Bear
He’s protective to a fault. She’s the sunshine on his darkest days. When they’re thrown together as parents, will their love be enough to fight through the storm?
Benton “Bear” Carter has the heart of a hero with careers in the military and police behind him. As a career protector, taking over as the Sargeant at Arms of the MC is a perfect fit even if he is grumpy on a good day and downright snarly on his worst. Although he dreams of settling down, he’ll have to make do with helping people trapped in abusive situations because the baggage from his past is always waiting to knock him down.
Winchester “Winnie” Franks is a woman, who at thirty-five knows her own mind and what she wants. She loves her job as gym owner for their bail bonds company but she dreams of a protector to stand beside her. When the handsome, grumpy biker she’s loved for the last ten years finally gives in and gives her the night of her dreams, she’s ready for the next chapter in their lives. He’s scared to hope and pushes her away.
When Bear’s unexpected Christmas present means he’s suddenly a father to three children, Winnie takes her place by his side. The children coming into their lives isn’t by chance and danger lurks ready to snatch them away.
Will their bond be enough to make sure a grumpy Bear gets the family of his dreams or will it be torn away?
Bear is the steamy second book in the Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC romance series. If you like grumpy-sunshine age-gap romance, full-metal passion, and plenty of action, you’ll adore Nat Logan’s locked-and-loaded tale.
Buy Bear for the ride of your life.

I have to confess I have a weakness for heroes named Bear. I can't explain it but I have loved every single one I have had the pleasure of reading about. This Bear, he was everything I hoped he would be! Winnie is a gem, she is such an amazing woman and perfect for Bear. They are just perfect together. I loved watching them become a truly cohesive couple. A lot of stories focus on the couple just getting together and I enjoy them very much. But the stories that steal my heart, show the couple growing together, building a life and future together. This was such a phenomenal read, I would give it 10 stars if I could!

At last
Its really nice to see a love story unfold. Bear and Winnie, are my favorite Couple so far. I can hear the song "At Last" with this couple.
I love how everything lines up in the story. Characters and story plot work great together.

I am fairly new to Nat Logan but she hit it out of the park again with Bear's story, Benton "Bear" Carter and Winchester "Winnie" Franks have known each other for a long time. Since both their dads are part of the same MC. This story had all the feels and so much more, I cried, I laughed, I got mad. Nat's stories kind of remind me of another author I love, Lola Wright. Just the crazy things the guys get up to and how they step up when someone they know is in need of help. Phoebe was adorable, loved the swear jar and loved Rascal and Locks with their new grandchildren. What a great story about what I think family should be. Can't wait for Scoop's story. It's gonna be another great read I can feel it. Thank you so much for sharing your stories with us. I am enjoying the ride

This one's a keeper
This one is a keeper. It's one of those books that will be read over and over again. Winnie and Bear have the perfect combination of sunshine and darkness.

Nat Logan is a new to me author and I was excited to dive into this story as I love MC romance. The characters are realistic and each have a great backstory, giving them life, however parts of the story felt very repetitive when the character would refer to “his woman” or “her man” continuously, and it didn’t feel like a true MC story to me personally, but overall it was well written and had an interesting, well developed storyline.

loved the storyline but
I really enjoyed the plot and how we get everyone present in the story, also the previous couple. Often MC writers forget to include them as if we forget about the earlier books. No, here there’s War and Remi also though the focus remains on Winny and Bear. My only biggest peef is that it’s too much telling and not enough showing which had me almost given up on this book, while I did like the plot. Do give it a try, perhaps you’re less picky than me.

3.5⭐️. This was an ok read. I definitely wouldn’t call it an MC book, IMO. More MC lite. It was a sweet story nevertheless.

