Her Rodeo Bear

Shifter Nation: Wild Frontier Shifters #3

by Meg Ripley

Now that Sierra’s back in town, the rodeo jackpot isn’t the only prize I’m competing for.

Wade
I live for the roaring crowds, epic jackpots, and wild nights of rodeo season.
I’m kicking it off with a hometown competition, so I expect that win will be mine.
But what I didn’t expect?
To run into my old flame down at the Full Moon Saloon.
The way things ended, I didn’t think I’d see her around these parts again.
But here she is, eager to compete against me—
And now sopping wet after I clumsily spilled a tray of beers all over her.
My inner grizzly remembers the white-hot nights Sierra and I used to share.
But Sierra won’t let me forget that we’ll never work as mates.
Now, the only jackpot I want is her.

Sierra
I left Wyoming after high school and never looked back.
I’ve been touring the country ever since, collecting trophy after trophy.
When the rodeo circuit lands me back in Sheridan, I figure the past won’t haunt me.
But sure enough, I bump into the infamous Wade Morgan.
We weren’t right for each other back then, so we definitely wouldn’t be now—
Or at least that’s what I try to tell my stubborn bear.
But seeing those dark eyes and that gorgeous body of his isn’t helping.
Too bad his ass looks so good in those jeans, ‘cause I’m about to whoop it.
I’m not gonna let my bear distract me now.
That prize is mine.

Not for me.. 3 stars

This story wasn't bad, but it just didn't work for me. First off, I found the heroine more and more annoying as the story went on because of her childish tendency to blame Wade for their past and simply run away from her problems, aka Wade. She never gave him a chance, while he was constantly the one working to give their relationship a chance!

Also they were a few holes in the shifter storyline that just didn't add up. Whenever Wade or Sierra shifted into their bears, it was never mentioned what happened to their clothes. Usually, shifting destroys the human clothing and they're left naked when they shift back, but in this story their clothing seemed to transform with them, which doesn't make sense.

Also, one of my favorite tropes in shifter romance is the undeniable pull of fated mates. I love how they are unable to be separated from each and the constant angst and brooding that comes when they're being too stubborn for their own good. However, Wade and Sierra didn't have that all-consuming ache or yearning for their mate and seemed to get along just fine without the other. Overall, the plot was okay but the execution missed the mark for me.

This book is fantastic! We head back to Sheridan for Wade and Sierra's story and it's going to be a bit of a bumpy ride. Their reunion takes place in the local bar when Wade slips and spills his drinks all over Sierra. He soon gets her to go out with him with the idea he will replace her boots. The old spark they felt years ago is back. There will be trouble as the rodeo that has come to town has brought with it a pride of lions with malicious intent. Several will be hurt before things can be resolved and Sierra will be one of them. Things get rough for Wade and Sierra as she prepares to leave and he asks her to stay. She will head out of town before turning back and giving Wade another chance which will lead to their happy ending.

Wade Morgan and Sierra were sweethearts long before the current rodeo in Sheridan that brings her back to the area. Sierra had left town and never look backed until now, but seeing Wade again, those old feelings come flooding back. Wade had never stopped thinking about her.

Sierra’s bear is delighted to see Wade again. But his pushy attitude and their old anger issues still cause them trouble. Their bears have known all along that they were mates. But the stubborn human part of them would not acknowledge it.

When each of their rodeo partners are attacked and cannot compete in the rodeo, will they partner up instead? Will this be the start of a second chance to make their love work?

Wade and Sierra were sweethearts long before this rodeo in Sheridan. Sierra left town and that was the end of their romance but Wade never stopped thinking
of her. There grizzlies new they were mates long before they realized they were. When both of their partners cannot compete in the rodeo will they decide to try to compete with each other as a team? I always enjoy books by Meg Ripley and Her Rodeo Bear was no exception.

Her rodeo Bear is a second chance romance. Wade and Sierra were together until Wade’s overbearing attitude destroyed their relationship. The meet up later at a rodeo competition. The old feelings are still there. But so is the baggage. Together they work their way back to each other while solving the mystery of who is sabotaging the rodeo.

AMAZING! A fantastic, beautifully written read. An intense storyline that holds your attention as you get caught up in the fierce twists and hot chemistry. Plenty of excitement and emotionally heartfelt. A thrilling must read.

