A BBW in danger + the hot bear shifter who'll do anything to protect her + a dangerous fight with the mafia = one thrilling romance!

>When curvy Helen Thompson witnesses a mob boss committing a crime that might finally put him in prison, she becomes the mafia's next target. Fortunately she knows the perfect place to hide: Aunt Sally's bee farm in the country.

But when the mob follows her to her refuge, there's only one man who can help: Bear shifter Thomas Glenn, former fighter pilot turned billionaire.

When Tom sees Helen, he instantly recognizes her as his mate—but there's one big problem: Helen would never date a billionaire. In a moment of panic, Tom pretends to be nothing more than a simple bodyguard… but what's going to happen when his mate finds out the truth?

Can Tom protect his mate from the mob—and convince her to give her heart to a billionbear?

Guarding his Honey is a sizzling hot standalone BBW bear shifter romance. No cliffhangers!

Hero: sorry I didn’t tell you I was a bear before!
Heroine: ARE you fucking kidding me? Who says THAT to someone after knowing them for 24 hours? Are you insane??? What makes you think I would’ve believed you?
Hero: well.....
Heroine: but I’m mad you didn’t tell me you’re THE billionaire NOT the bodyguard!
Hero: *looks at her with puppy eyes*
Heroine: fine! Show me that bear again and we’ll call it even!

An enjoyable read.
A good fun read but why didn’t Tom tell Helen about being mates during the two weeks they were in the hotel.
Apart from that oversight enjoyable.
Needed proofreading as there was a major error during the fight scene.

Remarkable!!!

Helen Thompson was at the wrong place at the wrong time when she witnessed an injustice in her favorite Italian pizzeria. She tried to help the victim but his tormentor turned his rage on her and threatened her.

Despite the threat she received, Helen decided to testify against the culprit. She went to the one place she knew she would be safe, to her aunt Sally's in Mountainville where she was reunited with her cousin Bella. Helen was finally able to meet Ryan as well.

Things got a little crazy when the mob found Helen and tried to kill her, Ryan send his friend Thomas Glenn aka Tom to help protect Helen until the trial.

One look at Helen and Tom and his bear knew that she was their ONE. But because of her dislike for rich men, Tom told a little fib cuse he was afraid to lose her. When Helen learned the truth, she was mad which was understandable but her love won over her anger.

GUARDING HIS HONEY is the second book in the HONEY FOR THE BILLIONBEAR series, it was incredible. Loved the fast paced ride, the mafia didn't know that they messed with the wrong woman until it was too late.

The mob bloodshot nothing on a werebear rprotecting his mate

Helen was a brave accountant out minding her own business eating when an man was rude and assaulted the waiter so she stood up for him. She never realized her life was gonna be in endangered for testify against the mob boss. She figured she would be safe at her aunts house away but they found her. Helen called Bella and her billionaire husband ryan called in a favor for a friend to send her cousin a bodyguard. He did one better. He himself went and realized she was his mate and would do anything to protect his mate. A really good book. A must read!

Hiding Out

Helen has witnessed something terrible & has chosen to stand up & testify against an incredibly corrupt & dangerous man. However, she never imagined that the people meant to protect, would let her down so epically. She goes into hiding at her cousins farm only to be discovered immediately. Tom has given up finding his mate until he gets a call from his friend Ryan to protect Helen. Tom’s Polar Bear stands up & takes notice, but Helen has been through so much, could she possibly handle the knowledge of shifters? This was a fast paced, enjoyable read. Steamy & sexy as well. Enjoy!

Equal parts action and romance

This story was fun to read. There were elements of drama, danger, adventure and intrigue as well as romance. The fight scene in the basement for instance could have been all white knight fantasy but the author allowed for the female character to show just as much bravery as the male character. Nice touch, that. The characters were realistically portrayed and the action flowed smoothly.

I am binge reading and have quite a few of Zoe Chant's books that I had one-clicked and wanted to read, but would always have something else come up. I have to say. TAKE THE TIME AND READ ALL OF HER BOOKS!! They are each unique, some follow a specific group, but each can stand alone and have a happy ending. They are feel good and quick reads! I absolutely love all her books I have read! And they never leave you feeling like your missing something at the end.

Action!

This book has lots of action & a very good good vs bad plot. Tom & Helen meet after she goes into hiding to eventually go to trial against a mobster & the mobster sends men to kill her. As this is a HEA story I'm not going to tell you what happens next other than I will definitely be reading the next book in this series.

Guarding His Honey

This is a sweet and adorable novel. Tom and Helen are a great couple. They solve their misunderstandings, clear the air, and have a wonderful HE A! Looking forward to Ryan's and Isabella's story and let's not forget about Alan, perhaps the cousin Jessy.

Strong Polar

Tom and Helen's story was a nice one that had a good storyline. The trouble I had was the errors in the book. There were grammatical errors but also wrong names of characters too. These should be checked prior to release.

A quick bear shifter fix. Only about 70 pages, it's packed with action, the Mafia, danger, suspense, romance (2 spicy scenes - BBW goes after what she wants), passion and mates.
