Mated to the Broken Grizzly
Not yet published
Expected 17 Nov 26A monster killed my father. Now, it's hunting me. My only chance at survival is the fated mate I never knew I had—the shifter hell-bent on denying our bond.
A week ago, I had no idea shifters existed. But with a feral freak after me, I have no choice but to turn to a powerful bear for protection. Mato, the grizzly elder of his pack, does three things upon seeing me:
He says I’m his fated mate.
He declares himself my protector.
And he vows we will NEVER be together...
The brooding bear shifter is frustratingly good-looking, frustratingly loyal, and just plain frustrating. The hunting knife I carry for protection? I might stick him with it if he doesn’t let up.
He constantly swears he won’t take me as his mate, that he’s only keeping me here in the mountains for protection, but I feel the truth every time we touch, every time I look into those blue bear eyes. My fated bear wants me but won’t risk losing me to the violence of this secret shifter world. Yet I can’t go back to being alone, not now that fate has given me a chance at a real family again with this grumpy mate of mine.
But if we can’t stop the feral shifter—the monster driven mad by my bond with Mato—our fate will be decided for us.
Ready for a dark adventure through the hidden world of shifters? They've been hiding among us, fated to humans unaware of their existence. Bears. Wolves. Witches devoted to hunting them to extinction. Each book in this series is dual POV, and every book ends with a guaranteed HEA for its main couple. Between these pages you'll find deep lore to match the romance, emotion-driven spice that heats to boiling points, and fleshed-out characters who will make you laugh, cry, and absolutely swoon. And, yes, your favorite side characters get their own books!

About the author
Leia Mavis
1 book3 followersLeia Mavis writes emotionally deep paranormal romance. She loves her simmer as much as her spice, her side characters as much as her mains, and her lore as much as her HEAs. A book without banter isn't worth reading, and her stories are full of wit, humor, and tension, sprinkled with bits of her weirdness.
When she's not writing, she's usually drinking another americano, playing cozy games, or going on short hikes.

🐻 Mated to the Broken Grizzly 🐻
I absolutely loved this book from start to finish! From the very first chapter, I was completely drawn in and couldn’t wait to see where the story would take me.
I adored everything about this one – the characters, the unexpected twists and turns, and, most importantly, the beautiful relationship between the two main characters. It was such a gorgeous story, full of emotion, connection and everything I love in a romance. ❤️
This was also my very first bear shifter read, and I think I’ve discovered a new favourite! Move over, because apparently bears are now up there with my beloved dragons. 🐉🐻 (Although dragons will always have a special place in my heart!)
A book I thoroughly enjoyed and would absolutely recommend to anyone who loves a little shifter romance!

The plot was easy to follow and made for an enjoyable read. The ending got a little giggle from me, and I’m definitely keen to see where the series goes next!

Review of advance copy received from Author
Tell me you need to go to anger management therapy without telling me you need to go to anger management therapy 🤣🤣🤣. How deliciously and unexpectedly did I enjoy this book heroine and her mate. THE FOUND FAMILY HERE IS ALSO EVERYTHING TO ME! Witty, all consuming and a little stabby thr author made this book worth the read.
