About this listen
She's his fated mate, but is the price of true love too high for her to pay?
Her big, close-knit family and her hometown mean everything to bear shifter Hannah Swanson. As a devastating wildfire threatens Bearpaw Ridge, she meets and falls for a handsome firefighter who's traveled all the way from Australia to help save the town. But becoming his mate would mean making a new start halfway around the world, leaving everything and everyone Hannah loves.
Note: This is a stand-alone version of the novella included with Bearpaw Ridge Firefighters boxed set number two. It's book 9.5 in the series, and takes place between Ember and Inferno.

Story
Cat shifter Bree Dwyer doesn't fear much. Ironically, what she fears most is the person who was put on the Earth just for her. Your true mate wasn't supposed to be cruel and twisted; wasn't supposed to be someone who'd never love or want to claim you. The rumors that her true mate is dead bring her only relief. Bree's intent on moving forward with her life and building a future with someone else. Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

Story
I was young and naive when I fell hard for bad boy Grizz, a shifter who was hot enough to melt my good girl heart. Big mistake. Because when good girls are naughty, they end up pregnant. Now I’m back in Forest Heights to care for my aunt with my son Rainer — the son I’ve been raising on my own for nine years because gruff, tough Grizz didn’t believe our baby was possible.

Tate is not the sort of neighbor you can ignore. Especially when he walks around half naked for all the world to see. I can't help that I got a weak spot for bad boys. But that was before I became a single mom, and I’m not so weak anymore. Besides, Tate lights my temper without even trying, and I swear he enjoys teasing me. Well, two can play at that game, and I think it’s time someone teaches him a lesson.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever done this. Written a racy message and sent it to—oops—the wrong person. Yeah, me too. Except, I sent my latest Tales of a Naughty Virgin column detailing my fantasies about my hot, charming, thoroughly bangable next-door-neighbor to…my entire company. Did I mention I’m a children’s book editor? Well, I was. *Facepalm.* At least the column goes viral, but I’m still the gal who gets fired for her not-safe-for-work thoughts about the so-called “Mister Sexy Pants”.

Hannah and Sam
This was a very good short story that I am sorry was not longer. Hannah is from Montana and her mate, Sam, is from Australia. Will Hannah leave her hometown to move to Australia with her mate? This book can be listened to as a standalone.
Beth Roeg did a great job with the narration. I was given this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Sweet, short shifter romance!
Narrator does a good job. She gives a clear, quality performance. Good listen.
Sweet and steamy short shifter romance! This story features bear shifter, Hannah Swanson, and Australian firefighter/bear shifter, Sam. Sam is helping in Bearpaw Ridge because there are some wildfires causing problems. Sam and Hannah instantly connect, but how are they going to work out when he lives in Australia and her whole life is in Bearpaw Ridge. I liked the connection between Sam and Hannah; both are likable and sweet characters. The ending did feel rushed though, so I’d say this is a 3.5 rating for me, rounded up to a 4 because I’ve enjoyed many other books in this series. Still an entertaining, romantic, cute story!
