Mating a Grizzly

League of Gallize Shifters, Book 2

By: Dianna Love

Narrated by: Stephen R. Thorne

Mating a Grizzly is book two in the unusual Gallize paranormal shifter romance series by The New York Times best-selling author Dianna Love.

In this friends-to-lovers romance, Justin is an elite black ops warrior on a unique shifter team. He turns into a monster grizzly and rushes into danger without hesitation. But he's having second thoughts on playing bodyguard for a Russian bear shifter princess.

How'd he get stuck guarding a prima donna who will look down her nose at him like the snobs in the bear clan where he grew up? But Elianna turns out to be nothing like he expected. She's strong, pretty, and feels special, like she could be the one. He'll never find out unless he can stop an assassin from killing him and kidnapping her.

Elianna's sexy protector is the soul mate of her dreams, but giving in to the heat simmering between her and Justin can't happen. She struck a deal in Russia to save a child who has no one but her. Justin makes her want things she can't have - like mating - but the deal she made under duress prevents a relationship with him, or she'll lose the little boy who is everything to her. Even so, she will not allow her dark past to kill Justin.

Another great book by Dianna

Love can strike when you least expect it. I love these suspenseful books. They can be read independently but also have great tie ins that make you want to read the others.

Another Fabulous Story with the Perfect Narrator!

Mating a Grizzly is really high up there on my list of favorite Dianna Love books. The push and pull between Ellie and Justin is perfect for their personalities, and their attraction is intense. They spend a lot of time butting heads, but with two strong characters it's much needed.

Originally, I honestly wasn't a fan of Stephen R. Thorne, but I think he's the perfect narrator to tell this story.

Loved It!

This is a great book; this book is the second book in the League of Gallize Shifters series written by Dianna Love. This book has it all suspense, adventure, romance and paranormal. These books keep getting better and better. This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night. The author and the narrator did a great job on this. I really enjoyed listening to it and I am looking forward to the next book in this great series.

Everyone has a soul mate

Elianna was born as an outcast to her mother’s polar bear clan for being of mixed heritage. She was made to feel so inferior that she barely allowed her bear to show herself because of being so ridiculed. Her father was an alpha grizzly that didn’t help or claim her as an offspring which took place during one of his adulterous affairs. It wasn’t until after the death of her mother that Elianna meet her father and negotiated a deal that she thought would allow her and Nico a young boy that she had rescued to live free and un-hunted.
Justin a Gallize shifter from the Boudreaux grizzly bear clan from Louisiana didn’t fare any better growing up He was picked on so ruthlessly growing up since his bear wouldn’t emerge that he left the clan at the age of 18.

Update: I listened to the audio version and still utterly enjoyed this book. The narrator is the same as previous books and goes the growly thing very well.

2nd in the paranormal romance from the League of Gallize Shifters. Can stand alone.

Justin and his bear Herc had no expectation of ever finding a mate. As an elite black ops warrior he protects those he is assigned to with dedication and authority. But his newest charge, Elianna, tries his patience by saying “No” for any request or order he tries to give her.
His new goal: get her to smile.
Elianna has had a difficult life and refuses to be treated like a princess. She finds Justin frustrating and he says the most outrageously silly things. The more time she spends with him, the more she and her bear are intrigued.

This couple was adorable in their attempting to understand each other but getting it wrong for the most part. When they finally talked it out, it was sweet to see their attraction and acceptance growing for each other.
It was amusing that Justin named his bear, even though technically they are one. The name then gave them separate and distinct personalities. Then add Monty to the mix. Humorous.

An intriguing paranormal romance series with enemies, lovers, deep friendships and a fatal mating curse. I look forward to reading more of these shifters finding their mates while defeating the drug runners.
