Her Bear Protector

by Doris O'Connor

[Cocktails and Books]

Have I told you lately how much I love Doris O'Connor? Well, if I haven't, allow me to tell you now. I LOVE DORIS O'CONNOR!!! I thank Doris for my love of shifter books. The very first one I read was one of hers, and I haven't missed a single one since. Each new one becomes my favorite, and "Her Bear Protector" is no exception. It's hard to believe but it is even sexier than all of the others. I was ready to combust with each new, hot scene.

First, there is Ronan. How do I describe Ronan? He's a Harley riding, tattooed, ultra Alpha bear shifter. He's also A-MAZ-ING!!! He radiates heat, passion and sex...in human AND bear form. He has a job to do, but he can't help the pull he feels toward Tina. She runs a cleaning service, and she admittedly fantasizes about her hot client.

The story quickly takes off from there. It's not a very long book, so it HAS to be quick. However, it doesn't FEEL quick. It's perfectly paced, and there's a lot more going on than a bear claiming his mate. There are delightful background characters (and a few that aren't so delightful) like Mrs. Hastings, the local witch. Everyone should be fortunate enough to have a Grandma like her. She'll make you laugh hysterically, and she'll charm you completely. She's the perfect to balance the panty melting sex.

I can't say too much more, or I'll give away all the good stuff. You have to trust me on this one. "Her Bear Protector" is a wonderful trip into a a town full of fantasy that you'd love to visit...and maybe stay awhile. It's incredibly erotic, with BDSM elements, so you will encounter some spankings and other lovely toys. There's even a very memorable scene near a weeping willow tree that will make your knees weak.

Doris has done it again, and you owe it to yourself to grab this book.
