The Grizzly MC #10

Bearing it for the Outlaw

Rate this book
Drevin South, the last unattached original Grizzly MC member, knows that at this stage in the game he’s probably missed his chance at finding love. But when Allie Harper comes into Steel Corner, his bear won’t back away, and he’s not about to fight the bastard on this.

Allie is starting over, staying healthy and hoping to start a life in the small Colorado town of Steel Corner. When she meets grizzly bear shifter Drevin something inside of her awakens. He frightens but arouses her, making her want things she’s never thought she’d be lucky enough to have. But her past is tainted, and she doesn’t know if anyone could love her if he knew the truth.

Can Drevin accept Allie’s dark past enough to make her his old lady? Can he show her that she’s all he wants, and that he’ll do anything to make her his?

Drevin South has been waiting to make his move on Allie Harper. He knows she is the woman he wants as his mate, but he senses she is not ready to take that step. Drevin has a plan tough, the rough biker plans to properly court Allie even if she is ready for the next step.

Allie is ashamed of her past but she finds herself drawn to Drevin and is worried he will reject her if he knew the truth. When Drevin makes his intent known, Allie needs to decide if she is all in.

Great book, I was surprised by Drevin, he turned out to be quite the gentleman. This has always been an entertaining series and looks like the younger members of the MC maybe up next for a story. Great read.

Such a sweet story! May December romance that totally works! I loved it. It had more couple time than the previous books, thank goodness! For those worried about typical biker club drama and whores, have no fear. There is none of that here!

I really enjoyed catching up on the previous couples, but I do not feel you need to have read the previous books to get this one. It is really about this couple and no ongoing outside drama like in previous books. It does a little set up for future books but inothing major.

Drevin has watched his friends and even their kids find their mates for the last 20 years. He thought he might never find her. So you know it was REALLY special to him when he found her. And he treated her that way.

I never thought I would say I read a biker shifter book (much less a Jenika book) that was just a sweet romance. Sure it had some hot sex, but he wanted them to be about much more than sex. So sweet! And unlike the other books, it had an epilogue!!!!

Totally safe read.

Quick read!!!
I really enjoyed catching up on the previous couples
It was nice to see the last original Grizzly get his old lady!! Aww, what a adorable Bear..Love how he wanted to have her in his life but didn't know what to do.

Drevin is in his fifties, which you don't usually find in a main character, but it worked! The only thing missing was the bit of "drama" usually found near the end. So happy to see Drevin get his happy ending! Loved this one.

I can't wait to find out what has Mason so buggered! I hope his story is in the near future!!

Waiting for Drevin to find his old lady was worth the amazing story he received. Jenika took a break from the nuttiness to find the perfect place for one bear who needs his one. The story of Allie and Drevin’s love was a complication free sweet love story. The lust among the pages rivals all of the Grizzly MC books with an extra dose of sugar from a bear who knows what he wants. A beautiful glimpse into the lives of two people who were ready to meet their destiny.

I've read every single book in this series. This story about Drevin who is the last of the original 6 Grizzly members without an old lady, is one of the best IMO. I loved Drevin and Allie together their story ticked all the right boxes for me. As usual the sex scenes were hot, Drevin envied his club brothers who had found happiness, but he thought he had reached the age where finding a woman to be his had passed him by. But when Allie moves to town he can't stop thinking about her. She has had a rough time and is trying to make a new start.
Loved this story, Drevin is a big bad dirty talking bear shifter, Allie never stood a chance at resisting him. She asked Drevin to do something I dont think any of the women have asked in the previous stories, I've always wanted them to so I was pleased that Allie did. I love this series and can't wait for whoever is next to get their story.

Drevin has been in the series since the beginning, and it's great to see him get his happy-ever-after, especially since all the other guys in the MC have had their women/wives long enough for the next generation to already be in the MC. Sweet story at times about his and his love's struggles. Always count on Jenika Snow for some hot times; she won't let you down with this book. This is a 3.5 for me, especially because Drevin finally gets his story and woman. I always round up, so this is a 4.

Thanks for reading!

Draven and Allie. Pretty sad when I have to DNF a 100 pg novella. It was boring. Skimmed the sex. I coulda called him Draven the dweeb. Except for the time when he tried to murder the dumb ahole drunk who taunted him. Which he blames on his bear... Like- don't hate me babe cause my bear can't control his temper. It wasn't long after that, that I dnf'ed it. Lost respect for him and well she was a shapeless lump of self pity. Story appeared to be going nowhere still at 85%. I was intrigued by Mason's story though.

