Maria was in the grip of a terrible nightmare, feelings of betrayal, loss of trust, something to do with a man named Chester. Although she didn’t know him, she knew she cared. It was very confusing. As she rode on the bus, she looked out at the beautiful landscape. She was doing research on the movement of bears that seemed to be leaving the area and returning a season or so later. This behavior was not typical. Even hibernation patterns were not making sense. Combined with recent bear killings, Maria was here to help in some way, even if just by discovering what was going on with the bears.
Jack-Dean, when Maria met him, was equally unfriendly – but I can fully understand that. This book was getting more and more difficult to follow.
The nightmare that started this book off was suspenseful and drew the reader in. When it ended and the “real story” begin, I was a bit confused about Maria’s role in coming to study bears and “make it right”. She sounded like just a do-gooder who was curious and figured she would save the bears just by showing an interest, risking her life or whatever else it took. It was not revealed if she worked out of a university or a corporation or what else gave her the authority for such an invasive study? She had no real plan or actual purpose. That’s a very “loose string” that should have been explained to the reader.
Maria referred to the ranger job in general, and not her knowledge of any particular person she knew to back up this thought, as “some guy who was too quick to shoot and lied about his passion for animals” and was no doubt “trigger happy and not likely to listen to her”. That was “right out of left field”, as they say when there is no basis for stating such a “fact”. To me, her credibility dropped a great deal when I read this, even more so when she said “her sole purpose was to take care of the animals, protect them and keep them safe” – huh? She’s going to protect wild animals and keep them safe in one week? When she met the ranger, instead of the reader knowing what Jack-Dean thought, we instead read Maria’s projection of what she KNEW he was thinking. It was really frustrating as a reader. With incorrect word use and other errors, this was not a fun book to read.

The basic story here is that the bears' natural habits are changing, they are not migrating normally, nor hibernating in normal cycles. Also, it appears there are too many bear fights and most are to the death, not typical at all.
Maria is determined to research the cause of this unusual activity and find a way to restore the balance. Jack-Dean is the Forest Service Ranger assigned to keep her safe - but he just wants to keep her out of the forest.
I had a number of issues that may not bother you, but the did me.
This story seems disjointed and unfinished, leaving too many assumptions. What about the nightmare, did the bears recover, did Maria and Jack-Dean mate, live in forest?
This story starts with a nightmare that reoccurs throughout the story (I was hooked instantly), but no hint of the cause of this disturbing nightmare.
This author likes to include stories being read by the main character within her stories and appear to have no connection to the main story. (I actually skipped these areas as the topic/content did not interest me.)
Another quirk is the use of repetitious phrases, day too much. After a few times it becomes annoying, at least to me.
As this could have been a good story, but there just wasn't enough meat to it, I can only give 2 stars

The man grabbed her he put a hand over her mouth she couldn’t scream she knew him she has known him for months and she had trusted him she thought that she could date him but stupid stupid she should of known better, Maria wakes up drenched in sweat it was only a dream bit it has shaken her right to her core. Maria was doing a paper researching the migration of bears but bears don’t migrate, but lately they have been leaving their territories and then coming back a season or so later. Everything was wrong and Maria was determined to find out why there were so many bears being killed, Maria wanted to help she loved animals and what’s a bit of danger she also has a Ranger there to help her at her father’s insistence of course. I enjoyed this story there were a few mistakes but it didn’t make much of a difference to this story, a great story and I recommend this book.

I love the idea of this story, but it seems rough and not quite finished. Maria is a researcher going up into the mountains to find out why so many bears are being killed off and what can be done to save them. She meets Jack-Dean, the ranger who is supposed to be her guide and protector. Maria keeps having unexplained nightmares of someone named Chester, and that is never delved into or resolved. At the end there is nothing to tell the reader if the bear population was then saved....did Maria and Jack-Dean become mated? Just too many unresolved questions to make this sing.
