As Game Warden, Jack Chambers is responsible for the wildlife in and around Grizzly Cove, but he never expected to find a badly injured mermaid washed up on the shore near his house. He takes her in and helps her back to health, only to learn of the much greater danger held at bay, just off shore, and how it’s affecting the ocean-going shifter population.

Jack’s immediate problem is the pull the leviathan still has over the woman he is fast coming to believe is his mate. He has to save her, but they also need to work through the problems of a land shifter and a mermaid getting together. Can they make the relationship work? Or is he going to end up broken hearted when she returns to her watery home?

And who even knew there were mer people off shore? This is something the residents of Grizzly Cove are going to have to figure out, especially with the leviathan out there too, still posing a great threat to all creatures of the Light.

As Grizzly Cove’s Game Warden, Jack Chambers takes his responsibility to the town seriously. With the leviathan out in the water, Jack has increased his patrols, watching for any sign of danger. When he comes across a woman on the beach, battered and bleeding, he makes it his duty to help her as best he can. He thinks that she just may be a mermaid, because as he came upon her, she was glowing, and as he watched, her tail became two legs.

Grace wakes up confused; the last thing she remembers is fighting to escape the evil being out in the water, but she wakes up in a warm, soft bed. As she begins to put the pieces together, she is drawn to Jack, and wants to explore what might be growing between them. Jack wants what his brother the sheriff has, a mate to love and grow old with. But he has to wonder, can a mermaid and a bear be mates? His bear thinks so, but he takes things slow, wanting to be sure Grace feels the same, and besides, she needs to heal after her ordeal with the leviathan. Can these two magical beings find their way to true love? Can Grace accept what Jack is offering? Can these two find a way to block the compulsion that the leviathan is sending to keep Grace safe from its evil lure?

Saving Grace is Bianca D’Arc’s next book in the Grizzly Cove series. Ms. D’Arc has added some new characters, folks who are in dire peril from the evil leviathan, because they are water dwellers. I like watching the town grow, as each new species appears in Grizzly Cove. I love the small town feel of the town, and the way everyone is willing to pitch in to help when things get rough. And all of the characters are strong and well defined, with many facets to them. This is a town I really would love to visit.

Jack Chambers is the brother of the sheriff, but has a much different character. He is quiet and more solitary, which is why his job as Game Warden suits him. He is strong and loyal, but he is also lonely. I like seeing Jack learning about mer folk, and how they live and trying to get closer to Grace as his attraction to her grows. I like that Jack is open to trying, even if he gets his heart broken if Grace feels different than he does.

Grace is a mermaid, magical and courageous. She is a survivor, and has managed to escape the evil leviathan although she is worried about her friends still in the water. I enjoyed seeing her react to Jack, and giggled at her inner dialog about whether he is interested. I like that they are both just a bit reticent about rushing the other, and I liked that Grace was so accepting of Jack being a bear instead of another mer being. She is ready and willing to take the next step, and when danger ties to take her, she discovers she is stronger with Jack by her side.

As the leviathan continues to pose a threat offshore, the residents of Grizzly Cove want to find a way to offer sanctuary to any of the water dwelling beings if need be. The ceremony Jack’s friend Gus, the shaman, performs is lovely, and helps to balance out their powers to help keep Grace safer from the lure of the creature. There are some very touching scenes, some humorous spots, and lots of hot in the rain passion. This is one for those who believe in magic and love, and enjoy the battle between good and evil. Keep the fan on high and the tissues close, and enjoy the visit.

A man with a plan…

John is the Alpha bear of Grizzly Cove, a town built to his own design, made up mostly of bear shifters. He brought them all together, so it’s on him when the community comes under attack.

He needs her help to combat the evil targeting the town, but there seems to be more to their relationship.

A battle to the death…

When evil attacks from the ocean, can John afford not to utilize Urse’s skills to protect the town and people in it? Better still, can John reconcile his inner bear’s demand that she is his mate, with his lifelong dream of leading his people into a new way of living—in a town built just for them? Or will he have to give up Grizzly Cove in order to keep the woman he loves?

It has been a strange few weeks in Grizzly Cove, and Alpha John Marshall is starting to wonder what will happen next. Three of his friends have found mates, a Master vampire washed up on the beach, and a ‘sea monster’ has taken up residence in the cove.

