Tori Griswold is used to the finest things in life, not slumming it in rural Connecticut.

When the ‘Old-Money’ Griswold family is threatened, Billionaire patriarch Charles Griswold sends his youngest daughter, Tori, to the small town of Mystic for her safety. Tori, an eighth-generation bear-shifter isn’t happy about being sent away. She’s old enough to look after herself, and Mystic, Connecticut is deathly boring.

Until she meets William Vance, the SPA member assigned as her guard. Tall, strong, just a little brooding and totally off-limits...Exactly Tori’s type. It’s about time this pathetic town delivered something exciting and Tori will stop at nothing till he’s hers.

Bear Shifter William Vance is meant to protect members of the shifter community. Not babysit bratty young women.

William is a member of the SPA. He’s tasked with protecting the shifters of Mystic, Connecticut, and the surrounding area. But when his job involves protecting infuriating socialite heiresses, William’s resolve is pushed to the limit. Crossing the line with her is out of the question, not to mention, her family could destroy him. Tori drives William crazy, with her stubbornness, enchanting laughter, and breath-taking smiles. She’s everything he shouldn’t want but everything he can’t seem to walk away from.

But, after a passionate, life-changing night together, Tori discovers she’s pregnant with William’s baby. Scared he will reject her if he knows the truth, Tori decides that it’s a secret she can’t tell him...no matter what. But when the enemy of the Griswold family track Tori to Mystic, it’s not just her own life she has to protect, but her unborn child’s too.

Will Tori trust William enough to tell him the truth, so he can protect her and their child? Or will Tori’s stubbornness cost her everything she loves?

Bear's Secret Baby is a paranormal romance with shifters, magic, danger, action, adventure, fate, revenge, banter, humour, and more.
This has all the ingredients that I normally love to find in a romance; whilst I didn't mind the story there are things that just didn't connect with me. I just didn't like the FC, Tori she frustrated me no end. Also it is supposed to be about protection but things they did like letting the person they were protecting go out by themselves is a no, no. The premise is good but it didn't wow me.

A great addition to the storyline. It again has a little bit of everything in it. Not as much action as the first book, but just as good. It's a good plot, loved the new characters that come into play. Even with the snooty lead female, she still had a soft side. The male lead was hard headed and needs a smack upside the head and told to man up a bit and tell her how he feels. And how it all ended and with whose whose threw me for a bit of a loop. But glad it ended on a good note.
Victoria aka Tori doesn't want to leave her father and the city she's loves. All because someone is threatening them. She doesn't want to go to some backwater town, but her dad is right about one thing, she wouldn't be happy in one spot for lone in the city. Hopefully this will quick and she'll be back with her friends in no time. Because her bodyguard Mr. Grumpy Bear William, does not look like the fun type even though he is handsome and around her age.

**********Contains Spoilers**********

I enjoyed this book. I really liked the chemistry between Tori and William. Tori’s father is a billionaire, so she’s a spoilt princess. Her father caters to her every whim expect for when it comes to her safety, as he’s received some extremely nasty threats so he wants Tori far away from the City, while him and his security team hunt for the person who’s been threatening them. He sends her to the tiny town of Mystic so someone from the SPA can protect her. William is given the job of babysitting/protecting Tori from those that want to harm her. They started off their relationship on not great terms as Tori was acting like a spoilt b*tch when she showed up at the SPA, it didn’t help things when Tori showed up with 4 suitcases. She overhears him call her a nightmare. They barely talk the first few days until they form a tenuous friendship. They take one step forward, two steps back with their relationship. They both make assumptions about what the other thinks, so after they hook up William freaks out that she was vulnerable and that they keep their relationship strictly professional. William also thinks that he can’t complete with any other guy from Tori’s life because he was orphaned as a teenager and was taken in by David from the SPA. Will Tori and William ever learn to communicate with each other about their wants and fears? The big reveal about who was threatening Tori’s family and why was a twist that I didn’t expect. I’m looking forward to reading Axel’s story next. I’d definitely recommend this book, series and author to everyone.

I loved William and Tori’s story!! She is a billionaire spoiled princess that her daddy indulges every whim she has except for when it comes to to her safety. So she is sent from the big city to the little town of Mystic, Connecticut. William is tasked to babysit, I mean protect Tori from the man who is hunting her father. He didn’t know just how beautiful she was until they meet in person, but William keeps telling himself that she is vulnerable and he has to keep their relationship professional. William doesn’t think he can complete anyway with Tori’s life because he was orphaned as a teenager then David the head of the SPA took him under his wing. Will they catch whoever is stalking Tori’s father before the violence escalates? Will William be able to protect Tori while keeping her at arms length?

Victoria Griswold is a spoiled princess and has an amazing life until her father life has been threatened and to keep his daughter safe he sends her away to Mystic in Connecticut but she also gets a bodyguard and he is a hottie William Vance from SPA agency. William is not happy about babysitting a spoiled rich kid but when they meet she is a knockout and now he finds himself trying to keep his hands to himself.
This book had me crying with laughter in places with the stuff that Tori was doing by trying to get Williams attention but all he saw was a spoiled princess. Now after one amazing night together she finds out she is pregnant but she is scared to tell him and now they have found her in mystic she has to think of her baby now as well. Can these two find happiness when they are from to different sides of the tracks.

