Bear & Nessa's (Tessa) Story

We've been reading about Bear for so long that I can't believe we finally get his story. I loved every minute! Rebecca Zanetti has such a talent weaving an imaginative storyline that will keep you guessing. Her characters are entertaining that will keep you laughing and her fight scenes are hella good.

Bear lives up to hype that has been built around his character in the previous books. I couldn't have asked for better. Nessa was the perfect match to him and embodied the kickass heroine this author is known for writing.

We finally get the conclusion to the Apollo threat that has been building since book 1 but I don't think that's the end to these charactes. We still have the dragons that I hope will be next in the plans for RZ. So many possibilities!

Series Review: The men are dominant and very protective. The women are sassy and bold. Their enemies are ruthless and persistent. You won't be bored with this fun, fast paced PNR series. Great storyline, characters and suspense. There are Vampires, Shifters, witches, Demons and more. This is a continued storyline focusing on a different couple per book and crosses over with characters from the Dark Protector series. ARC Provided by NetGalley.

Another spin off that comes to an end and I appreciate that a lot. At the beginning I was not interested so much in this series, but it really grew on me and I'm happy that I read all the installment and this especially: I loved Bear so much!

Un altro spin off che giunge alla conclusione, ed é un fatto che apprezzo molto. Anche se all'inizio non ero poi tanto interessata a leggere questa serie, devo dire che con il tempo mi é piaciuta sempre di piú e le storie poi si sono conclusa con questa, che é stata in assoluto la mia preferita!

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

I received a copy of this e-book and am voluntarily leaving a review, my honest opinion.

Nessa, who is a witch, is looking for a crime lord who is manufacturing a drug that can kill her fellow witches. Humans also take it and if they take too much, overdose I should say, it basically burns up the organs in the body, a painful and gruesome death. She has received info that the Grizzly MC is involved so that is where she is looking first.

She has other plans also. She is being hunted by a fellow witch who is determined to mate her and Bear, the president of the Grizzlies, can help her. She and Bear have met before but they don't really know each other well.

Bear is very ill and could die. He normally could heal himself but the healing takes more than he has and he may not survive. Nessa presents an arrangement to Bear, she can heal him and he can mate her so she is free from the other witch searching for her. It seems every witch has their own special talent and healing is hers. She wants it to be a mating in name only, they will both go on with their lives as it was and have separate lives.

Bear had no real plans to mate but the more time he spends with Nessa his feelings start to change. There is a sizzling attraction between them and Bear is sure she is his mate. Bear knows she is hiding something else....

Will Nessa find out who is making and distributing the drug? Will she be safe from the witch hunting her?

This is my favorite of the Realm Enforcer series so far, but honestly...I may have said that about the other books in the series!

This couple really sizzles! The attraction is there from the beginning but is not consummated because of everything else going on such as attempted kidnappings and trying to find out who is distributing the drug. As his feelings start to grow, Bear isn't game for a "mating in name only" relationship.

There are several twists and turns also which made me want to read non stop. I absolutely loved seeing characters from Rebecca's other stories involved when they came to help.

This is definitely a "good read"!

it was amazing

I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I just love Rebecca Zanetti's books.
Nessa and Bear were exceptional characters. I was so curious to discover all of Nessa secrets. I also liked how down to earth she is:
"The mating mark. It was said fate decreed it would only appear when a mate was near, but biology and science probably had more to do with it. She’d decided to mate. There it was."
A must read.
4.5 stars

Rebecca Zanetti is once again enthralling readers with a grumpy, over protective bear shifter and a caring Witch healer, who is so much more than she seems.

A gripping storyline, with charismatic and compelling characters, ensure that this is yet another superb novel by this exceptionally talented author; the Realm Enforcers just keep getting better with every book!

As an avid fan of Ms Zanetti, I can honestly say, put Wicked Bite on your MUST read list.

4.5*

I was surprised to discover this is the first book I've read from this author. The Dark Protectors series has been on my to-read list for years and I will get there one day soon hopefully.

This is a fabulous book I loved Bear, the grumpy yet loveable bear shifter.

Bear is in a bad way, he's a shadow of his former self having previously shifted into dragon form (shifters can only take one form) and the damage is killing him.
Nessa (or Tessa according to the blurb) turns up with an offer for him, she'll heal him if he'll mate with her.
Nessa is Coven Nine witch so why on earth would she want to Mate a grumpy antisocial bear?
Unlike most witches Nessa can't create fire and she hopes that mating with Bear will give her that ability after all Bear's father had been a dragon shifter.
The problem is witches can't be trusted and that was my initial problem with Nessa. It's impossible not to fall in love with Bear and knowing that she was holding out on him annoyed me but ultimately she won me over.