When he pays a visit to the new bookstore in town to welcome the two human women, Ursula and Amelia Ricoletti, to the town, he discovers that they have not been completely honest…they are more than just human, they are strega, hereditary Italian witches, magic users. When he confronts the town lawyer with the knowledge, Tom surprises him by telling him about an experience he had with a strega during a conflict years before. While John considers whether the women can stay, the ‘sea monster’ is identified as a leviathan, a being of great evil, and it is trying to consume the magic of the shifters and others gathered near the cove. Ursula is a descendent of a famous Marsican bear and his strega mate, and her magic is uniquely suited to building a permanent ward to protect the people of Grizzly Cove, that is, if the Alpha lets them stay. The more John is around Ursula, the stronger his bear is at telling him that she is their mate. When other magical beings arrive in a time of crisis, John has to decide whether they are what they say, and when help comes in the form of the fey, Cameron, John must decide to accept that he is who, and what, he says he is. Can John accept a magical woman for his mate? Will the other bears accept Ursula and Amelia, knowing they are not fully human? How much will Ursula sacrifice to stop the evil of the leviathan from affecting Grizzly Cove and its residents?

Alpha Bear is the fourth of Bianca D’Arc’s Grizzly Cove series, and things are starting to get dangerous and exciting in this small Pacific Northwest community. New people, not all of them human, are coming, and some will form alliances to combat the evil that seems to be growing. The characters in this town are starting to show their courage and loyalty to good in their actions, and I like the way they are supporting each other in this time of evil intent. I like the way Ms. D’Arc adds new characters to the mix, just when they are most needed, and that these ‘new’ characters are not exactly new, just new to this venue. This world is getting more fascinating with each book, even as the danger grows.

John Marshall is the mayor/Alpha of Grizzly Cove, and he takes his responsibilities very seriously. He is strong and smart, and at first he is angry about what he sees as the deception that the Ricoletti sisters perpetrated. I liked that John kept an open mind, and was willing to seek information about strega before making any decision. And I loved watching as he had debates with his inner bear about Ursula and what she was to them. I like that John is cautious about those who move to ‘his’ town, and yet he is also fair, giving every chance to prove worth.

Ursula Ricoletti is a very powerful strega, with a bit of bear blood far back in her heritage. She is on the side of the Light, and is worried that she and her sister will be told that they have to leave Grizzly Cove. When she learns that her Nonna (grandmother) had a premonition that the sisters would be needed there, she encouraged them to move there. I like that Ursula is not intimidated at all by the Alpha, and that she is more than willing to go toe to toe with him when she knows she is in the right. I like watching as she started giving of herself to help the town, and I enjoyed watching the dance between Ursula and John.

This book is a little darker that the previous books in the series. We get the first real look at the power of the leviathan, and just how evil it is, and how much it will take to protect Grizzly Cove. There is also the question of whether the bears are willing to accept mages, witches, and magic users in the town, at least until they are shown how valuable the magic can be. This book showcases the battle that is beginning, the age old conflict of good versus evil, and hints of worse things to come. There are also some lighter moments, and some very passion filled encounters between Ursula and John. Ms. D’Arc continues to enrich this world with colorful and richly detailed characters, and I enjoyed the visit of a few ‘old friends’ from other books as well. This is for those readers who like bear shifters and magic and romance, ad having things just a bit dangerous. On caution, read with the lights on…that leviathan is one scary sea monster.

Sheriff’s Deputy Zak is one of the few black bear shifters in a colony of grizzlies. He’s used to taking guff from his comrades, but it’s all in good fun. He’s fought beside these guys for many years and it’s time they all stopped roaming and picked a place to settle. Grizzly Cove seemed as good a place as any when the idea was proposed, and Zak likes the slow-moving police work in the sleepy coastal town.

When his job takes him into closer proximity to the lovely Tina, though, he finds he can’t resist her. Could it be he’s finally found his mate? And when adversity strikes, will she turn to him, or run into the night? Zak will do all he can to make sure she chooses him.

Grizzly Cove is growing every day. Sheriff Brody and Tom Masdan, the town lawyer, both found mates in the human Baker sisters. After the threat to Ashley back is resolved, Tom and Brody want to make sure that the remaining sister is protected when she works the late shift. To keep Tina safe, Brody asks his deputy, Zak Flambeau, to watch over her. Zak finds this to be the easiest duty the sheriff has ever assigned, because even Zak’s bear is attracted to the youngest of the Baker sisters. For her part, Tina has the same attraction to Zak, and she secretly decides he is going to be her ‘forever bear’ if she has anything to say about it.

