Bear Mountain #2
Réclamé par Deux Ours
Élevé par des ours-garous, Paul s’est toujours senti à part. En tant qu’humain, il n’est pas autorisé à jouer un rôle actif dans la communauté des métamorphes qui l’a entouré toute sa vie. Quand son travail à Bear Mountain est remis en cause, il envisage de quitter la seule maison qu’il a toujours connue pour partir à la recherche de l’élément qui a toujours manqué dans sa vie.
Les bêtas, Brynn et Tomas attendent leur compagnon humain depuis de nombreuses années. Quand un nouveau-né orphelin est déposé sur le seuil de leur porte, ils savent qu’il grandira un jour afin de devenir leur partenaire. Ignorant leurs instincts protecteurs, ils quittent la vallée, laissant l’homme derrière eux, car qu’ils ne peuvent pas faire partie de sa vie ou bien ils menaceraient l’avenir qu’ils partageront un jour.
Quand les deux ours reviennent enfin pour découvrir que Paul est devenu un homme, ils savent qu’il est temps pour eux de réclamer celui qu’ils ont toujours su être à eux.

Too much drama for the ending with an unnecessary filler to tighten their bonds. I could see why Paul have to surpass his own issues, but the way he reacts to his mates is not right in my mind. They love him, yet I'm sitting here thinking that Paul's love for them is for his advantage.
By the by, I quite liked this book for killing my time.

2.5 stars
Quite ridiculous.
I'm still not sure what to think about this series. There is something entertaining about them, but the writing is not that great and not even the (not so great) sex scenes can save the weak plot.
Brynn and Tomas are two bear shifters. They find a woman on their doorstep one day, about to give birth. Once they bring her to the hospital, she has the baby but then leaves without a word. Brynn and Tomas know as soon as they see and smell the little boy that he is their mate. But they cannot take care of him, since that would make the baby their son.
So they find two bear shifter friends who are willing to take care of the boy, and then they both leave Bear Mountain.
25 years later Paul is the only unmated human in Bear Mountain and he has never felt like he belonged. That is until two big bears show up to claim him as their mate.. (Did I mention the fact that bear shifters are apparently immortal and don't age?)
This story is filled with such ridiculousness that I got my weirdness fill with this. My favorite thing was how the BDSM was introduced.
Brynn and Tomas just bought the house of a friend of theirs when they take Paul back to that house. And tadaaaa, the house comes with a fully equiped playroom (how convenient). And yet, no one seems to think about the fact that this playroom belonged to the person the house belonged to before them and that this is the person Paul has called uncle his entire life.
And Paul also immediately jumps at the chance to be tied to a St. Andrews cross and spanked, without any introduction to BDSM before that. I think that scene was just there to put BDSM in the warnings and to attract more people to read this book. It came out of nowhere and didn't make any sense at all. I would have liked a little more introduction instead of smack bam, BDSM scene.
Overall this was a ridiculous MMM bear shifter mpreg book, enjoyable, but a bit too silly to be good.

2 and 1/2 stars rounded up. I found Paul to be obnoxious through most of the book. It was also just two short. However, the claiming scene was very hot so I rounded up instead of down.

so. .. the one thing I don't like about this series. .. is how the Brother Bear's only have a deep FRIENDSHIP with each other even AFTER they've found there third. (sorry I'm reviewing these out of order, I'm actually on book 4.... ). It seems like they should be an established couple, but on page, they never move past the fact that they are only waiting for their mate and even though that one person is "their's. .. they aren't each others!

I didn't originally want to go back to this series. It's very superficial and formulaic. However, I find I like that right now. Human or omega meets his bear mates (always in a pair) -- some political machinations, a lot of sex, insta-fate-mate. I would probably blaze through these in a major binge if Books 4-10 were on Kindle Unlimited but, since they are not, there are many other books to read that are and these will take a back seat. Way back. That's a shame as these are perfect for the world we live in now - but given the economic situation I'm not up for a major purchase. So odd that Books 11-22 (or however many there are now) ARE on KU. That creates a fractured experience. Perhaps a publisher change? In any case I love this author's newer work such as His Surrogate Omega which is longer with much fuller characters and richer plot lines. That's what had me going back to this series - which shows the beginning of the talent that was to come.

