4 stars!
As the blurb gives a good set up to the story, I will not be rehashing it in my review.
This book is labeled as a bear shifter romance. While that is true, it's so much more! It's not just a shifter story, it's full on paranormal as it has witches and magic weaved through the heart of the story as well.
Finally a full length pnr book that isn't $4.99 or more. And it was good! I was very impressed and pleased by this book. It's a first in a series (the others have not been released yet). The author put a unique twist on this family full of shifters. Of course there are fated mates (thank you) and some cheesy bear puns (it seems be unavoidable, but at least these didn't annoy me), but it's the centuries old mystery/curse that has the story flowing effortlessly and keeps the reader engaged.
I'm looking forward to the other books in the series! I need to know what happens next with the other brothers, their mates, and the curse!

THis did have a bit of a slow burn to start, but once we were off and running it was a great story. Hunky bear shifters with a Rip Van Winkle like curse - what's not to love!!!
Hope is still reeling from the recent death of her father and decides to hike a trail they had intended to walk together. With her dads dog for company she's making great time but she soon fears someone is watching her, she keeps getting these vibes which set her skin on edge.
Houston is a bear shifter, one of 4 brothers and a sister. The brothers were all cursed by a witch and now they all awaken for only one season at a time, and never together. Poor Vangie is left to hold down the fort at the farm and fill them in when they wake up. But when he smells a heavenly scent and stumbles across Hope, he managed to rescue her from the shadow which had been terrorising her!
The sexual tension between these too is combustible!!! But they are also sweet, sexy and snarky! Will they find out they have a common enemy or history? Will they be able to crack the curse of the Afters?
I cannot wait to read the rest of the brothers stories, and I do hope Vangie gets her own HEA cos she so deserves it after all she's been through caring for these dumdum brothers of hers LOL
