Bear Clan Complete Series Boxed Set
Jenika Snow - 2019
I made no apologies for my possessive, territorial side. I was a grizzly bear shifter, after all. It was my nature to be over the top. -BEARly Mated to the Grizzly (Book 2) I decided to get away from it all, go out in the middle of nowhere to clear my head and focus on what was important.
Things were going great until a bear was at my back door, trying to get in. And it ended with me wielding a knife for protection and realizing it wasn’t just any bear, but a shifter who claimed to be my mate.
Maddix.
-The BEARly Tamed Grizzly (Book 3) I didn’t know her, what she looked like, where she was, but I knew my mate was out there. And it was that truth that had me saving myself for her. Only her. If I couldn’t fully give myself over to my fated mate, what kind of worthy male was I?
But staying in town, hidden deep within the forest, wouldn’t bring my mate to me. I had to go and find her.
I had to make her mine.
-The BEARly Reluctant Grizzly (Book 4) When Asher showed up on my doorstep during a storm, soaking wet, looking feral, telling me he’d tried to stay away but couldn’t, I knew one thing for certain. These weren’t just idle feelings I was having.
This was what it felt like to be mated.
-The BEARy Possessive Grizzly (Book 5) I devoted my life to working, building a career and business, making sure I was secure and stable in my life for the sole purpose that I’d find her, that everything would be ready and perfect for her.
My mate.
The one woman who would complete me.
The one woman who was born to be mine alone.
-A BEARy Happily Ever After (Book 6) An alpha, bear-shifting virgin who was saving himself for his mate.
That’s what I was. And I was fine with that, because saving myself for the one female who was meant to be mine was the only thing I ever wanted.
A lone bear without a mate was a depressing thing. And even though I knew she was out there—the other half to my soul—I was beginning to think there was no happily ever after for me.
Until I saw another male lusting after her. There was no way I could control myself. She was mine, and if that meant kicking the ass of the man who wanted her… then so be it.
Rue would be mine.
