Love bites, but haunted hotels bite harder – especially when your new client is a smoking hot bear shifter with bedroom eyes and a ghost problem.

When rugged bear shifter Bernie Hinkley hires Enid Vaida to investigate the sinister presence wreaking havoc at his mountain resort construction site, she finds herself facing two dangerous forces: a vengeful spirit and an undeniable attraction. As falling chandeliers and supernatural attacks threaten their lives, an eccentric witch’s cryptic predictions about fated mates start making entirely too much sense.

The ghost of Dark Wings Manor might be menacing, but Bernie’s soul-searing gaze sends Janie’s heart racing with a desire she can’t deny.

Title:  Bear Necessities
Series:  Choose the Bear Romance #3 (Corvid Valley connection)
Author:  Kat Vroman
Published:  November 24, 2025
My Rating:  4.5 stars

Bear Necessities is the third title in the Choose the Bear series, with a Corvid Valley connection. It’s a quick, lunchtime, maybe an hour-long story that will easily draw you in.

When the hotel you’re working on (construction site) suddenly comes alive in a non-living manner, who you gonna call?  Well, maybe not Ghostbusters… but a paranormal investigative team and one ghost whisperer to the rescue.

Frankly, since this is a short, quick story, I’m not going to spoil anything for you.  I’ll simply say that I had a blast with Bear Necessities by Kat Vroman.  It’s full of intrigue, ghosts, a witch and her quirky familiar, and a spicy, hot romance to enjoy.  As always, it’s well-written, emotional, witty, and funny… and definitely sizzling.  Enjoy yourself as you get caught up in a haunted hotel and a couple who will set your ereader on fire.
