Love and Payne by Charlie Cochet

5.0

Ok so it doesn't seem to matter what book it is in this series it always makes me happy. I've always enjoyed Austin and have been waiting for his story. I love his prickly nature. He's all growly bear in a spitting little cheetah body. I just want to cuddle him to watch him squirm. Of course he'd fall for someone like Zach all sweet and patient.

This is a tight contained little story. This has a nod to the outside story going on, but really is self-contained and maneuvers a few things into position without drawing in our main cast of characters. I really enjoyed seeing Zach's whole family and how those bears operated. They're quite the clan and I'm sure ultimately Braedon's going to get pulled in too. Cause Mama Bear is going to end up adopting those little loner boys. I did enjoy seeing Austin's relationship with Braedon as well. Their friendship was great.

The whole story was sweet with just a hint of suspense of what's to come. It gave time for Austin to come to grips with what he wanted and Zach to persuade him that it was all for the good. :)
