Camille moved to Bear Creek to start a new life. NOT a new relationship.

So when her neighbor opens the door wearing nothing but a towel slung around his hips, and the cutest baby in his arms, she knows she is not going to fall for him…

Who is she kidding? Ezra is everything she could want in a man. But she is determined not to fall for the single daddy next door.

The last thing bear shifter, Ezra ‘Kev’ Thornberg, expects when he’s playing daddy to his best friend’s baby for a couple of weeks is to meet his mate. But there she is, standing at the front door.

Soon, ex-soldier Ezra is dreaming of the day he’ll be a daddy for real. But his mate has secrets.

And those secrets might stop their relationship dead in its tracks, before it’s even had a chance to begin.

This is an adult 18+ story that contains language, possible violence, and/or sexual situations geared to an adult audience.

Single Daddy Bear Next Door begins the Bear Creek Forever: Thornberg Ranch series with Camille’s and Ezra’s unexpected romance.  This series is part of the Bear Creek / Bear Bluff universe.  You certainly don’t need to have read all of the books, but I would recommend them, for this is a fun, entertaining world with likable characters and a real sense of community.

Camille has just moved to Bear Creek with the intent of opening her business of creating delectable pies, while escaping her abusive ex, who would destroy her if he found her again.  She is picking up a package from her neighbor next door when a delicious man opens the door wearing only a towel, holding an adorable baby.  Too bad she’s not in the market for another relationship, considering how her last one ended… but he sure is tempting, even if it seems he’s taken.  Ezra was babysitting his friend’s baby while she dealt with a family issue.  The last thing he expected was to discover his mate on the doorstep.  It’s going to take patience and stubbornness to win his lady over, but the road to his future is helping her understand what they are to each other and keeping her safe from her past.

I love any story that adds to the fun, steamy world of Bear Creek.  The way Ezra felt the mate pull supplies a few chuckles for me.  Camille is wounded but proud, and she doesn’t need any man in her life to dictate how she lives, but Ezra is slowly working his way into her heart.  I loved watching their steamy encounters as much as the tenderness that’s growing between them.  If you love a well-written shifter romance set in a familiar world with characters you’ll root for, then Single Daddy Bear Next Door by Harmony Raines is a perfect match for you.

I own a Kindle edition of this title.