Eveey sentence repeats the same one thing for dozens of sentences. The opening scene from when he starts to walk towards her is ten pages of him thinking that he was loosing control being close to her. Literally every single sentence on those ten pages, 200 ebook lines, are just the author repeating that he was loosing coontrol being near her, with very little to no variation in the way that is worded on every one of those sentences. I can't believe anyone reads such extreme repetition actually leaves good reviews.

The poor and lazy writing of this author to repeat the same sentence for ten pages isn't the only problem with this book. There are typos, wrong words, wring tenses, missing words, and so many other problems. This sentence is just one example on the very first pages, which shows the author can't possibly have even done a basic read through, let alone any editing, to have missed a big mistake like this in the first pages of the very first chapter, "Everything about him had his blood pumping...".

Clearly should be "Everything about her", because it's a woman not a man he'sthinking about. The author doesn't have the talent to write a third person narrative, because while reading this it's like reading very posh people talking about themselves and their actions but giving themselves third person titles. It wasn't enjoyable to read. I also didn't like the way the author described skinny women, fake, plastic, not real looking, skanks etc, all because of course this is another curvy girl book, that aren't really plump females. I'm curvy myself but found it very offensive how she describes thin women.

It also introduces a number of other people and has a chapter that is another brother, Marcus, meeting his woman, Corin, for the first time. I'm guessing the author will just copy and paste that meeting into that couple's book, and it's just more proof, along with the extreme repetition here, that this author hasn't taken time to create or write a story here. It's all just outline and heavy repetition to pad and stretch the word count.

I just saw the author's name while leaving this review and she's one of the 'push em out author's', who push out hundreds of books, literally hundreds, and clearly she is a prime example of the old saying that quantity does not make for quailty. This really is not good. Can't believe anyone would read this author and think the way she writes one thought repeatedly for ten ebook pages and more is enjoyable or makes for a story. It's not enjoyable and it doesn't create a story.

Bearing It For The Outlaw - The Grizzly MC Book 10 - By Jenika Snow

This is a novella that is set two decades on from the sixth book of the series and focuses on Drevin South who finally will get his story  told which I am absolutelydelighted about. The other books can be read as a standalone read and the books after the sixth are more focused on the next generation of Grizzly MC family members but I highly recommend reading them in order to fully appreciate the true characters of the Grizzlies.
Drevin South is a bear shifter in his early fifties, the last of the original founding bear bikers who has sadly not found his soul mate yet. He yearns for a woman of his own, a family but begins to doubt that he will ever be lucky enough to have either in his life. However as soon as Allie Harper steps foot in the Grizzly's bar for a job all bets are off. One look at the redheaded beauty and Drevin and his bear are lost. They know Allie has a past, everyone does but hers is filled with pain and shame no twenty eight year old should of been made to feel. When Allie finds her inner strength to approach Drevin she will soon learn that he is her destiny. I adored these two characters so much. I felt for Draven not having his happily ever after like the other originals so when he got his storyvI was so happy. He is the perfect, strong, possessive, alpha, loving mate I knew he would be. Allie is so strong and has overcome so much and deserves to be loved as only a Grizzly can. I loved seeing the other  original brothers again during the story. It was also interesting getting a glimpse of that other MC there could be trouble ahead.  I enjoyed the tease of Marcus, Kink's son from the Brothers Of Menace MC and his interaction with Corin Harsher, the cashier at the convenience store. I'm hopeful for some sparks to fly between those two, and their story is continued in Reckless - The Sons - The Brothers Of Menace MC - The Next Generation - By - Jenika Snow. Also the Drama brewing between Mason and Jakob the next generation Grizzlies there is definitely more to discover there too. Still so much to look forward to for sure! There were some spelling mistakes but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and can't wait for the next book, I loved it as I have all the others, which probably explains why I have read this series more than once and hope that you will too. Happy Reading.
5 out of 5 stars.

I like Jenika Snow's story plots. I don't dislike the fundamental story plot of any of the books I have read of hers. However, this did nothing for me. I have read a few books from the Grizzly series, but sporadically and not in the correct order, maybe that is part of my problem. Maybe I need to reread the series, but I honestly don't think I will. I like the idea of the Grizzly MC and each book is technically their own book, but the characters grow and develop within each of the other books as well. Maybe I would have liked Drevin better had I got to know him in other books.

As a stand alone story I didn't care for this one. It was too much. Too wet, too drippy, too possessive, all around too much. It took me out of the story and I felt disconnected. I almost didn't finish, but I am glad I did. The last chapter bumped it up to a 3 star.

