Bear Mountain Christmas

Great story in the Near Mountain series. I love holiday stories and add in a hot shifter and it makes it even better.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I am voluntarily leaving my review.

Emma is a bear shifter living with her family on the mountain. She and her family are very close but there is tension because none have been able to reproduce.

Logan is a white-wolf shifter and part of a MC. This type of shifter was thought to be extinct or even a legend to other shifters. Logan's pack alpha has decided he wants to rid the mountain of all the bear family and take over. He has ordered Logan to get "inside information".

Emma goes out to the town bar with her cousins one night, needing to get out and release a little steam. She meets Logan and this is the beginning of them...

Is Logan just using her? Will his pack kill off the bears? Why is a witch working with the evil white-wolf alpha?

Logan is initially doing what his alpha asks but he finds that it isn't as easy as he thought once he starts spending time with Emma. She is just as enamored with him. He finds it becoming more and more difficult to give any info to his alpha, which is causing issues with the pack.

Logan takes a big chance when he "mans up" to what he has been doing. Will Emma hate him, her pack destroy him or even worse, death from his pack?

I really liked this story. Emma really shouldn't have been sneaking out to meet him but she couldn't help herself. The more time she spend with Logan, the more time she wanted to, at the expense of her family, her pack. I also loved the twist with the reproduction issues, very different!

Targeted

What happens when a roving bachelor biker gang of rare wolf shifters sets its sights on land belonging to a bear clan in decline? Logan is a rare winter wolf, a breed that has gone almost extinct. His alpha, Grayson, has gathered each of them up individually and has his mind set on a permanent home for his pack. For the past year he has been preparing to take over the mountain compound of a bear clan, and Logan is in the middle of those plans. His job is to seduce information from one of the clan's women, making the takeover a sure thing. So when he finds Emma disoriented and isolated in a blizzard, he directs her back to her compound, laying the groundwork for the trap.

Emma is back home for the Christmas season when she and her cousins come across two dead, eviscerated deer. Emma is charged with alerting the elders while her cousins investigate. But a blizzard quickly moves in and after a downhill tumble, Emma becomes lost in the whiteout. Then she sees a naked man in the distance and begins to follow him through the trees, until he shifts and runs away, leaving her at the perimeter of the compound. She joins in on the conversation about the deer kill and tells the clan about the stranger in the woods. Evidence points to wolves, probably wolf shifters, but there haven't been wolves in the area in decades. So what is the reason they are making their presence known now?

This book is a standalone with a YA/NA vibe.

Bear Mountain is a big target for wolves looking for territory. The Swift clan has had their share of attempted takeovers by wolves, but so far they have prevailed. Now the kids are grown and starting families of their own, but no babies. Emma's home for Christmas with her family, her cousins and their mates. Logan is a winter wolf, part of a motorcycle club with a nefarious plan for the bear shifters. Emma and Logan's story is eerily similar to her aunt Isabella and uncle Lucas' story. Something about a bad boy biker and a forbidden love gets the girl every time. When Logan confesses he prays the Swifts don't kill him and they can save Emma before everything blows up. I love the clan stories and how their family commitment shines through everything.

A fast-paced interspecies shifter warfare story with immediate attraction between recent college grad bear 🐻 shifter Emma and the winter wolf 🐺 shifter who rescues her from a blizzard. It's a short story, but packs in the requisite steam, plus a good, solid plot with plenty of action suspense. I appreciated that the big battle scene was not too graphic. I thoroughly enjoyed it. :-)

The volume includes an extensive collection of short bear shifter stories that is much longer than the title story. I have yet to tackle them but I hope they are of the same caliber.

Emma is a bear shifter and part of the swift bear clan. When on a run with her cousins she is sent back home. When a storm hits she becomes lost and a mystery man shows up to lead her back home and dissappears. The clan is also faxed with the problem of not being able to have baby's anymore and not sure why.

Logan is a winter wolf shifter with a biker gang that calls themselves the longtooth clan. Their leader is power hunger has a voodoo wolf and is up to no good.
Great story! I love the action, mystery and drama. The characters are well written and I connect with them fast. Shifters fans will love this one and it's got bad guys! I love to hate on the bad guys lol
Voluntarily reviewed a copy and I honestly loved it.

A Change Is Coming



The title of the story does not do justice to the story. The author had great promise in the beginning but somewhere along the way the story became a little rushed. If the author would go back and finesse a few of the threads in this book I believe it would greatly enhance what she has already written. It is not bad as written but i just felt something were left undone. Namely the Voodoo Wolf why did he do what he did and where did he come from? I don't want to put into question here in this review.

