Morgan Clan Bears #2
Mating Instinct
Ada Carlisle never knew anything outside the gates of her clan, but she isn’t oblivious to why the men were there to touch her. When she is put up for sale to the highest bidder, she flees her home clan for a chance at survival. After traveling for weeks, her bear calls to build a den for the winter months. Once spring arrives, she wakes scared and alone on the land of three male grizzlies.
The spring mating season comes with the discovery of a female bear shifter on the Morgan’s land. Rex Morgan knows immediately Ada Carlisle is to be his mate, but she’s too weak to complete the mating. When it is revealed her clan intended to sell her to a male in Montana, the Morgan brothers vow to take down the leader of the O’Kelly clan and bring justice to the male who paid for her hand.

Whenever I browse my bookshelves I was always drawn to read books of TH especially the pride series. And when the grizzly bear series arrived I am also drawn to it.
Admittedly, the writing falls to my average rating. It has no special story rather than it's a shifter story. But what made this books special to me is that it always targeted the core of why we live and why we continue to live, and that is family. And that deserves an oustanding review. (4stars).
It's recommendable. Maybe less description in some parts for the next book if possible. It's a standalone but it's better to read the first book.
Somewhere out there, there will be someone right for you. All you have to do is to sniff, maybe he's around the corner waiting for you. Or just maybe mother nature will come interfering for you. 😉
Nice hearing from you again TH. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing you Booth in May. 😀

Boy bear meets girl bear and baby bear ensues. Was that a spoiler?!

Another awesome book from this author and just like all her others I loved it. I am loving this series so far and I can't wait for more of the Morgan Clan. I highly recommend this book and series. This is Ada and Rex's story.
Rex and his brothers have come out of their hibernation and are now prepping the land for their crops. When Rex and Gunner are walking around the land, they come upon a scent of another bear but what they find when she shifts is shocking. When he sees Ada for the first time he knows she is to become his mate.
Ada ran from her clan as they were about to sell her to another shifter to be mated to him, but she fled before this could happen.
They have a lot to overcome before they mate though. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

This is the second book in this series and I think you should read them in order. I was super excited to read this book and I wasn’t disappointed. I love these bears. This is shaping up to be a fantastic series and I am hooked already. Ever since his brother Drake found his mate last mating season Rex wants to find his mate even more. He can’t wait to have to what his brother has. He never imagined finding his mate the way he does. Ada ran from her clan. She was sold to the highest bidder and feared for her life. Rex knows he can’t touch her right away. They both know they are mates right away. Rex will help her heal from what happened her and cherish her as a female should be. It won’t be as easy as he wants it to be though. There is more going on and more people in danger. Will Rex and his brothers be able to help them or have they found more danger than they can handle? I can’t wait for the next book in this series. This book was an emotional rollercoaster. Ada has been through so much and is naïve in a lot of ways. She has lots to learn and Rex wants to be right by her side helping her discover everything. I liked that the panthers made an appearance in this book. I can’t wait to see how these two groups work together in the future. Congrats on another fantastic book Theresa.

Great book really good read
Wow loved this book a beautiful story of a girl Ada who ran away from her clan 2 weeks before Christmas but her bear making her build a den for the winter. The Morgan brothers had come out of hibernation and doing the rounds of their land when they come across a unknown smell. They find Ada in bear form but when asked to back to human she was skin and bone. They take her back to look after her the younger brother Gunnar carried her back Rex couldn’t as she is his mate but with her being so thin it wasn’t right to touch her and mate her. Ada gains strength and ends up mating with Rex they also go and rescue Anna Claire from the clan Ada was at however Anna Claire is in a bad way after being strung up between two trees and slashed at but a collar was put around her neck to stop her from changing to her bear form to heal. Ada is mortified but pleased to see Anna Claire again. Revenge is plotted to be taken against the other clan but to rescue the elders that are there. All things go to plan and the Morgan’s family/clan get bigger as all homed on their land and Ada and Rex get some happy news. I hope another book is written that tells the story about Anna Claire who was rescued and Gunnar who is her mate but again she is in no fit state for her to mate.

