A BBW baker with a troubled past + a protective bear shifter cop with a secret of his own + an accident that leaves them stranded in the wilderness = one untamed romance!

Curvy Eve Connolly is a baker with a secret. Ten years ago she took on a fake name and fled to the small town of Linden Creek. Everyone loves her cupcakes, but she's given up on love for herself. But when she meets sexy Chris Anders, the new cop in town, she can't deny their sizzling attraction. But what will he think of her if he learns who she really is?

Bear cop Chris Anders loves his job, and the small town of Linden Creek seems like the perfect place for his bear to settle down at last. But just when he'd given up hope that he'd ever find love, he walked into a bakery and instantly recognized Eve as his fated mate.

When a car crash leaves them stranded in the wilderness together, they must face their passion while fighting for their lives. Can Eve love a man with a bear-shaped secret? And can Chris protect Eve when her past finally catches up with her?

This is a sizzling hot, standalone BBW bear shifter romance. No cliffhangers!

Bear Cop was well-written, but a little too fast-paced for me. The H/h were actually quite adorable, but I still found that they hit it off perfectly - TOO FAST. I believe that they were having sex already within the first few pages of the book...lol.
The mystery of Eve's background and Chis' disconnect with his brothers was never developed to a degree to carry the plot - what little there was of it. Basically, there were a lot of sex scenes. They were rather tastefully written though.
Overall, Bear Cop was a nice read.

WILL CHRIS BE ABLE TO PROTECT EVE FROM HER PAST?

Eve has been in Linden Creek hiding for 10 years now from her father’s friends who think she has the jewels he supposedly stole with them. She has built up her name as a very good baker and prides herself in running the bakery but a mishap with her delivery car leaves her wondering what will happen when the police question her. Chris is a bear shifter and new Cop in Linden Creek. He is sent to get Eve and take her to the site where her employee was run off the road. Once he walks into the bakery he realizes that Eve is his mate. Trying to get to get to know her he takes a road that is a bit longer than normal. But circumstances prevail and a flood stands the two of them in the mountains with no way down and no way to call for help. Now the two must rely on each other and their growing interest in each other. Can Eve finally love and not have to worry about her past? Or will her past catch up to her even in the wilderness? Can Chris convince her to love both sides of him while protecting her from the wilderness and her past?

No Spoilers. Advanced Reader Copy read voluntarily and enjoyed greatly.

Eve Connolly and Chris Anders... 😍😍
O livro é bom, mas senti falta de mais... Queria um pouquinho mais da estória dos dois.. Pois Eve é uma linda mulher curvilínea que está sozinha, devido seu passado, mas tudo muda quando Chris aparece em sua vida... Chris é um urso, mas que tinha desistido de encontrar sua companheira até que a viu em uma padaria, e seu cheiro e mais doce que os capcakes que ela faz...
A short, simple and adorable book ... A very good read ... 🥰🥰
Good Reading.. 🎀🎀

Eve Connolly left home ten years ago and changed her name and has been hiding out in the small town of Linden Creek ever since. When she meets the new cop in town Chris Anders, she feels an attraction for him instantly.

Chris arrives at the bakery to take Eve to the crash her delivery man was in. However bad weather and a crash of their own has them hunkered in a cabin. Chris could not think of anything better because Eve is his mate. Now he wants to know everything about Eve and the reason she ran from home.

Fun story, a bit rushed but overall entertaining.

I was on a Sci Fi binge now I am on a Paranormal shifter binge and that is how I came across Zoe's books. Once I find an author whose books I like I will read them all and let me tell you Zoe has a lot. They are quick and easy reads. Some serious some make me laugh but all have danger and fated mates.
I enjoy paranormal stories as they take you away from everyday life and anything goes.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! I bought this book in 2016, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I buy all of Zoe Chant’s books because I love her HEAs and her style of writing!

The cover is really nice to look at! I love those abs!

This is the first book in this series, and I’ve owned it a while. I am finally getting a chance to read this series, and I do own them all. As with all of Zoe’s books, they are written for adults with steamy content.

I don’t know if you’ve read a book by Zoe Chant, but I love how her books are put together. They are always HEAs, and they always have plenty of action. Her books always make me happy when I read them because it is a great story with a feel good happy ending. I wish life was like this, but as the world descends into chaos, her books are my light to provide some sunshine to my soul.

