Extremely safe with condoms! *phew*
What I found with Zoe Chant is that her heroines are pretty active and bold.
This one takes a peek on our hunky billionaire having a naked swim and doesn't freak out or runs to the nearest church to repent for her sins!
It wasn't intentional, she won't do it again, BUT did she enjoy the view? HELL YEAH!
Not a virgin.
However, my only problem, never had an orgasm that wasnt given by her BOB before hero. However, the story was so sweet, that little issue was forgiven.
Her ex was a conman, so I would have thought he would have invested MORE on gaining her sympathy but hey what would I know?
Now the hero. He was what dreams are made of!
I need a guy like that ASAP, may be minus the bear part, and he doesn't have to be a billionaire! Because this guy was caring. Not a caveman.
I think Zoe's bears are all Betas with protective streak if that's even a thing. He was just so conflicted. He wanted to please her at any cost and also wanted to come clean but didn't know how to. It was like his whole existence was about her and she can do whatever she wants.
Not like the other alpha heroes where we usually see the first signs of possessiveness, then jealousy and then they usually tell the heroine what they can or can't do.
So I'm guessing these heroes are definitely Beta, with solid head on their shoulders, ready to die for their mates, would change THEIR whole life for their mates, but the mates can choose to do whatever the shit they want, it might just get a little messy if they do insist they'd be exotic dancers, but whatever!
I now also want a honey cake!
Off I go and bake some , ppl in Melb shoot me a msg, I'll send you some!

A Quick and SAFE Read.
It was SWEET but the ending was abrupt. I was expecting a cute Epilogue.

Cute short story of a lonely bear thinking he will never have a mate but when a curvy girl gives him a honey cake, he know he should get to know her better. I liked this book because the poor guy had a nasty ex fiance who said nasty things to him which made him become lonely.

I am binge reading and have quite a few of Zoe Chant's books that I had one-clicked and wanted to read, but would always have something else come up. I have to say. TAKE THE TIME AND READ ALL OF HER BOOKS!! They are each unique, some follow a specific group, but each can stand alone and have a happy ending. They are feel good and quick reads! I absolutely love all her books I have read! And they never leave you feeling like your missing something at the end.

3.5 Stars!!
I enjoyed this one, though again too short for it to be the well developed story it could have been. All happens super, super fast and I really wish this author would further evolve her stories into longer books, I feel she would become a 1-click author for me if she did.
Overall likable H/h with a insta-love relationship, a little drama and a HEA. A nice way to fill a little time.

Honey, You Gotta Read This Book!!
I love this book! I’ve read it multiple times cuz it really is that good! Zoe Chant is one of my favorite paranormal romance authors. I’ve loved every book of hers I’ve read and I’ve read quite a few. There are still plenty more for me to read which, of course, makes me very happy!

The rejection of one right into the arms of acceptance and love of another for who you truly are unconditionally.

This was a sweet story. I liked Isabella and her aunt. This could have been longer but only because I liked it so much.

Isabella is on her way to her aunt's bee farm. She is grateful she has her aunt that is willing to help her. He ex boyfriend was a can man, wiped out all of her money, and caused her to be fired. Her aunt is taking a much needed vacation while Isabella tends to the bees, the weekly market, and a weekly delivery to reclusive billionaire Ryan. Ryan is hiding in his mansion to heal from his broken heart. His ex was not what she made herself out to be and hurt him deeply. He encounters Isabella and his bear is drawn to her.

Sweet redemption in a nicely told story!
Isabella and Ryan are two broken individuals who just want to get their lives back after major betrayals. The characters are very nicely depicted and the story action is smooth. The things that broke them come back to mess with them and they have to decide to come to terms with everything that has happened to them. The sensuality in the story is sweetly described and the developing relationship is tested. Overall, this is a very sweet story about pain and redemption and finding the courage to move on. I loved this story! Zoe Chant is a genius, read this story!

Honey could you pass me the honey my honeybee please
This was a really good book. It took my breath away. I love the way these two loved each other and how the both dealt with their exes. Bethany was a witch and Bella showing how she won the heart of her bear hands down was like icing on the cake or should I say honey drizzle down a slice. Ryan was the honey I would love in my Earl Grey tea or on me, in me , around me...love, love, love this story.

Very Good!
Both Ryan & Isabella have been hurt by love but they come together after he scares her in bear form (as she didn't know it was him at the time) & she comes across him in human form after she was hurt. They immediately hit it off & his bear side really likes her; but both of the people that broke their hearts show up & interrupt their time but all isn't lost. However to find out what happens next you'll have to read the book. This book was very good but short.

Bear shifter standalone read.
Kindle Unlimited book. No cliffhanger. Short read. Both have bad experiences and nasty exs. When she's threatened, his bear comes to the rescue. Will she accept him as he has her?

Zoe always delivers!
Her books make me smile, laugh, get angry and most especially, dream. If offered the opportunity to live in her world I would jump right in. Until then, luckily, I have her books. Oh, and yes, I enjoyed the book!

3.5 stars. A lovely sweet read with two nice main characters. Loved how Isabella was with Ryan’s bear, very sweet.
Just felt unfinished to me due to the ex wife. They will never be clear of her. I just want to know why Bethany got away with being a conniving biarch when Greg was dealt with.
Pity.

Nothing to be excited about
I guess that was a run of the mill type of story ,meaning these stories don't have much of a background other than wonder sex!

What a romantic story. If only love can be so strong and fast in real life. I really enjoyed how the exes were dealt with in the story.
