Review: Each book in Bear County collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. The book that we have waited for has finally arrived.
I had wanted to hear T-Rex’s story since I first heard about him in the previous books. I am amazed by the way these two men just seem to be perfect for each other, in my opinion. I loved the way they mix, not to mention the hot sex. Each one of Lynn’s stories is a blast to read, because you can tell that she puts her entire heart into each story. Although most stories that come out fast is usually missing something, her stories always give me exactly what I need and want.
Isaac brought tears to my eyes. The way he was raised and his fears just made me want to go on the warpath. The first time he saw T-Rex he was struck, but his family would never allow him to have a man for a boyfriend. His family was so strict I was surprised that they even let this man out of the house. It is not that they did not love him but they were very homophobic. However, in reality his family is one screwed up bunch. You can tell that the love is quite twisted in fact. I for one would have loved to put a bullet in his father’s head.
T-Rex was raised with a loving family and at one time had been a soldier. When he moved in with the guys at the ranch, he was surrounded by bear shifters. So when he met Isaac it hadn’t taken long before he knew he had found his mate. In this story there is so much tragedy that you can’t help but be amazed at how strong these men are. I felt so bad for Isaac that my heart just hurt and brought me to tears.
It comes off as so very real that it is like you are there with them through it all. When one door closes, one door opens is what was said in this book and it is so very true. I don’t really know how to tell you just how much this book meant to me. It was probably one of the best stories I have found in all of the series for me. Though I was in tears throughout the book, I also found myself laughing so hard at parts of it.
This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It was a fascinating book and I cannot wait to read the next book. It gave me everything I could want in it. Not only did it give me two very sexy men, it also gave me excitement, surprises, bear shifters, powerful and supportive friends, protective mates, passionate sex, and quirky attitudes. It gave me all of that and so much more. I would recommend reading this if you love all of those and so much more.
Did I mention the hot sex that you get from them?
It has a touch of humor mixed in with serious tones that are always the best for me. I can’t stand a story that doesn’t make me laugh. All of the books that Lynn has written give me the perfect combination of seriousness, humor, protective feelings, anger, pain, and quirkiness.
