A Dragon for December

Rate this book
Polar bear shifter December Merricks is visiting her angel best friend, Allisandrea, in Cleveland.

When the February new moon rises, Deci heads into what she believes are neutral woods for some hunting when she comes snout to fang with an enormous dragon who is not only trying to swipe her prey but also happens to be her mate.
Dragon prince Tosh Okida loves hunting in the woods of Culiver, the territory owned by his nest. When the new moon rises, Tosh feels an incredible pull to the woods and goes hunting. To his surprise he finds a polar bear roaming his woods trying to steal a buck. Not only is the feisty bear a thief but she’s also his mate.

With his mate by his side, Tosh is able to claim the kingship of his people, but someone is hiding in the shadows and plotting against him. When an innocent trip to the spa ends with Deci kidnapped and drugged, her body is forced into a painful mating heat. Will Tosh be able to get to her before she’s lost to him forever and put down the threat to his throne, or will all be lost in a flurry of fur and fangs?

I was given an ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review.

There is really nothing in this book not to like!!!!!

Polar bear shifter December Merricks, known to her friends as Deci, is visiting her angel best friend, Allisandrea, in Cleveland. When the February new moon rises, Deci heads into what she believes are neutral woods for some hunting when she comes snout to fang with an enormous dragon who is not only trying to swipe her prey but also happens to be her mate.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 - I LOVE THIS AUTHOR!!
Polar bear + dragon = SHIFTER PERFECTION. I was obsessed with Deci and Tosh. Their first meeting had me laughing out loud (prey-stealing, really?), but then it quickly turned into something so intense and meaningful. The royal stakes, the spa-kidnapping plot, the forced mating heat—all dramatic, sexy, and perfectly executed. It’s a story of power, passion, and victory, and I devoured every word.

Fate does her thing for these two.
Enjoyable and I liked the characters, a nice easy read.
Been a while since I read a book in this series so it took a while to place some of the people’s names.
Pity about the horrible uncle and the poor idiot women at the spa.
Was also upset at killing the buck in the beginning for no reason. Could have let him get back to his herd.

A Dragon for December
Wiccan-Were-Bear Book 11
by R. E. Butler
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow! I'm feeling every emotion right now. What an amazing addition to a awesome series. Ms. Butler sure knows how to entertain her readers. This book is a roller coaster of feelings and never had a dull moment. She sure has a way of pulling the readers in and not letting them go until she's done! R.E. has a way of making the readers feel like a part of the story. Her writing is flawless and so captivating. She always does such a good job. I absolutely love this author. This is another excellent series that I have fell in love with. She has the power to weave such amazing paranormal stories flawlessly. I honestly get lost in each world and it seems so real. Never too out there and never too normal. I fell in love with her Wolf Mate series and then I fell for this one the Wiccan-Were-Bear series. I love this story and these characters.The chemistry between her characters is sexy, sensual and HOT. I love and adore all of the side characters as much as the main ones.

December is such a bada** and never whiney even when faced when hard decisions. I always love the kicka** heroine and her strength. And can we talk about the Dragon Town Its so unique and awesome. All of the different aspects of this story, from the shifters and the legends. It all came together and each piece was just perfect.
Omg give me a Dragon shifter. Please. This story starts off with polar bear and a dragon shifter becoming mates. Right from the start, the story is pack with badassness and snarky comments from our lovely December and it only gets better from there! The relationship between Dragon prince Tosh Okida and Deci. I love seeing Deci, the Polar Bear shifter and Dragon prince Tosh Okida relationship stay strong and the type of loyalty and commitment they show each other. Don't get me started on Allisandrea opinion on the traitors. All I have to say is that she cracks me up and doesn't hold back!

I absolutely loved everything about this book and series! I love how it didn't leave anything unresolved or unanswered, but still left you wanting more. R.E. did an amazing job with this series and I can not wait for the next ones!!

A Dragon for December (Wiccan-Were-Bear Book 11) by R. E. Butler While visiting a friend,  Deci heads to what she believes is neutral woods for some hunting only to come face to face with a dragon who is not only swiping her prey but happens to be her mate in his spectacular paranormal romance.
 
The readers can’t help but be enthralled with this spectacular mating between polar bear shifter, Deci and dragon shifter, Tosh, not only does the chemistry scorch the pages, this couple is dynamite together and the story is full of excitement and intrigue as Tosh is now ready to claim the kingship of his people but someone is hiding in the shadows and plotting against him which keeps readers on the edge of their seat. So as usual, the well written, fast paced and smooth flowing story keeps readers glued to the pages.
 
I loved this mating! Not only did it keep me glued to the pages, it introduced some new characters and dragons are always awesome but Tosh is some kind of sexy. And one other thing ~ this released on my birthday, so it made the best birthday present ever!  Thanks R.E.!

Wow! The Wiccan-Were-Bear series has always been a firm favourite of mine and I have to say that this edition to the series does not disappoint.
December is a Polar Bear shifter and dear friends with our fallen angel of the series, Alli. It is when she is visiting her friend that her bear starts to act up - obviously knowing that its mate is not too far away - and drives her to leave Alli's place in the middle of the night. Meanwhile, Tosh, the dragon prince we briefly knew as one of Elizebeth's lovers at the start of the series, is also struggling with his beast. When the pair finally meet they don't let their status as strangers get in the way of fate.
But it wouldn't be a Wiccan-Were-Bear book without a fork in the road, and I think these two had one of the biggest dramas yet to overcome. So, again, all I can say is WOW and keep them coming. There are only two books left after this one in the series and while I am sad that it is coming to an end, I also cannot wait to read them.