4.5 for me. I LOVED this second book in the series, possibly a bit more than the first one. I really liked that it dealt more with the bear shifters and started to get some multi-story conflict going on. I also enjoyed the threesome more in this, I felt like it was fleshed out a bit more than the first pairing. My heart broke for Ben, and I want to know more about Asher, so I hope his book will be next! Really enjoying this series, can't wait for more!

3.5. I liked the different angle here of Brynn and Tomas being there when their mate, Paul, was born and allowing him to be raised by another bear couple so they could see him as a man when he was of age. The middle gets convoluted with Paul having a few bi-polar moments that were both confusing and not cute, but then the story gets on track again toward the end. 3.5 stars. On to Book 3!

I am struggling with this series. The first book I read by this author was His Surrogate Omega and I would have given it more than 5 stars if it was possible. It maybe because these books are so much shorter and aren't providing as much background, but I am finding I am not connecting with the characters as much.

Brynn and Tomas, waited 25 years to claim their mate paul. With, love protection, commitment, pure devotion.
Ben, awww he broke my heart.
All Paul wanted to do was to belong, be a part of this community, be claimed, and he finally gets his dream, and someone is out to destroy them all.
Loved this, LOVING THESE SEXY BEARS

Seeing things up for future books
I didn't think that this story felt as complete as the first book; Paul and his mates didn't really get the chance to get to know one another and I felt that this book was just there to set up the main story line for the series.

This was a 4.4 stars book. Cuz characters and story was really good. But then chapter 13 came along and absolutely ruined everything.
Tropes: •CBT, •slight rough play, •2 bear friends x 1 human, •fated mates, •muscular x buff bear MCs, •DP, •mpreg, •insta love/lust elements, •3rd person POV. •There is on page death of 2 minor side characters which is the set up for the next book. Ben, i think.
Personally, this is the kind of mmm dynamic i love where A & B love C all while A & B doesn't have any romantic relations between e/o (ideally they're brothers or non fwb friends). And C loves both A & B.
Starring Nico as Paul ♥ Characters are my own and made for review purposes only.
And that whole positive reinforcement scene was so sweet and satisfying to read! Since i also like positive affirmations. i'm telling you, it's a good book but a few choice things just dampened the entire experience.
i was very apprehensive about the story's premise. BUT thankfully the events happen after 25 years. So Paul is well into adulthood. It was smooth sailing from there.
i liked Paul very much. i liked how he wanted to be claimed, but his anger made him blame his mates, but he also confessed his faults. The guy really loves Bear Mountain, he just hates how he's treated. He's demanding but also, very sweet and fragile.
i really liked the friends Brynn and Tomas. They waited 25 years for Paul. i liked seeing the changed brought in Tomas’ attitude towards the whole thing. From being cold and distant towards baby Paul to charging forward and protecting adult Paul.
i loved seeing my boys from the 1st book! And bbe Carson! The foster parents and Ben were nice too but i won't be reading their story.
So why 3 stars?
i did not like ch 13. Literally what a useless chapter giving 3rd person povs of 3 randos. Like you will lose NOTHING of the story if you ignore it and read from ch 14. In fact that seems to be the original story and ch 13 seems like an added afterthought. It's there to set up a later book. i'm here for Paul and his bears and NOT to listen to a random doc and his sheriff husband claim some kid as their third. No. No, thank you.
Did not like that there was no epilogue. Did not like that Paul's pregnancy wasn’t explored. i think people who don't wish to read the entire series would be robbed of their fav thouple's progress.
For the kink side, this one features mild c&b t and very slight (read barely there) rough play.
You see, the reaction of the receiver is quite crucial in rough play and so here, either the guy was not vocal at all or no verbal exchanges took place at all. The act was described, but no moans/reactions from Paul was described (talking only of rough play). What a bummer. 💀
i liked the main characters so much especially Paul. But there's so little about them here that i don't think i'll reread. i've reread Carson's story again, and i wanted to reread this too. Just for Paul, Brynn and Tomas.
Who knows? For now i'd like to read some more from this series. Or i should say, ones that appeal to me.

