Bear with Me by Lucy Eden
4.0

This was super cute and exactly what I needed today, so naturally, I read it in one sitting (despite having been in the worst slump EVER for the last few months - so, that's a big success for me right now!). Chellie is a likable protagonist and Tanner is such a precious big teddy bear (ha) that you can't help but love him. I like that it's a shifter romance that doesn't play into the whole "alphahole" trope — Tanner's really giving and doting, and while he is protective, he makes it abundantly clear that it's not due to some outdated "damsel in distress" sort of viewpoint.

While I definitely would have enjoyed this novella being longer and a bit slower of a progression, there are elements in the storyline that allow for the quick nature of their relationship forming, so I'm not mad about it. All in all, a really delightfully fun read and I will for sure check out more of Lucy Eden's stories very soon!
