I enjoyed this opposites attract, boss-employee, shifter novella with a side of a unexpected danger. It had a good mix of sweet moments, spice, and real life issues. Orson is a grizzly bear shifter who works for his family’s company, Grizzly Protection Services. He believes he has been sent to Alaska to their newly acquired office as a punishment for being the family jokester and screwup. He is determined to be serious and more like his brothers. Alex built up the security company that has been acquired by Orson’s company. Afraid of getting pushed out and having her company destroyed, she is determined to act sparkly and air headed. When Orson and Alex take a road trip together along the pipeline, it is as equally difficult to ignore the attraction between them as it is to keep up their fake personas and Orson immediately recognizing Alex as his mate just complicates it more. To get to their HEA, Alex and Orson will need to let of their preconceived notions and embrace fate and their real selves. Despite being short, the novella was well written and included characters with dimension and an engaging storyline.

Orson, the male bear shifter lead, is the cheerful, slightly mischievous youngest brother, who has been sent to Alaska to integrate into a newly acquired business for his family - to keep him out of trouble. Alex, the female human lead, is the serious security expert who took a failing security organisation and made it successful. She’s frustrated and angry that the business was sold without her being told.
Both Orson and Alex are hiding who they are because they think that’s what the other person will want to see. But Orson’s bear knows Alex is his mate and he’s determined to convince her too. Though the road trip they’re taking seems to be filled with unnecessary risks…
This story is dual POV, well written and edited, and a fast-paced, funny, contemporary, shifter, romantic comedy. I empathised with both characters’ concerns about how they were perceived. I enjoyed Orson’s enthusiasm for Alaska and his enjoyment of his new surroundings. I enjoyed Alex’s competence, and her reluctance to jump into Orson’s enthusiasm. I enjoyed their intimate scenes and relationship development. I enjoyed the playfulness and joy of the story. I enjoyed the setup for A Daycare for Shifters series.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.
