I wish I had liked The Bear's Chosen Mate more. The set-up was good, the characters were likable, there was a nice blend of humour and drama, but, for whatever reason, it didn't really work for me. Oh well.

Low drama fated mate fluff with a polar bear and a bobcat. What's not to like?

This was book #30 for Romanceopoly 2020/#29 for the moon challenge pack.
Square: The Vault
Challenge Pack: Moon
Challenge: Read the PNR that has been on your TBR for the longest.
So this PNR hasn't been on my TBR list for all that long since I only started reading PNR with the start of this challenge. That said, I picked it up after seeing Francesca from Under the Covers talk about it in a vlog and it sat in my Kindle for a month or so. I kept looking at it and thinking that it might be fun to read, but kept putting it off for some reason or another, but it fit in perfectly with today's square! (There's a lot of talk about fate in here, maybe she had something to do with it? Granted, they're talking about fated mates... but a fated read is *totally* the same thing, right?)
The Borealis brothers have received an ultimatum from their grandfather telling them to stop avoiding mating fever and find their mates before his next birthday or else. While his older brothers try to figure out a way around this edict (by following the letter of the "request," but possibly not the intent), youngest brother James decides that he's going to decide on his own mate: his best friend Kaylee. When mating fever hits him, it hits hard - and scares the crap out of Kaylee and her inner large cat (though she kinda likes the furry bear and his take charge attitude). James has to convince Kaylee and her cat that this isn't just mating fever and that he wants her as his mate. Kaylee fights her feelings until she realizes that once this bear has made his choice, she doesn't really stand a chance.
One thing I've learned from participating in Romanceopoly is how much I didn't know I enjoyed PNR, especially shifters. (Though I do love a good witch story too...) This was a quick, fairly lighthearted read that I didn't want to put down - I read this in just a couple of hours and enjoyed every minute. 4.5 stars for this one!
