A shorty prequel
Genres; Adult-Ish, Paranormal, Romance.

The story was often awkwardly worded and jumps characters mid sentence/paragraph.
Also has typo/editing problems.
Sappy and other than one scene it would be better classified as 'Young Adult'.
Even that intimate scene was 'Milk-Fed'.
The MC's were way to young for me to really enjoy the romance nor any other part of the story.
Connie is 1 day away from 18 and Edward is only 19.
Most of the writing was the same as the intimacy. Immature and unsophisticated.
I think I have the 1st book of the series already downloaded on my kindle. If I do, I will read it and give this series a 2nd chance. If not, I won't go to the trouble of looking for it.… (mere)

I met Moxie North at the 2017 Passion In Portland book signing event, I would have gotten one of her books there but had depleted my book budget much faster then I had anticipated. I did make sure I had some swag from her table as a reminder to get one of her books from Amazon and boy oh boy am I ever glad I did because Bearly Cooking was really amazing.

Bearly Cooking was very well thought and so well written that the only edit that I ran into was in chapter 4 and it was just a couple of words in the first sentenced mushed together. The mushed together words didn’t distort the rhythm of the story like other types of edits do.

Sophie was likable from the moment you met her and the bears are a hoot. Cage was just to cute for words in his wooing of his Sophie. Moxie North wrote a great story that sucked me in, to the point that any interruption while I was reading it was annoying. I already got books 2 and 3 and am ready to dive into them as soon as I get the chance.
