Getting Bear

by Ever Coming

Overworked, plus-sized beauty Victoria is on her way to a much needed spa weekend of relaxation when unexpected car trouble lands her in the remote town of Greenville. Sparks fly the second she meets the sexy town mayor, Bruno. While danger lurks unseen, those sparks turn to passionate flames and the two ignite the sheets, a chair, and possibly a storage closet. Can a workaholic city girl find fated true love and true happiness with a small town alpha werebear mayor?

I have read this before but cannot remember where.
Read this time in the Shifters Untamed box set so only one bonus story.
An entertaining story with good characters. Bear meets his mate who has a mind of her own. Someone causes trouble but all ends well.
Loved this little short extra. Great read about dreaming of your mate.

Disclosure: I got this book from the author as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Okay, This book is adorable. It's a relatively light-hearted read - fun and funny, with a little bit of crazy thrown in. Victoria is headed to a spa weekend and gets a flat tire on a mountain road, which leads to her having to stay in the nearest small town for the night while they get her a new one, because apparently her car "didn't come standard" with one (to be honest I don't think any of them do anymore, at least not where I'm at!), meanwhile she's getting all amped up and not sure why until she meets Bruno the Mayor and owner of the only inn the town has. Technically they're cabins, but the call it the inn, so don't lynch me for inconsistency if you go on to read the spoiler section below. I'm gonna list my favorite bits, but I can't really do what without giving things away, soooo... after the cut, if you please!

Victoria is a plus sized lady, and refers several times to her extra body as "excessive sexiness", which never failed to get a bit of a smile out of me.
Bruno and Victoria's first hot and heavy encounter happened in a storage closet, which is not only quirky, but also a bit hilarious to me since they'd -just- been at her rental cabin.
She agrees to being claimed by him without really understanding what all she's agreeing to...gets her car set on fire/blown up, then has some random guy (who apparently is the one who called the sheriff when she broke down and later tried to send her a drink in the car) come beating down the door when Bruno is trying to have "the talk" with her to explain the whole situation. It seriously could not have been a worse time, they had no pants on people! NO PANTS!

Whew! Okay, now that all of that is out of my system, I can conclude with:
It's well written.
-- I'm kind of a crazy person (which you might know if you'd read my other reviews) about things like proper word usage (there, their, they're; to, too, two etc.), consistency in tenses and POV (staying in past tense if that's where you start, not jumping from 1st to 3rd person and back).... there was literally only one place where there was a misused word and it was something super easily missed by both human eyes and a spell/grammar check. That's incredibly good.

I really enjoyed this book, if you weren't getting that from all of the previous words I've slapped together here. It was fun and light, and a really good way to end a frustrating day.

Although the story starts off similar to other shifter books—Female with car trouble, no cell phone service, and walking to find cell phone service or help from someone in the nearest town. Then Ms Coming takes a different path. Victoria is on her way to a spa to help her relax, but she doubts she will be on time for her facial. She hears a car engine and she wonders if she will get help from them. It's a police car and Cal will take to the garage. It seems someone saw her and called Cal. She goes to the inn to get a room and something intangible hits her. It was lust at first sight but nothing was in sight to cause the butterflies. The person checking her in isn't very polite. Bruno takes her to her cabin. When she sees him, she wants to lick him all over. Bruno looks at her and enjoys the view, loving the curves she has. Trouble is waiting for them at the bar/restaurant.

Received from author for an honest review.

This is a short and fast read. Adults only due to sex scenes.

Victoria is a big and beautiful woman and is now stuck in a small town because of a flat tire. But she meets a gorgeous stranger. She is aroused even before she sees him. He knows she is something special. But how can a small town man convince her to leave the big city for him? And why does just the smell of him arouse her so much?

A sweet quick read that captures the heart. All three short stories were well worth the short time it took to read them and I have to say that I quite enjoyed them.Bear shifters finding their mates in a fast paced plot made for a fun and erotic read that was fun and interesting to read. Ever Coming did it again!!!

Getting Bear is a set of short, sexy stories involving bear shifters and their fated mates. They're quick and gratifying to read. If you're looking to let your mind go for a few hours to get lost in some hot romances between alpha bears and BBW, then this is the find for you. Very fun!

It was a fantastic collection of stories. 2 of them are about Victoria and Bruno they meet in a small town full of bears. They are mates. The whole collection is humorous and hot. They short stories. It would be awesome to have more of the two bear shifter mates. I was given this story for a honest review.

[Toni L · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. I found it fun, lighthearted & humorous with a whole lot of sexy thrown in. It was an easy, quick read for when you just want to kick back & immerse yourself for a time without getting bogged down in anything long. However, I found the action just jumped right in, really full on when I would have liked a little more of a build.

Very short stories but well worth the read. They were great. Very interesting and couldn't put it down and was sorry to see them end. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

[Lorrie Moar · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fast read of a bear shifter finding his mate, fighting to keep her and mating her. A great short story.

[Diana Page · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are 3 short stories in this book and all of then different takes on women finding love with a shifter mate, throw in some intrigue and luster at first sight and you have 3 really good short reads, and I do mean short, if your not a fan of quick lunchtime reads these aren't for you, but if you like your women witty and your shifters hot, this book is for you. 4 ☆'s !! I recieved a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute little short story I read in the box set of Shifters Untamed. Victoria was supposed to be taking a weekend vacation...it ended up being something else. Bruno got lucky...fate has a strange way of working. Cute read.
