Bear Necessities: Halle Shifters, Book 1

Written by Dana Marie Bell

Narrated by Samantha Cook

To hold on to his love, he must release his beast.

Once a Bear sets his mind on a mission, it's best to stay out of his way. Alexander "Bunny" Bunsun is that Bear. Something's not right with his cousin Chloe, and he's come to Halle, PA, to sort it out, turn his Harley around, and head home to Oregon.

Until an enticing scent lures him into the local tattoo shop. There she is. An inked, Southern-drawled she-Wolf with lime-green hair. His perfect mate.

Tabitha Garwood's rotten day just got worse. Her Outcast status makes her a target for harassment with alarming regularity. And now, in the middle of a root touch-up, looking like a half-melted Skittle, she's met her destined mate. The only upside? She finally has a protector in the form of a huge, tattooed, shaved-head Bear who vibrates with carefully restrained power.

When Chloe is left for dead and Tabby is threatened, only Alex can keep his growing family safe. Giving Tabby the loving home she needs, though, could come at a price - Alex must give up the control he's worked a lifetime to attain. Which means someone could die at the hands - and claws - of his beast.

Warning: This novel contains explicit sex, graphic language, a hunky Bear named Bunny and... Yes. I said a Bear named Bunny. I don't know about you, but I'm not brave enough to make fun of it.

Reviews for Bear Necessities

[Angela White · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The menagerie of shifters happily co existing was awesome and so much fun.

[Tricia Ortega · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

DNF due to all of the unnecessary characters added close in chapter 6. They just bogged down the plot. I was enjoying the story up to that point.

This was my first book listening to one of Bell's books and what a great introduction to her, really enjoyed the style and characters, looking forward to listening to the whole series.

Very enjoyable, but should be read in series order, otherwise spoilers alert...Halle and Poconos books should be read/listened to first

[Phat_Panda · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

love the story line..not the individual doing the audios though..not very good on portraying the male characters. Which I know is hard to voice to begin with, but at least some tone difference would be nice. It's very hard to tell which guy is talking with her same "guy voice" like when bunny or Julian are talking you can't tell who is who until she says "Julian yelled" vice versa. Very good story line, but will not be listening to the audiobooks for this series after this.
