Up until about the halfway mark I was REALLY enjoying this book. It was lol funny. Then it started to get repetitive, someone would annoy Fallon she'd threaten them, then do nothing and everyone would laugh. Hahaha. It got even worse once she and Ransom got together, she went from an alpha (kinda sorta) to a wuss that was okay with being carried over a guy's shoulder while being spanked in public. She's supposed to be some hard ass alpha that can take down anyone to a dumb shit that easily gets ambushed. Never had a book that I liked at the start turn into one I could barely finish. The start would have gotten 3-4 stars & the second half maybe 1. Ok, so I was looking for something fun to read. I have been doing dark and emotional lately and was just a bit sick of it. Also I haven't reviewed any PNR recently so "What A Bear Wants" seemed to fit the brief. It did too right from the first page, funny! This seems to be a standalone and I can't see any other books Nikki Winter has written that included shifter's but then this is the first book of her's I have read. If this is the first then a little more world building would have been good. It seems like shifter's are accepted in the community? They have shifter resorts and magazines so it seems like it but that is never really explained.I really loved how the animal within these two translated through their characters. Ransom, a bear shifter. Being the slow but determined type. Addicted to honey, meat and sleep. Where as Fallon is the vicious she-wolf that will do anything for her pack. She is wary of opening up to any guy but her femininity comes through as well as her strength. Love, a strong women in romance. These two are so cute together and the chemistry and back and froth banter flows easily. A few small things didn't add up for me, and I do mean small.So Fallon is this kick arse fighter that has already put down challenge after challenge. But then she finds her self in a situation towards the end of the book where it looks like she might get beaten. We just spent the whole book hears how tough she was but then the bad guys get the jump on her. She had already beaten these guys up once, it seemed too easy. Also the weird sexual tension with the alpha of the neighbouring pack seemed a bit strange too. Really though "What A Bear Wants" is some funny, nicely written escapism for an hour or so and possibly a good start to a series.
What do You think about What A Bear Wants (2013)?
Review to come. This was super cute & made me smile.
