So very good. There is witches, bears, demons, vampires and dragons. It is fast paced, edge of your seat, can't wait to see what happens next book.
Ness, a witch with healing powers, was a member of the Coven Nine Council but only until they found out who was wanting to get rid of Simone. Now that all that's been taken care of, she is on another mission, to find out who is making and distributing Apollo. She goes to grizzly territory and makes a deal with Bear, head of the grizzly nation and president of the Grizzlies Motorcycle Club. She wants to heal him in return for him to mate her.
Bear doesn't like witches or people in general. He transformed into a dragon to save his sister and is slowly dying. He allows Nessa to start healing him but not sure about mating. He knows Nessa is keeping secrets and that's one thing he want stand for.
While Nessa is there, she is almost kidnapped and someone wants her dead. Bear will do anything to protect her because she has slowly wormed her way into the grumpy shifters heart. They are getting attacked from different sides and it'll take them all working together to keep them safe.
Loved this story. Laughed, almost cried, and hated to see the ending. I love King Dage!

A big shout out to Kensington publishing and NetGalley for the free ARC for my honest review. I admit it up front I enjoy most of Rebecca's work. The chemistry between Bear/Beauregard McDunphy and Nessa is great. Who would imagine a cranky bear shifter and a witch with secrets galore would mate. This book is #5 in the series, but it reads as a stand alone. It is a fun fast paced book with a few twists! It was a pleasant read and I would recommend to all who enjoy paranormal romance. It does have alot of violence but it still comes over as a fun lighthearted read that will make you laugh. Enjoy as I certainly did.

I LOVED Bear!! Y'all seriously...this book is amazing. Realm lovers will enjoy every page and I must admit that I didn't see some of the twists coming and I love how after many many RZ books she still manages to surprise me. I do highly recommend being familiar with the Dark Protectors series(hello Talen and Dage) and the Realm Enforcers series as they have recurring characters you will love...I promise. Bear and Nessa are great together and I hope you love our antisocial Grizzly as much as I did. This was a total home run and I cannot wait for more.
