Bear Claw

By Crissy Smith

Beauty and grace meet muscles and tattoos. When what’s on the outside doesn’t match the inside, sometimes you just trust your instincts.

Jamie Ward is the leader of the Bear Unit for the Shifter Coalition. He uses his big, tough biker appearance to intimidate his suspects. It works for him, except in finding a mate.

A recent resident of Lake Worth, Arizona, Jamie finds himself at the local library where he meets the woman who might just be worth risking everything for, including his heart. If only he could get up the nerve to ask her out.

Brandy Brooks has a secret. She writes erotic romance mysteries under a pen name. Hiding her identity is second nature to her and she enjoys living in the shadows—until a sexy biker starts visiting her place of employment. For once in her life, she wishes to be seen. But Jamie doesn’t appear interested.

The two navigate carefully through the beginnings of a relationship that is interrupted by Jamie’s missing person cases and the threat of war between humans and shifters. They must work together to keep each another safe when their night out literally explodes around them.

Reviews for Bear Claw

[sheila1957 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Jamie is a bear shifter. He comes to the library so he can see and talk with the librarian, Brandy. Brandy is from a wealthy family but is at odds with her family on the shifter registration law that her family supports. She joins with her cousin to fight the enactment of that law. Jamie is also a member of the Coalition, which is a group of shifters trying to protect other shifters. When he finally asks her out, she discovers what he does and he learns she supports shifters. Her family tries to keep her seeing things their way but can they? I enjoyed this book. I liked Jamie and Brandy. They have a lot of chemistry between them and agree on many things. I liked that Brandy worried about Jamie and he her as trouble brewed between the humans and shifters. Her family is a bunch of jerks. My only complaint is that ends on a cliffhanger of the mystery not the romance. I need to read the rest of the series to see who is behind the troubles. I have my suspects but am I right?