As written it is a very adequate and completed story that can be enjoyed by the masses.My curious nature just requires a little more.

Really Cool Christmas Story

Really cool Christmas Story!

Logan, a Winterwolf, is Striking and intense with a Beautiful white coat. They were thought of as only a myth.

Emma, a bear of the Swift family, is Beautiful and curious.

A blizzard, magic, red eyes, secrets, infertility, and a passion that explodes will grab your attention and not let go.
Who said bears and wolves can't find love in each other. Not me, lol.

Great Read with a ton of bonus stories to boot.
Mature readers, strong language and sexual content.

I have read and reviewed a Advanced Reader Copy of this book by its author.

A clan of bears are cursed and have lived on bear mountain for generations, this is Emma’s and Logan’s story. The Bears go for a run when they come across a deer ripped to shreds, they send their cousin Emma back to the clan to let the elders know but she gets lost in a snowstorm and that’s when a wolf shifter Logan saves her from the blizzard. Little does Emma know that Logan has been sent to spy on her and the clan, but can Emma forgive Logan for the deceit? The chemistry between Logan and Emma is 🔥🔥🔥, theres action and adventure, betrayal, secrets and romance and I definitely recommend this one.

Shifter christmas

Swift bear clan have an issue - no one can get pregnant. It's sad and demoralizing until Emma encounters a gorgeous white wolf who just so happens leads her lost self toward safety in a blizzard. Never realizing she could fall so quickly for her mysterious savior, Emma gets a night with him. But wolves and bears are enemies. Especially when Logan is a rare winter wolf. The alpha of Logan's pack wants the Swift's location for his own and goes about strange means to allocate it. War breaks out and happy ever after. Likable story although it does need editing.

What a great Christmas story. Emma tried to happy, but things with her clan were on edge and the unhappy fact that no one was getting pregnant. Logan is a winter wolf and he is here with his pack on Bear mountain to take over the bears territory. His job, to get close to Emma and get secrets. This is a well written book with so much excitement, betrayal, magic, and of course love. Logan is in love but he has to fix his betrayal, and in the process help the bears and maybe even help perserve their future.

Emma had no idea the guy that helped her in the woods would end up being more than the red eyes that helped her out. Loads is going on in this wonderful Christmas story. Sides will be picked and loyalties will be tested. Curses will be explored and wars will be fought. An exciting action packed read. Loved it and all of the wonderful extras this author provides with this book when you purchase it!!

I think this is the final in the series but if it is Sky Winter finished it really nicely. I think the characters were great and how Logan had no idea what he was getting when he hooked up with Emma but it certainly didn't work out as planned. Wolves and bears don't mix and this book will put that to the test while we finally learn why so many Bear clans have been barren for so long. Definitely settle in for a great read!

Loved this story! The Swift bear clan has been having problems having offspring. They think they are cursed somehow. The clan does not think they can take much more. Emma gets caught in a blizzard and is saved by a new wolf. Logan, is part of a pack thought long since extinct. Can Emma and Logan find love or will betrayal break them apart before it can even start? Can the Swift clan survive? Read this exciting tale to find out. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

Caught in a Blizzard

I had read an ARC copy of this book for my honest review.

Another fantastic Bear Mountain and Swift family story by Sky. The mating connections between the breeds is great. The only thing I had a "problem" with, was it took me a minute to understand this was the kids as adults. 😁

This book is a wonderful addition to the Bear Mountain Series. Lots of breath-holding action, steamy love scenes, betrayal, hope and love make this book so enjoyable. Logan and Emma are an awesome pair, who defy fear and war to be together. I really enjoyed this story and would recommend it to lovers of shifter romance everywhere. Well done Sky!

Emma meets Logan, one of the wolves, and falls in love. Will she be killed too ? Will any of them ever have children again ? This book was a paranormal love story that takes place just before Christmas.

Bear Mountain Christmas

This was an entertaining enough read. The pacing of the story seemed off in some spots-too fast or too slow. However, the characters were interesting to read about and there was plenty of action. I got my happily ever after and some entertainment out of it, so I'm happy.

Lions and tigers and bears oh my!

Several short stories and introducing other books by the author so that you get a good feel for her style. Love the concept of a world that has shifters in it alongside humans. Great story lines and character development looking forward to reading more of her work.

Eh

I had a tough time getting into this book. I like a book to start off exciting. Seemed the first chapter just dragged. I then seemed to just skip my way through. I did not like that the author used the lords name in vain repeatedly.
This book just wasn't interesting for me.

This was a great edition to the Swift Clan. The kids if Bear Mountain bringing us back. Of course with that being said there is always drama to follow with sexy shifters and hot romance. I hope this isn't the last.