When a Master bloodletter shows up at the bakery on night, injured to the point of madness, Zak quickly steps up to protect Tina and call in the troops to handle the threat. It turns out, Master Hiram is not the threat here but the victim of an attack by a ‘sea monster’ and once his story is heard, the town leaders (the Alpha, sheriff and lawyer) offer to help. But when Zak and Tina go on a picnic, Tina is attacked by whatever is in the water, and Zak goes bear to save her. Will Tina and Zak be the next mated couple? What is the next step against the danger under the waves in the cove? Is this an isolated incident, or just a harbinger of worse to come?

Night Shift is the third of the Grizzly Cove series, and the first that begins to point toward a greater threat to the town, and to humanity as well as the shifters. I liked that, in this book, Ms D’Arc brings in some new characters not seen in the town before, like Master Hiram, the bloodletter. This world is expanding, and each character added comes with a rich and detailed history behind them. I like that Ms D’Arc chooses to not call her vampires by that slightly overused term, but indicates that ‘they prefer the term bloodletters’. This is the first real danger that has surfaced (almost literally) in Grizzly Cove, and I enjoyed watching how the bears handled it.

Zak Flambeau is the Grizzly Cove deputy, but unlike most of the residents, he is not a massive grizzly bear. Zak is a slightly smaller black bear; still strong and deadly, but faster and more cunning when in action. I like Zak for the confidence he has, both about who he is and what he can do. I like that he came from a rough beginning and built himself a better life in the military, turning his fellow bears/troops into the family that he never really had. Seeing Zak with Tina shows how honorable and caring he is. And it doesn’t hurt that he is hot and sexy, either; Zak is the whole package.

Tina is the youngest of the Baker sisters, and has been, by her own admission, a bit of a wild one. She wants what her sisters have found; someone to love her and be there for her. When Zak draws protection duty, she gets to know and admire him, and when he springs into action to keep Master Hiram from doing any harm, she realizes just how much she likes the deputy. Hiram may be more polished and urbane, but it is Zak’s slightly rough around the edges character that draws her to him. I like Tina’s determination to make Zak her ‘forever bear’ and I enjoyed watching as she took the initiative with him on their first date. I also like her courage, that she didn’t outright panic when the ‘sea monster’ tried to pull her into the cove.

This is the first hint of the danger that appears to inhabit Grizzly Cove, and the powers behind it. There are new characters introduced in Master Hiram and ties to the greater were community at large. There is also passion, humor and surprises in store, and there were times when I actually giggled at the silliness of the characters. But this one is definitely a bit darker, with the, as yet unnamed, ‘sea monster’ in the cove threatening those in the town. The scorching heat between Zak and Tina boils over in places, and the heat is unbelievable at times…how can two people be that hot together and not spontaneously combust? If you like your shifters big and sexy, and you’re ready for a happy ever after while still leaving a threat hanging over the town, then this is the story to read. But keep plenty of ice on hand, you will need it.

As the lone attorney for Grizzly Cove, Tom Masdan is responsible for vetting every person who wants to move to the town. He approved the Baker sisters’ move to Grizzly Cove, and yet, he has not visited the bakery like everyone else in town. Now, with Brody mated to the oldest of the sisters, the Alpha asks Tom to check out the rest of the sisters to be sure they can be trusted to keep the secret of the town.

When Tom stops by to speak to Ashley, his bear sits up and declares ‘mate’ in no uncertain terms. As an attorney, Ashley admires the way Tom thinks, and is also taken with the fact that, besides being smart, Tom is very easy on the eyes. Of course, most of the shifters in Grizzly Cove are fine specimens of male delight, but she finds Tom even more attractive than most. When Tom reveals that he knows about the unfortunate incident that drove the Baker sisters to relocate, he lets Ashley know he is completely on her team, and that unless it becomes necessary, it is her secret to tell or not. When trouble, in the form of one nosy and persistent reporter arrives, the bears of Grizzly Cove decide to rally around Ashley and pay a furry visit to him at his campground, scaring him out of town and keeping Ashley safe. When Tom tells Ashley he thinks they are mates, she lets him know that she is ready to be with him too. Can Ashley accept his bear, with all that mating entails? Will the town accept that these human women are here to stay?

Mating Dance is the next episode of the Grizzly Cove series. I like that this world keeps expanding, and that the loyalty of the community is willing to accept humans as well as all varieties of bears. I loved the small town feeling of Grizzly Cove, and liked learning about the various talents each of the bears is developing.

