Grizzly Love (Kodiak Point, #5)

by Eve Langlais

Dr. Jess is his soulmate. His grizzly knows it. He knows it. Suspects she does as well. But he does have one dilemma standing in his way.

Her husband.

Talk about inconvenient.

Good thing Travis is tenacious. Even if he has to travel across an ocean, endure scorching temperatures and survive attempts on his life, he won't give up until he wins her heart.

Or dies trying.

Jess made a mistake. She married too young, to the wrong man. Problem is, hawks mate for life, and murder is against the law. To add more insult to the situation, her mate won’t even attempt to be a husband. It seems he isn’t interested in keeping his vows, nor is he coming home anytime soon, so when the chance arises to confront him, she takes it. However, facing him changes nothing.

Her husband doesn’t want her…but Travis does. And oh how she wants him too. Wants, and yet can’t have him.

However, her marital problems aren’t the only issue. Their pursuit of the nefarious being behind the attacks on their town is being sabotaged by treachery. When Jess and Travis barely survive an ambush, she can no longer deny her love for the rascally bear. But will they survive long enough to see if it’s possible for her to rectify a wrong and take him as her mate?

My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.

Grizzly Love is the last installment of the Kodiak Point series. In this story, we have Travis, the “cub” that drives everyone in Kodiak Point crazy. He is a momma’s boy and is proud of it. But then, everyone in the town is too scared to call him out for it. His mom and her wooden spoon keep the town in line. And if that doesn’t scare you, she could always cut you off from her cooking. That doesn’t mean that Travis doesn’t get picked on or beaten up, because he takes his fair share of beatings.

Dr. Jess is fairly new to Kodiak Point. She moved to be the town doctor. She is married, but her husband is off in the old troop that the boys in Kodiak Point were in, but refuses to come home, even when given leave. He hasn’t been faithful to her and everyone knows it. Problem is that Jess is a red-tailed hawk and they mate for life, so no matter what her husband has done, she can’t move on with him alive. He is a raven and no such qualms.

When the group learns that the naga, and villain from the previous book, has fled the country and is now not far from where their old military group is stationed, they decide to go after him. Jess, deciding this is a great way to confront her cheating husband, insists on going. It will be dangerous and they’ll need a doctor, right? Well, that then drives Travis to insist on going. He has had a crush on Jess since he first met her. He wasn’t about to let her go into danger without him there to help protect here. Plus, he might finally get in on some action.

Grizzly Love is a great wrap-up to the series. The overall story arc has great closure. We have a great happy ever after for all the characters in Kodiak Point. There are several couples that are even expecting babies. This story has everything you would expect from the series. It is funny, sexy and full of action. I highly recommend this series if you like your shifters with a side of sarcasm. I would recommend starting the series from the beginning, though I don’t know that you would be completely lost if you picked up a book in the middle.

Narration
Chandra Skyye continues to do a good job with this series. I can easily tell the difference between each of the characters. I do listen at an increased speed, because her pacing is a little slow for me, but it works perfectly at that increase. I would still like to see her add more humor to these hilarious book, but overall, not bad.

I like to thank Tantor Media for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
