Polar Bliss #4
Beary Familiar
BBW Paranormal Shapeshifter Romance
Polar bear shifter, Ridge Holland, is the second oldest Holland brother, and the only one out of his siblings that isn’t mated—yet. After years of waiting for something extraordinary to happen, he’s finally ready to face the fact that fate has something else in store for him. He’s not complaining, though. Not when he loves Jane way more than a best friend should.
Curvy girl, Jane Hart, has been best friends with Ridge for over twenty years, and she knows all about shifters. She also knows she’s not Ridge’s mate, even if he feels like hers, and that truth scares her more than she wants to admit. More so because once a shifter finds his mate, everything changes, and deep down, she knows she’ll lose more than her best friend.
Ridge knows he messed up with the whole mating thing in the past, and that he has some major groveling to do, but he isn’t worried. Okay, so he’s a little worried, but he knows he shouldn’t be. Not when he has the perfect plan, and the perfect gift, to show Jane that he’s serious about taking their relationship to the next level. Of course, things don’t always go according to plan, and when Jane realizes what Ridge has done, things will never be the same between them.

Beary Familiar, Indeed
Ms. Shae saved the best for last with the Polar Bliss series!!
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning all about the Holland family and their mates. Their love, loyalty, and protectiveness of their mates is so sweet and sexy.
Ridge and Janie are so precious together as lifelong friends that have started feeling more than just friendship towards each other. They are both struggling to handle and make sense of these new emotions.
I’ve been a fan of Ms. Shae’s for a few years now and fallen in love with every one of her characters I’ve read about.
She creates the perfect combo of romance, friendship, family, drama, suspense, and characters you can’t help falling in love with!
The Polar Bliss series is a total of 4 books that can be read alone but I personally recommend reading in order.
Happy Reading Y’all!!

Poor Janie and Ridge.
I love this series. I think Ridge is my favorite not very bright in the beginning but you'll understand once you read the book. Janie has always loved Ridge she knows what he is and that he has a mate but still a girl can dream right. Ridge poor fool he was so confused about being Janie's mate the he waits till it's almost to late. But when secrets come to life that reveals why they had such a hard time realizing they where mates can these two weather the storm and find their happily ever after?

Ridge and Jane
This is the fourth novel in this series but it can be read as a standalone. Ridge and Jane have been best friends since kindergarten. Finally after so many years Ridge realizes that Jane is his mate! As so many things begin to happen there mating bond only grows stronger. A wonderful read about enduring love 💘 overcoming all obstacles. Good book! Great 👍 series!

Intriguing and different
This may be my favorite book by Ruby Shae that I've read so far (and I've read most of them) it was different and it had this underlying issue that wasn't typical of the other books. I want to know more though. I could read a huge book of their story with more secrets revealed.

Binge two
This is the secon
d series that I totally enjoyed. I think I've definitely discovered a new author to add to my favorites. This series also caused me to binge the whole thing. I love paranormal fiction and I appreciate the fact that these books all also share the importance of family. All I can say is I will definitely be reading more from this author.

Well there was a twist
Glad they found their HEA! Sad about her mom and what she did to her daughter. Always sad when parents don't want the best for their children especially for children who do what they can for their parents with no thanks. I like this family.

Wrapped up the series nicely. Have loved all your books.
Sad to see this series end. Can’t wait for your next book. Maybe a short story on their lives in the future.

Shae does it again with a great bear shifter book. Interesting twist at the end but that's all I will say. Highly recommend.

What a twist!
I'd been wondering throughout the whole series what the deal was with Ridge and Jane; this is a well-planned, surprising twist!
