***4 Stars***
After I read the blurb, I basically made grabby hands at this baby ~ okay, I would have anyways considering who the author is, but still ~ because it sounded like it was going to be a whole lot of fun and it was! It was a fun, quick, low on drama but hella smexy read filled with characters I want more of.
I really liked James and Kaylee and their journey from friends to mates was a lot of fun to experience, especially when it came to all that goes on during the mating fever *fans face and grins*. Their friendship was solid, but I loved watching as they both FINALLY dove into something deeper and showed just how well they truly knew who the other was and how open and honest they were about their insecurities, wants and desires.
This was an easy, very character driven read that I absolutely enjoyed. While the romance side was easy, the world is complex and vibrant when it comes to the unique characters that inhabit it. Grandpa Giles is a character and I loved seeing how similar and yet not Alex, Cooper and James were ~ considering they are polar bears. And then there are Lara and Amber, who couldn’t be more different and yet find common ground. So, I’m definitely looking forward to getting my hands on the next two books and getting to spend a lot more time with all of them!

When the 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!
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.
