1 - THE BEAR’S CHOSEN MATE
AUDIBLE

Once again Tatiana, the narrator, makes listening an enjoyable experience and enhances these great stories.
Makes doing chores around the house flash past and relaxing a pleasure.
BOOK REVIEW
A lovely and enjoyable read about three shifter brothers, whose grandfather decides to meddle in their lives by forcing them to seek mates.
Though this plot has been done before, this differs in that these men are polar bears and go into mating fever once a year which makes their grandfathers timeline a bit difficult.
James and Kaylee have been best friends for years but have never moved forward from that position even though both have feelings of wanting more.
James decides Kaylee will be his mate instead of fate deciding.
Kaylee believes she is not good enough for James and would not be able to support him as the public face of Borealis Gems.
But when the mating fever, a storm and a lightning strike combine, decisions must be made as to what will happen between them.
Really enjoyed the internal dialogues, found them both humorous and snarky, between James and his bear and Kaylee and her mountain lion.
A thoroughly enjoyable read with characters you feel invested in and barrack for.
The next book with Alex and Lara has already grabbed my interest. Then we will have Cooper and his HEA.
This is my honest review of this book which I have since bought.
2 - THE BEAR’S FATED MATE
AUDIBLE
Enjoyable and fun to listen to.
Once again Tatiana, the narrator, makes listening an enjoyable experience and enhances these great stories. Her portrayal of Alex’s bear was funny.
Makes doing chores around the house flash past and relaxing a pleasure.
BOOK REVIEW
Two potential adversaries become true mates.
Ms Arend has once again written a series that is a keeper.
The second brother Alex and the wonderfully competent Lara are manipulated by the canny gramps.
Such a good fun read and though there is plenty of sex, it is not overpowering the story to the exclusion of the likeable characters and the humour.
I kept chuckling at Alex’s bears’ attitude and smart comments. Such a clever bear knowing what was happening and pushing Alex.
I did feel sorry for Lara’s wolf, pinning for her mate all that time but the ending was great, with Alex coming to the right conclusion by himself.
The reasoning behind the takeover rumours was well played out.
OMG. The teddy song scene in the Sirius Trouble bar was just hilarious. I would pay to see that. LOL.
This is my honest review of this book which I have since bought.
3 - THE BEAR’S FOREVER MATE
AUDIBLE
Enjoyable and fun to listen to.
Cooper’s bear steals the story in audible.
Once again Tatiana, the narrator, makes listening an enjoyable experience and enhances these great stories.
Makes doing chores around the house flash past and relaxing a pleasure.
BOOK REVIEW
Such an entertaining read.
A nice conclusion to the tale of three brothers manipulated into mating by their interfering grandfather.
The dialogue between Cooper and his bear had me in stitches. And how the communication worked between Amber and his bear was wonderfully clever.
Poor Cooper and his five-year plan, just didn’t work out as his OCD list making lifestyle expected.
He was very lucky that Amber wanted him so much, any other woman would have given up.
I didn’t feel as much connection or spark between these two H’s as I did the previous two couples but it still worked very well due to Amber and Cooper having known and worked together for a couple of years.
Really enjoyed travelling through the wilds of Alaska as Amber tracked down her missing brother. The dog sled trekking idea and laughed out loud at Dixon’s antics.
Loved the ending, so entertaining and a great surprise.
This is my honest review of this book which I have since bought.

Highly recommend this for adults.

Great stories. Wonderful performance. Could do with a little less sex, but still very enjoyable.

fabulous

I would recommend buying this as a set because each story goes together and it doesn't breakup. it is a wonderful story. it is a great romance. Vivian does an awesome job like with all her books but I will have to say so far this my favorite shifter series.

Grandparent Meddling

I kinda like these big, clumsy polar bear shifters. The stories are entertaining while also bringing plenty of sizzle. Reading in order is recommended.

The narrator is Tatiana Sokolov. She consistently does a good job narrating, and I enjoyed listening.

Story: 4-4.5 stars
Narration: 4 stars
Listening Speed: 1.8x

Just fantastic.

This was a brilliant box set of three polar bear brother Shifters and how
they found their true life mates.
Each book is set around a different brother and the journey they took to
there get there happy forever after.
The chemistry is great between each couple and the relationship between
the brothers is very strong.
The narrator like usual has done a brilliant job .
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this audio book.

Loved this! Great collection!

I really enjoyed this collection! I loved having all 3 brothers' stories together and able to jump from one into the next. We get to know and see all of the brothers throughout the series and so we get to know things about them ahead of time as well as get catch ups for how they are doing afterwards. These stories were all entertaining and I loved how the stories were different as they all had different personalities so things played out differently. The Borealis boys are all handed a challenge/ultimatum by their grandfather that they are not to avoid and ignore their mating fever anymore and have to actually try to find a mate and give it a chance this year otherwise he will get rid of the company, to their competitors on top of it, and not pass it on to them. This was highly entertaining and interesting watching the different ways this played out with the brothers and how they all planned to potentially get by with doing bare minimum to satisfy their grandfather without actually getting locked in for mates. I also loved how that all adjusted and changed as circumstances lined themselves up. There was plenty of action and antics in all of the books and throughout the series to grab and hold a readers attention the entire time. It was highly entertaining and I definitely laughed out loud throughout the series. I loved the bear personalities that we got to see as well and how they interacted with both their human counterpart and their mate. This was really cute and I would highly recommend reading.
The narrator did a fantastic job with all the different voices and personalities and really bringing the story to life throughout the series. It really added to it.
