Description from the publisher:
Introducing an exciting new series by USA Today Bestselling Author Scarlett Grove!
Can a cop and a jewel thief find love on Fate Mountain?

She’s on his radar ...
Jaguar shifter Zoe Bright knows trouble. Growing up, she was the “bad kid” who could never measure up to her bear-shifter brother Corey -- and now she’s in debt to the mob. So the last thing she expects is for Corey’s matchmaking program to pair her up with Fate Mountain’s handsome, hunky chief of police!

He’s on her tail ...
Grizzly shifter Rollo Morris can’t believe his fated mate is almost certainly a jewel thief. Still, he and his bear know that curvy, sassy Zoe belongs to them. Pursuing her is a must … and interrogating her is the naughtiest thing he’s ever done.

And both of them are in the bullseye. 
When the mafia comes after Zoe, will she trust Rollo with her secrets? And even if she does, can he and the Bear Patrol find a way to solve the case and keep her safe?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Commander Bear is the first in the new Bear Patrol series, which is heavily tied to the Rescue Bears series.  Both series are set in and around Fate Mountain.

I have not read any of the previous Fate Mountain based books and I can tell you without a doubt that I was not lost.  On the other hand, I am now itching to search my TBR files to see which of these I have and which I need to download and get to reading!

Zoe is full of sass and class.  I loved her from the opening, even if she was the bad girl.  I kept expecting Rollo to start singing “Soft kitty, warm kitty, …,” but I loved his referring to Zoe as his little kitty right from the start.  It was endearing.

In an unexpectedly delightful departure from the usual in this genre, both the h and H are shifters, though of different animals.  Zoe fought the connection less than our more common human types, but the connection was recognized and appreciated more quickly and more deeply for what it was.

Scarlett Grove never fails to provide a story that will refresh my love for reading.  I look forward to reading many more of her sexy and sweet shifters.
