Surprise: A Second Chance Bear Shifter Romance (Bears Protecting Portland Book 1) Kindle Edition
A shifter’s secret. A surprise meeting. And a second chance at love…
I thought life after military service would be a breeze. I was putting down roots. New house, new business, new woman—and not just any woman—one crazy-hot weekend together and I really thought she could be the One.But then everything changed.
No spec-ops training could have prepared me for what happened when our guys’ camping trip went sideways. Ever since, every now and then, I shift into a bear. A fierce, dangerous, out-of-control bear.Bears don’t have second dates, even with the woman of their dreams. So for Amber’s sake, I didn’t show up. And I never called.
A year later, I walk into a swanky office to pitch a huge new contract, and there she is–standing at the head of the conference table.I’m dumbstruck with an overwhelming, bone-deep, undeniable truth, and I suddenly realize how stupid I’ve been. Amber is definitely the One. She always has been. I have to tell her what happened, how sorry I am, how she’s all that matters—
But now she won’t even look at me.
Can I ever convince her to give me a second chance?

- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseLoved how Amber & Hayden came together. So much love between them and Hayden's friends , hated Ambers ex boss what a mean person he was. Hard to just wake Up and be a bear not knowing how you & your friends became one. Was hoping all of it got explained . Hoping in the next few books it will be. Anyway well written and really enjoyed the book. Enjoy my peeps ! Before I go just wanted to say I'm not normally into bear shifter books, I mainly stick to the wolf shifters . But maybe I should try more bears this book I truly liked
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is a different kind of tale. Four former army officers and friends who had opened a private security firm suddenly become bear shifters . There is no explanation, nothing. This book is about Hayden and Amber. The storyline sort of rambles at first but eventually begins to sort itself out a little. There are sexual scenes that may offend some readers. I’m not sure if this is a series I want to finish. There’s just “something” missing.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI wanted them to find others like themselves. The villain is what anyone unique fears. The romance is stop and go
- Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis was my first Jada Cox novel, but it will not be my last! This book opens with action, and does not stop. I have always been a fan of shifter romances, but this was my first bear shifter novel, and I didn’t know what to expect, but what pleasant surprise! The romance is so sweet and fun to read - no constant angst or anxiety inducing situations. The story is such a fun, light read - I would recommend to anyone! Great summer read. And the first in a series! Will definitely be reading the next one.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseSurprise is a great short summer read. Took a break from some of my series and into a new shifter genre. You can just tell that Hayden and Amber’s feelings are meant to last. They had a miscommunication of sorts and abruptly stopped seeing each other. However they both focused on themselves and later came back together. This is the first bear shifter book I’ve read and I can say that it took a different turn than most wolf shifter books. I do wish to get more information on the guys becoming bears in the next book.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseOk I LOVE reading so when this book came across my screen, after reading the intro I was quick to hit that order button, and boy was I NOT disappointed!
From beginning to end the action mixed in with romance was just a perfect blend to make for a book I couldn’t put down.
A+++++ Highly recommend!!!
