Fated and Mated #3

Her Russian Bear

Rate this book
A standalone bear shifter dating agency romance

A Russian bear on the run, Artem is not sure finding his mate is the best thing for him right now, or her. He has seen what happens when life gets in the way of the mating bond and sacrifices have to be made. However, when he sees his mate on the Fated and Mated website, he has to act. Or, more precisely, he has to hack the site and get her details because he cannot risk putting his picture on the internet.

Curvy tiger shifter, Elina, is fighting to prove her client, Jim, innocent, even if he was caught red handed burning down the local school. She is convinced he cannot be responsible, but if it wasn’t Jim, then who was it?

When Artem turns up on her doorstep unannounced, she is worried he is going to distract her from her job. And when she learns of his past, she is unsure where their futures lie. Especially when the trail for the real arsonist leads to a choice, one which may cost Artem his life. But all is never what is seems.

Contains scorching hot sex scenes. You have been warned!

**********Contains Spoilers**********

I liked this story. I thought Artem and Elina were great together. It’s horrible that Artem and Vadik had to escape Russia and make everyone think that they’re de*d to keep their family including Vadik’s mate Galina, as the Corporation that they were working for was forcing them to do some horrible stuff like spying on Dignitaries and leaking said classified information that could’ve gotten a lot of people hurt. After hearing great things about the dating website Fated and Mated, he decided to have a look to see if he could find his mate, which he did but he knew that he couldn’t put his photo on the site due to the trouble back in Russia so he decided to hack the site to find Elina’s address and went to her, which was a risk as he had to fly their so his photo could be discovered. Elina is completely shocked that her mate shows up at her door and is even more surprised that he is currently in hiding due to a situation him and Vadik got into back in their Homeland Russia.  Elina is a lawyer and is currently trying to find out if her client, Jim who’s been accused of setting the school on fire is actually guilty and if not, she needs to find some evidence to free him. I thought this was a good ending to the series. I’d definitely recommend this book, series, universe and author to everyone.

Liked it

The final tale in the series is as enjoyable as the rest. Artem and Elina are trying to solve a mystery while keeping his presence under wraps. A novel way to reach their HEA. One thing of note - The editing in all the books could be much better. They are too short for the number of corrections needed. I hope this is not a pattern. I have a lot of Raines' stories.

Russia meets America

This was a fun book to read . It had adventure, love, and a mystery to solve. The fun part was when the two people discovered they were fated mates. This is recommended to read. Enjoy!

Ok, so I am addicted to most of her books. This one has me on so many levels: an honest lawyer, a sheriff who values justice, a fugitive from the Russian mob, and, oh yeah, three different types of shifters. Besides, the story is well crafted and the characters clearly drawn. A good read!

Good fun read with a different and interesting plot line.
Elina is a strong and savvy heroine. I just want to know how she managed to get a visa for Galina to get her out of Russia.
I have read this before but my review is missing but was fun to reread this series.

Hoping For A Miracle

I truly enjoyed reading this series of Fated and Mated. It's a shame that they still have to live in secret, the Russian bears. The drama, action, and suspense throughout this book was awesome along with the romance between the two main characters.

Not long enough.

I'm looking forward to the next book in the series, if there is one. My only issue is it didn't go into enough detail about why Artem was on the run and what his job was beforehand. Otherwise it's a good short story.

Sweet

Love and mystery. This story sweet, but it gave you little intrigue along with a good love story. The ending was extra special.

Cute

This story was short but cute. No real danger even though there was a tad bit of danger. It never really got the heart pumping.

(Fated and Mated) 3. Her Russian Bear

Not as exciting as the other stories, but kind of intriguing. Having to hide your existence can be very painful.

Just...okay

Likable characters superficially, but the chemistry felt forced. The grave peril aspects fizzled, and the ending was abrupt. Not one of this author's best.

Wow!!

This killed my heart in my chest. I thought everything was lost. Wow!!! I loved this book. Both characters were strong and independently successful. Their jobs were opposite of each other, even him former job. The case that blew everything up in their faces interwoven in ways they didn't even know. Full of suspense and lots of surprises. I loved every word.

Her Russian Bear by Harmony Raines.
4 out of 5 stars.
Artem has seen his mate on the Fated and Mated website, but it isn't safe for him to put a profile on there himself as he is on the run from some very nasty men in his homeland. So he hacks the site, gets her address from it, and turns up at her door without any warning.
Elina is a tiger shifter acting as the defence for a man accused of burning down the local school. But when she starts getting too close to the truth about who did it, she finds that evidence is being planted indicating her client guilty and false tracks laid. But who by?
I recommend this book to all fantasy lovers and Harmony Raines followers.

Suspenseful Shifter Read

Artem and Elina's story is a quick paced read. Their connection is instant and passionate and they learn to trust their bond even as they search for the truth to free Elina's client. Artem will do anything to protect
his mate, even if it means exposure to those hunting him down.

Her Russian Bear: BBW Bear Shifter Dating Agency Romance(Fated and Mated)

This story was a good addition to the Fated and Mated series. The two Russian characters were introduced in the previous story and I was hoping that they would have their own story. I hope that there will be more additional stories in this series. It was money well spent.

Wow

Love this story and I love Sheriff Alain for helping them. I hope he gets his own story soon. I didn't figure out who the arsonist was until she figured it out. I'm kind of disappointed that Mr. Harrington did that and that his wife/ mate hates his animal side. That sucks for him but I still can't condone him setting up the simple person. That's just not right!!!

Artem

I know it is important to the writer to get book reviews. I'm a big fan of Harmony Raines. I have not found any thing she has written, that I have not enjoyed. Hope you will to.

Great!!

I was wondering from the last book if there was going to be a book about Artem and I'm glad there was. Always nice to get a hot Russian story and this one was just as hot as the last.

Another great book. On the run and finding his mate, has he blown his cover or is he safe. I will never tell, but you need to read this book, and if you haven't read the other two first, you need to read those before this one :-) Happy Reading.

Her Russian Bear

I was sad for a moment because I thought his friend hadn't found a mate yet but low and behold he already had one. I knew the sheriff was crushing real hard on his girl.

Another great book

I thought at first I wouldn't care for the book but once I got into it I really enjoyed it. Hope that we will here more about them and any new mate's in the Hollows.
