Ridgeback Bears #6
Jade Crew: Hunted Bear
Joel Murray has watched his Crew find their mates one by one, until he was the only one unmated. With the ongoing chaos in Genesis Valley, it's been a blessing in disguise. But while Joel may have accepted his single status, his bear certainly hasn’t.
Courtenay Laurel is the sole medical doctor employed by the Mining Consortium. She doesn’t have time for flirting, dating, and the things that come with it. But when the tall, handsome and deliciously ripped bear shifter walks into her office, she’s overwhelmed by the sudden intensity of their connection.
Even as things heat up between them, Joel knows that the brief moment of peace in the Valley is coming to an end. To protect Courtenay, he tries to put things on pause, so that she isn’t dragged into the fray. But when things go sideways in a hurry, the only one who can help Joel is his mate. Will Courtenay fall apart under the pressure, or is there more strength in the good doctor than either of them ever suspected?

Living out in the back-country near the mountains, she keeps her own alpha male close by, to keep the bears away and keep her warm.

I received this for a honest review. Amelia Jade is doing such an amazing job on this series. If you have not had the opportunity to have read any of this series you are truly missing out. They are freaking awesome.
Doctor Courtenay Luthor was truly an amazing character. I just love when the authors make the character’s strong. She had not been in Genesis Valley for very long. She knew there was sometime bad happen and shifters were missing. She figured they were dead.
Joel just knew that Courtenay was his mate. I loved how excited he got on taking her out and spending time with her. He really put thought in the date and knew what she would like. He was doing his best to win her heart.
I love that we got to learn more about Ferro who is a dragon shifter and owes the Tongue & Flame. There was some stuff that surprised me that was revealed. I find Ferro such a interesting character and look forward to learning more about him in upcoming books.
The thing about this series is there is so many wonderful characters. I love how united some of the bear are, they are like family. They are trying to get to the bottom of what is going on in Genesis Valley. They know there is a leader called “True Form” They are just scared what he is up to. Yip more is revealed on True Form but you will have to read the book to find out.
Things do get hot and heavy between Joel and Courtenay. Both know they are meant to be together. There are some heartbreaking moments between the two. There is also a surprise visit from someone in the previous book, but you will have to read the book to find out. Trust me when I say this is not a book you will want to miss.

What I really really like here is that we've got strong female characters. I love that this author does that. It's refreshing. I'm so tiered of reading weak woman, so when I get a story that doesn't have that I eat it up.

Cliffhanger
This is the next book in this series and must be read in order to the conclusion. Since it was a short story everything happened fast. I recommend this series but it must be read in order.

Very short but quite a bit of action in regards to the back story.
Though I do find the sex scenes overwhelm the story.
Loved Joel, he was so prepared to do the right thing all the way.
Dr Courtenay was brave too.
Big fight but we have no ending, YET.
Read in the box set.

HUNTED BEAR(Jade Crew #6) by Amelia Jade
Joel Murray has watched his crew find their mates, until he was the only unmated shifter. But his quiet relieved because of all the trouble they've had going on in their valley. While Joel has accepted that he remains mateless, his bear definitely hasn't.
Courtenay Laurel is the only medical doctor in the Mining company. She busy and doesn't have much time for anything, especially dating. But that all changes when she meets a tall and sexy bear shifter. The immediate feelings she has towards him are intense, and they overwhelm her.
Joel loves the chemistry they share, but he knows that soon the peace will end. To protect Courtenay, he agrees to stay away from her for awhile, so she isn't pulled into the chaos going on around them. But when things go wrong, Coutenay knows the only way he will be able to think straight is if she's safe and with him. Will she cope? Is she strong enough to handle the pressure?
This was an interesting story, as some of our questions are starting to be answered. The storyline was entertaining and the characters were really sweet. Another great book added to this series. A very enjoyable read!

It's just awesome that the book is finally here. Jade Crew: Hunted Bear deserves 4.5 stars and a WOW.
Both Joel Murray, bear shifter from Genesis Valley, and human female Dr. Courtenay Jean Laurel, have their own story to be told. Dr. Laurel is going to make changes in Joel's life. Their communication skills are good in a new relationship. Where will this blazing hot attraction between true mates lead them to? I see hot fun in their future. Are you envious yet?
Beware! Danger and intrigue are happening in Genesis Valley. Will the Jade Crew and allies be able to find out the True Form's plans?

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a great addition to the series, and kept me hooked until I'd finished it! Joel and Courtney were perfect mates for each other, and I enjoyed following their story and seeing them fall in love. I also loved seeing characters from previous books making their appearances, and was happy with how things left off. I'm both looking forward to, and very nervous about, the next book in the series, as it's the last one. We're left with an idea of what to expect, and I'm looking forward to reading it. I really hope that we get to see a happily ever after for all of the couples that we've came to know and love, and the series ends on a happy note for them all.

I have read every book in this series, and have totally enjoyed every one of them. Each book centers around one bear shifter and his mate, but each book also continues the storyline. Joel is the only one left in his crew that has not found his mate, except one that is locked up. He meets Dr. Courtenay Laurel, and they are immediately attracted to each other. I loved that their first date was mudding. There is also the continuing story of the one called "True Form" that keeps bringing danger to Genesis Valley. The book has love, suspense, and danger, all blended together into a wonderful story. I received this book from the author in return for an honest review, and now there is just one more book left in this series.

Courtenay is a doctor for the Mining Consortium. Joel is a bear shifter and he wants her so bad. He has waited for a mate so long. All the trouble in town makes her cautious and she tries to stay away.This a great book. There is so much action and explanations about what is going on. I am so ready for the next book to find out everything. I received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.
I have read all the books in this series and love them, you can read this as a standalone book but I recommend reading the whole series, that way you know more about the back story going on as well, I really loved Joel and Courtenay's story their connection and love is beautiful.

Great book
Now that the Jade crew has only 1 single bear left, it's the time for adventure again. I love how strong the female character is in this book !! Looking forward to the next book, while also wondering what crew is up next ...

Fantastic
Loved this book and this series. From steamy, hot sex with extremely well endowed males to crazy no holds barred action and violence. Who could ask for more.

Could have been better
Pretty good story, but alot was missing. I have read many shifter books and this one doesn't cut the mustard for me. Not really a love story.

Review
I feel like a lot of thought has been written into the story line, suspense, romance, humor, sex, all comes together for a good time.