Oh dear lord, what an absolutely phenomenal read. War was an amazing read but Nat Logan has out done herself because Bear exceeded all expectations. Winnie and Bear’s story absolutely floored me with the beautiful emotions that flowed from each page, weaving the most spellbinding spell around you.
This is a rollercoaster ride with a maelstrom of emotions and a pure depth that speaks straight to your heart. Hold on tight my lovelies because this story will give you one heck of a book hangover, but you would t have it any other way.
Bear is such a sweetheart. My heart ached for everything he’d endured as a child by the one person who should have treasured and loved him unconditionally. But seeing the beautiful man he’d turned into was so heartwarming.
He’s a man who decided to stay alone, whether he’s surrounded by people or not, he simply wants to protect those he lives from being dragged into the mess he feels his life is. I just wanted to reach through the pages and hug him, reassure him of the man that everyone but he can see.
Winnie is such a fantastic character. I love her backbone and independence. The way she wants to protect those she loves is a thing of beauty. There are no lengths she won’t go to in order to ensure the safety of those she loves.
Winnie has a determination that I found awe inspiring. She doesn’t give up. She’s such a bright light in everyone’s life, she bring a smile and happiness to anyone her light shines upon. Watching her step up to the bat in every way possible for the man she loves absolutely melted my heart.
This story was just so beautiful, so compelling. Nat Logan is an author with an incredible talent.
Can’t recommend highly enough.
So many stars for this read I could count them.

Forever kind of love
This is the second book in the Bluff Creek Brotherhood motorcycle club romance series. This is the story of Winnie and Bear. She has been in love with Bear for years and while Bear has feelings for her too, he is afraid to act on his feelings in case his darkness touches her. Winnie plans to whoo Bear with romance and special gifts. He knows he loves her but he has to keep his walls in place for his protection and hers. His mothers actions toward him as a child greatly influence his ability to have a relationship with a woman. When danger strikes he sees that he can no longer waste precious time and he opens his heart to Winnie. They are a passionate couple in all aspects of their relationship. You will find hot steamy scenes between them as well as some angst. The story builds to a very satisfying ending and I for one can't wait to read book 3 of the series.

Exceptionally Good Read…
BUT not exactly linear. This book doesn’t pick up exactly where the previous one did. So to avoid any spoilers for either book suffice to say that this book matches up with the end of book one at around 110 pages in. It doesn’t detract from the story it’s just a little frustrating because you’ve already read several of the events that happened in book one. The difference being is that you just experience them from a different perspective.
The characters are just as vivid and realistic as with book one. This covers the rocky romance between Bear (Denton ) and Winnie (Winchester Franks). Once again he’s several years older than her and our grumpy pessimist doesn’t believe that he’s good enough for her.
There’s a dramatic plotline attached to this couple and overall this book has that “feel good” factor attached to it. Definitely worth reading.

Winnie & Bear
Great read...series continues to bring in characters from prior books. Bear was severely abused as a child from his mother (incubator as her referred to her), saved & raised by his Dad once it became visible. However, Bear carried so much pain & doubt that he would ever be able to have a real relationship/ family. Winnie loved Bear forever & never gave up trying to get him to see her as a partner in life. So much love, angst, & a wonderful HEA for this couple. (Highly recommend this author & this series. Reviewed by Lin)

💜 Bear and Winnie 💜
I'm hooked on MC romances because they're like a shot of adrenaline - equal parts sappy emotional drama, action-packed thrills, and rugged badassery. But every now and then, I stumble upon a book that's the whole package: a heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, feel-all-the-feels masterpiece with a fierce heroine who'll stop at nothing to claim her sexy ass biker! Winnie and Bear's story is that book - the ultimate MC romance. This is the 2nd book I've read by Nat Logan and now she's got me addicted to this series worse than a crackhead! Definitely 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is my first read by this author and I'm completely won over! Bear and Winnies story is emotional and beautiful. These characters had me crying my eyes out one minute and laughing my behind off the next. They pull you along for the ride and what they feel, the reader feels. The men are forces to be reckoned with and the women are fierce enough to handle them. I didn’t read book 1 before going into to this one. I'll be going back and reading it, I don't want to miss anything with these guys.

a wonderful story
Absolutely love the variation of the MC and Security company! The characters are amazing and with the drama and bad guys in each story- there is no torture, dismemberment, murder etc etc. a HEA and a small leader for the nxt book. Will keep reading this author’s books nd highly recommend. There are a few editing issues, mainly punctuation but still rates a 5 star review.

