Genre: Fantasy Romance
She has everything she needs for a solo trek through the Arctic: a sledge heaped with supplies, a little magic, and evidently, the eye of a polar bear shifter–who shouldn't even exist.
Sirin is determined to find the source of magic, and nothing is going to stop her. Not expulsion from her guild, not their warnings about her “certain death,” and certainly not the damned polar bear stalking her through the taiga.
Berne is a simple bear. He likes spending time shifted, a good meal, and apparently, round little scientists. When his duty to protect a thousand-year-old secret is tested against the strange pull he feels toward her, Berne can't help but sink his teeth into the one solution that might let him keep his adorable prey.
I think that I built this one up a bit in my head. I had really high hopes, and this was VERY good. But it wasn't what I was expecting.
I love the footnotes. I love that Siri is this sassy little thing! She's so oblivious. It's pretty adorable. She's so smart, and she's so good at research and field observations. But then she has to interact with people, and she has got nothing. Except some pretty cute snarks in the footnotes.
Berne is also really funny. Such a gentleman. I'm looking forward to the next one! Here's hoping Berne's sister is just as cute as her kids!
