Bakery owner Becca Weitz logically assumes everyone she meets is fully human. This includes her nephew, Theo. She's raised him since he was young and loves him dearly. When he disappears, she panics.

Into her world comes sexy, larger-than-life Carl Carman. He owns Camp Max where Theo attends. He offers to help her. Little does she know Carl is a bear shifter and Theo is a member of his bear-shifting clan.

Carl swears to help Becca find her nephew and other young missing shifters who are about to experience their first transformations. Becca, however, is suspicious. What's this guy doing here? What connection does he have to Theo's disappearance?

As she becomes more and more difficult, Carl does the only thing he can: kidnap her. Somehow, he has to make her understand the life of a bear shifter. The only way he can do it is to bring her into the fold. He'd have a much easier time if Theo wasn't missing.

As the leader of his clan, Carl is surrounded by enemies. He's learned the hard way that keeping a firm leash on his inner beast is key to survival, though his feelings for Becca test his legendary control.

Kathy Lyons has created a shifter series that all lovers of paranormal romance will want to read. THE BEAR WHO LOVED ME is the first in her Grizzlies Gone Wild series. The other two books are LICENSE TO SHIFT and FOR THE BEAR'S EYES ONLY.

THE BEAR WHO LOVED ME is filled with action and adventure, with a generous amount of romance thrown in. What more could a reader want than hot sexy bear shifters and their thrilling adventures?
