Found (Mated to the Cave Bear) Book One Of The Dualis
Curvy girl Jenna has been chosen to go back in time to mate with a cave man in order to save the human race. Some might see that as an honour, but Jenna is doing it for money. Tworn Corporation have paid off her mom's medical bills and when she returns they will pay her a large amount of money for her services.
That's the part that scares her. Because her "services" consist of going back in time to mate with a Neanderthal man. Attached by some kind of tether, once she is pregnant she will be pulled back through the wormhole and give her child to science.
Injured on landing and left to the mercy of a Neanderthal, Haran, she soon learns this is not going to be as easy as she thought. Because as time goes by she finds herself falling for her saviour and this new and exciting world.
Yet danger threatens in the form of the Masu. A terror that Haran will not explain to her. But when she learns of Haran's other side, the pieces start to fit together. Only it’s much too late.
Contains scenes only suitable for adults. If you are offended by sexual content this book might not be for you.

DELICIOUSLY SWEET AND COMPLETELY CAPTIVATING !!!
Found: Mate of the Cave Bear, The Dualis Book One
Oh My! Harmony Raines has done it again! And just what has she done, you ask? She has published an amazing new serial called The Dualis. Yes, I said serial which means multiple books and dare I say it - cliffhangers! Yikes! But don't despair folks! Although the serial does consist of three separate installments, fortunately for us, Raines released all three on the same day! Woohoo - no waiting! I settled in and decided to read all three in one sitting so I'm writing only one review for the entire series and will post it for each book. Never fear, there will be NO spoilers! Harmony Raines has always exhibited exceptional talent and imagination in her writing but in this series, she has far exceeded my expectation of her skill in creating something new, fresh and original that encompasses not one genre, but several. She has skillfully combined paranormal romance with science fiction and fantasy to create a fascinating and intriguing world of the past and future, filled to the brim with action, adventure, suspense, love and hope. The story is original, exciting, suspenseful, thrilling, heartbreaking, heartwarming, sweet, romantic and sensual. These are only a few of the words that came to mind while I was reading this story. The dialogue is clean, smart and flows well. The characters are intriguing, captivating and engaging. This is a romance and does include some sex scenes, however, they don't overpopulate the book. Raines has dared to venture outside the box with this story and I love it! Now, let's talk about the basics of the story itself.
The premise of the story:
It is now the twenty second century and through the use of research and technology, scientists have learned how to manipulate and alter human DNA. For too many years, children have been genetically engineered by doctors and scientists allowing parents to choose eye color, body type and even gender. These developments have contaminated the gene pool and brought evolution to a halt. The world is now in desperate need of new blood, or rather uncontaminated blood from the past with new stem cells.
Now for the plot of the story:
Tworn Corporation has developed a time machine which can create a worm hole enabling a person to travel through the time. It is their intention to send a young woman 30,000 years into the past to find a primitive man, become pregnant with his child and then return through the wormhole by means of a tether, to the future. Her child would be used for the benefit of mankind and become the savior of the world. Huh? No pressure - right? Jenna is chosen to be that woman because she met several vital and important requirements. She has no fillings in her teeth, he's never had any broken bones or surgical procedures and most importantly, she's a virgin meaning she nor her DNA has ever been tainted by a male from her time. She considers herself to be unattractive and unremarkable. Obviously Tworn Corporation agrees and believes there is absolutely nothing to distinguish her as being from the twenty second century. Although some may see this opportunity as a great honor, Jenna is not doing this for recognition nor the advancement of mankind. She's simply doing it for the money. Now don't start thinking badly of Jenna just yet. She wants the money for purely unselfish motives - her mother became terminally ill and as a result, Jenna inherited the astronomical debt for the medical bills after her mother's death. She's from a very poor family and could never live long enough to pay off the debt, so here she is, about to travel back in time. She's given six months of training to prepare her for her journey but Jenna soon suspects there is much more to this mission than Mr. Trimble with Tworn Corporation is telling her but she has no idea what it could be. She begins to have her doubts but fears for her safety if she doesn't complete her mission. But they never prepare her for the entry into the land of the past and I mean that quite literally because she tumbles from the wormhole high above the ground with nothing to help to break her fall. She plummets into a heavily forested area and is seriously injured. She is found by Haran who is a Dualis, a primitive, a "cave bear", who reluctantly and begrudgingly nurses her back to health. This is how Haran refers to himself - a cave bear, a Dualis, meaning of two natures, man and beast. Haran is a primitive bear shifter and lives alone in a cave. After the heartbreaking loss of his parents at a young age, he has chosen to be alone and never take a mate. But Haran soon discovers that fate can never be denied. The attraction he feels for the strange young woman proves to be too strong to resist and he quickly falls in love with the beautiful, curvaceous Masu that falls from the sky. She should be his enemy, not his mate. Huh? He only kills for food but the Masu hunt and kill for the pleasure they draw from cruelty and fear. She is Masu and not to be trusted! Nope, never going to happen - he will resist! He will??? Jenna has no clue that she looks like the Masu, his enemy. Heck, she doesn't even know who they are but one thing she does know, she's incredibly attracted to Haran and she wants him - in her arms and in her bed, or should I say her furs. Jenna now realizes that quite possibly, she may never want to give up her child if she becomes pregnant nor return to her own time! What? Will Jenna survive her injuries? Will she become pregnant? Will she ever return to her time? Can Haran protect her from his enemies? Or will Haran perish in his fight with the Masu? Are there other shifters in this time and if so, where are they and will they help? Oh my! No spoilers here but I will say this......Beautiful, virtuous heroine-check! Sexy, primitive but intelligent bear shifter-check! Large cast of fascinating characters including other types of shifters-check! Oops! Uh-oh! I may have just let a little spoiler slip out! Danger, drama, suspense, action, heinous enemies and evil machinations-check! Heated attraction, sweet romance, heartbreaking angst and some heartwarming, arousing sex-you bet! That and a whole lot more!
Execution of the story:
My personal opinion - Well done! I'm not a science/tech geek so I don't require a detailed scientific or technical explanation on how the time travel was actually accomplished, but I was totally captivated by the true essence and message of this story - love can prevail. Remember folks, this is fiction and fantasy, so keep an open mind. If you want to try something original and a little different yet quite refreshing, then this is the book for you. Deliciously sweet, completely captivating and delightfully entertaining!

