Glory Walsh has a problem, well really a couple of them.
She has a fear of abandonment that gives her panic attacks
and one very sexy bear shifter who wants to be her mate.
The second problem isn't so bad and a big part of her wants
to see him BEAR NAKED, but he once left her when he should
have been by her side.
Ryan Williams is Glory's mate, and he did leave her once.
She was in the hospital, having been shot; the staff
wouldn't let him stay with her so he took off to find the
shooter. That done, he immediately returned but try to get
that through her thick blue-haired head. He finally
wrangles a date from her, but things get really bizarre when
she thanks him for the gifts he had been sending her. This
turns out to be a big problem. He hadn't been sending
gifts, and his jealous bear wants to know who would dare
send things to his mate.
Before long, Glory's past is coming back to bite her, and
Ryan isn't going to put up with that. Their lives are about
to get really strange and very frightening.
BEAR NAKED is an amazing story with a lot of deeply
emotional drama and some much needed laughter and lots of
love. As you read you will find this storyline filled with
a number of circumstances that could, unfortunately, come
straight from newspaper headlines. Author Dana Marie
Bell handles all the situations as only a romance writer
can. With a little paranormal twist, she shows that love and
support will conquer everything that is thrown at you, even
an evil werewolf. I found Glory and her friends Cyn and
Tammy to be just what friends should be; there for each
other and protective as if they were kin. Ryan is adorable
as he tries to maneuver Glory into being his mate without
going overly macho, something hard for a grizzly, but he
manages, most of the time. This is a fantastic read, and I
cannot wait for more.
Just a small warning...if you have not read the other two
books of the Halle Shifters by Ms. Bell, you might be
a little confused by how all the characters are connected,
but that will not affect the pure enjoyment of BEAR NAKED.
To win a frightened heart, you have to bare your own.
Any woman would be eager to be Ryan Williams’s mate. Any
woman but Glory Walsh. The sexy bear shifter is beautiful,
strong and persistent, she’ll give him that. But Glory’s
past taught her one simple truth: people leave. She can’t
get past the fact he left her once before. Okay, so he had a
good reason, and he did come back. Try convincing her
emotions.
When Glory finally agrees to a date, Ryan feels like
shouting hallelujah. He only left his mate to hunt down the
man who’d shot her, but convincing the stubborn woman she
has a permanent place at his side is tougher than he
thought.
Their date takes a turn for the bizarre when Glory thanks
Ryan for the series of romantic gifts—gifts Ryan never sent.
It seems her past is coming back to bite her, and before it
has a chance to sink its teeth in and tear her out of his
life, Ryan will have to bare it all, right down to his soul,
to protect the woman he loves. Even from herself.
