In previous books it was obvious that Rebecca and Walker will get their own story. I liked them before and still do. Usually the story is about the male Shifter, I'm glad we get a female Shifter trying to find her happily ever after. The plot thickens now that a new pack or clan of Shifters without collars have been found. Sadly they have been scattered and Dylan had a conversation with Kendrick, what about? No idea. I enjoyed the plot and the main couple a lot.

Becks and Walker finally get their HEA. there was a lot of action and plot, much more than the full length novels (percentage wize) but when things get steamy between these two it really could melt the ice caps. loved every second.

~ 4 Bear Attraction Stars ~
Ashley knows how to make a great paranormal romance. Bear Attraction comes complete with bears, sexy shifters and humans, mystery, and bit of danger. We get to meet some old and new shifters and learn a little more about the world these shifters live in. This novella can be read out of order, but I recommend reading in order.
Rebecca, a Kodiak bear shifter and Walker, a human working for the Shifter Bureau end up having to team up to solve a missing persons case.
I enjoyed Rebecca. She is no damsel in distress and pulls her own weight even against other shifters. Walker a former soldier, comes to her aid, but he understands her dominate nature and does not shy away from it. I like that he does not hold her back and that these two can work together. The relationship; well these two have been dancing around their attraction for each other for quite some time. Even in this novella it takes most of the book for them to finally give in to their feelings. The romance is sweet, not as intense as other couples in the series, but still a great mating dance with little sex.
The investigation for the most part is predictable until the end when we are introduced to a new shifter. The author does leave us hanging on what happens with this new shifter, so I’m a little curious to see where this storyline is going. Dylan shows up and we get to see how far his reach is, even though he is no longer the leader of the Austin shifters, he still has a big influence. Broderick also makes an appearance since he is protecting Joanne who’s sister is the one missing.
Overall, I had a great time return to the Austin shifters. This novella is a nice fun quick read and I look forward to more installments in the Shifters Unbound series. It’s a great mix of characters and romance.

Loved it right until the end. Weak ending, and unsatisfying dealings with other characters.
Full review to come.

First Thought when Finished: Bear Attraction by Jennifer Ashley is not my favorite in the series but it was still good.
Overall Thoughts: Bear Attraction added another layer to the Shifters Unbound series. I am really curious to see where it goes from here. I liked both Walker and Rebecca but wanted more romance in their story. I thought they deserved more. However the story forward in this one is something not to be missed. Now I wait for the next one.

So its a good thing I made a point to read all the novellas. This book is important in introducing the next set of characters and its a novella.
Rebecca drove me a bit nuts at the beginning but got better. Kendrick is a jerk.

Walker and Rebecca know each other, but have withstood from seeing where their sexual tension led them. Fates seem to be against them when he's the one arresting her for trespassing. His compromise for her not getting arrested? Them spending time together, close time together, to help solve a case. Which only serves to ramp up the sexual tension.
Rebecca is a bear shifter who has always been used to being independent. She doesn't let herself be easily cowed to anyone else. And with Walker being a human, she's tried to put away her feelings as best she can. The case they work on together has them taking risks and putting themselves into somewhat dicey situations, but it also has its benefits. Maybe feelings will finally come out as they've been close to doing for awhile now.
Even though this was a shorter book, around 170 pages, I still felt like something was missing. There was an element I kept waiting for, but never got. The story wasn't rushed or lacking due to the length, but I felt like the connection between characters wasn't fleshed out as it could have been. It didn't keep me captivated or quickly turning the pages, and I so desperately wanted that with their story. With that aside, I am still looking forward to the next installment.

Have I mentioned how addicted I am to Jennifer Ashley's Shifters Unbound series? Well, I am. I adore this series more than you can imagine and have followed along since the beginning. Having been a long time shifter fan, it may surprise you that Rebecca was never really a character of interest for me but what I admire about this particular author is that she knows what her readers want when even they don't know they want it. I had no idea I would fall in love with Rebecca and Walker. I was able to relate so strongly to their story. Both secretly pining for one another but being unwilling to throw themselves out there. Too afraid of rejection when they were so sure that the other was their match. I connected with that. How often have you cared for someone and worried that those feelings wouldn't be reciprocated? Jennifer Ashley took a story filed with fantasy and fiction and made it feel real. Once again she delivered a well written story, building on the fountain we've grown to love. I will tell you now that every time I get a little peak at Olaf I smile and cannot wait until he goes through transition so we can finally see his happily ever after as well. The bears were shifters that before I'd never really responded strongly too but after Ronan and now Rebecca, I think these bears are stealing my heart. If you have not yet read Bear Attraction, be sure to add this one to your must read list because it is a riveting story filled with tension, passion, and understanding that everyone can relate to.
