The papa bear finally gets his mate...

Sam Weston is tired of his son's clumsy attempts to set him up. They clearly didn't inherit his talent for matchmaking, and besides, he's still in love with his fated mate who has been gone for twenty years. But when his sons make an ad to promote their island resort and show off their sexy dad, it somehow draws in the one woman he still wants. Sam thinks he's dreaming, until he realizes the love of his life has no memory of their lives together.

Joanne Weston knows from the moment she sees Sam that she made the right decision to come to the Caymans after seeing that cheesy ad. For twenty years, she's been been trying to figure out who she is and recover the memory loss she sustained after a terrible accident. The moment she looks into Sam's gorgeous blue eyes, she knows there's something between them that transcends everything. She just needs him to help her remember.

Sparks quickly fly between the two reunited lovers, and Sam is overjoyed to have his mate back in his arms. But as memories from the past creep ever-closer, Sam and Joanne will be presented with the most difficult decision they have ever made. Remain happy but ignorant about the reasons they were separated, or face the truth, no matter how painful it may be?

Loved it

I loved this series I'm so glad that the mom got her memory back but the question is who shot her was it an accident, did someone do it to keep them apart, or something else?

Awe so a perfect ending to a great little series. Terry Bolryder writes short books but always packed with goodness. This is the last of Polar Heat and I’ve loved getting to know these gorgeous polar bears and their mates. It’s even better now mommas home! Those little cubs are just so so cute! Great if you like shifter books and quick reads

Beautiful

I am so pleased that Sam got his story. It answered many questions that arose in this series. Answered them quite satisfactorily even. A beautifully well done conclusion to this particular series.

Remem-bear Me by Terry Bolryder.
3 out of 5 stars.
Sam Weston lost his mate a long time ago when she ran away. He wasn't able to go searching for her as he had three young boys to look after. He's made a happy life for them all, and they've grown up to have families of their own now too. It's when "grandpa" is watching his grandkids for the night that there is a knock at the door, and he opens it to find someone that he never thought he'd see again. His mate.
Joanne has been living half a life since her accident, and she doesn't even know who she is. All she knows is that she recognised Sam when she saw him on a television advert for the hotel resort and she's come straight out to see him.
But will she still want to stay when she learns the full truth about herself and what she is?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Remem-bear Me is a heartfelt and tender romance that explores the power of love, memory, and second chances. Sam Weston’s quiet strength and patient devotion shine as he reunites with Joanne, the love of his life who has lost her memories of their past together. The island setting adds a warm, tropical backdrop to their emotional journey, filled with sparks, hope, and bittersweet moments.

The story beautifully balances the joy of rediscovered love with the tension of confronting painful truths, making it more than just a romance—it’s about healing and forgiveness. Fans of shifter romances will appreciate the gentle, soulful connection between the leads and the stakes that go beyond just physical attraction. A sweet and moving read about fighting for love against all odds.

Terry has broken the polar bear mold with this one!! 5 PAWS errr STARS

It was like coming back to your heart. She was still his. She had to be. This is such an amazing story!! It is a polar bear fairy tail! snicker I was so excited to read this one! When I was reading the first three books in this series - one for each of Sam's sons - I always felt like something was 'missing' or left-out when it came to Sam & his mate's story, but even I could never have predicted this story and how it plays out! I was truly hoping that there was some kind of reason - a great one at that - as to why Jo had taken off, and stayed away, and even though I had some theories, I didn't think on it too hard as I didn't realize that Terry was going to do their story. BUT SHE DID!!! And what a story it is! Let me just say this - I did not predict anything close to what happened nor how it ended! *sigh* isn't that the best kind of stories though? I am trying hard to not give anything aware & ruin their story, but I am sure I can say this much - I loved when they went out on his yacht ...hmmm, I guess that would say too much! I adored the updates on the boys & their mates! Oh! I can say that I laughed out loud with how Jo's memory starts to 'come back' for lack of a better word. Read it! You will see and hopefully love it as much as I do! As with any other of Terry's books I have read so far, this one will stay in my 'books to read over & over'. When I reviewed One in a Bear-llion I said this: "With all of the little hints that Terry gave us in the first two books, and then the outright teasing in this book...well all I can say is that Terry had better be planning at least one more - longer- book to get ALL of Sam's story! Past, present and future!" There is not one word I would change and I am ecstatic that Sam's story did in fact get told!! Now I hope that Terry has plans to do at the very least one more story in this series, possibly set in the future - if near future, how the mates are all doing, how many kids they have, etc. or if further in the future, maybe on Sam's grandcubs with possibly Sam helping them to find their own mates! Wouldn't that be pawsome?? You are correct! I love this series way too much to say good-bye to them! Terry is one very talented & gifted author that is able to catch your attention right from the beginning, heck even from those amazing covers!!! My attention was fully focused on the story from start to finish, I couldn't put it down until I knew what was going to happen! I loved that this story was "different" than the first 3 books. In those ones, Sam sets up his 3 sons with their mates while in this one, the boys try to do the same for him. The problem? He already has a mate! So this one is focused on finding out why they are not together and haven't been for 20 years and how to confront their past to try to have a future together. To me, that is one of the many points that are a perfect example of just how gifted Terry truly is!

