Silver Shifter #3
Her Bear
Ariana has been kidnapped.
Ariana hoped never to know the horrors of living in captivity again. But she wakes to find herself a prisoner once more, and no one can save her this time. Her captors have bound her beasties inside her, her mates don’t know where she is, and a betrayal shatters her last hope.
Soon she learns the terrible truth. Her captors plan to use her blood to exterminate vampires. Trapped in a science experiment from hell, Ariana has no escape.
But there are two things her captors didn’t count on. Ariana’s blood does more than turn vampires human. And no one knows just what Ariana is truly capable of—not even Ariana herself.
This is a reverse harem paranormal romance that features one kick-butt woman and her four shifter mates. It contains violence, medium burn romance, sexually explicit content, magic, vampires, and a lot of action. For ages 18+.

Good series
Still a good series. Character development is better. The book could use a proofreader though. Overall still an interesting story.

I hadn’t read anything by Alexa B. James before trying Her Wolf, the first in the Silver Shifter series she has been co-writing with Katherine Bogle. Frankly I only tried out the book as I’ve consistently enjoyed everything written by Kat Bogle. Good thing I did as this is great stuff. Highly addictive too, as evidenced by how greedy I was to glom onto Her Bear (Book 3) as soon as I could. For fans of urban fantasy romance this series is pure catnip. Ariana (Ari) and her guys are wonderful characters and I’ve totally loved following them along. As for this book, while Ari may seem to be separated from her guys and in an escape-proof “science experiment from hell”, I wouldn’t worry. How she deals with this, though, now that’s more than worth finding out. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.

Book 3 has some tough moments, not gonna lie, but that isn't why I rated it a 3 instead of a 4 like the others. Again I think book 1 was the strongest of the bunch and as the books went on the cohesion stumbled. I think that is a tough thing to overcome when cowriting and I had high hopes for this series based on book 1, but again I liked the storyline and the characters so this one was still a solid 3.
We get to the see Ari handle being in this prison/laboratory and the scientist that slowly loses her mind. I felt so bad for Ari and what she had to go through. My heart was wrenched from my chest with the experiment she had to witness and I hope that scientist got what's coming to her after creating the abomination she did. I couldn't get over the one character's naïveté and how wrong he was. Like I knew he was shady earlier in the series but I couldn't get over just how oblivious he was to how much they were hurting her and he thinking it was ok for the greater good. Won't go much into so I don't spoil it but boy does he have a lot to answer for in book 4.
I again love seeing the different versions of Ari come out to play. She is pretty BA and I love the reunion and how cute her mates are. I can see their family starting to form and it was good to see. I felt bad for the baddie because of what happened at the end. Here comes the war everyone was trying to avoid but because of the scientist is coming to a head. Already listening to book 4 because I need to know how this series ends!
In terms of the I thought the emotion in this one was superb. The anguish, pain, and inner strength was great by the female narrator. I still have the same comments as before, the narrators arent the best at the opposite sex, with the female narrators Indian accent fading/changing in this book unfortunately. The male narrator did a great job being scattered, freaking out over the loss of their mate. The one secret baddie (had good intentions but blew up in his face) also was done well with his seeing the pain in Ari in the lab and having a ton of conflict raging inside.

This is the third book in the amazing Silver Shifter series. The Silver Shifter is unlike most shifters. She is discovering her ability not only to unite differing clans, but to shift into different animals as well. Definitely a series to be enjoyed by adults.
Ariana is the first Silver Shifter in a hundred years. No matter the clan this shifter is born to, it is their destiny to unite the four clans of N. Y., the wolves, bears, panthers, and dragons. None has ever done so in quite Ariana’s fashion. She quickly realized that though born a wolf shifter, her animal was meant to claim the alpha of each of the four packs as mate.
Needless to say this controversial method of uniting the clans did not always meet with instant approval! Further, since she and her parents before her were owned by a witch and forced to fight in the pits for her life, the witch is eager to reclaim what he sees as his property. The vampires are against all the clans and have made attacks repeatedly on Ariana and her mates. Ariana’s blood has proven to be a cure for vampirism to those who tasted it. But they don't wish to be human again.
Now she has been abducted from bear territory in the night. No one knows where she is and the three alpha’s who have so far claimed Ariana as mate are frantic to get her back.
It will be a surprise to everyone to find who has taken her. Have the clans been betrayed?

OUTSTANDING!!!
OMG! Wow! Man, talk about rocking it from the git-go. The tension is thick, the danger is high and the connection is skyrocketing. A whirlwind of unexpected activities and surprising events that keep you on a razors edge flipping page after page. Twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few glitches here and there it spins this baby tighter and tighter. One engaging storyline and gripping plot catapults this bad boy to life beautifully. Struggling through all the trials and tribulations as our main female comes to terms with herself. The characters are authentic, approachable and so realistic with depth and individuality it's easy to relate. The scenes are vividly described it paints an amazing backdrop that really pulls this bad boy together flawlessly. Amazing job guys, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.

A fantastic Read this is a great addition to the series. Ariana gets kidnapped. She wakes to find herself in captivity again. This read is Epic Ariana learns new things about herself she didn't know. Why do these people want her. This read takes you through alot of twists and turns that you won't see coming. And you can't help but route for her as she faces these truths. Its a fast paced read. That the Authors have really brought out the Characters and made this read an Epic read. One that you won't want to put down. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. Its a definitely a must read. With shifters in it and magic. And so much more. Its definitely more than a five star read.

I knew Jett was involved. I even understood his reasoning if I’m being honest. However he could have gone about it in a different way. He did try to help her once he realized how bad it actually was but it was to late. I’m glad that she doesn’t want a war, and is forgiving. I don’t think I would be. It’s crazy that her blood turned the vampire turned human into a monster. That was unexpected. The fact that the queen of vampires loved her only makes it worse. It’s going to be interesting to see if Jett grovels. I also wonder if there is some way for Ariana to help Jade become human or a vampire again.

