Introducing an exciting new series by USA Today Bestselling Author Scarlett Grove!
Can a cop and a jewel thief find love on Fate Mountain?

She’s on his radar ...
Jaguar shifter Zoe Bright knows trouble. Growing up, she was the “bad kid” who could never measure up to her bear-shifter brother Corey -- and now she’s in debt to the mob. So the last thing she expects is for Corey’s matchmaking program to pair her up with Fate Mountain’s handsome, hunky chief of police!

He’s on her tail ...
Grizzly shifter Rollo Morris can’t believe his fated mate is almost certainly a jewel thief. Still, he and his bear know that curvy, sassy Zoe belongs to them. Pursuing her is a must … and interrogating her is the naughtiest thing he’s ever done.

And both of them are in the bullseye
When the mafia comes after Zoe, will she trust Rollo with her secrets? And even if she does, can he and the Bear Patrol find a way to solve the case and keep her safe?

Love this spinoff to the Rescue Bears of Fate Mountain..This time we meet the Bear Patrol, they are tasked with keeping the law in Fate Mountain.

Zoe Bright is the sister of Corey Bright, you remember him as Geek Bear from the Rescue Bears, Corey has practically raised his wild sister like a father. Zoe took after her father, she is a jaguar shifter unlike Corey who takes after his mother a bear shifter. But unlike her brother, Zoe always had a flair for the wild life and now she is back in Fate Mountain, only her motives are more in the cat burgler category literally. What she hadn't counted on was that when she signed up on Mate.com she would be matched so fast and with non other than the Commander of the Bear Patrol.

Rollo Morris is the Commander of the Bear Patrol, he signed up on Mate.com years ago, but has never been matched with his mate because he will take no less than 100% match. Now while investigating a recent burglery on Fate Mountain, he is pinged with a 100% match! Couldn't come at a worst time! To top it all off his mate is none other than the sister of his friend Corey.

There is so much intrigue and mystery going on with the Bear Patrol, this series is going to be a thrill ride!

To be honest, he looks like Angus, without the scrunched up shoulders and goofy smile. I almost sure this is the same model.

Commander Bear, I have no respect for. After reading the other books in this series, I have to agree that he is squirrely, maybe his shifter mixed with squirrel somewhere in this genetic history. I get that he wants to help his mate, but to blatantly ignore police procedures makes me dislike him, even more. Zoe is a jewel thief, although she is forced to by a man she was dating. The mix sounded good when it started but the story failed.

Rollo wants his mate but has been on the mate site with no luck, investigating a burgulary a scent riles his bear, then gets his 100% match in Zoe but her scent matches what was at the burgulary site and when he finds out what is going on he will do whatever he has to to make sure his mate is safe, Zoe always wanted what her brother has and finding Rollo was a shock but welcome if she can just get free from the mafia ,

A Very Interesting Shifter Story

Zoe a 25 year old woman who was a little did but still basically a good girl gets messed up with the mob. Sent back to her hometown to steal some jewels for him she discovers she has more to win or lose (according to how you look at it) then she thought. Her big brother and his wife, a mate , a new career she loves , FBI investigating the case , discovering she may know more than she thinks but is it enough to save her? A protective mate that makes her tell him what is going on after letting her know what he has figured out with the help of his deputies and detectives.

Wowza

Omg this book was absolutely thrilling and so good! The twists and turns , the suspense and the drama were true page turners. I kept wanting to know how this book would turn out and the author gave it a run. Oh boy it was mind boggling how she twisted and turned this story but writing stories as good as this takes a good effort and Ms Grove you gave it there very best. Thank you for writing a very good series between The Rescue Bears and the new series Bear patrol I’m looking forward Book two

a thief and a police chief

It was okay. If you are a big fan of fated mates and where everything falls together with little friction, this is for you. I think a longer and more flushed out story would have been better for me. The best part was the FMC holding out and teasing the MMC. The tension of their animals and the repartee between them before marking each other was the best part and I wish it could have been dragged out more.

The Burglar and the Cop

Great story of opposites who are fated mates. Nice link up with the Rescue Bears series as Zoe is the sister of Geek Bear Corey. Zoe finds out the hard way about consequences and karma. Lots of excitement and hot shifter sexy. I can't wait for the next book!

Good Bear Shifter book

I don't normally read a lot of Bear Shifter books because I prefer Wolves or Dragons but this one was pretty good once I started reading it. I don't think I started at the first of the novels so that was a bit off for me. Give it a try and at least a chapter of two before you give up.

Thief

This was the perfect couple to start off this spin off series. Zoe's high spirited personality seems to be a match for the Commander. What would you do for your 100% fated mate.

This is the beginning of the Bear Patrol tales of Fate Mountain, with the added pleasure of catching up and renewing friendships with the Rescue Bears! Excitement and intrigue from start to finish.

The story was fine..

I just didn’t like zoe. I wanted to but she was a spoiled brat and continued that for the entirety of the book not to say some of her reactions and actions weren’t justified just that they were annoying and she was annoying