Word about the triad
This is the second book of the series that I’ve read. If you’re interested in a true ménage them know that that’s not what you get in the story. The two bears are not romantically linked they are only romantically linked to the human. No kissing, no touching, though they do sleep with the human at the same time as part of the mating ritual. This left me unsatisfied with the triad. The book is decently written, but absolutely nothing special.

Exciting and informative.
This one gives us so much more then just a love story. We get to know more about the community and it's inhabitants. I was surprised but not at th same time. I knew there was something shifty, ( pun intended) about that guy. Can't wait to see how this turns out. I do think Paul's dad's are just what a certain someone needs.

I'm still not sure how I feel about mpreg, but that aside I'm enjoying this series. The books are short and sweet and great for 'filling a gap' between more lengthy tomes. Paul is a bit of an ass, but I guess given his background it's to be expected. I'm looking forward to seeing how the underlying story pans out

Very unique dynamics and reason for what happened I have read it more than once. I like how it put that you revisit characters in the other books if reading out of order looks like chaos but read them right an very uniquely put together to make a whole as a series including spin off series just love it

Bear mountain 2
The two bears in this book scent their mate in a newborn baby and have to wait 25 years to claim him, add in some drama from one of the elders who wants to stir things up and you have a recipe for a good series

J'ai pas grand-chose à dire sur ce livre. J'ai moins apprécié ce tome que le précédent et je me suis pas attaché aux personnages. C'était juste pas mauvais. Mais ce tome reste plus dynamique que le premier.

Pretty good storyline
Pretty good storyline that expands someone on first. Bit more in depth from first, so not didnt feel like just erotica. Makes me want to keep reading

What a beautiful story, having to wait for that long for the one that holds your heart would be impossible. I had some tears near the end but I am happy it ended happy. Xxx

Emotions run high in this book.
I did not expect the sadness in this book . It left me in tears . But the sadness was overshadowed by the love that was integral to the story .

4 Heart Review by Dan
I’m really liking this continuing story of the bears of Bear Mountain. In “Claimed by Two Bears” we shift focus to Paul, the human we met in book one that works for Royce and Jared at the resort.
Paul has always felt like an outcast. A human raised in the bear world, but always looked down upon. He wasn’t allowed to attend the bear schools, he wasn’t allowed to mix with the bear cubs, and he was looked at as the lowest of the low by many….an unmated human.
But some always knew the truth. That Brynn and Tomas were Paul’s mates. That they had gone away into the human world twenty five years ago so that the orphaned infant that was Paul could be raised in the valley and on Bear Mountain.
Now Brynn and Thomas are back. Will things change? What about the naysayers, like Traylon, who will say and do anything to discredit Paul? And why does he hate Paul so much?
I liked how this book continued the story of Royce, Jared and Carson while at the same time bringing in new characters who became the MCs. Kelex has done a good job as usual with world building, and we’re learning more and more about this group of shifters as we go along.
Along the way, there is more sex (surprise…lol), lots of double penetration, and even some sex using clay as lubricant. Not so sure I’d try that at home! ;-)
I really enjoyed this installment and can’t wait for the next one to arrive! I want to know more about Bear Mountain and its bears!

This is the second book is this wonderful series. I understood Paul's anger at not knowing he was a mate, that he would be claimed, after years of feeling an outcast, and I was so happy that he quickly understood what happened and accepted the love his bears had for him. Their 25 yrs of waiting were not at all easy on them either. I truly loved this story, as well as the first. The characters are so well written as is the story that I found myself unable to put the books down until I hit The End. Even though I wanted them to continue. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a HEA with some danger and sadness but redemption thrown in.
August 31, 2015
I enjoyed both books so far in this series, and I really can't wait to see where the next book leads. It didn't really end with a major cliff hanger, however, it is left open with a lot of things open that could go in several different directions, Can't wait!
September 4, 2015
I liked the first one tremendously. If I could give this book a six, I would!! I cannot wait for the next book. Just curious which story it will be. I want Ben's, but I have a feeling it'll be the sheriff and the doctor.
December 1, 2015
Definitely better than the first one - we finally get some worldbuilding, and the bear community is starting to take shape. We still need to wait until book 4 until we get a real triad relationship, but at least the whole story and the relationship make sense in this one.