Her Bear starts where Her Dragon finishes and Ari is in trouble, and whilst her mates are working hard to find her she is going to have to work smarter and harder to be reunited with them.
With a war getting close and looking more likley Ari is going to have her work cut out for her if she hopes to unite all four shifter clans and bring about peace.
Now that some questions have been answered I am looking forward to seeing how these problems will be resolved and how explosive it will all be.

Her Bear is Book 3 in the Silver Shifter series. Didn't think this series could get better, what a mistake. The action is non-stop, the pace fast, and the characters you become more emotionally involved with. Who is behind Ari's kidnapping and imprisonment? Who betrayed Ari? What affect does Ari's blood have on the vampires? You'll find the answers in this book. The cliffhanger at the end leaves you sad and needing Book 4 for answers. Her Bear is a must read. Received an ARC and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Stopped at 72%
When reading PNR, I tend to give the story leeway in what I will tolerate from a believability standpoint. It can sound crazy as hell, but if written so that it seems logical, good job! This series has some problems in this area, plus other minor things that bothered me. I finally reached my end point of tolerable stupidity when the paramilitary unit that kidnapped her used a van as a getaway vehicle that had licence plates in full view, and traceable by a run through active plate records. Nope. Too stupid for me!

This story picks up shortly after book 2. Ariana has been kidnapped. I can’t say much more with spoiling aspects, but wow - the betrayal mentioned in the blurb — Just wow. There were times I wanted to shake the person. I can’t wait to o see how this all plays out in book four, and how or if that person can be redeemed. This is a great series, but definitely start at book 1, as these are not stand-alone books :)

Pulled an all-nighter because I couldn’t put this series down. I’ve read all three in a day and can’t wait for the opportunity to start the last book. Things defiantly heat up and get exciting with lots of twists in this book. I love watching Ari and the guys adjust to their relationship as the mystery of who’s behind the attacks grows. I was so torn and the moral and emotional challenges that arise for Ari just up the ante. I can’t wait to see how it all ends!

The plot thickens
So some shiz goes down in this book.
You can easily catch on to what's up but it's still a very good twist in the story.
Love love love that we have a scene with two mates and the FMC!
Again, altogether, this is a great story that these authors have created; it's not the best writing but the book is still enjoyable. As they are very short reads, these book are great if you have a craving for shifters that you want satisfied quickly.

Cliffhanger
If I have to read a cliffhanger, it should end in a positive way. I'm finished with this series. If I wanted drama and angst I'd watch tv or read the news paper. I'm very disappointed that such a great concept turned into this.
If you like drama, angst, and negative cliffhangers, this is your series.

I really, really like this series. Perfect mix of action, suspense, sexy time... they’re all starting to work together, well, except for Jett. He’s in big trouble. I love seeing how the clans are all starting to come together and the bonds getting stronger with our characters. Ready for the next one.
May 12, 2019
OMG, this book has action, suspense, love, hate, and betrayal. Ariana has been kidnapped. Can her mates find her? Was it the Vampires? Was it the Warlock Was it someone else? Who could betray her? Can she ever bring the Clans together? Will her mates be able to save her? What is really going on? I received a free copy for my honest review.

Outstanding!
With this story there is seemingly no end to the surprises! Just when you think you have a handle on it something throws it all out the window!
This supernatural reverse harem is definitely a keeper! Be sure to start at number one so you don't miss out. I've really enjoyed the journey so far and am a little frustrated because the next ones not out yet, lol!

Interesting
Well. This was an interesting one. Not sure if I liked it more than the last book. Again there was an interesting definition the characters used for consent. No idea how Jett could even think he was ever in the right and then Ariana to want to forgive that toxic behaviour. Glad the boys finally learnt to share though, that jealous thing was starting to grate.

Getting very interesting
In not going to lie.. I kind of wanted to pass on this series in the middle of the last book. Then we had a little cloak and dagger cliffhanger and it improved. This book was a lot better and I like how Ari is growing with her mates and I'm excited to read the next book.

Another great book
This book was a great continuing story from the last two books. Lots of twists you might not have seen coming to make an amazing third book. I would recommend this book totally

An action packed story that was fantastic to read picking up where the last left off. There's a few twists and turns that were unexpected. The characters were well written intertwining with one another. Definitely worth the read.

Action Packed
We pick up with Ari being kept prisoner and the guys have No clue she is gone yet. All kinds of chaos breaks loose once they do. The story goes back and forth between her POV as well as from each of the guys. There were quite a few surprises that I did not see coming and the appearance of her bear which I was hoping for. Great addition to this series. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

Loved the twist
Son of a panther!! Jett sure got my blood boiling but I could see from his point of view how he thought his actions would help everyone in the long run. I love how the guys work together and put their differences aside.

Must Read this series
God !!! I absolutely love this series. The cliffhangers are driving me nuts but that’s what makes you crave the need book in a series. Jett is a humongous dipshit seriously. Why didn’t he just ask her for help 🙄 and to top it off the queen is nuts .

Jett
I wish I could say I was shocked about Jett's betrayal. But hosently, I saw it coming. I'm disappointed in his reasoning. It's just dumb. But I hope he can redeem himself in the last book.

Well this book just took a turn I didn't see coming! The next book is gonna be EPIC! Her Bear took my on a rollercoaster of emotions and had me on the edge of my seat in suspense. I cannot wait for the next book!!

Another so so
I am not a huge fan of Jett. I don't see any way that could change no matter what he does to supposedly redeem himself and that makes the book less enjoyable for me. I will finish the series and hope it gets better.
