Featured Series - Bear Clan - Jenika Snow


I have a special treat for you guys today.  Especially if you are a fan of super steamy PNR books like me.  As we know, if you don’t then you need to grab up this book series to find out for yourself, Ms Snow is the queen of steamy short stories.  I mean fog up your glasses steamy and so quick that you are at the end before you can even digest what you just read.  Love it!  Her guys are gorgeous alpha males who find that one lady who is meant to be theirs and don’t take no for an answer.  Not that the ladies are complaining, umm hot guy who has his entire focus on you, yeah no complaints here.

Anyway, this series is a shining star in Ms Snow’s crown.  Who doesn’t love a group of brothers who have all but given up on their mates.  You know those elusive ladies that they have saved themselves for.  You heard that right, these guys will not sully themselves with anyone who is not their fated mate.  Yummy!!!  Sigh, if only that were true in the real world.  You are going to fall in love with this family and the ladies who make their souls shine.

Bonus fact!  If you purchase the box set you get a bonus story with an update on the entire clan.  Sweet!  No matter how you decide to add this series to your collection, you are not going to want to miss out on these brothers.  Be sure to let me know what you think of the series.

Happy Reading

The BEARly Controlled Grizzly (Bear Clan, 1)
Published to Amazon on November 13, 2018
Author Jenika Snow
Amazon


That first time I saw her—my mate—I’d been ready to kick some guy’s ass for even looking at her. I made no apologies for my possessive, territorial side. I was a grizzly bear shifter, after all. It was my nature to be over the top.

Bethany hadn’t known what to do at first—being mated to a shifter—one who was grouchy and burly and made no apologies for how rugged he really was. But she wanted me, my sweet little human mate who could have brought a beast like me to my knees with just a look.I’d wanted nothing more than to throw her over my shoulder and take her back to my lair like a caveman.

But I let her take the lead, even if my bear wasn’t happy, even if the alpha in me wanted to have my way with her right then and there.And I would have my way with her. All the ways that counted, in fact.

I’d claim her, mark her, and before it was all said and done, there’d be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Bethany was owned by a grizzly.



Warning: Holy moly, this hero’s crazy for his mate, but who wouldn’t want one OTT alpha bear shifter obsessed with you? This story is sweet and sexy, and oh so very filthy. Of course, you get a happily ever after … and a little somethin’-somethin’ at the end to wrap it up nicely.


Official published review:
Mated to the grizzly
This is a fast, hot, intense, dirty read. Perfect for when you just want to get right to the meat of the story or when you don’t have time to spend on a longer tale. Bethany, a quiet human woman, and Zakari, a growly grizzly shifter, have an instant connection leaving no room for speculation or mistrust. The love they share will last a lifetime. I’m looking forward to reading what fate has in store for the next brother of the bear clan.

BEARly Mated to the Grizzly (Bear Clan, 2)
Published to Amazon on January 8, 2019
Author Jenika Snow
Amazon


I’d once been a great dancer. A ballerina. But an injury ended my career, had me longing to go back in time, had me loathing the city and the very profession I’d once loved.

So, I decided to get away from it all, go out in the middle of nowhere to clear my head, and focus on what was important.

Things were going great until a bear was at my back door, trying to get in. And it ended with me wielding a knife for protection and realizing it wasn’t just any bear, but a shifter who claimed to be my mate.

Maddix.Strong and powerful, his very presence had me questioning my entire existence. The mating was fast and furious, potent and real. It was everything I ever wanted, and everything I never thought I’d have.

It was all wrapped in one whirlwind, insta-lust experience.

But could I give myself over fully to Maddix? Could I truly leave the city and the life I’d always known behind?

Could I do it all for the promise of love from one possessive, territorial bear shifter who would do anything to make me happy?

Because if there was one thing Maddix made very clear, it was now that he had found me, he wasn’t letting me go.


Official published review:
When you hit the bottom
The author gave us the perfect example of how when you’re at your lowest you can still find the sky. This is the perfect second book to the series. We meet another bear brother and get to fall in love with him as he falls in love with his mate. I can’t wait to see which brother finds their mate next.

The BEARly Tamed Grizzly (Bear Clan, 3)
Published to Amazon on March 5, 2019
Author Jenika Snow
Amazon


Oli

I didn’t know her, what she looked like, where she was, but I knew my mate was out there. And it was that truth that had me saving myself for her. Only her. If I couldn’t fully give myself over to my fated mate, what kind of worthy male was I?

But staying in town, hidden deep within the forest, wouldn’t bring my mate to me. I had to go and find her.I had to make her mine.

India

As a former foster child, I never had real family, no roots. I’d always felt like something was missing, so I worked hard on helping others. My mobile medical van was where my passion lay. It’s how I made sure no one else felt helpless.

But when my van was broken into, and my safety compromised, it was a big bear shifting male who came to the rescue.

Oli said I was his. He claimed I was his mate. He seemed certain of it just by looking at me. It was insanity, but I couldn’t deny the pull I felt for him, the way my body craved his.

Pushing him away wasn’t an option, not when he was always there, watching me, making sure I was protected. And it was that need inside of me, the one that grew and consumed me, that finally had me giving in.I soon realized being mated to a bear shifter meant he was grumpy, protective, possessive, and wanted only one thing.

Me.


