A BBW Paranormal Shifter Romance (Bears of Grizzly Ridge Book 1)

I completely enjoyed this shifter love story. I admit to being unsure whether I would like the story. My only experience with shifters relates to the Twilight Series and Shookie Stackhouse Series. I was pleasantly surprised. At the end of the 1st chapter I was hooked. The story line was awesome, believable and interesting. The characters descriptions allowed me to visualize each person. Elena's ability to draw the reader into the pages of her book is a gift. I love being able to close my eyes and watch my minds version of the scenes. Reading gives me my own personal movie. When a writer's choice of words, descriptive nature allows me that ability they've entertained me and found a new fan. Elena let me visualize Axel's cabin, his human and bear form, imagine the layout of the den, hear the sparkling fire, picture the visitors milling about, see the mountains, smell the fresh air, relate to the brothers frustration, confusion and sense their concern.
The last part of the book at me laughing my butt off. I would just imagine the look of horror on the douche bag ex-boyfriends face when Axel crashed through the font door as a bear.
A definite home run for Elena Aitken. Worth the read!!!!

What an enjoyable read! Harper is laying low because of her lying scheming ex. Grizzly Point is the perfect place to get away. Axel and Harper are instantly attracted. Unfortunately the creep ex shows up. The twists and turns and hot lovin' make for a good story.

Quite enjoyable and entertaining for anyone who enjoys the paranormal fiction fantasy. Who doesn't love a happy ending? I have to say it's a definite bonus for the sleazy ex to get what's coming to him.. if only they all did.

Hot, Hot, Hot! I don't usually read shifter stories but this one hooked me right from the start. My only complaint is that it wasn't longer. I read it in one night and wanted to know more about these characters. Can't wait for Luke's story.

The characters in the book were well written. Axel tried his best to gently let Harper know what she needed to without scaring her. The brothers all stood up for their brothers mate. It was a really grate book

This is a fantastic new journey into the bear shifter world. It has common characteristics of popular myths on shifters, and several unique (at least to me) variations. Crazy hot and sexy. I wish the story had been longer. I didn't want it to end.

Disgraced alpha finds a new home and a second chance among az neighbouring clan. He finds his mate and with her a pack of trouble. He redeems himself in his eyes finally finding closure to a failing that was not truely his.

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced copy. To be able to turn a lousy life with Trent to a trip with a friend to falling in love with Axel ( a hunk). She is definitely a lucky girl. That is a dream come true.

His to Protect is a short hot steamy shifter romance. It wasn’t a wow knock your socks of book, but it was agreeable.

It had some funny moments and hot and steamy moments. I had a nice time getting to know the Jackson brothers that have started this new business. Harper and Nina were enjoyable. I was bit frustrated with Harper and her situation with her ex. She really should have left him once she knew. Axel was a deliciously sexy shifter, who helped Harper find out who she is. It was a sweet romance.

I did wonder if their is a series before this one. It felt like Bears of Grizzly Ridge series was a spin-off. Other then that I enjoyed this quick seductive romance.

Rated: 3 Stars

I really enjoyed this book! It is a paranormal written by Elena Aitken and the first in the series.
Harper Bentley can't get away from her ticking time bomb of a life in LA. She jumps at the chance to visit a lodge in the wild mountains of Montana where her ex, job and media hopefully can't find her.
Axel Jackson is a bear shifter and lately he is feeling restless. He doesn't know what the issue is, but with the family issues concerning his sister's choice of mate and having to run the Grizzly Ridge lodge everything seems to have him on edge.
From the moment Axel lays eyes on Harper he is hooked and he knows that she is his mate, but waiting patiently for Harper to figure it out also, is driving him crazy. He hopes she catches on soon because they are meant to be together.
I'm definitely looking forward to reading more books in this series.

I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
