Review: The Bear's Forever Mate (Borealis Bears #3) by Vivian Arend

He’s got the perfect mate in mind, for five years from now…

The final title in a light-hearted shifter trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend.

Cooper Borealis is fully onboard with the concept of fated mates. Except mating the woman he wants—his tempting, complicated, human secretary—is not an option. Or not yet anyway. Still, he’ll keep the vow he made to his brothers, with a few loophole caveats, mating fever be damned. He’ll be with Amber Myawayan at the place and time of his choosing.

Amber has spent the past two years in the north looking for her missing brother—and falling in love with the big, growly polar bear at the helm of Borealis Gems. More than once, she’s caught him looking at her with hungry shifter eyes. But getting him to admit it? Ha! Luckily, mating fever is a thing, and she’s happy to cooperate as nature forces the issue to the forefront.

But when their mating bond is unexpectedly blocked, Amber and Cooper find themselves in a race against time. She needs to track down her brother while somehow proving she’s tough enough to be with her favourite bear. Cooper plans to protect her at all costs, even if it means secretly stifling his stubborn shifter side.

Somewhere in the wilderness they’ll find the answer…or lose their chance at forever.

What I thought about The Bear's Forever Mate

Cooper Borealis, the last of the unmated Borealis bear shifters is about to go into mating fever. But he's got his timetable written in his journal and he's got his life planned out. He even know who he wants to mate with, and it's a good thing Amber is interested in Cooper too.

But the family and the mating fever have other plans for Cooper and he soon finds that is timeline is null and void. Amber is with him and he needs her. When the mating bond fails to develop, it's Cooper's inner bear that has the answer. Amber has some unresolved issues, and it's going to take the entire family to help her get things on the right path!

I've really enjoyed this series. It's light and fun. Vivian Arend does an amazing job of incorporating the shifters into the human world, and the inner dialogue between man and animal has been the shining star of this series.

If you are looking for a lighter, sexy, low-on-conflict paranormal tale, this one might be for you!
