Bears Behaving Badly by MaryJanice Davidson
4.0
BEARS BEHAVING BADLY by MaryJanice Davidson is a paranormal romantic suspense story that has a unique story line and it is the first book in the BeWere My Heart series. Werebear shifter Annette Garsea is social worker for at-risk shifter children and teens and works for the Interspecies Placement Agency (IPA) which manages the shifter foster care system. She teams up with bear shifter and IPA contract investigator David Auberon when multiple murder attempts occur after she has a selectively mute teen werewolf in her custody.
The characters are compelling with their own flaws and virtues and the secondary characters were well-rounded and did not overwhelm the story. The relationships between the characters were believable and not contrived. The stakes were definitely high and the tension made this a page turner. The story line was fresh and the plot twists were believable, but not totally unexpected. Serious themes of kidnappings, beatings, murder, attempted murder, a mole, cover-ups, romance and much more are included along with the suspense and action.
The plot was engrossing, moving, fascinating, heartfelt, and interspersed with humor. The one detraction was the excessive amount of cursing which did not add anything to the story. Overall, this was an enjoyable book and a good start to a new series. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
