Baby Got Bear by Milly Taiden

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lucy Benton, daughter of the Pack Benton wolf alpha, knows there’s only one man for her. Beau. He’s gentle and strong, and she just can’t seem to stay away from him. Training horses at his ranch was her way to get his attention, but it’s been two years and nothing has happened between them. What is going on?

Beau Sampson can’t live without Lucy. She’s his fated mate and he doesn’t care that she’s a wolf and he’s a bear. All he knows is that he’s not letting her go. But he’s too shy to give her a reason to stay until she throws the saddle on him. And, oh, what a fantastic bucking ride it is.

The problem is her father, the oldest alpha in the region who will do anything for money and power, just made a deal with the devil—a black magic wolf who’s taken Lucy for his bride. He knows he can break the wild filly of her rowdy spirit. Now the race is on. Lucy must fight to stay alive and pray her bear shows up before she’s bonded into a loveless mating with

The Heroes: Beau Sampson – He is a bear shifter. He knows that Lucy is his mate. She works for him at his ranch. He didn’t care that she was a wolf shifter and he a bear shifter. He knows her father would never agree to the match, but planned to approach him and ask for her hand. Her father, Cleland is the alpha of pack Benton and wanted to keep his wolves pure. So, Cleland denied the match and didn’t care about fated mates.

The heroine: Lucy Benton – she loves horses more than anything so when she showed up at Beau’s ranch and asked for a job, he hired her. He watched her from afar while she worked her days away for two years. It was hard for her to be so close to the man she loved every day and never say anything about it. On the night of her first shift, her father decreed that she would marry an alpha wolf.

The Story: Though most other shifters didn’t agree with Cleland’s ways, they never spoke up. Cleland got rid of anyone who stood up to him, including other pack alphas. He was ruthless and held information over the heads of many of the other council members and was most likely behind some murders as well, including Beau’s parents.

Lucy wanted to declare her independence and wanted to demand her emancipation from pack Benton. She had read pack law and knew that if she turned 30 and was unmated she would be able to. The story was ok, though I wasn’t as interested in the struggle as I probably should have been. I found a thirty-year-old under her father’s thumb to be a bit boring.

This book is told in dual points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Patrick Zeller. He has a deep voice which sounds a bit older than most romantic Heroes, though it works well for a grizzly bear shifter. He does a good job, though I wish this was done in dual or duet narration.