This book has so much going on and I'm sure it's even better if you've read the previous ones (which I definitely will now) there's tons of interesting and quirky characters (my absolute favourites are Garrett and Logan, I loved these guys) trying to discover who's responsible for the flood of deadly Apollo that's hitting the streets.

I'm annoyed with myself for not reading this series and the Dark Protectors sooner but better late than never. This came very close to 5* which is rare for me.
This line sums Bear up perfectly

Demons and vampires. Bear couldn’t breathe. “There are witches on my perimeter. Now demons and vampires close in. Oh God. It’s purgatory. I’m in fucking purgatory. I have to move. There must be property in Antarctica you haven’t found.” His head spun.

I voluntarily read a review copy kindly provided by NetGalley and Kensington Books

Wicked Bite (Realm Enforcers #5) by Rebecca Zanetti published by Kensington Books Lyrical Press. If you have read my reviews for this series then you know I LOVE them. I was lucky when I got an advanced copy of the fourth book through Netgalley and when I finished that I went and read the first three books like they were a piece of pie that I could not get enough of and book 5 is just as amazing as the rest of the series all I can do is HOPE for more. This book exceeded all my expectations and then some. Bear is all Alpha and perfect. He’s rough gruff and kicking a** and taking names and a sweet teddy bear all in one pure perfection. The anti-social leader who wants to save the world and find a woman who isn’t a witch… but lucky for Bear OPPOSITES attract.
Nessa a kick ass witch who you cannot help to relate to and love. She is all layers and soft curves. I love that she is a smart ass and gives Bear a run for his money. The roller coaster ride that is each book is amazing I don’t want to spoil it for anyone but I will say that Nessa is a strong beautiful woman who knows what she wants and how to get it. I love the push and pull that is them and the way that each book is somehow connected and yet stands on its own! 5 stars all the way amazing. Thank you Netgalley this was awesome to read. There is a contemporary series coming from this author that I can't wait to see what it's all about.

The witch and the bear what a team! Bear is attempting to come back from a bad shifting experience where he hasn't been around his motorcycle gang for a good amount of time. He returns to face Tessa looking for the distributor of Apollo the drug that hurts her kind and with it her suspicion of his gang as the ones to take down.. Will they mate? Will there strong personalities clash? Can Tessa heal Bear, in more ways that one? And if your looking for all your favorite shifters, witches, demons, and vamps, Zanetti as always satisfies the need to meet up with old friends. Non-stop excitement and battle of wills not to be missed.

After the awesomeness that was Wicked Kiss, Wicked Bite fell flat on its face. From the obvious bad guy to Tessa and Bear having no clue how to deal with each other, plus an overdose of crazysauce, Wicked Bite was just wicked bad.

Bear was an idiot. Please tell me how this guy is actually the head of a seriously powerful shifter clan. Tessa has more secrets than an old priest who has listened to confession all his life, and the Dunnes and their extremely extended family just had to make appearances.

Absolutely nothing is as it seems, except, of course, the bad guy who screamed bad guy the whole freaking time. Newsflash: there are few things more annoying than a not so secret secret bad guy. Seriously, it was so obvious I thought Bear would get it right away, but of course he didn't.

And Tessa, Tessa sweetie, how the hell did you get to your current position and still be as absolutely clueless as you are? I mean, really honey, you are an idiot.

So I guess with two idiots running the show, it was, of course, a shit show. Nothing goes to plan, the King has to step in multiple times, oh, and a Bear and Tessa fall in love. I got nothing for this book. It was a trainwreck but a trainwreck I couldn't stop reading.

That's ok, I still love Zanetti and her books.

Ms. Zanetti does it again! I jumped into this series feet first with this book and I cant wait to read more. I didn't feel as if I was left out by not reading in order and so that is a huge plus in my book. This story itself had solid meat to it with romance suspense and witty characters. A strong H and a equally strong h were well matched and made for each other.

Well apparently I have some latent hostility toward relationships that start in lies...and I almost did not go through with this book...I didn't like Nessa. I was almost angry with her in the beginning of this book. She seemed so cold and calculating...and then MS Zanetti revealed her to Bear and to the reader. I was able to connect with her and I loved watching her open up for Bear and show him she was willing to change. I love it when an author can change my mind about a character.

Bear was great, I love the hard exterior Alpha who is such a marshmallow for the ladies in his life. I cant wait to see more of him dealing with his extended family and the characters yet to be introduced.

We’ve got BEAR here! Finally, the grumpy, lovable, motor cycle riding shifter BEAR is getting his turn to find love…

Tessa Lansa is on a mission. She needs to find out who is still distributing the drub that is killing off her kind, the witches. But she’s made her own plans and it includes a mating with the rough around the edges Bear, Shifter alpha and motor cycle club leader.

Bear wouldn’t mind Tessa in his bed but he doesn’t trust witches and their machinations. And he really shouldn’t because they always have something up their sleeves; Tessa is no exception.

