Publisher Description
He thought he could choose his mate. Fate had other ideas.
When James Borealis’s mating fever hits, the youngest of the polar bear brothers has one plan—claim his best friend before the heat drives him wild. Kaylee’s everything he wants: loyal, gorgeous, and off-limits.
But friendship doesn’t stand a chance against a bear’s instincts.
Kaylee knows all about polar bear mating fever—and she’s not about to become James’s convenient cure. She’s a quiet bobcat shifter with scars and secrets of her own, while he’s the charming face of Borealis Gems, living life in the spotlight. They don’t make sense. They never did.
Until one touch breaks every rule between them.
Now passion’s burning hotter than the Arctic sun, and the only thing more dangerous than surrendering… is pretending they were ever just friends.
Fate’s called his bluff—and this time, love’s playing for keeps.

The Bears Chosen Mate
This book was a much lighter read than the other books I’ve read by this author. I wouldn’t say I was disappointed, it was just a different as I haven’t read any of her shifter stories before.
It was fun, sexy and fast moving. Definitely worth a read. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.
Fun, pasionate, shifters!
I’m always keen to read anything by Vivian Arend, so a brand-new shifter series was definitely well received. The Bear’s Chosen Mate is the first book of a trilogy about the Borealis brothers who have been presented with an ultimatum by their cagey, adorable and meddling grandfather, as it seems that Giles is anxious for some great-grandbabies!
While the storyline about interfering families and forcing one’s hand to ensure mating and the continuation of the species isn’t exactly new; Ms Arend puts a nice twist on the plot with the introduction of a mysterious “Mating Fever” that’s exclusive to bears. This is also a friends to lovers story and highlights the insecurities inflicted by careless parenting and the effect it has on a beautiful and caring soul.
With some mystery and intrigue thrown in around the family business, Borealis Gems and their fierce competitor Midnight Inc. and an unusual delivery to Kaylee’s parent’s house; The Bear’s Chosen Mate is definitely and exciting platform to the next in the series. I thoroughly enjoyed Jason and Kaylee's story, as they are just the perfect couple, but you have to love a sexy and hilarious ending too, and this one leaves me anxious to see what happens next. Watch out Alex, the “Mating Fever” is coming for you!
The Bear’s chosen mate
Another entertaining story by Vivian Arend. Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop, had to keep going until I reached the end. Can’t wait to read the next story.
