The Bear's Capture
Bear
The solitude had always been my companion and I accepted it, embraced it. Living on my own with the forest as my backyard had always been good enough for me.
Until it no longer was.
The quiet could be loud, the loneliness a burden. I was tired of being on my own. I wanted a wife, needed a woman to call my own.
Who I wanted was Susie.
She was sweet and kind, innocent and soft in all the right places. She made this caveman part of me rise up and take control. The things I wanted to do to her would probably frighten her, scare her away for good.
I didn’t pretend to be a gentleman. I was brutal and savage in my way of living, but when I looked at her I felt something soften within me.
It was time to man up and tell her what I wanted, that she was all I thought about, all I needed in my life.
Susie
I’d loved Bear for as long as I could remember, but I was just the grocery delivery girl, a person he barely talked to, rarely saw when I did my drop-offs. I’d always been too much of a coward to tell him how I felt, so I divulged all my longings and secrets to my best friend.
But I was tired of doing that. I wanted to be honest with him even if that ended up putting this wall between us, even if I got a broken heart.
I was willing to risk all of that to pour my heart out, to finally be honest.
I was willing to do all of that in the hopes he would say he loved me too.
Warning: This may not be a paranormal story, but it has bite to it! With a growly, celibate hero who’s been lusting after one virginal heroine, it’s time he staked his claim in all the ways that matter. Don’t worry, it’s still safe with a HEA and all the sexy goodness that goes along with it!

"The Bear's Capture" is the story of Susie and Bear.
A sweet love story with a hunky secluded mountain man and a girl who delivers him his necessary goods, with relentless yearning, growling, confessions and HEA. Cheesy diabetic coma.

Short and sweet.
Bear has been in love with Susie for years quietly watching her from afar. Wanting her but never thinking he could be good enough for her. He’s a rough and tumble man living his life away from civilisation but knowing he should let her go and letting her go are becoming an impossibility. He needs her to be his and next time he sees her that’s what he’s going to tell her.
Susie is so in love with Bear, she’s been trying to get him to notice her for years but believing she’s invisible to him she’s ready to give up her dream of being with them. Travelling up the mountain once a month to deliver his groceries isn’t enough. It’s time she confesses to him how she feels the next time she sees him.
These two were just so cute, but when they confess to their real feelings it’s definitely kindle melting. Great quick read.

This was a great addition to the series. Bear & Susie's story was the Insta Love you expect from this author. Grumpy loner & sweet virgin = Kaboom! Dirty quick read.

The Bear's Capture by Jenika Snow
I really enjoyed the short story.
Bear isn't much of a social person, doesn't even go into town to get his groceries but you can count on Susie. She works at the store and has always volunteering to take up anything to him in the chance of seeing him. Little did she know that bear has seen her every time she thought she was alone, he was lurking watching her from afar. These two have been in each other presence but none have done anything to approach one another until now. Bear and Susie are both cute in their own way, finally expressing their feelings and going 0 to 100 on their emotions and it's heartwarming to see. It might have been a quick story but we get everything we need in an HEA.
I received this book in trade for my honest opinion.

Bear is a loner. Lives on the mountain in his cabin in solitude. He doesn’t even go to town for his groceries. That’s where Susie comes in. She works at the grocery store and volunteers every time to deliver the groceries to Bears cabin. She just wants him to notice her, to realize she has loved him since the first time she laid eyes on him. This is a short read about an alpha male who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to claim it.

Bear has wanted her from afar for years , she brings his groceries to his secluded cabin he swears the next time he sees her he will tell her she is his.

These two are explosive when they get together and their story will make you fall in love again

Bear and Susie are in love with each other, but neither knows the other is! I loved this short little story that brings Bear and Susie together after longing for each other. I also enjoyed getting to see Wolf and his wife. Jenika Snow writes the instant love stories that I sometimes need in my life and she does it so well. Steamy, hot and a quick read, you still get all the emotions and feelings going on between the characters.

Bear is a recluse out in the woods, but Susie is about to change all of that. Loved this story and these characters!