Wanting freedom from her not so independent life, Joanne Weston ran away from her husband and 3 sons twenty years ago. Suffering from amnesia she sees a commercial advertising Sam Weston's hotel in the Caymans. She flies to the Caymans in the hopes of finding past memories.

Sam has succeeded in matching his sons with perfect mates. Now alone in his suite baby sitting his four adorable energetic grandchildren, he is overcome with joy knowing his sons have found the happiness they deserve. His sons have been trying for months without success to find him a mate that would mend his broken heart. His heart knows there is no replacement for the MATE that left them all. A knock at the door breaks his thoughts. When he opens it-standing before him is his very lovely MATE, the mother of his sons. Overwhelmed with joy he embraces her. Puzzled at his reaction she questions if they have met before.

Terry always manages to draw the reader into her books with vivid descriptions of breathtaking scenery, a story that is enchanting as well as memorable and never boring. This story is filled with humor, tender love scenes, and powerful engaging characters that make you melt. Joanne has to regain her memory; If she does, can she commit to Sam and her family? Her 3 sons need to forgive her for leaving them. FIND OUT WHAT AND WHO TRIGGERS JOANNE'S MEMORY. I highly recommend this book and the series. This was a heart whelming story and a fantastic read. {I was given an ARC for an honest review}.

We asked for it and she gave it to us! And what a gift it is. Papa Bear successfully played matchmaker for his three sons. Turn about and all that. But Dad is getting tired of dealing with the attempts. He had his love, his mate and lost her twenty years ago. No one else will do.

Finally, the sons get it right. Unknown to them the next visit is from that very love he lost. He is amazed and almost speechless. She doesn't seem as aware as to who he is, because she doesn't know. A horrible accident took her and her memories away.

Can they find the love they had? Will the years apart keep them from each other. Sam remembers what they were, Jo only that there is a connection. Can they find the answers? Is Sam willing to chance losing her again if she remembers? And what about their three sons? How do they feel about their absentee mother returning? Lots of questions and Ms Bolryder does a great job of leading us through all the ups and downs, fears and joys.

We all wanted Sam to find love--Thanks Terry for answering our pleas in such an enjoyable way. A strong recommend from me.

I was provided an ARC for an honest review.

What a great way to end the series!!! Sam has been doing his best to live his life after his mate left him to raise their three sons twenty years ago. After matching up all three sons to their mates, they try and return the favor by matching him up, the only problem is that he already has a match, their mom. One day, while watching his four grandkids, Sam opens his door to find none other then his long lost mate, Joanna, on the other side. Jo was shot twenty years ago and doesn't remember anything about her life before then. She sees Sam in a commercial about the resort and can't help but feel drawn to him and the resort. Sam and Jo spend a bliss filled week together before memories of the past start to intrude on their fantasy situation, Sam is afraid that when Jo remembers her bear, she'll leave him like she did last time, regardless of her promises never to leave him again. I am so glad that Sam finally got his HEA and I liked getting a glimpse into the lives of Sky, Sebastian and Scott's lives with their mates and kids. I'm sad to see the end of the series but at the same time it was a fantastic way to end the series without leaving anything hanging.

