Description from the publisher:

A bad bear …
Shane Keenan has survived everything life’s thrown at him.  Growing up with an abusive stepfather who broke his bear’s mind left Shane unable to fully control his shifts.  He went from famous chef to being forced to fight in a human war because of the wild bear inside him.

Now he’s finally back home on Fate Mountain -- and his toughest challenge yet is waiting.

Bruised hearts ...
Lily Mason has her own scars from growing up with an alcoholic mother.  She’s loved Shane for years, and when a human/shifter dating site pairs them, she finally tells Shane the shocking truth about their last night together.

Shane can’t risk being around Lily or her son Theo, not when he can’t control his bear.  But Lily knows she and Shane are true mates -- and she’s tired of waiting for him to claim her.

Fateful choices
When Theo runs away, Shane knows he’ll do anything to bring him back.  Can he find a way to heal his bear, save the child … and persuade his mate to give him another chance?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WILD BEAR is the second book in the Rescue Bears series.  Each could stand on its own, but even better when read as a series and in conjunction with the rest of the Fate Mountain series.

I love the simple, sweet love that shines through in this story.  It doesn’t matter how much life tries to break you, if you allow love to lead, then it can all get better.  The story is emotion filled.  How can it not be, when the two main characters come from backgrounds filled with abuse, but together they are able to claim their fated-mates – each other.

Every time I have a break in my scheduled reading, I grab a book from Scarlett Grove.  These are my relaxing time choices.
