3.5 stars. A really good read, as per usual for Jade, but you know how some short stories are meant to just be short stories? This isn't one of them...it felt like there should have been a whole lot more to this story. It also would have been nice to have more background on the shifting side of things because apart from mentioning that they were bear shifters of different kinds, and working out they were mates after one three-way because scents merged, there was no other bearing (haha, get it? bearing!) on the fact that this story had shifters in it. Jade's writing is perfect though and it is a really good short read, but make sure you read it when you know you won't be interrupted, I guarentee you won't want to put it down. Nx

Adorable pizzly bear mates, Robin and Christopher, meet a polar bear shifter, Theo, on a plane ride. So wish this had been longer, they were funny and cute, and the three of them work well together. Really liked them.

Very cute, but no shifting, just talk :(

It’s not the first time that Jade Buchanan gave me good time, I remember with pleasure her Sci-fi series with cute and hot half feline, half human characters, but this time she also surprised me with the light comedy mood of her novella; the only complaint I have is that the novella was too short, the good news? It’s first in a new series.

Chris and Robin are shapeshifter pizzly bears; what is a pizzly bear? A mix between a polar and a grizzly bear, and already from the nickname she picked you have the feeling the story will be funny. Other than shapeshifter, Chris and Robin are also mates, and this is not a novelty in a M/M romance, but what is nice is that they are more like kindergarten friends than lovers. Well, actually, we don’t have the chance to glance to their past, but when they meet Theodore, Theo, Teddy Kisoun, a 100% shapeshifter polar bear, both of them are like a kid in a candy story, saucer eyes wide open in awe starring to their favourite candy, a big, long and delicious candy.

Theo wants to play the role of the aloof and detached man, one that is not shaken by anything, let aside two kids at play. But my idea is that, in the end, the two kids obtained what they were searching, both another play buddy but also a mainstay for their relationship; being together for so long, and since they were so young, Chris and Robin didn’t really have any chance to experiment the big bad outside world, and maybe they don’t want to risk. Theo is at the same time adventure and stability, someone they can trust, but not boring at all.

Very nice novella, I will for sure read the following stories in the series.

This was a good, quick read. Robin and Christopher, mated grizzly polar bear mixes meet Theo, a polar bear on a flight to nothhern Canada. It's instant chemistry and what starts of as a threesome becomes much more. An interesting twist for any one who enjoys shifter stories.

Very cute. I loved the characters. I wish it had been a bit longer or had a few more scenes with the three of them interacting but overall it was a fun read. Not my favorite by this author but fun overall.

sweet a short M/M/M romance about bear shifters, even if it was short, the characters personalities were well constructed and had personal traits, i liked it, the sex was hot and non generic.