Official published review:
Searching for his mate
I am so in love with these grizzly brothers. They are all gorgeous, alpha males who turn into butter when they finally find their mates. The author outdid herself with Oli. He is this gentle soul who has saved himself for his mate, luckily for him she saved herself as well. These two come together and find their HEA, making a life they both crave. I can’t wait to read about the rest of the boys.

The BEARly Reluctant Grizzly (Bear Clan, 4)
Published to Amazon on June 18, 2019
Author Jenika Snow
Amazon


Uprooting my life, buying a cabin that was all but falling apart, and moving to the middle of the woods might not have sounded like the best idea, but to me it was almost perfection.

I guess that’s the perks of being an author … packing up and moving to anywhere in the world, because as long as I had a laptop, I was good to go.

What I didn’t expect during this new start was the man I’d hired to renovate my place—Asher, the bear shifting carpenter. He had me feeling things I’d never experienced before; things that excited, but scared, me.

Lust, desire, and all kinds of filth a girl like me probably shouldn’t be thinking about a man I didn’t even know, played on repeat in my head.

But there was more than just arousal where Asher was concerned. I knew it in my heart.

Here I was, in my twenties, never been with a man in any way, and all I could think about were these obscene things that made a certified virgin like me blush.And when Asher showed up on my doorstep during a storm, soaking wet, looking feral, telling me he’d tried to stay away but couldn’t, I knew one thing for certain. These weren’t just idle feelings I was having.

This was what it felt like to be mated.


Official published review:
Restoring his heart
I just love this family of bear shifters! Each brother is more wild and alpha male than the last. The author keeps the stories short and intense, a quick read that sucks you right into the heart, and heat, of the mating. Asher and Ainsley were drawn to each other and the HEA they could only find with their fated mating. I can’t wait to see which brother finds his destiny next!

The BEARly Possessive Grizzly (Bear Clan, 5)
Published to Amazon on October 19, 2019
Author Jenika Snow
Amazon




Cason

I devoted my life to working, building a career and business, making sure I was secure and stable in my life for the sole purpose that I’d find her, that everything would be ready and perfect for her.

My mate.

The one woman who would complete me.

The one woman who was born to be mine alone.

Watching my brothers find their other halves hadn’t been easy, but I knew I would never give up. I couldn’t. My mate would make all the bullshit disappear. She’d make my life have purpose. And that’s the only thing that mattered to a bear shifter. To me.

If there was one thing I knew without a doubt, it was that once I found her, I wouldn’t go easy. I would make her see that, once she was mine, that was it. There was no going back.


Mena

Half bear, half human. That’s what I was.

My human side dominant. No shifting, no primal urge to be in my animal form. But I was okay with that.

I’d grown up with parents who wanted only the best for me, and that meant not being with a shifter, because of the politics that went along with it, because my father was an outcast for loving my mother—a human who wasn’t his fated mate.Love who you want. Thats what they said. Thats what they lived by.

But I needed to find myself, needed to find what I wanted out of life. And so I took an impromptu camping trip. I wanted to get away, to reconnect with my bear side, even if she was buried deep down within my human genetics.

But I wasn’t alone. He found me, this alpha grizzly bear shifter who looked at me like I was the sun he’d been searching for his entire life.

His mate.

Mine, he growled out like the feral animal he was.

And in that moment, I knew there was no going back.




Official published review:
Change on the wind
I just love these bear brothers. The author has once again given us this quick, short story all about an alpha bear and the mate he has been waiting for. This book is proof that when you think all is lost you will finally find what you are looking for. I enjoyed the instant connection, the HEA and the multiple glimpses into the future. I really can’t wait to read about our final bear brother, I really hope he finally finds his own HEA.

A BEARy Happily Ever After (Bear Clan, 6)
Published to Amazon on November 4 ,2019
Author Jenika Snow
Amazon


DAMON

An alpha, bear-shifting virgin who was saving himself for his mate.That’s what I was. And I was fine with that, because saving myself for the one female who was meant to be mine was the only thing I ever wanted. A lone bear without a mate was a depressing thing. And even though I knew she was out there—the other half to my soul—I was beginning to think there was no happily ever after for me.

Until I saw another male lusting after her. There was no way I could control myself. She was mine, and if that meant kicking the ass of the man who wanted her… then so be it.

Rue would be mine.



RUE

It started with a swim in the lake, and then suddenly there was a possessive bear shifter tackling my friend to the ground for touching my hair. It ended with me being pressed up against a tree, staring into the dark eyes of a feral man who claimed I was his mate… that he wouldn’t stop until I was his, until I was marked as his.

And as much as I knew being mated to Damon meant my life would be forever changed, knowing he would never let me go, would scare off any male who even looked in my direction, all I wanted was to be with him.

All I wanted was to wear his mark.


Official published review:
Out of the woods he came
This book is the perfect ending for this series. I didn’t think it was possible, but the author made this book even more intense than the rest. The book has that instant love we crave and, in just a short number of pages, the HEA we always hope for. I especially enjoyed the epilogue, it gave us a little glimpse into the future of this mated couple. I don’t know what it will be, but I’m looking forward to the next book by this author.

A holiday gift 
This author does not disappoint with this adorable bonus scene. We get a glimpse into the future with the brothers and their mates, even after all this time they are still so deeply in love and enjoying being together. Reading about these possessive alpha males will never get old. This might be the conclusion of this series, but I’m sure the author will be bringing us something just as good next. I can’t wait!
