Alaska, from what little I know about it, is a fascinating place and one I have not yet managed to visit. Caden, the narrator of this story, is lucky enough to make his dream of going there come true, but for him, it is a lifelong ambition. What he finds when he gets there defies logic in more than one way, but Caden is determined to make things work.

Caden is a solitary man, in love with nature, hiking, and bears, and he intends to spend his summer in Alaska not seeing one more person than he absolutely has to. He’s a nature and wildlife photographer, and he has plans. But from the moment he arrives, Fate takes over and he is in for the adventure of a lifetime.

Drake is a grumpy bear – in the truest sense of the word. As a shapeshifter waiting for his fated mate to finally appear, he is not happy when she still hasn’t shown up years after his twin brother has found his mate. To then meet Caden and to discover his intended is a man, not a woman, throws him for a loop. But not for long - Drake sets out to get his man, no matter what. But then poachers threaten his newfound happiness and it’s up to Caden to make sure their relationship doesn’t end before it begins.

If you like bear shifters, if fated mates are your thing, and if you’re looking for a cute read with lots of angst, drama, surprises, and some hot loving, then you will probably like this novella.