Jenna lives in the 22nd century and humanity is dying out because of genetic engineering.Tworn Corp is funding the whole thing to send her 30,000 years into the past via time machine to mate with a neanderthal. When she gets pregnant, there is a tether to bring her back to her time. She is a perfect specimen, a virgin, no broken bones, no fillings. The reason she has to to this is because her mother's medical bills were so high before she died, and Tworn paid them off. She has a bad feeling that it's not the first attempt. She enters the time machine and it sends her back, but she falls from hundreds of feet and breaks ribs as she hits giant trees all the way down until she lands hard on the ground.
Haran, a dualis is a shape shifter and his kind is being killed off by the Masu, which look more like modern man.
He finds Jenna and his bear wants her as a mate, while his human side sees her as the enemy. He forces himself to pick her up and carry her to his cave. He takes care of her injuries, going so far as to take her to the bathroom with a bowl of water and a sponge object to clean herself.
He can speak English, though Jenna has to teach him some of her words and he does the same for her. He explains what a dualis is and she wants to see his bear, which causes a mating frenzy within him.
Will Jenna go back to the future or stay with Haran after she gets pregnant? Will the Masu find them? First of the series, and I am hooked, just because it is a new take on a shifter book, and the content is very interesting.

Once again I have found a good book in this story. I found it hard to put it down until the end.

Jenna ispart of an experiment to save the human race. All she has to do is go back into the future and return pregnant by a Neanderthal. When she lands though she is injured and that is how Harsh finds her. The communication is slow to figure out between them. During their time spent together an affection grows between them. That continues until the fall in love. Soon Jenna finds she is pregnant, but doesn't wish to go back home. When out on a hint, she is taken by another tribe. You have to read the next story to see if she can be saved. Great story.

Jeanna who was this curvy girl had agreed to go back in time and let a cave man get her pregnant an donate it to science. As the time grew close she wonder if she could really do it but found out there was no backing out.
Haran who was this Neanderthal bear shifter was surprised that his true mate had appeared. This was truly one thing he did not want. Now he will have to claim his mate and take care of her and the baby they will have.
Jeanna never thought she would fall in love. She never dreamed she would met a bear shifter. She hope to never go back to the future. There is danger around the corner and sacrifice that must be made.

This was a good book but is part 1 of 3. I only read this as I like the author.
Janna is sent back in time to get pregnant by a Neanderthal. What Janna finds is a bear shifter.
Haran is wary of Janna even if she is his mate. He did not want a mate or to have cubs so the Masu could kill them. At the end of this book Janna gives herself up to the Masu so Haran can escape.
Will not know what happens next until we read book 2.
This is my honest review of this book.

75% monologue 25% dialogue. Hope book 2 and 3 don't follow the same pattern.
October 2, 2016
I really enjoyed this story but it ended too soon and I don't usually buy books under 200 pages long so I didn't buy the second book which I would have liked to read
April 2, 2017
Very good start. The plot is good sci-fi, time travel. Interesting, draws you into their world and hooks you enough to want more about this sexy bear and his mate.
