About this item

A grumpy bear and a cheerful baker. She’s looking for a fresh start. He loves his routine and quiet.

In the picturesque town of Kodiak, where everyone knows your name and secrets are few, Hannah arrives to fulfill her lifelong dream of opening a bakery. After a nasty divorce, she's eager to start over. With her sunny disposition and mouthwatering treats, she quickly becomes a beloved part of the community. However, her enthusiasm is met with resistance from Rick, the grumpy yet ruggedly handsome owner of the Black Bear Diner.

Rick values the tranquility of Kodiak and the solitary life he's meticulously crafted. The last thing he expected was for his fated mate to arrive, disrupting his peace. Hannah is everything he thinks he shouldn't want: cheerful, human, and irresistibly sweet.

Strange incidents begin to occur around Hannah, is she just accident prone or is something else going on? As a fierce snowstorm blankets the town, leaving her stranded in her bakery, Rick realizes he must do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

Will he get there in time or will he be too late to save her?

Very entertaining and has a bit of everything. There’s danger, suspense, mystery and romance. Rick owns the diner in Kodiak. Hannah’s dream after her divorce is to open her own bakery. The characters are great as is the storyline. I look forward to reading future books by Ms James.

I like this series a lot.
I’m glad the tension is something from outside, not him trying to hide from fate.
Because that never goes well.

The Alaskan Tails series is a spin-off from the Mystic River Shifters Series. It will showcase people that were mentioned, but never had their own story. The stories in this series are shorter novellas, unlike the longer tales, which are about twice as long. Once again, it was fun seeing characters that we met in previous stories have their own tale.

The story begins in court, where Hannah Compton and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Teddy, are finalizing their divorce. It doesn’t seem to matter that Hannah worked and put him through school, paid off his student loans, and caught him cheating, he wants her to continue supporting him, and Celeste. The final divorce decree granted him half of what she earns in her graphic design business over the next ten years. There is always a way to prevent that—and that is what Hannah does—she buys a bakery business in Kodiak, Alaska.

The story will have Hannah selling everything, taking only a few family mementos, and leaving Washington for her new life in Alaska. Unfortunately, buying a business sight unseen comes with shock. It is in deplorable condition and will take a lot of work to have it up and running. But then, the residents of Kodiak are good people, and help comes from several people who quickly become friends.

Rick is the owner of The Black Bear Diner. From the moment he meets Hannah, he knows his life is going to change—she is his fated mate, but she is human. He may try to avoid her, but it won’t last long. Hannah and Rick have some angst in the beginning, but smooth things out soon. Without her realizing it, he is protecting her.

The story has mystery, suspense, and life-and-death danger. Several mishaps happen to Hannah, and each of them could be deadly. But who is targeting Hannah and why? Will Rick be able to protect her? How will Rick tell her the truth about being a black bear?

I loved the chemistry and passion between Rick and Hannah. They are fated mates, even if she doesn’t know about such. With the help of friends and other shifters, they can solve the mystery of who is trying to harm Hannah. It was another wonderful fast-paced, page-turning story, meeting new characters and seeing previous characters from older stories.