Fun, fast paced and full of shifter hotness, Wicked Bite is my kind of read.

This amazing cast might just make Wicked Bite my all-time favorite read in this series, even with all my love for the previous books!

From the overprotective Bear to the blue-eyed Witch, Wicked Bite has it all. This story is superb the well written storyline is compelling, I loved the character interaction and the multitude of layers. Ms Zanetti has penned a remarkable addition to the Realm Enforcers. I will be recommending this book and series for sure.

For someone who loves books written by Zanetti, never a disappointing read!! I absolutely love this book and so sad to see the end of the series. Tessa and Bear made a combination. Tessa being snarky & hilarious and Bear being even more snarky. Rough sex and humor made the book enjoyable! Can't wait to see what happens next! Book purchased!

I’m all in with Rebecca Zanetti

Rebecca Zanetti is turning into my favorite “go-to” author. I want to read anything and everything she writes because I know I’ll get rich, fully fleshed out (yes, kind of a pun) characters, great world-building and nicely plotted action. Sure, the hot sex and demon/vampire/witches/werebears are nice elements but what really counts is that Rebecca can write.

So every chance I get, every Wicked Kiss or Wicked Bite or more, I’m in. You will be too.

This is an honest review provided in exchange for an Advanced Reader’s Copy of the two books mentioned above. Go get ’em.

With Wicked Bite we get a shifter who is highly potent, perfectly alpha, 100% dominant male, and a surprisingly strong witch who can't throw fire, but is one of the toughest females I have EVER read with this series so far. My god, Wicked Bite is HOT, demanded my FULL attention and had me edgy, squirming, had deliciously wicked heat with action so heart-pounding good, I didn't realize how on edge I was of my seat, until I almost fell off! This book is So. Freaking. Amazing.

Rebecca Zanetti is a MUST follow author! Her books are dark, sexy, sizzling HOT, with alpha males you will fall in love with and kick-butt heroines. Wicked Bite is a story you can easily and happily sink your teeth into. I know I did and I LOVED every second, every moment, every turn of the page. These books get hotter, darker, edgier, more delicious with every new release. God, how I adore THESE books! Bear and Tessa are my ULTIMATE favorite couple. These two fit...like perfect puzzle pieces. I can't wait to see whats next!

Wicked Bite gets a WICKEDLY AMAZING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! If you have been waiting for Bear's book, you will NOT be disappointed!

Paranormal Series brought to life by Rebecca Zanetti.

Bear is a cross between Teddy and Smokey. He is easy to love and quick to protect. Nessa is a witch with a secret and a goal that only Bear can help her achieve.
Bear is the leader of the Grizzly Motorcycle Club, but he's been out of commission for a few months. He's half dragon, and had shifted into his dragon form to save his sister. Now he is injured from that shift and not healing.

Nessa Lansa, a witch and former Coven Nine council member, is a healer who can't make fireballs like other witches. She makes a deal with Bear--she'll heal him if he'll mate her. She expects to gain fire from the mating.

But Nessa has secrets and ulterior motives. The witch-killing drug Apollo is back on the streets.

This book was good.....

What a way to end a series. I loved these Wicked books. Every single one of them. Though each hero is alphalisious, there is a difference in all of them. Bear was no exception. Strong yet lovable. And he wasn't immune to the charms of Tessa. Tessa was a big surprise for me. From her style of clothing to her well kept secrets.
Though I am sad that this particular series has ended, I will always have them forever in my kindle and book shelf.

I really enjoyed this book. Ever since Bear was introduced I wanted to read his story and I was not disappointed. I liked how they uncover the "drug lord". I think the way the witches, Vampires and demons came together was awesome. If she was to end the series her I think she could however there are a couple of other characters I would love to see them get their own book. Awesome Book.!

Another great book in the series, full of emotion and adventure. I hope there'll be more! I posted a review on Goodreads.

Dark thoughts, double crosses, and family secrets are the focus of Wicked Bite; the sexy times are a bone-us. Shame, because when all is revealed, it was the perfect vehicle for betrayal analysis, instead of the bland relationship woes.
Bear’s final investigation goes horribly wrong because he didn’t have his eye on the ball and didn’t use all the tools available. Why he doesn't use his demon brother’s powers in his interrogation is beyond me or that he doesn’t take his own advice. Ultimately, Nessa’s hunches bear fruit, but that doesn’t get much attention. Instead, the story plays out with the damsel needing rescuing. A bit ordinary, but it is so action packed that this can be easily overlooked. Wicked Bites' meet-cute/mating premise had no power behind it as nothing came of it plot-wise, bedroom action wise, it was plenty steamy. As covert operatives, Bear and Nessa need some work and using coitus as problem-solving is generic. Still, the storytelling is strong, and I’d watch the movie, but barring that stock up on some more Rebecca Zanetti in the mean time.
