The Bear's Forever Mate

I love this story and seeing Cooper & Amber get their forever story. Grandfather Giles also gets to see his all his grandsons with their mates with a fun twist. I love this series and hope to see more stories up in the Yukon.
Thank you to Vivian Arend for a free copy to review. I was so excited to read this book and it is all I could hope for!

I love Coopers determination to plan and outplay his grandfather and his life (and mating). Amber is no shrinking violet and goes after what she wants and that is Cooper..all his planning promptly goes out the window. But life is not that simple and an adventure awaits to find Amber family and find the piece that is holding back their bond. I liked the extra adventure and enjoyed the involvement of Cooper’s brothers and their mates along with their friends and other pack members. A great conclusion to an awesome trilogy.

THE BEAR’S FOREVER MATE is the third instalment in Vivian Arend’s contemporary, adult BOREALIS BEARS erotic, paranormal romance series focusing on Borealis polar bear shifter brothers. This is eldest brother Cooper Borealis, and Amber Myawayan’s story line. THE BEAR’S FOREVER MATE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

SOME BACKGROUND: Patriarch Giles Borealis is hoping to hand over the reigns of Borealis Gems to his three grandsons but in an effort to help things along, Giles blackmails his heirs into finding mates, or lose control of Borealis Gems. James, Cooper and Alex have no intention of tying themselves down with one woman but the mating fever is about to take control.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Cooper and Amber) THE BEAR’S FOREVER MATE follows Cooper Borealis as he struggles with the approach of the mating fever. Believing Amber Myawayan is his fated mate Cooper wants to wait a few more years before tying himself down to one woman forever but Amber wants nothing to do with waiting for Cooper to make up his mind, and sets about to seduce the man with whom she is in love. The problem, Amber is human, and Cooper’s ‘bear’ struggles with Amber’s intentions, as she continues to search for her missing brother. What ensues is the friends to lover relationship between Amber and Cooper, as the bears and their mates go in search of Amber’s brother, and the potential fall-out as Cooper’s bear stalls in his attempts to make Amber their mate.

The relationship between Cooper and Amber has been building for a long time but Cooper has a five year plan before he settles down with his fated mate. Hiding away in a cabin the woods, Cooper is surprised when the woman in question arrives with plans of her own. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive without the use of over the top sexually graphic, language and text.

All of the previous couples return including Alex and Lara, James and Kaylee, Giles and Laureen Borealis, as well as several shifters from various packs, towns, and shifter types.

THE BEAR’S FOREVER MATE is a story of family and friendships; acceptance and love. The premise is engaging, entertaining and fun; the romance is flirty and energetic; the characters are colorful and charismatic.