Another GREAT read by Theresa Hissong!!
I LOVE everything about these bears, their mates and the entire Morgan Clan! You can't help but love the Morgan brothers and the pure love they show their mates in EVERYTHING that they do and say. Rex Morgan comes across a female werebear, Ada that's hiding out on his family's property and she is nothing but skin and bones. He immediately feels protective of her and takes her to his family's home to give her food, warmth, comfort and love. Ada is immediately accepted by Rex's brothers, Drake and Gunnar, as well as Drake's mate, Tessa and what Ada gives to Rex and the Morgan Clan is something that they haven't had in a very long time and deep down have missed terribly and that's a family. A home filled with love, cubs and a purpose. Ada needs Rex and his family, just as much as Rex and his brother's need hers. Less Robert a horrible man, who took over the clan and is the main reason why she fled. This is such a GREAT story and I don't want to give away spoilers so believe me when I say, you want to read this book for yourself! I'm already looking forward to the next book!

Such a good story line. Some of the issues the females had, I felt like once the topic was brought up then that was it, to the issue. Maybe thats all that was needing being they were shifters? I felt some of the book was over detailed. I just didnt see the need to explain certain things as they were not key to the story. It gave a picture of what they were doing or what things looked like, but it wasnt necessary IMO to certain parts because the scene wasnt on the edge of your set you needed to know it, IMO dragged out the story. For the last brother his mate I think could have used a different book it was a small part that it seemed for him it wasnt that imporant. IMO it was just trying to wrap up this series faster.

The story of Ada and Rex really captivated me. Ada was also a bear shifter who lived with an abusive family unit. Her father tried to sell her off to another shifter male and she managed to escape. Rex and his brother discover her near death after hibernating on their property. Rex knows who Ada is to him. But patiently waits for her to heal. It is really a beautiful sexy love story that gives more insight into the customs and traditions of the Morgan Clan. I can't wait to see what happens with the new clan members and the ending scene has me seeing the sheriff in a whole new light. If you love shifter novels then you won't regret picking this one up and reading the whole series so far!!

This is Book 2 in the Morgan Clan Bears and it was fantastic. It can be read as a stand-alone book, but I highly recommend you reading the first book, too. Rex is ready to find his mate. When he finds Ada hiding in the woods, his bear starts acting strange. Ada ran from her clan when she is put up for sale to the highest bidder. Now she’s been found trespassing on the bears’ land. Wow! There are some exciting things happening in this book. The stuff that happens to Ada will get you in the gut because you never imagine things happening like that in the “normal” world. The world of the shifter is definitely different. I love the author’s Pride series, but the Bear series is quickly becoming my favorite! Now I have to wait a while to get the next book.

Morgan Clan is back with Rex's story. So after Drake found his mate during the previous mating season, after Rex sees how happy Drake is, he is hoping that he will find his mate with this coming season. So when Gunnar and Rex go and check the perimeter they scent something and it stirs something in Rex. Now we meet Ada and let me say this book will hit you in the feels when you find out what she has been through. They rescue her and take her back to the house to help her. Ada knows that Rex is her mate but not ready to take that step. She doesn't want to put the Morgan Clan in any harm but Rex is not having it. He is determined to keep her safe. Ada is running from the leader of her pack. Here we learn about the hierarchy of the grizzlies which is different than all the other shifters. Can Rex keep her safe? Will she end up in the wrong hands again? This book will bring you tears so be prepared but we definitely get a happily ever after.

Spring is here 🐻❣️
The second book for our Morgan clan bears is here! It’s bigger, better and more explosive than ever😍
Rex and his brothers have come out of their hibernation and are now prepping the land for their crops. When walking around the land, they come upon a scent of another bear...what they find when she shifts is shocking! Ada ran from her clan as they were about to sell her to another shifter to be mates with them, but she fled before this could happen. However, she did have enough nourishment before her hibernation and is literally a living skeleton😢
Loved this story and can’t wait for Gunnar to finally claim his mate😍

