BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Two wandering souls discover that true love needs no words in this explosive, fantastical novel from Vonnie Davis.
Somehow able to telepathically communicate with animals, Paisley Munro has found meaning in her so-called gifts by working as a veterinary assistant. But while traveling to Scotland for a relative’s funeral, Paisley fears that she really has lost her mind. Out in the highlands, she hears distinctly human thoughts coming from a wild bear. Terrified and desperate, she returns to the lodge and collapses in the powerful arms of its owner, a mysterious man with whom she shares a simmering attraction.
Creighton Matheson and his fellow shape-shifters have been roaming this land freely for centuries. Now Paisley may inherit his home, putting his kind in grave danger. His mistrust only deepens when he realizes she can read his mind. Yet he cannot deny that this tantalizing woman makes him burn with desire—and hunger for the prospect of a tender love. Now Creighton must decide which would hurt more: revealing the truth or losing Paisley forever.
REVIEW:
4.75 Hearts I can not even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this story. It has me smiling more times than I can count. All I can say is if this does not become a series and I get to be with more of these Highlander Bears I will be one upset woman.
Paisley is pretty great. Some times she is a bit… whats a good word?… soft maybe. She faints a couple of times and runs away a few times when she doesn’t like how something is said but then she suddenly hardens up and I really enjoy her. She is able to handle a lot more once she gets a backbone. I didn’t like at first that she was engaged but once it played out I understood why it was in the story. I actually would have liked a little bit more of when the ex comes to Scotland.
Now Creighton is just in a word YUMMY. Oh my goodness. He is not afraid to put his heart on his sleeve and is so possessive and protective how can you not love him? I enjoyed that he was a bear and not the alpha wolf that is in so many shape shifter books these days. I love the connection he has with his brothers and his mum and mostly how sweet he is with his niece. I was saddened that once we got to know her she kind of left the story but I am hoping we get Bryce’s story which will include more of Colleen.
And what a great character Effie/Gram is. What a hoot. She made me smile so often and even laugh out loud a time or two. I so enjoyed this story and think every fan of shape shifter romances will love it too.

This looks like a really great read. I’m not familiar with the author, but I will be trying at some point. 🙂