Nicely Done

This author continues to surprise me in her stories withe the Grizzlies. This one showed me how much unconditional acceptance could be and feel. To go from the addiction of drugs with her blood family turning their backs on her, to her getting clean and her blood family still turning their backs on her, to making a new start in a small town, wow. I have lived that life as well. It shows me hope. This author is amazing in her ability to softer tones in craft of Dark Erotica. I can't wait to read her next book in this series.

I had high hopes but the story just really bored me. I love the cover though. Maybe doing a marathon reading wasn't the best idea as I really didn't appreciate the new generations of Grizzly MC.

I was given the honor to read an arc for a honest review for Bearing It For the Outlaw by Jenika Snow. This is my honest review.

The last of the originals. That is Drevin South. His original Grizzly MC brothers have all settled down and had families. They were all bear shifters and hard alpha bikers but they found their balance. They found their mate. Drevin was in his fifties now and he's almost given up hope. He longs for that connection. His bear has never claimed a mate. He had women but not the keeping kind. His only family are the mc brothers and their families.
Allie Harper is a twenty-eight year old with a horrid past. She is no saint or angle. She is running hard from her past. But it somehow still keeps her prisoner. She hopes her new friend never finds out. She lands in Steel Corner to try to piece her life back together.
When Drevin first lays eyes on Allie he has an animalistic attraction to her. He knows he wants her. He thinks his life may be too much for her so he abides his time.
Allie feels Drevin watching her as she is working. She is drawn to him. She feels he couldn't possibly be attracted to her. She has to keep her distance. She has to fight the smoldering attraction she has for the bear shifter.
Bearing It For the Outlaw is a great read. It is a mc/shifter novella but it is a great love story. It is a journey so worth the ride. It has the sizzling hot sex scenes. Did I say sizzling? But it has two people reaching out for each other.
Jenika Snow you did a great job again. Thank you for your hard work.
Please read the Authors Note at the beginning of the book.

Sweet little book with a HEA to spend a couple of hours with, but if you are looking for a book that evokes anything much like the first few with the 'original' MC members, it's not here. I must have pre-ordered this because I told myself after I read the last book that I was 'done' with this series when it shifted (lol) to being about the offspring.

It's 20+ years after the very start of the series, and this is about the 'kids' (also bikers, most) but up pops a guy named Draven (in his 50's now) who I don't remember from the beginning books (maybe he was a prospect?), but he's supposedly the last single member of the original MC. The original guys now sit around in a back room and smoke and drink beer, and their 20-something sons are now partying up front.

Anyhoooo, Draven finally meets his mate who is only 26 or 28 (also not a favorite thing for me in a book). Of course, she's a 'Curvy girl' (that being anyone who is not a size two, according to the 'curvy girl' books)... sheesh.

It was ok, but that's about all I have to say for it. I didn't hate it or even dislike it, but it just seems like maybe it's time to stop this series because it has nowhere to go.

Just as I think Jenika can't write another hot sexy alpha bear she surprises me. I think Drevin is my new favorite member of the Grizzly MC. Drevin is a confirmed bachelor and a original member. He has watched all his brothers and their children find thier mates but Drevin hasn't had any desire to find his. Meet Allie a young woman who is running from her past and starting over in Steel Corner. Drevin's bear knows that Allie is thier mate but he feels that he is too old and bad for Allie. She has been damaged by her past but feels an attraction towards Drevin. Allie feels that she is not good enough for Drevin. Can these two get over themselves and be together? The animalistic attraction is crazy hot. Jenika knows how to write crazy hot scenes between her characters. I think Drevin and Allie's are the hottest in this series. Jenika also shows you insights into past characters current lives. I loved seeing what other Grizzly members were up to. Once again Jenika wrote a hot sexy alpha and a strong female character.

Loved it!! One thing about this author is her writing style easily draws you into the story. This one doesn't have a lot of drama but is more a sweet romantic read with some steamy hot scenes. Drevin is a badass member of the Grizzly MC. He's bear shifter that has never felt the pull to claim a mate/old lady until he meets Allie. Allie is running from a horrible past that she's trying to forget. She feels the attraction to Drevin but doesn't think she's good enough for him. Drevin is determined to prove her wrong. Loved their chemistry and interaction. Definitely a bitter sweet story.

I always wondered what happened to Drevin. All the others got married, had children, became grandparents but Drevin was never mentioned, I think Tarren and then Tawny mentioned him once but that was it. So it was nice seeing him get his HEA.

Allie was sweet. She fit right in with Drevin and it helped that she was almost thirty and not someone just barely out of her teens, so she was very compatible with Drevin...plus for a man in his fifties...he looked great, fought like a MMA fighter and still fucked like a Porn Star so go Allie!