Action Packed Romance.
Second book in the Morgan Clan Bears series. Poor Ads was sold to the highest by her clan leader. She ran away before they could turn her over. She found a place to hibernate on the Morgan Clan property. In the spring, Gunner and Rex find her in a near starvation state. Rex realized she is his mate. But she is too week and vulnerable, she needs time. The Morgan Clan won't take this Bear slavery lightly. They are going to take care of Ada in any way needed. This book is action packed. Rex is very romantic. If you're looking for a wonderful story, yet your copy today and start reading! From a True Fan... Pam James

I like the Morgan Clan, this book feeds my love of Bear shifters. Rex had looked for a mate in the previous mating season, but he didn't find his one. Even though he was happy for his brother Drake who found Tessa and was now a father of a little girl cub, but Rex wanted a mate too. He was hoping that he would be able to find the other part of his soul. He didn't expect to find his mate hibernating on the Morgan Clan farm. Ada was running from a forced mating, fearing for her saftey and hopes to find a safe place and people that will help her. Great read I love the Morgan Clan and that they have learned opening their family makes them stronger.

More Baddies!
Ada is on the run from her clan of bears as 3 members sold her to the highest bidder. She winds up hibernating on the Morgan’s farm after climbing their fence.
Rex, the middle brother goes outside with his other brothers to make sure that no one was trespassing on their land when he started to smell roses. & the farmer in him knew they shouldn’t be blooming this time of the year. When he found the rose smell he also found much more.
To find out what Rex found & if Ada ever feels safe you’ll have to read the book. This series is just as good as the Rise of the Pride series.

I love the bears. I love how they find th hieir mate and want to just care for them.
Add a hunky bear to a mate that has gone through enough to leave her a bit broken and you have a story that will leave you with a wonderful HEA. And just like the technique that the Japanese use to fix broken China with gold. The broken can yield great beauty.

Ada and Rex have instant and amazing chemistry. The two of them together are hot hot hot! Who doesn't want to have a protective strong man take care of their needs. Then to have three make grizzlies?! I really couldn't get enough of their charm and charisma! I love TH books and this one is no different! I can't wait to see where else this series goes!

I loved this story so much. Rex and Ada were great together, though she was a little hyper at times. But he found his HEA. I was also glad to see Gunnar meet his mate. The O’Kelly idiot finally got his. Selling Ada and his own daughter. Too bad the series is ending. I’d love to see what happens with Gaia and Garrett...

The Morgan Clan was filled with surprises is Book2 Mating Instinct. I do t like to give away details of the book, however I will tell you to buy all three books of the series at one time because you are going to read one right after the other. You become invested in the the lives of the characters and you do t want the book to end.
Highly recommend!

Trust me when I say read the series you will be glad you did!🙂

Never disappointed!
Back to the Morgan Clan in book 2 is just as fulfilling as the first. We get to see more of our favorite characters and meet new ones. Family dynamics, action, and passion are written throughout the story. A great set up for the next in the series. Must read!

Thoroughly enjoyed
As usual Theresa Hissong has delivered a book i could not put down. I so enjoyed from the first sentence to the last word. If you enjoy shifter stories then check out her other books first as i recommend you read from book 1.

Wonderful!!!
Theresa has done it again!! I've been a huge fan of her panther series, and these bears have gotten a spot close to my heart as well! I cannot wait for the next book in each series - this is a must read!

This was action packed and had some wonderful moments and I just loved Rex and his mates story. There were hints in here of some things with the two watching over the bears and panthers that I hope we see more of in the future... (hint.. hint.. Theresa)

I liked this second book much better then the first. Rex just doing his rounds to check the land after the winter. Finding Ada in a hand made den. She was on the run from her clan. These two went through so much. I can't wait to read about Gunner and his mate.

It should be 1 star for the quality of the writing, but gets a second one for the sheer guilty pleasure of a trashy paranormal romance fic, and another for the actual effort into making the shifter magic and world consistent. But the writing really is bad, so be prepared for that.
June 19, 2021
This is a great bear shifter series. Shows close family w the ability to grow, w love. Finding a true mate must be the best feeling. If there have been difficulties in the past or even currently, sometimes time is required. But the love? Oh, yes! Worth everything! 😍

She did it again.
Fantastic read once again.
I was shocked when reading how these two characters came together, you just never know where an author's head is at lol.
This book was great, I love the change to the Morgan Clam