Great characters!
To continue a series I need two things; well developed characters I actually care about following and a well written story that entices me to continue in their little town/city/club to see where they end up. This book has both and I can’t wait to see how Scoop recovers from his embarrassment. Personally, I also really like when authors include extended epilogues and we get to see them later in life with grown kids.

Bear & Winny
I fell hard and fast for Bear. It broke my heart that he felt he didn't deserve the love of a good women and kids of his own to shower with love. Winny knew what she wanted and vowed to break all of Bear's walls and him hers and I loved seeing her do just that. I loved going on this journey with them as the stood strong together and fought for the family they both deserved.

Bear and Winnie
Bear had a crappy childhood, and thank goodness for Rascal. He didn't think he was good enough for Winnie, and she waited patiently for him for years to realize differently.
They both received a surprise 😮 that derived from a tragic situation but handled it like the loving people they both are.
Surprises and twists and turns, so grab your copy today and enjoy. Not giving away any spoilers.
Happy reading!
Highly recommend! 👌

Wow!! Loved loved loved Bear and Winnie's story. The scrap that Bear went through as a kid, I can't imagine. For being so unloved, he has a heart of gold and big as the world. Thank goodness for Rascal taking him and raising him. Winnie and Bear desperately try to keep their relationship a secret but a turn of events has them announcing in front of everyone that they are a couple.

Bear & Winnie
She'd fantasized about for just as he had her but she was too good and deserved better would they find their way to be together?
Great characters including three adorable kids with little fingers long enough for an MC and bail bond/security companies foreign workers or the to wrap around. Can the past revisited change it all?

This is the second book in this impressive series and this is Bear and Winnie's story.
This is well written story which has family, friendships, emotions, loyalty, loss, challenges, secrets, suspense, intrigue, tension, humour, witty banter, undeniable chemistry, and love which leads to an entertaining, and heartwarming addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

cute
Loved Bear and Winnie together but there were so many continuity errors that it left my head spinning! Every time there was mention of any kind of time span, or number it was different than the previous time. So frustrating! Not to mention in the previous book Remi was pregnant at Christmas but there is no mention of it in this book and she gets married without any mention of a dress that fits the figure of a pregnant woman.

Tissues!! If you havnt read WAR read it. It makes better sense if you do. Even without, Bear touches your heart. Winne is as bad ass as her sister. Her heart as big & cuddly as Bear. The beauty of it all lies in their love for each other & their family. Just pure devious smartness of women & men who respect these awesome women. YOU WILL LOVE THEM! True review of my ARC!

I LOVED BEAR AND WINNIE'S STORY! NAT LOGAN IS A NEW AUTHOR TO ME AND I AM SO EXCITED THAT I HAVE FOUND ANOTHER GOOD ONE. SHE GIVES YOU THE WHOLE DEAL HERE NOT ONLY THE COUPLE BUT THE FAMILY THAT COMES WITH THEM. YOU WILL BE CRYING ONE SECOND AND LAUGHING THE NEXT. THIS IS A MUST READ SERIES AND I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK

This is book 2 of the Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC Series. Bear and Winnie's story runs at the same time as book 1 and can be read as a standalone, however, I highly recommend reading the first book prior to this one.
Winnie is sweet, but also fierce. I super enjoyed the love story she and Bear shared.

I knew Bear's story was going to be tough...
... But the story around him and woven throughout the club was everything I hoped for.
No 3rdABU, a HEA, solid character development and you have another brilliant read.
I'm a digital gal for the most part but this series is going to wind up on my shelves once I'm done with travelling!
