The Bear's Chosen Mate The Bear's Chosen Mate

Publisher Description

The stand alone first title in a brand-new shifter trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend.


Get mated—or else!

When their meddling, match-making family patriarch lays down the law, Giles Borealis’ three polar bear shifter grandsons agree to follow his edict. Only James, Alex and Cooper each have a vastly different plan in mind to deal with their impending mating fevers. Will any of them be able to fight fate?

Spoiler: not likely!

First up: James, the youngest of the brothers….

He’s going to accept his fate—but only with the woman he chooses!




Youngest brother James Borealis figures if he has to get mated, it should be with someone he already knows and cares about—his best friend Kaylee. But when the mating fever hits, she’s still stuck in friendshipland while he’s ready to move all the way to true love and forever.


Kaylee has heard about polar bear mating fever, but while James has held the starring role in her fantasies for a long time, she’s not about to leap into a permanent relationship that’s all wrong for him. He’s the PR powerhouse for Borealis Gems while she’s a quiet bobcat shifter with massive family baggage. He loves the spotlight; she wants to hide in quiet corners.


But mating fever knows best, and when the storm settles, there’s no use in arguing with a polar bear’s choice.

The Bear’s Chosen Mate

Humor and sex are the strengths of this book and the female protagonists are interesting. However, there are several typos throughout, and I dislike perpetuating the idea that grandparents get a say in their grandchildrens’ choice to partner, have kids, or otherwise and wish he didn’t get to be smug in the end.

I didn’t really get James’ mom scolding him for behaving like an elephant. They’re most commonly known for their gentleness and intellect, and in many cultures symbolize strength and wisdom.

There’s also a couple moments of questionable consent when Kaylee clearly tells James he needs to stop, but he grinds into her anyway.

It’s also unclear if all humans know about shifters or just Amber, which would drastically change the feel of James’ auditorium speech about his “mate” and all the careless shifting and whatnot. In general a little more world building would go a long way.

I was actually disappointed Kaylee took the wind out of James’ character development by instantly reversing his decision to resign.
