I fell in love with both of these men. Jaime never once made Oliver feel inferior. He was an amazing man and brought Oliver out of his shell. Jaime was tender and passionate. He gave Oliver everything he craved. Watching then fall in love made my heart melt.

I can’t even really come up with a critique of any kind for this story, because of how much I thoroughly enjoyed it and I can only say that I can recommend this story to anyone who needs something a little uplifting to brighten their day.

I adored this story. It's sweet but also has some emotional moments that really grabbed my heart. I loved the contrasting characters and how well-balanced they were. ...If you're looking for a shifter story that has sweetness, a touch of angst and an intriguing plot, definitely give this one a try!

The journey to trust and acceptance was very sweet. I enjoyed Mitch's uncharacteristic patience and persistence as he slowly allowed Simon to accept him and realize his role by Mitch's side.... I enjoyed the differences between these two men and how they worked through their respective fears.

McFarland's is a beautifully written romantic-without-going-cheesy fairy tale novella about a gentle beastly bear loving his beauty. The great thing is that both men did not jump the creek and go for it, they went with the flow, fighting their attraction through the getting-to-know-each-other stage before they finally succumbed. Yes, theirs is a beautiful fairy tale romance that just made the 'awwws' fall from my lips and had me smiling goofy even as I write this. ....Lovely. Lovely, lovely, lovely. **smilingoofy**
