5.0

So this is a shifter and an mc story,  but not really. The main focus is Bug and his relationship with Bear.

Bug is one of those rare characters that captured my immediate attention. I knew he'd be interesting and that he'd have one hell of a backstory. I wasn't wrong.

Bug is homeless and lives on the street. He has for years after surviving [redacted]. Bug rescues Bear, a bear shifter, from a pipe weiding bad man. Dismissing Bug entirely as crazy, Bug is determined to protect Bear.

What follows is a lot of violence and bad men running around causing mayhem. When Bear realizes Bug is his mate, things move even faster.

I wish this story was longer. I loved Bug.

This was a super original story with a well written mc. The plot really grows as the stories go on. This book is Bug and Bear's story, but the other shifters will get their mates, too, in follow-up books.

I love this story and have reread it many times.
