Runaway Mate: A Shifting Destinies Bear Shifter Romance (Shifters of Bear's Den Book 4) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 428 ratings

A bear prowling the edge of danger.

Gray Jennings has a problem. One that could get him put down by his alpha. It started when a rogue military commander laid siege to the town of Bearden and months later, Gray is still shifting in his sleep. His lack of control marks him as a hazard to both humans and other shifters.

He's being watched.

He knows the danger he poses.

So when rich girl Meghan Wilcox comes to town, he vows to stay far away. The last thing Gray needs is a distraction. Even if Meghan's curves and fragile beauty bring out his protective nature.

But the girl's got a secret and worse, her sweet scent stirs his angry bear.

A girl hiding from her enemies.
Meghan's on the run, hiding from a vengeful ex-fiance after she dumped him at the altar. He's humiliated and hunting for her, intent on payback. Out of sheer desperation she seeks safety in the small town of Bearden. Tucked away in a secret cabin, Meghan feels the glimmers of hope. Finally. But a new threat soon arrives in the shape of a terrifying shifter.

A bear who has shifted in his sleep. Gray Jennings.

Meghan gentles him and they form a tentative truce. A bond links her to the formidable shifter, but he's savage and unpredictable. Has she traded one danger for another?

Meghan's past won't stay quiet. Just when her heart is on the edge of loving this untamed shifter, danger looms, threatening all she holds dear. The only one who can save her is the wild and feral bear.

    I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book and I also bought it. I love shifter stories and Cecelia Lane’s are some of the best I’ve read. Runaway Mate is the fourth book in the Bear’s Den Series. Meghan has run away from her fiancé and her mother. She plans to hide away until her new job begins in about a month. Unfortunately, Bentley, the man she broke up with, is wealthy, influential, and immersed in the pro-human movement. Meghan has stopped in Bearden, a shifter community that suffered at the hands of a pro-human attack. Soon, she fortuitously meets Gray as he saves her from a suspicious group of ‘attackers’, and he senses immediately that she’s his mate. Gray has been having trouble with shifting while he sleeps ever since the community was attacked. His bear is too wild and close to the surface but as soon as he met Meghan it calmed down. Once Meghan’s ex realized he couldn’t force her to return to him, Bentley began manufacturing situations where Gray or his sister or others in Bearden would get in trouble. There was definitely a surprise near the end!! I truly wanted Gray and Meghan to get their HEA but with Gray registered and Bentley relentlessly NOT letting Meghan go, their situation seemed hopeless! You have to read this book to find out the ending!!

    Gray has a troubled bear in him and he doesn’t know if he will make it to the end of the year. Not until Maghen show up in town. When he saves her from being kidnapped by her ex that’s the first time he smells her and knows she is just what he needs to calm down his bear. So keep reading this very enjoyable story and see how much more trouble will happen between them ! !

    Runaway Mate by Cecilia Lane. 5 Stars

    OMG! So Good. I Loved it.

    Gray and Meghan are wonderful characters that will tug at the ole heartstrings. Whether it's Gray fighting with his inner bear or with Meghan trying to get away from an ex, you'll find yourself with giddy excitement or feeling scared at what's happening.

    Must Read, Great Storyline, And if you enjoy Sexy growl worthy Bears, then this book is for you, oh yeah.

    Mature readers, some strong language and sexual content.

    I have voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book by it's author. Reviewer for Nook Books and More Blog.

    The one thing i hate about shifter books like these are that the shifters have to abide by human laws which ends causing more problems. I love the books where shifters just kill whoever threatens them. More satisfying. The villains punishment in this was disappointing.

    Meaghan is a former actress who breaks her engagement to a control freak and heads to the hills for privacy and a period of calm. The town she finds is in a bear shifter enclave and there she finds acceptance, friends and a shifter lover. All her life was controlled by a star struck mother and then a domineering fiancé. The only thing she decided for herself was a journalism degree and she intends to make it count. Her former fiancé though, does not understand the word “no”.