Reconnecting and it feels soo Good ;)

I read the 1st book in the series with Sky and Leah and their cardboard chemistry fell Sooo very very flat for me,both them and their story was soo simple and basic I didn't find them interesting in the slightest and barely was able to finish the book,but Sam their Dad reconnecting with their Mom Jo was really fun and even if you did hear them repeating the same worried to themselves soo many times, you start to think ,if only I had a dollar for every time they said such and such I'd have .......
But it was soo sweet and wonderful seeing lost love getting a second chance..... Only regret wish Mom ( romance or not) could have been see spending some time helping heal her sons, only one REAL scene of her with them in book and it almost felt like blink and you missed it...
Otherwise really,really nice ;) not sure if I'll read more but this is a definite keeper to read again some day ;)

This is the fourth and final book in the Polar Heat Series. Overall I enjoyed the series, I really liked the concept of Polar Bears in the Cayman's and they were fun nice easy reads. I also enjoyed the epilogues. This story is about Sam, the boys dad and clears up the mystery of the missing mother, Joanne. Again this book really showed me that a lot was glossed over, that events happened what appeared too quickly, but for the size of the book I guess that would be expected to some degree. I did find myself a little frustrated though, because of the quickness of everything. I also found that the shifters didn't shift very often, which makes sense it would be hard to explain Polar Bear sightings in the Cayman's but I felt the loss at the end of the story. However, as I said overall I enjoyed the stories, they were quick easy reads with an intriguing concept.

End of the series.

I accidentally posted this review for book 3. Oops.

I'd give this more of a 3.75 stars. Not quite a full 4 stars but more than 3 stars.

So we finally find out what happened with their mama. She wasn't what I expected but ok. I figured there would be more of a flashback of their life together before she left. Something. I don't know.

This takes place about a year after all the Cubs were born. That was cute with their father watching all 4 grandkids at once. They're definitely a handful.

This was an amusing little series. Very quick read too. But I do feel these stories could possibly be flushed out more. I do love the characters tho. Just feeling like something was missing. I'm not sure I would get other books by this author.

Reunited

Sam and Jo's story was very, very special. After 20 years of suffering and longing for his mate, who ran off and left him with three small boys to raise on his own, Sam hears a knock on his door. A knock that would change everything.

No sets out to locate the man from the commercial she has seen. His face triggers something buried deep in her memory. She has suffered from severe amnesia for so long that she needs answers.

Loved this final story. It brought the whole series full circle. I hope the author continues with the cubs stories when they are groan. Maybe these cubs will go to Alaska and that will be the setting for these Polar bears, maybe at Christmas time.

Enjoyed the entire series beginning with book 1 Bear-ever Yours (Polar Heat Book 1), Some Bear to Love (Polar Heat Book 2), One in a Bear-llion (Polar Heat Book 3), Remem-bear Me (Polar Heat Book 4).
Father Sam, and his sons Sky, Sebastien, Scott great books about polar bears living in a warm climate.
Sons Sky, Sebastien and Scott decide to give their dad Sam a taste of his medicine by finding a mate for him since their father did same for them by sending out letters to 3 ladies informing them that they had won trips to his restort. Not knowing the mate they chose is their mother who they thought for years had abandoned them when they were children.

It was alright.. The amnesia was a bit of a let down.
For me anything shifter and medical doesn't fit right.
Shifter are supposed to nearly indestructible .
(I as reading another book where the alpha was forsaking his
Mate because he had a brain tumor, or so he thought.). I was disappointed in
That out come too..
But seeing as I am a horrible writer. Terry did a great job of explaining the 20 year absence,

Oi ...... I have mixed feelings about this one I don't know if I would ever trust my mother after that for the simply reason that she ran in the first place so the fact that she was coming back wouldn't be a saving point for me and I sure would not ever let her around my cubs or mate
I know everything worked out in this book and I did love reading the book I just wouldn't have been able to let things go that easy ... I can't wait to read more from this author in the future though .. :)

I was so glad to see that the papa bear was going to get his mate!
After playing matchmaker to get his sons mated, he's finally successful and now has 4 beautiful grandchildren to show for it.
But his mate is now back and asking questions to fill in the blanks of her memory after suffering from amnesia.
Will he be able to help her regain her memory? Will Jo run away again after she remembers who she is?

Remem-bear Me(Polar Heat book 4)BY Terry Bolryder

So glad Sam got his own story with a great HEA. Such a wonderful series as each addition brings you more evolving of the family members who are dealing with their own personal issues and from a past circumstances. Each book can be read alone but I recommend you get them all for the full experience.
