Snow Haven Shifters #3
Next-Door Bear Daddy
I Left Snow Haven with a Broken Heart and Pregnant
I had been in love with the bear shifter next door practically since I was born. James always looked at me like I was a little sister. I was heartbroken when he joined the Army and left. However, when he returned, he looked at me with new eyes and saw me for the grown woman that I was.
After two weeks of unbridled passion, he left again with a kiss and a promise. A promise that he never kept – I thought.
Heartbroken and pregnant, I moved to Anchorage to pursue my degree in nursing. I made a life for myself and my son, but never forgot the man who had captured my heart.
When I returned to Snow Haven after my father had a heart attack, James was there. Sexier than ever and the alpha of his clan. My heart reminded me that I had never stopped loving him.
Little did I know that returning to Snow Haven would be dangerous – even deadly -- for me and Sam.
A bear shifter – the alpha of his clan
A shifter female – who thought I stood in her way
A bigoted shifter father – who thought my son was a blight on the clan
I knew that it was a mistake to allow myself to fall back in love with James and hope that maybe, someday, there would be a chance at being a family.
I know he loves Sam and me. But would his love destroy all of us?

He loved her so much that he had to sleep with many, many other women while they were apart to make sure of it. They liked a man in uniform. What can he say! Just gave me the gag reflex. I am sick of these type of romances. And Bear shifting did not work for me unfortunately. And so much time lost due to not talking to each other. Give me a break. He was not a hero to me. At all.

I do love a second chance romance and I like the way that they had to fight to get there HEA and with so many obstacles to overcome I wasn’t sure the would make it. Lina has always loved James but she is human and he is a bear shifter and everything was going great until he up and left and joined the army leaving her heartbroken and pregnant and so she leaves town to start a new life in Anchorage with her son Sam but she never forgot the love of her life James. James is a bear shifter and his life is a mess and the pressure his father is putting on him see’s him joining the army but that means leaving Lina behind and hurting each other. When her father has a heart attack she returns home to Snow Haven with her son Sam and she finds out the James is there and he is the Alpha of his clan and she knows she should stay away from him but he owns her heart. James sees Lina with a young boy and wonders if she is with someone and he missed his chance but learn she is single and that the boy is his son and he longs to be a family with them but his father is causing problems and asks others in the clan to keep them apart. How does it all turn out and can he keep his mate and son safe and have the HEA that they have both longed for together.

It read as though a ten year old wrote it. Sex scenes were bland, and the dialogue was choppy and unnatural. There was no flow when reading. Thank God for KU, I returned this title and popped the author onto my do not read shelf. Don’t want to make this mistake again.

James and Lina grew up with one another and she had had a crush on him as they grew older. When he left for the Army she was heartbroken. He came back on leave when she was due to graduate and spent every night together. He promised he would write to her. The letters never came, she discovered a secret, and moved to Anchorage for college. Fast forward several years later, James is back home installed as the new alpha. When he comes across Lina again, with a child, he knows she is back to care for her father. He meets her child and they hit it off immediately. His father is pressuring him to take a bear mate, but he will not. When it is quite clear where James’ heart lies after he discovers the truth, Lina and her child are in danger unless she meets the demands put forth. What will happen?

okay
I like shifter books but only found this one okay. I encourage the author to keep writing but work to improve her craft. The characters felt very 2-dimensional: Lina was the perfect, sweet, forgiving mother, daughter, nurse; Lainey was the mean girl ambitious, greedy social climber; Sam the perfect, brilliant, polite, super athlete, helpful and obedient son; and so forth. The dialogue felt awkward and not natural (maybe because they all said the “perfect” things?) Sam, the perfect 6 yo, had the most robotic dialogue and I finally figured out it was because he didn’t use contractions so it always sounded very formal, and wayyy too mature for a young boy. She tried to convey that he was very mature for a first grader, but he just came off as a bit over the top. The plot itself was fine, but the characters needed to be a bit more human.

Lina was always crushing on James that lives next door, but he was a bear shifter, and she thought it couldn’t go anywhere. And then one day when he was on leave from the military, he saw her as more than just the gangly teenager he used to cart around on his back and bear form. They did the deed and it was magical, and he promised he would write her, but things weren’t as promised. Lina was heartbroken and decided to pursue her nursing degree in Anchorage with a surprise on board. Years later her father had a heart attack, and she had to come back to take care of him with her little surprise in tow. James, now being the alpha of the bear clan will he have time for Lina who is just a human? What will he do with her little surprise? Will his clan be upset?

This is a well written book with a cast of strong characters centering on Lina, James and their adorable little boy, Sam. The author does a great job building the story as she brings them together as a family. She pulled me in and kept me glued to the pages reading their story. She brings a bit of mystery, action, danger and steam along with the never ending love. It moves fluidly with descriptive scenes and is a great addition to the series. Loved it.

I liked the story. It seems like their relationship was forbidden - that is a human being mated to an alpha and there are a lot of things hindering their relationship. Well, our MC proved that he is truly an alpha, he knew what he wants and never bowed to the whims of his father or be dictated upon.
Oh, the MCs have an incredible kid, Sam. He was wise beyond his years.

Great story
I love the whole world of Snow Haven, and all of its wonderful characters. This is a great book for any Bear shifter fans out there. I love a strong Alpha who is willing to defy old rules to include all fated mates. The former was crazed, and homicidal in his intentions to stay with the old ways. Great happy ending.

I think this particular book tugged at my heartstrings the most. It was sad, happy, sad, happy. I loved lil Sam because he was exceptionally smart for a young kid. The books that he read. And Destiny I just loved her as well. She was Lina’s voice of reason and common sense. Good book

This is one more exciting story by Brittany White. So much drama and deception. Hatred of others because they are different in any way is just wrong on every level and the way it is handled in this story is perfect!

bear shifter love story
Fun light hearted love story. Sex decent but not overly descriptive. 5.5/10 for spice level. I have read other books by this author and they are good solid stand alone books.

I gave up reading at 30% of story.
30% of the way through I gave up on this book. The writing style is dreadful and basic. The dialogue is poor and so are the characters. The child Sam speaks with so much worldly wisdom, as if he is an adult and not 6 going on 7.
