Publisher's Summary

Teddy, who is ironically enough a bear shifter, has finally found her mate. There's one big problem though. He doesn't like what he sees.

Reece never imagined his chosen mate would be a woman with extra curves, but all it takes is one taste to realize the benefits and turn his world upside down.

Their arguments are many, their lust for each other fiery, but while he's ready for the next step, Teddy keeps running. What will it take to win her trust and heart? And an even better question: Will they ever make it to a bed?

Not bad but not great either

Shifter trying to get his skittish mate to give him a chance.
It's hard to shake first impressions and the male protagonist here is a jerk and a half. Later when he's trying to woo his mate I'm totally with her on the not trusting his 180 and not instantly forgiving. I did love that she knew she deserved someone who thought she was amazing inside and out.
I'm not a big fan of the whole I'm saying no but a little insistence and hormones override my decision thing.
I also found the narration a little flat at first but I got used to it and didn't notice after a few chapters. I will say she did a good job of the male voice, which can be a bit of a stumbling block for some female authors.
Overall not bad, I'm always a fan of smexy shifter and Eve Langlais is a favorite of mine but this one is not in to the level of some of her other writing.
I recommend her Welcome to Hell series very highly.

Great Story!

The story itself is great! Teddy is sweet but she definitely is self aware of her weight and looks. especially after being bullied over it. And meeting her mate and having him at first not happy with her looks just reinforces that. However, he learns very quickly that she is beautiful as is. That she is beautiful not just in looks but her heart and soul as well. The narration was ok for me. Sometimes it just seemed a little monotone. All in all, still a good listen!

He wants his Teddy Bear

A trip to a designated bar during the Were-For-All brings Reece face to face with his mate...only problem is, she's not Reece's type. Reece is a tall, fit, alpha wolf, he likes his women tall, blonde and beautiful. But his wolf gets one whiff of his mate and no one else will do.

Teddy is petite, dark haired, and 'chunky', not at all like her sisters. She is at the bar only because she promised her mother she would look after her younger sister who is searching for her mate. Teddy has no interest in marriage or a mate, she doesn't want a mate to tie her down and pop out babies for him. Nope, she likes her life as it is. And when she encounters Reece, she runs.

Snuggle up with His Teddy Bear!

I was already familiar with the incomparable Eve Langlais's work, and was excited to dig in to "His Teddy Bear".
Teddy and Reece are an adorable couple, and their progression from new mates to HEA was a trip to listen to.
As Teddy worked through her insecurities, and Reece learned more about her, they had some real tender moments, in addition to the witty back and forth that first drew me to Langlais's novels. They made a beautiful couple and I can't wait to read another of Langlais's books.

short read

of first I love this author . book was sweet and delt with a girl like me . moves right a long and is very steamy in places

Lots of sex, but almost no plot.

The author used just about as much plot line as a stereotypical porn movie. The book was more loosely woven together sex scenes than a novel with plot or character development. I looked around Pinterest while I listened. I’m pretty sure I didn’t miss anything while reading an article or two.

True mates conquer all.

I will admit that at first glance I did not like Reese i wanted to knock his head off his shoulders. I decided to give the book a chance and I am glad I did because it ended up being amazing and besides the shifter part resonated with real life. Would recommend it to anyone who loves paranormal romance novels hands down.

Who doesn’t love a teddy bear?

A fun story that is amusing, sweet and HOT!! Who wouldn’t want a big, bad wolf to worship them!! Sign me up!

Great romance with a really nice twist

This story brought out the normal people in the story. The everyday looks for heavier women. Then also the everyday working that a man has to do to get the woman he wants.

Loves form is not always the norm

What’s a girl to do when her mate seems disappointed when he sees her and her beautiful curves? Why run of course and also ignore his advances. This story touches bases with a lot of insecurities plus size woman face. It’s beautifully written and it’s also a laugh out loud story with a big sexy alpha who fought to win his Teddy.
