Review
Anna and Matt had chemistry but things went south when he breaks it off with Anna heading after Bunny on the night of the red moon. Little did Anna know that it was a cover for a secret that would put her at risk and that he couldn’t divulge to her. A year has passed and Matt is more determined than ever to win back the only woman he loves. Only Anna has been hurt before by Matt even though she loves him she’s not willing to risk the heartache again.

I like Anna she’s not your typical heroine but a curvy girl with a little more to love and it doesn’t change the way Matt feels about her. I wasn’t sure about Matt at first but he earned some redemption as we learned the real reason it was broken off with Anna. While Anna may be pushing away it’s clear that the chemistry between the two is hot.

I’ve not read a lot of bear shifter romance novels until recently and I’ve become a quick fan of them. The concept for the Red Moon which make all the shifters act like horny teenagers was an interesting spin on the shifter concept. I like the fact that the shifters didn’t choose mates by species but by who they really felt was the one so we ended up with fox and bears. The characters are easy to connect with I felt myself taking Anna’s side right from the start but it all works out in the end. I think Taming a Bear is perfect for someone craving a quick shifter steamy romance.
