Review - Thorn by Candace Ayers (Bears of Burden #1)

Thorn

Bears of Burden #1

by Candace Ayers

Goodreads blurb:  Fortunately, fate doesn’t care one iota what they want, she’ll give ‘em what they need.

Allie McMichael is running scared. Not from monsters in the closet, or creepy things under the bed, she’s scared of commitment. She has every reason to be scared after experiencing the pain of infidelity and after watching her parents’ failure of a marriage. On the run from a would-be fiancé, she finds a temp job bartending and waitressing in a small Texas town out in the middle of nowhere. True love is not on the agenda until she meets her big, burly boss, hot-as-hell Thorn Canton who lights her fires in all the right places.

Bear shifter Thorn Canton is living the easy life. Successful tavern owner, he’s surrounded by good buddies, beer on tap, and an endless supply of women to keep him company. He has no plans, whatsoever, of getting hitched up, or of finding a mate. In fact, to Thorn, a mate might be a fate worse than death.

NOTE: This is a series centered around the small southwestern border town of Burden, Texas, where good ol’ bears, Hawthorne, Wyatt, Hutch, Sterling, and Sam are living easy. With jobs they love, beer flowing freely, and pretty women in abundance, the last thing these shifters are thinking about is finding a mate or settling down. But, fate has its own plans….

This is a standalone of about 150 pages with a Happily Ever After ending and No cliffhanger. This book also contains several additional bonus stories to enjoy!

WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS GRAPHIC SCENES OF A SEXUAL NATURE AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR READERS UNDER 18.

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!

The cover is great!  I always love having both beasts on the cover!

This is the first book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.

Candace Ayers is a new author for me.  I bought the book to check out her work.  I definitely liked it!  I do love shifter books.  When I bought it, there are several other stories after the book itself.  When I finished reading it, my kindle said 16 percent done.  I know this bothers some people, but I love getting more content than I was expecting.

This story is about Allie and Thorn.  Allie feels drawn to Burden like it is home, but she is not sure why but feels fate wants her to be there.  Both have baggage, it’s about them overcoming that baggage.  I usually like more action in my stories, but I definitely liked that story and will check out more of Candace’s work.

I recommend this book to all the shifter fans out there especially if you hold bears due to your heart, but there is definitely more here because a panther story is also included which I’m reading now.

Interested in reading???
