Bears of Oregon #1

House of Bears

Rate this book
This is the first book in the Bears of Oregon series.

From struggling to even find a match on Tinder to suddenly being desired by four muscle-bound werebears.

Life just got very interesting for Holly Smart . . .

So it all began when I inherited a house in Oregon from a grandmother I barely knew.

This was strange enough on its own.

But little did I know the house came bundled with a bunch of hunky men -- who not only refused to leave -- but insisted I live with them . . .

Oh, and they were all -- shapeshifting WereBears!

They said, it was my “destiny” to bear a child with one of them -- and bring everlasting peace to all of the bear clans in the world.

Sounds crazy right?

Yet here I am agreeing to it -- as there is something about these men -- that is just drawing me in.

Anyway, strap yourself in as this is where one hell of a freakin’ story begins . . .

If you like authors such as Lynsay Sands, Karen Marie Moning or Deborah Harkness and also TV shows like Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Twilight or anything that is steamy and paranormal then you will LOVE this!

Note: As with all Amy Star* works, due to mature themes, language, and explicit sexual content, this book is intended for readers aged 18+.

it’s like washing your hands after digging in dirt all day.

I’m not sure how we ended the last collection as a raging dumpster fire and transcended into this, but here we are. Tons of witty, highlight worthy one liners, and I think I only saw “wry” used once. I’m praying this collection doesn’t dissolve into a puddle of grammatical suck, because so far I’m excited!

Another no from me. Looks like im in a slump with books. 3 in a row I just cant get in to.
Just feels to forced to be any real feelings. I need to feel the connection between the MC to really get into the story but Ive met 3 maybe 4 of the love interest and all feel forced and fake.
Will try another serie by this author

I adore this series but when I got to the bear shifters I took a break. I'm sorry I did. They end in cliff hangers and all I want to do is rush onto the next book.

Why is it when a co-author is added the quality of the writing drops?

Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and raw passion, strength, happiness with a happily ever after. Erotic was a major turn on. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

One of her grandmother’s intentions being that Holly spends time with each of them, getting to know them better. She is destined to marry one of the firstborns, but nobody knows who. There is a battle going on behind the scenes and that is how Holly first stumbles on the existence of bear shifters and that she’s living with three of them! As the first book in this series, the story is well planned and set out. It’s entertaining and enjoyable with all the characters that Holly interacts with being interesting in their own way. The chemistry between each of the men is undeniable.The book ends on an excellent cliffhanger. Loved it!

Holly gets a letter about her grandmother that changes everything for her. When she arrives at her grandmother's house she finds it has four men living in it. They refuse to leave and instead inform her of her destiny to be theirs and have a child with one of them. They need her help or they will lose their human forms. Will Holly help them and have their child? What will happen if she doesn't agree? Can they all find a happy ending together?

This is an amazing story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This is the first book in this Bears Of Oregon series. What a start to this series. You are pulled in right away with the adventure of Holly and her sexy bear shifter men. The story is full of emotions, suspense, secrets, a prophecy and much more. This book will leave on a cliff hanger, and it will leave you wanting more. I can't wait for part two to find out what happens with Holly, Johnny, Keller, Garrett and Trevor. The characters have amazing chemistry and I can't wait to see where they end up.

Here's going down the rabbit hole to find that it split and split and split again until any original suspicion of how things will turn out is a guess that is way, way far off.
