***4 Stars***
This was a quick, fun read and while I’m sad that this is the last in the series, I loved the way everything ended up for the Borealis clan.
Amber is all kinds of awesome. She’s had an interesting life, one filled with ups and downs that have shaped her, but she’s persevered and is living her best life possible. Cooper is all about his family and their company. He’ll do anything for them ~ well, almost ~ but he’s also all about his ‘lists’ obsessively (and kind of irritatingly) so, but his heart is in the right place.
Cooper and Amber’s journey to their HEA was a fun one, especially since Cooper the adorable polar bear puts his paw into the mix. I loved their bantering and how Amber constantly kept Cooper on his toes, while he in turn became even more enamored of the woman. Their bump in the road was an interesting one, but made sense in the context of what a mating is and I really enjoyed how it all worked out in the end.
The Bear’s Forever Mate was a great addition to the series. I loved catching up with Alex, Lara, James and Kaylee and the ever interfering Grandfather Giles and finally getting to spend some quality time Grandmother Laureen. I’m also crossing my toes that we’ll get to spend some time with the wolf shifters ~ especially Dixon ~ and some of the other shifters we got to meet along the way. As for the ending/epilogue...I have to say it was perfect, especially when it comes to the Borealis family.

He’s got the perfect mate in mind, for five years from now…
Cooper Borealis is fully on board with the concept of fated mates. Except mating the woman he wants—his tempting, complicated, human secretary—is not an option. Or not yet anyway. So he’ll use a loophole to keep the vow he made to his brothers, mating fever be damned. He’ll be with Amber Myawayan at the place and time of his choosing.
Amber has spent the past two years in the north looking for her missing brother—and falling in love with the big, growly polar bear at the helm of Borealis Gems. More than once, she’s caught him looking at her with hungry shifter eyes. But getting him to admit it? Ha! Luckily, mating fever is a thing, and she’s happy to get involved as nature forces the issue to the forefront.
But when their mating bond is unexpectedly blocked, Amber and Cooper find themselves in a race against time. She needs to track down her brother while somehow proving she’s tough enough to be with her favourite bear. And Cooper plans to protect her at all costs, even if it means secretly stifling his stubborn shifter side.
Somewhere in the wilderness, they’ll find the answer…or lose their chance at forever.