I absolutely loved reading this book, it was full of action, intrigue and romance. Victoria Griswold was sent to the town of Mystic to be protected by SPA (Shifter Protection Agency) agent William Vance. The two of them took an instant dislike of each other before getting to know each other better. What started off as a rough start, turned into a very loving relationship.

Their love is tested and they struggle with their inner demons, but when tragedy comes along, they discover their love grows stronger and then they learn of a new life that will enter their lives in the not too distant future.

I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and review with my honest and fair opinion.

A entertaining, quick-read shifter romance with a well-written, intriguing plot. The characters (a young female bear shifter, Victoria Griswold aka Tori) & (a male bear shifter, William Vance) are fairly well-developed but are inclined to be quite secretive & often misunderstand each other.
There is: bear shifters, witches, rogues, a Shifter Protection Agency (SPA), twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, friendship, deceit, betrayal, abduction, magic, threats, danger, enemies, conflict, some violence, memories, misunderstanding, regrets, unplanned consequences, secrets, longings, devastating news, heartache, despair, surprises, love, contentment & a well-deserved satisfying conclusion.

Tori is sent to Mystic to be protected by the Spa with William as her guardian.
William was surprised when David told him his new job would be guarding Victoria the daughter of businessman and bear shifter Charles Griswold. Victoria is shocked when her father tells her she will be going to to Mystic to be protected by the SPA and after much arguing she packs her bags. The members of the SPA are waiting as the limousine pulls up and are amazed when four huge suitcase are removed from the trunk then Tori herself gets out. She looks around at the town then turns to see all the gorgeous male bear shifters, She is told that she and William will be sharing a house on the other side of town.

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Bear's Secret Baby by Brittany White is the second book in the Shifter Protection Agency series. I really enjoyed William and Tori's story. This quick read is loaded with drama, angst, love and misunderstandings. Once again Brittany White gives us strong characters (that you just can't help wanting to hang out with), sexy shifters, tons of action and an HEA. Despite being a series read, this book can be read as stand alone. A fun anytime read that will have you sniffling (so grab a tissue) and wanting to figure the puzzle out. Mature Readers Only Please.

This honest and voluntary review was made possible by reading a copy through Bookfunnel.

William is one of the bear shifters brothers of SPA who protect the town Mystic and its residents. He has been hired to protect Tori a bear shifter daughter of a rich real estate mogul. She is spoiled and vain but has a heart of gold. At first, they do not hit it off. Then, after she comes down to his level, they more than get along, they end up together. She ends up woth a surprise pregnancy, her father is in danger, people she trusted are no longer trustworthy and she ends up kidnapped! William will do anything to save her...but what will it cost in the end? I received this as an ARC and am leaving a voluntary review.

Tori is a spoiled heiress and sent to Mystic to hide as someone is sending threatening letters to her dad. William is part of SPA and assigned to guard her.

These two get off to a bad start and prove communication is the biggest thing in any relationship. Misunderstandings could have been avoided. Loved the characters they pull you into the story this one had my emotions I will not give away how once you read it you will understand. We have suspense, betrayal, and of course steam

A fun quick read. Will William and Tory ever quit making the wrong assumptions? Can William protect her from the murderer? Who wants Tory's father dead? Will the bears from Mystic come to the rescue again? An enjoyable series about the orphaned bears who become brothers from Mystic. Always a touch of danger, mystery, twists and turns and romance. What a surprise ending. Recommend. Received an ARC and this is my voluntary honest review.

Who is William Vance? What has brought him to the Shifter Protection Agency? We get to catch up a little on/with David, Sam, Axel, Laura, Stella, and Even as well. Why does David go looking for William? Who are Charles and Victoria? Who is Mabel? What is going on that Victoria goes to Mystic? What happens while she is there? Who is behind what is happening with Victoria and Charles? Why? Read and see what happens! I could not put the book down!

I really enjoyed this book. It is well written and the characters are awesome. I can't wait to see if the secondary characters get their own books. These are some twists in this one, I don't do spoilers so get the book and see what I mean. I will repeat give this one a chance, I really think you will enjoy it. Oh yeah, it is a quick easy read!!!

I can tell ya that William needed some sense knocked into him at times. Tori was definitely a snooty spoiled brat. The suspense and twists were good...not knowing who was coming after her dad and why. Which of course is why she needed a bodyguard (babysitter). Well written

It was nice reading William's story. Tori on the other hand was self-centered and spoiled. The characters had to overcome a lot of obstacles but love always win. Great Read.

What a great story!

William and Tori was a story both happy and sad but had me write away! After losing Tori's father it was good to end on a happy note with William's proposal and naming the baby after Tori's father.

Nope. Nope. Not a fucking chance in hell? 4 pages, that’s all it took 4 pages to dislike the FMC.

She is a whingy whiny spoiled princess and I already dislike her enough that I am not interested to see if she has any likeable qualities, no redeeming will ever be enough.
