able to save Megan from being swept into the ocean.
Roman’s excited when his bear immediately declares Megan’s their mate while Roman the man is ready to wreak vengeance for all Megan’s soon to be ex took away from her and fate has something to say about it too, in this easy, fun read.
Rating: 4.25stars

I loved this story! Too cute.
Of course it's a shifter book so you know there's some unlikely parts but, this book starts out cute and funny- think LOL funny- then gets a little sad and depressing, but you're lovingly sighing, cheering and chuckling again by the end! You'll love Megan and Roman! Four stars because it needed a little more details like- did the rat b@$!*d ex-husband get anything after the divorce, or did he slither away totally busted? Yes, please. And how did Roman scare him away? That must've been hilarious! Where did Megan's family get all their wealth? And did she start her business again? This definitely needed more info to feel finished. This was a very HFN book.

I think I like this series a lot :) Most of the women in this series are non virgins and have been married or in bad relationship...short and quick reads some funny spots the men are still drop dead gorgeous and sexy as ever...but...they are not so macho that they are cave men about things. All the men in this series are polar bear shifters from Russia now living in the Florida Keys...When a hurricane wreaks havoc Roman saves a woman who is nearly drowned in the ocean her husband evacuates without her and takes most of the money from their business as well as a lot of things from her home....Roman can't believe it but he knows he has found his mate....Megan can't believe the way she feels for this literal stranger she has only known for literally one day....

Too short
There was so much left unsaid and questions left unanswered in this story, not to forget to mention the ridiculousness of this organisation being in such a hot place doing absolutely nothing except help out neighbours.
The message this story sent me was that if you are an oversized woman, then only a unique species could love you. It was all about the female's insecurity about her body issues, so the husband obviously had to be the bad guy in order to make the hero more of a dream come true by accepting her for what she was.
There was not enough depth to make this story enjoyable.

For what it was, it was a very cute little polar bear shifter romance.
I listened to the audio version, and the actors made the story; it was so sweet.
Megan's life falls apart when she finds her husband cheating, before getting caught in a hurricane. Incomes Roman, who saves her from the waters, bandages her, and realizes she is his mate. After the storm settles, he tells her what he is, and due to everything she's been through, she can't give him an answer straight away. She knows it's not a no, but she needs time, which Roman gives him. A good month of time, according to the story timeline. I want more of them. Although, of course, by the end we get our HEA.