Loved it....

Loved Tosh and Deci ;) I wished there had been a bit more to their story,but only because I adored them soo much.... I wish their story had been a bit more complex at times,but I adored both MC's and I enjoyed the time I got to spend w/them...
My only true disappointment is in the coming books,if both Midas the Tiger King and Mishka ( I hope got that right) Vampire coven leader are both unmated,why is one Mishka but the other is some barely known girl ? Some girl gets a mate but one of the Kings stays unmated ? I'm confused by that,besides I LOVE Tigers and well to be honest the Bears in this series have not been my faves ... I'd take the sweet Yummy Tosh or the fierce protective Brone on those twin bears any day,their way too bossy and controlling and that's saying something for someone who'd love a good M/F/M menage for real... But not w/those bossy bears ;(

Prince Tosh is a dragon shifter and leader of his clan. He has ruled since his father's death 15 years ago. December is a polar bear shifter and school teacher. She comes to Ohio to see her friend, Alli after an accident closes the school down for repairs. Soon after her arrival December starts to feel strange, she wakes up with the intense need to shift. She quickly drives to a wooded area to unleash her beast, then goes on a hunt. During the hunt. she injures a deer and tracks it down with another predator on the scene. She shifts back to yell at the interloper. It's Tosh. They scent each other and discover they are mates. This is especially good news for Tosh, now he can claim the title of King and truly rule his people. But, everyone is not so happy about the couple, betrayal is in the air. Let's just say that he is a dragon and he's going huff and puff and set stuff on fire.

I really enjoyed this book in the series. I know she's only writing a couple more before Ms. Butler is done with the series all together. Sad but true. I think Mishka and perhaps Midas will be at some point. I totally loved December! She was so very sweet and smart. I fell in love with her character. We hadn't really gotten to know Tosh from the other books and I'm happy we did now. He was totally sweet but fierce! We got to see some other recurring characters in this book. Deci and Tosh's mating was fairly quickly once they met. Made me smile. His Uncle though what he did was horrible! Ugh...poor Deci showed some strength no matter how much pain she was in when kidnapped and drugged. Ended on HEA so I enjoyed it very much!

I love the Wiccan-Were-Bear series! And I'm so glad Tosh finally got his mate. December (Deci) is a polar bear shifter who is in town to visit her friend. She wakes up one night and, restless, she decides to go hunting in a nearby forest. As she's running down a dear, a dragon appears and snatches it away. She's livid and shifts to give the dragon a piece of her mind. When the dragon shifts to human, they both realize they are fated mates. Such a great story with likable characters, tense situations, and hot, sexy-times. Read this book...you won't be disappointed!

A beautiful story of love

Deci, a employee of a polar bear shifter school, went to visit her friend Allie in New York. What she hadn't suspected was the strange pull she was feeling.

Tosh, a Prince of a bear clan, also felt this pull. He was being undermined by his uncle in being crowned king. His uncle wanting the crown for himself set it to do anything and everything to get his way.

I was enthralled throughout the whole book. The connection between the two leads to me was totally romantic. Their grasp on what it truly means to be each other's half was dreamy. I recommend this book with a five star rating.

Intriguing plot

Plot is wonderful, creative and I'm glad to be able to read and enjoy it! This series has captured my attention 2-3 years ago and I recommend R.E. Butler as an author to follow, over and over again.
Now that Amazon & Goodreads have joined forces on my KINDLE fire, I'm noticing as I re-read many of her books I'm having to reenter my reviews. And as I go along, I've noticed towards the end of the series arrives, it's taking less time to read. I'm wishing this one were as long as book one, I didn't open my Kindle till late but 3-1/2 hrs is still short.

His Mate is Very Bearable!

This is a well written story about Prince Tosh and his mate Deci. She's accidentally poaching in his woods and he killed her deer that she was stalking. When they meet, they know they've found their truemate. Now the story gets interesting because of course some don't want them to mate. This is a quick hot entertaining read. And when my favorite vampire (Brone) stops by the story can't get better, lol. And it's always nice to read about previous people and see what they are up to. Enjoy I did.

R.E.BUTLER never disappoints!!

As this long awaited addition to the series is proof!! WOW when the Truemates bond hits these two main characters the HEAT IS ABSOLUTELY TURNED ON!! But there's hidden dangers from those close to them who are determined to make sure things don't turn out very good but ending their lives.

December Merricks comes to town to stay with her friend and 1 restless night she shifts and runs in the woods. Tosh Okida's dragon was restless and when he sensed a threat in the woods he goes hunting but what he finds is his true mate, a polar bear.

I received an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. This is book 11 of the series Wiccan-Were-Bear by the author. Lots of romance, drams and betrayal in this story that makes for excellent reading.

Another great book in the Wiccan-Werebear series. I love the way the dragons are portrayed in this one. And Tosh is amazing and finding December ( his mate) seemed perfect. And no one cares that she was a polar bear. Danger is close to home in this story, and again goodness will prevail. I really like that all the leaders of all the shifter groups came together at the end. I read that there will be only 2 more books in this series. I will be sad to see it end.

I'm so glad to finally be able to read Tosh's story. He's a terrific ruler to his people and an all around great guy but he's an even more amazing mate. Deci knows a great thing when she see one and she grabs on with both hands. I love her self confidence and snarky dialogue. Plenty of intrigue and action to keep you turning pages.
Highly recommended author and series

Dragons are a girls best friend

December goes to visit a friend and gets much more than she bargained for.
Tosh is trying to protect his domain and discovers dreams come true.
Ms. Butler series pulls me into the life of her characters. I couldn't be happier.