This is about a new cop in town who is a bear shifter, and a baker who is on edge and hiding out. They end up in more than one survival situations. They both have secrets to share, and both have to figure things out. Tons of actions, and romance to make my heart happy. I loved this book!

I highly recommend to any Zoe Chant fan as well as any shifter fan because Zoe’s book rock with action, romance, and happy endings!

4.5 Stars

Zoe Chant is one of my favorite writers and I have read s lot of her shifter books more than once. Bear Cop is one of those books. This story has what I look for in a bright (as opposed to dark) shifter story. The main characters are hard working, likable and kind members of their communities. They face challenges and persevere. They value family. And, it doesn't hurt that they are so, so sexy. I gave this book 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5 stars, because I would have liked just a little bit more. Maybe more background. Maybe an extended epilogue. The story felt a little unfinished. I have the second book in the series and I'm hoping it will fill in some of the blanks. Definitely read this book! It's a winner!

Awesome story about a bear shifter cop

Chris is a bear shifter cop, who has found its mate. Eve has a baker and on the run from three criminals who framed her dad.

The three Jaguar shifters that are after Eve and Chris isolated them. Will they get out of trap while finding true love?

These characters are sexy, resourceful, relatable, and intriguing. Plot is about saving Eve and her father from the criminal shifters.

I love how they have fast-paced drama with a twist. I like how the story leads into the next in the series. I'm going to get the next book as soon as I can.

I highly recommend this book.

Chris and eve

A new series not original and has to much sex in my opinion but eve is sweet and Chris is a hero both have had sad lonely pasts.I
I have a puzzle (spoiler kind of) in car,water,bear then man clothes all good still on....jaguar,bear then man close ripped? If you have read this you get what I mean,if you haven't then read book story is worth a read and you can figure out the mistake.

I thought it odd she never wanted to get in touch with her dad at the end it's been 10 years for him to.

Cute short bear shifter story

This one is pretty short, but fun as well. Chris and Eve are great characters. They both have something to hide, but end up stranded together shortly after they meet. It is fun watching them learn about each other. They is some action, along with the character development. Combine that with a sexy bear shifter cop, some steamy scenes and a number of surprises and you have a fun read! Enjoy!

A bear shifter who is a cop, what could be better?

A fantastic story of two lost, lonely souls finding their way to each other. There is plenty of intrigue, action, suspense and romance to keep you engaged until the very end. It’s never a good romance if it doesn’t wind up with a HEA, and the author does not disappoint. From an incident that could have ended in tragedy, comes a love built to last. Grab your copy to fall in love with this lonely bear cop.

A woman hiding meets a new cop in town, a bear shifter, when her delivery vehicle ends up in a ditch.

It only takes a few minutes to figure out that she's his mate, but how to tell her? There are more wrecks, jaguar shifters, mistaken criminals, and attacks before the happy ending with lots of heat.

Eve had been hiding in Linden Creek for the last ten years. Always waiting for the police to find her, not able to tell anyone about her past, was wearing on her.
Chris Anders was the new town cop. He was gorgeous and had a secret of his own.
Their story is one of suspence, trusting enough to let go of past angst, romance, and love.
Fast paced, fun, and mostly lighthearted story. Great start to the series!

Read in the box set in KU.
Enjoyable read with a good story and nice characters. Didn’t really think Eve’s secret was that big of a deal but it must have been hard to live with as a child.

He’s a cop! And a werebear! She’s living under an assumed identity, so she is pretty wary of the police. And then they get stuck on a mountain together! Not the best bear shifter book I have ever read, but also not the worst. Ho hum.

Eve loves her life working for the Herbert's making cupcakes, but as much as she would like to buy the business from them, she has been living there as an alias scared her past will come back to haunt her, that she might end up in jail alongside her Dad. Chris has just been transferred to Linden Creek as the new police officer, he wanted a country town where he could let his bear out without the fear of being seen. When he walks into Herbert's bakery and sees Eve, his world changes forever, he knows he's found what he only ever dreamed he'd find, his mate. But with Eve's fear of going to prison and Chris' fear about what Eve will think about his bear, there are a few hurdles to overcome, and one they didn't see coming at all.

Another awesome story by Zoe, a great read that makes you remember that when you're honest love is easier that hiding it in secrets.
