A review by angmander
Bear With Me Now by Katie Shepard

2.0

Not exactly the lighthearted romance that I had anticipated. I echo the sentiments that many others mentioned in their reviews- I thought the bear encounter would be a fun meet-cute, but was not much of a high point.

Spice level was pretty high and mostly concentrated in chapter 17. If you do read this book, I recommend skipping that chapter entirely. I don’t think you’ll miss any crucial story points.

All in all, I thought this book was fine. The story fell a little flat for me. There was more intimacy than actual relationship development between the main characters. And I didn’t love the way addiction recovery or mental health issues were discussed. There were several problematic elements, truthfully.