[Barbara Hanson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wade made a terrible mistake that cost his mate Sierra, now she is back in town for the Rodeo. When he sees her, he hopes that maybe they might have a second chance.
Sierra left and didn’t look back until now, but when she sees Wade those old feelings come flooding back and her bear is very pleased to see him. But his overbearing attitude and their anger issues are still there, getting them into trouble.
Wade and Sierra both have issues that need to be resolved before a relationship stands a chance and there are times when they could both do with a slap on the back of the head to make them see reason, making this a fun and interesting read. Once again, a great bear shifter romance that I will happily recommend.
I voluntarily received and reviewed an ARC copy of the book.

[Catherine Edgar · Rating 5 out of 5]

While this book is a book in a series, they are each very much stand alone story. The only thing that link each story is how the next character is introduced (mentioned) in the the previous story.

Wade and Sierra were a thing in school but Wade messed up and she moved to Montana and they met again at the Sheridan. Their partners got hurt so they couldn’t ride so they teamed up but there were still problems that had to be addressed for them to move on. Great book!

[Jenni · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable read with Shifters and mates, and trouble around every corner. Nothing will keep these mates apart except miscommunication.

The pages kept turning because I wanted to know what happened.

These books are quick and easy reads.

Keeping a secret has never been so big.

Wade and Sierra have a history and haven't seen each other for awhile. Now they are both back in town for the rodeo and run into each other and sparks fly between them. Wade is being over protective again and this sends Sierra into pushing him away just when it looked like they were making ways to being together again. When he apologizes and tries to fix what he did Sierra agrees to see him. Then people in the competition start having accidents and can't compete which leads back to the lions in town. Wade had said they were bad news but no one listened to him and now they were attacking people. When Wade and Sierra agree to team up for a competition since their team mates are injured this is when things start getting turned on them. Will they be able to handle the lion situation? Will they get their second chance?

This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This is the third book in the Wild Frontier shifter series by Meg Ripley. This time it's the turn of Sierra and Wade, who loved each other back in high school, to see if they can have a future together. They are bear shifters who had seemed perfect for each other. But Sierra left town leaving Wade to concentrated on becoming a rodeo star. Now years later they meet again at a rodeo where they are both scheduled to compete. Wade has never got over Sierra and would love a chance to explore their connection and see if it's still as strong as it used to be. But she's in town with her now partner......

This is an engaging story that had no problem holding my attention it includes action, danger and some intrigue and the characters are well developed, compelling and strong with chemistry that can't be denied.

[Sandy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my, this book has fated mates that said goodbye years ago when Wade tried to determine Sierra's future knowing she wanted something else. He was so protective of her even though she was perfectly capable of taking care of herself. Sparks fly when they are together but Wade keeps making the same mistakes. I loved how strong willed and independent Sierra was and how much she was drawn to Wade. They had a lot to work with as a couple but outside forces were even more threatening to them being together. They were so much stronger when they worked as one and even though they had a lot of challenges, they were meant to be together. I thoroughly liked this second chance romance and how the characters finally got their HEA.

[Sheila · Rating 4 out of 5]

Second Chance Shifter Romance. This is part of the Wild Frontier Shifters series but can easily be read as a standalone. Former sweethearts Wade and Sierra meet up again on the rodeo circuit and find the passion they shared is still there but they have to fight to overcome the barriers that caused them to split in the first place. Thrown into the mix is a suspicious clan of shifters who might or might not be responsible for a series of accidents to competitors on the circuit. Well written and entertaining read

I felt sorry for Wade b

This is Wade's story. I felt a little sorry for him as it never ended well when he saw Sierra again. In mean mean, how can you get over something big you did years ago to keep someone in the town with you. I can see why Sierra was so angry at Wade. So they both rope with their partners,Cash is Wade's and Abbey is Sierras. Although a pride wants everyone to drop out so they can win everything. Sierra and Abbey have an accident which puts the other rodeo driver in the hospital, Wade's partner is also injured. But as they win, the pride want their money. It's do or die time. A great read.

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Her Rodeo Bear by Meg Ripley is the third book in the Shifter Nation: Wild Frontier Shifters series. Now here was a sexy read. I love that Wade is a strong and sexy rodeo star, but I really loved that our heroine, Sierra is too! Meg Ripley gives us a sweet, sexy and complex tale of love the second time around. Action packed with drama, humor, a taste of suspense and lots of simmering chemistry, you can't help but want to read this one in one sitting. This is a Mature Readers Only read that is easily read as stand alone.