Bear sought solitude after the loss of his mother years before and has embraced it, letting it heal him. Over time, it's become all he knows and as such, finds socializing in any way uncomfortable, even with his fellow mountain recluse, Wolf (see The Wolf's Capture for his story). But ever since Wolf found happiness with Ruby, Bear is beginning to see his attraction to Susie in a whole new light, one that means she can be his after all.
Susie has wanted Bear for years, and every time she delivers his monthly groceries, a task she eagerly volunteered for and no one else wanted, she keeps hoping her fantasy of them as a couple will become reality. It hasn't yet, but she still wishes for it to. Unfortunately, that's a little hard to do when Bear doesn't even acknowledge her the rare times he's even around when she visits.
Both have vowed to stop hiding what they feel for one another and decide now is the time to make a move, and hope the other returns it, or to win them over if not.
What happens when Bear and Susie open themselves to risk and confess their love for the other? Will their age difference be a problem? Can Susie handle Bear's almost hermit-like existence? Will Bear and Susie compromise to make their relationship work? Is a HEA possible?
One-click now and follow along as two people finally admit their love. Bear and Susie's story may have seemed fast, but considering their has been contacted, even if it was limited, over the years, balances that out to a degree. They knew of each other, and enough to develop feelings, and with time, each new it would only grow stronger, deeper, and it did. I like the fact that Bear was so gone over her, even if they'd barely exchanged any words at first. Their hearts knew one another and that the rest would come. It was an enjoyable story and I'd love to see more like it. - By Elizabeth

This was another great short, sexy and safe story written by one of my favorite authors', Jenika Snow :)
I have to admit that I love when this author writes these short, fast paced, insta-love stories because I'm a huge fan of these types of stories and she definitely knows how to write the right amount of heat, passion and how to input the few obstacles that our couples must face to stay together... it's awesome to be relaxing and reading a hot read on your kindle and imagining in your head as if you were there, every word, every feeling, every scene... only a true author can be able to express that in their stories and their readers to feel it... I have a list of authors' who have that talent and the author, Jenika Snow is absolutely one of them :)
I loved Bear and his Susie's chemistry and even though their love story was pretty fast, you can't deny their connection and then we get their happy ending, phew, I loved it! It had the right amount of passion, humor, emotion but above all, love <3 I can't wait to see what's next from our author, Jenika Snow ;)

The Bear’s Capture might be a novella but a quick read but it is also quick to capture your attention and hold it.
Bear Hollis lived by himself in a cabin the woods, which was possibly a good thing as he wasn’t exactly a friendly, sociable guy. Susie delivered his groceries, like she’d done each month for the past two years, but secretly crushing on Bear. This is their story.
Right from the beginning the descriptions of each character brings them alive and makes them real. Add in the incredible descriptions of the setting where Bear lives and you can almost feel the crisp air of the mountains, smell the wood and feel the peace. This author immediately makes you a part of the story where you experience this
Bear might be a growly, loner preferring solitude and Susie might be a shyish virgin but together they are combustible. Their sexual chemistry is off the charts and so flammable, let’s face it Bear is hot, hot, hot! However, their characters gel together well and their love story is a sweet romance that leaves you feeling fantastic.

Bear and Susie are done denying and are gonna get there HEA. Susie has for 2 long years taking grocery deliveries to the man on the mountain. His quiet sure ways have won her heart and she is no longer just going to sit meekly by and let him go without knowing her true feelings. Bear has pinned after the sweet kind Susie but knows he only has his mountain life and cabin home to offer her. Tired of denying his heart and hunger he is determined to lay it all on the line for her.

Y le entrega sus miedos (es decir, tenía miedo de amar y que dejaran, porque su

tienen dos hijos. Me encantan las historias con hijos de por medion

Style: Insta Romance

Enjoyment:3/5
Series: BOOK 2
Even though insta, this one had a bit more story to it that was a build up. I love Bear and Jenika, did this one good with Susie. I definitely liked Bear’s story more than Wolf’s.
Overall, this is your typical Jenika Snow book, minimal story line with pages of steamy sex scenes that gives that instant high in between my novels.
***I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s definitely about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the stories you read. I hope this review was helpful.

Another great short, steamy romance
The intensity you feel as you read this book keeps growing until the end. I love how both characters decide not to hold back on their feelings at the same time. I also love how there are multiple epilogues so we can continue to see how their love matures and grows. This book is perfect if you are in need of a quick burst of happiness.

Sweet
I enjoyed reading this story. A lot of pulling at the heartstrings. Nothing beats leading with the heart. As good as the story was, the epilogues were perfection for this story, bringing it all together in a sweet happily ever after.

This was another good story. I'm glad there was a little more dialogue between Bear and Susie. I felt a little more connected to these characters, even though it's hard to connect with characters in a short story.
Still a great book with some seriously hot sexy times!
