Bearly Rivals

Bears of Southoak, Book 1

By: Kayci Morgan

Narrated by: Gary Bennett

When two rivals fall for the same woman, she must make a choice that will shape the future of their clan.

Bailey has given up on ever finding love. So when her best friend sets her up on a blind date, she’s more than just a little skeptical. But all doubt is pushed aside after she meets Jaxon, a bear shifter who is everything she could ask for - strong, handsome, and kind.

But Jaxon has a rival for leadership of his clan, another bear shifter named Levi who is thrilling and mysterious with an air of danger that draws Bailey in. Levi also becomes a rival for Bailey's affections. She tries to resist him, but the allure is too strong.

Things become even more complicated when she discovers the two of them have a romantic history. With passions on the rise, they find themselves tangled up in a vicious battle for leadership and Bailey. The winner takes all, and the loser gets nothing.

But when Bailey’s heart won’t accept anything less than both of them, what can she do as long as the two remain divided over their past?

This is a stand-alone story with an HEA and MF, MM, and MMF pairings.

Short and steamy

This was a good short and steamy story but I felt it could have been better. Maybe if it was a little longer you would feel a stronger connection between the characters.

Ends with a Twist

Great short listen equally divided between steamy bits and story to balance it out. Agreeing to go on a blind date, Bailey finds herself instantly attracted to her date, Jaxon, who is a bit of an enigma. The date gets off to a bit of a funny and rocky start, but ends well. Then she meets Levi, who sweeps in and complicates matters even more. Torn between her developing affections for both guys, and with the leadership of the clan depending on her choice, Bailey finds herself in an impossible situation. You'll never see the ending coming but it couldn't be a better way to solve the dilemma.
The narrator brought the story to life and did a great job with both the male and female character voices.

Good story

I really enjoyed this story. Jaxon and Levi are bear shifters and rivals for leadership. They meet Bailey and the three of them have a strong attraction to each other. Really liked the twist ending also. The narrator did a good job with the characters.

Why

I previously read book 3 in the series so I'm very biased. Levi is an evil manipulative weakling. Jasmine is a gem. I didn't like Bailey's decision AT ALL. Pick again. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator was good.
