True North by Corey Kerr
4.0
I really enjoyed True North. It's a romance between bear-shifter Misha who's running from a dark past, and hockey star JT who's struggling with being the captain of a team that's on a loosing streak, while also keeping his sexuality a secret from the public.
At the start, Misha has been shifted into his bear form for a long time. He's been rooting around JT's house for food and generally being a nuisance, leaving trash from JT's bins strewn across his lawn. The part where JT finds Misha in his hot tub was so funny - just a big ol bear hanging and relaxing in a hot tub.
Their relationship and romance was great. Corey Kerr did a nice job with the development; from JT coaxing Misha into his human form to overcoming the language barrier (as Misha had lost a lot of his English from being in bear form for so long and could only speak Russian), to the romance finally growing between them. It never felt rushed, and even though it was fantastical in nature their relationship was grounded.