Tom Masdan is the town lawyer, smart and loyal to the community. He has the responsibility of making sure that the folks approved to move to Grizzly Cove are not a danger to the town and the secret it holds, and he takes his responsibility very seriously. He knew all about the incident in Ashley’s past, and he felt that what happened was not her fault, and felt that she and her sisters would be an asset to the community, and now, having met her and found that she may just be his mate, he will make sure that she and her family is safe.

Ashley Baker is smart, but she is trying to stay out of the public eye after the incident in her past. This town of Grizzly Cove is where she hopes to make a new start, and her sisters support her no matter what. When she finds out that Tom, the town’s sexy and handsome lawyer knows about her past, she is afraid she will have to run again. She is shocked by her attraction to the town lawyer, and stunned when he seems to feel the same about her. I like that Ashley is not afraid to get closer to Tom, and enjoyed watching as these two found out how fast a relationship can move with the right partner.

There are lots of seriously hot encounters between Tom and Ashley, once they get past the initial meeting. I laughed so much at the description the men gave of how they ‘persuaded’ the reporter to leave town when he came looking for a story about Ashley, and how the bears all protected the sisters from the perceived threat of exposure. There are some very sweet moments in this as well, but it is one very hot romance; these bears don’t play around once they have met their mate, that is for sure. I look forward to more in this world, and recommend this to anyone who likes hot bear shifter romance.

Welcome to Grizzly Cove, where the sheriff has more than the peace to protect. The proprietor of the new bakery in town is clueless about the dual nature of her nearest neighbors, but not for long. It’ll be up to Sheriff Brody to clue her in and convince her to stay calm—and in his bed—for the next fifty years or so. Yeah, that might be enough. Then again, maybe he’ll keep her forever.

Grizzly Cove…an idyllic town, established as an artist’s colony. Peaceful, but with one unusual feature…most of the residents of this small town are bear shifters, recently retired from Special Forces and trying something never done before, live together as a community. The notable exceptions to this are the fully human Baker sisters, Nell, Ashley and Tina. Ironically, they own and operate the only bakery in town.

Sheriff Brody finds Nell the most attractive of the sisters, and his inner bear says she is their mate, but he is not ready to expose the secret of Grizzly Cove to her. When a drunk koala shifter comes to the bakery and shifts right in front of Nell, the sheriff is conflicted; happy that Nell now knows his secret, but angry that the crazy Australian shifter was so careless. Nell has been attracted to the handsome sheriff, but felt that he was not interested until the episode in the bakery, now she is delighted to find that Sheriff Brody is determined to pursue a relationship with her. Can Nell accept Sheriff Brody’s other side? Will Brody finally be able to claim his mate? And will Nell need to keep the secret of the shifters from her two sisters?

Grizzly Cove is a new community crafted by Bianca D’Arc, with charismatic and intriguing characters and idyllic locations. It is an experimental town, filled with shifters and shifter magic, under the guise of being an ‘artist’s colony’ where each of the retired soldiers finds a way to be creative and contribute to the town. I loved the idea that these dangerous Special Forces shifters were using hidden talents and finding out that they were good at something besides being warriors. Ms. D’Arc has filled her town with a variety of characters, from the wood carving sheriff, the lawyer who paints and many others.

Sheriff Brody is strong and handsome, and keeps the town safe and secure. He can’t reveal his feelings to Nell, until the koala shifter exposes the shifter world right in the middle of the Baker sisters’ bakery. I like that Brody is loyal and truthful, and yet is conflicted, wanting Nell as his mate, but not willing to expose the town’s secret. And I liked watching as he took care of Nell to help ease the shock she got after the event.

Nell Baker is the eldest of the sisters, and is smart and funny and protective of her sisters. I enjoyed seeing the way she handled the shock of learning that beings of myth and legend actually exist without panicking. She is able to accept what is happening between herself and Brody, and only asks that they progress slowly. I like that, while she is worried about the effect this will have on whether she and her sisters will be allowed to stay in the one place they have been comfortable in, she wants to see where this ‘thing’ with Brody will go.

There are some fun twists in this one, from the Australian shifter who gets belligerent when inebriated, to the panda shifter and her daughter who love the sweet treats from Nell’s bakery. I like the close knit community that is forming here in Grizzly Cove, and the secrets that are slowly coming to light as we get to know the inhabitants. There are some very hot scenes between Brody and Nell, and there is truth to the rumor that, for bears, everything is better with honey. Do Nell and Brody reveal the secret of Grizzly Cove to Nell’s two sisters? You will have to read the book for the answer to that question. I recommend you run the fan on high while reading this, and be ready for lots of laughter in this romance.
