#BookReview: Bearly in Control (Shifters Undercover, #1) by Milly Taiden

About the Book:

For vet and animal whisperer Charli Avers, talking to bears is all in a day’s work. But when she finds a man—a very sexy, very alpha man—where a bear ought to be, the wild comes close to home. Charli is drawn to this mysterious stranger. She wants to help him piece together the past he can’t remember—even if that means shedding her human misgivings and embracing her more carnal desires.

After shifting from bear to man, Barry believes he’s finally found his mate. Now he just needs to find himself. He doesn’t know much about the animal within him, but his human heart aches for Charli. She ignites his instincts to protect her from all danger—including their electric attraction.

The stakes climb as Charli investigates the mystery behind Barry’s memory loss and how it may relate to strange sightings and thefts in this little corner of Oregon. Without answers, she may lose Barry—and herself—to the wild side forever.

Noteworthy experiences while reading this book: No passion in this one

Notes and Opinions: This one for me was what I call a surface story. The characters had no passion and no real depth. The story had the same issue, as it had no real depth and was just a story on the surface. The story used cheap shots to get you entangled in the story (ie. someone walking around naked most of the time~insert eye roll) So much of this story could have been amazing but as it is written it just didn't work for me. There are far better paranormal romance books out there than this one and it wont insult your intellegence. This one was a solid DNF. 

Go Into This One Knowing:  No passion in this one, Surface story
