Oof, I really wanted to like it.
Unfortunately I found it to be way over-written.
Paragraphs upon paragraphs of waffling.
I was bored while reading, even when the H and h were interacting.
Plus I thought Flint was a total dick to his not-really fiancé, the way he was leading her on.
Layla was an OK character, but left much to be desired. 1) for someone bent on survival, she was surprisingly reluctant to ask for help. 2) there was no background justification for her incredible selfless personality, that is, that she would rather face her horrible ex-mate all on her own because she doesn't want to bring destruction on the bear's small town, but we get zero indication WHY she is like that. It felt like a plot device to create artificial tension.
What I liked: Roxy Roxy and more Roxy. Yes to all scenes involving Roxy.
I think someone else might enjoy this book more than me, so I wouldn't pass it up, instead I would suggest reading the first few chapters and seeing if you like the way it is written.
