Bear Creek Thanksgiving (Holiday Mates Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Alexander Elliott (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 32 ratings
On the outskirts of town, bear shifter Gruff Cunningham leads a solitary life with only his cat for company. Disfigured by a horrific attack as a cub, he shuns interaction with others in favor of quietly tending his apple orchard. Now on the verge of an exciting expansion, he’s in need of someone to manage the new enterprise and cautiously sends out a help wanted ad.

Down in Harrisburg, Dustin Mowry is at a crossroads in life—between jobs, ready for a change, and looking for his place in the world. When he responds to Gruff’s advertisement, sparks fly, and Dustin quickly finds himself with a new job, a hot boss, and big problem!

While Gruff thinks the sweet human would never want him, Dustin is afraid of jeopardizing his job if he gets involved in a work related romance. Bit by bit, their undeniable attraction grows, but what will it take to overcome Gruff’s painful past and secure a happy future?

Return to Bear Creek for a fall romance that culminates in a sweet and sizzling Thanksgiving holiday you’ll never forget! (Book three of the Holiday Mates series. Contains steamy M/M content.)

    This is Mr. Elliott's third book in this series, and they keep getting better! This story follows Gruff and Dustin at Gruff's apple orchard. Mr. Elliott does his research & I learned about what it takes to run an orchard. The characters are believable, sexy & fun. Gruff & Dusty are a great couple & Gruff's cat is a hoot! It's a great book & I recommend it heartily!

    With his latest offering, Alexander Elliott returns us to Bear Creek to introduce us to Dustin, and to better acquaint us with Gruff, he of the scarred face, mysterious background, and, indeed, gruff persona. And my goodness, this reader is ever so thankful to have returned! Elliott takes us through the gamut of emotions whilst we learn of Gruff’s background (sad) to Dustin’s brushes with a manager (angering) to Dustin and Gruff coming together and finding their own HEA (SO happy!)
    Elliott’s skill as a world builder, his grasp of different personalities, and his masterful story telling keeps the reader charmed, interested, and entertained in Bear Creek Thanksgiving, and this reader highly recommends this book, this series, and this author.

    I really enjoy this holiday series. I'm not sure how this author thinks of all the details of starting and running a successful business, while weaving it together with a romance, but it all works so well! Just the right amount of detail, flirting and fun to make it all plausible!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Addition to the Bear Creek Saga
    Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next addition to the Bear Creek saga, and Bear Creek Thanksgiving filled the bill admirably. I was immediately hooked on the love story between Gruff and Dustin. They slotted into the neighborhood seamlessly as well as with the cast of characters from the first two books. If Bear Creek was an actual place, I’d be a regular visitor - from Delicious’ fine chocolates to the bear dances to a tour of Gruff and Austin’s barn. And I’d have to visit the resort to see Knox’s woodworking!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lots To Give Thanks For!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2025
    I received this book as an ARC. Having read the book about the Bear Creek community, I am submitting a voluntary review. I loved this story. The characters are involved with living day to day while dealing with realistic situations and emotions within a shifter society. Mr. Elliott has once again created a charming society where it would be delightful to live. Bear Creek Thanksgiving is a great holiday read.
