We took my mom who was in a wheelchair and she got so excited trying to see them that she tipped herself over and screamed. All six bears ran away scared to death into their caves.

Mom was fine but it took some major work on the keepers part to get those bears to come back out of their hiding.

I'd never been so embarrassed but after that it hard for me to think of bears as anything other then that.

This made me giggle at the image of all those 'fraidy cat bears!

Thank you for the bear shifter freebie (and I see she writes dragon books as well...uh oh, another weakness!) and also for the bookgorilla rec.

Yeah I'll never forget them peeking out at us scared witless. Fearless bears they were not.

Now Dragon shifters I've read and can see the appeal about them. Dragon up! lol

Nope, they redesigned it as of August 1st.

Sending you support and hugs, KyBunnies. Sorry things didn't work out this time around. Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this again. Stay strong.

LOLOLOL!!! (Though I hope your Mum wasn't injured.)

In and around NY, though, and in many other places, bears are no joke, and should be treated with extreme caution even when in captivity or on a preserve.

KyBunnies, you will make it through this. Unfortunately, no one ever changes unless they themselves really want to. Big hugs to you. I hope you are finding comfort in your fur babies.

Brave the Heat by Sara Humphreys

I've read and would recommend her Dead in the City vampire PNR series but haven't tried her contemporaries yet. This sounds really good.

Spoiler:

Brave the Heat is for you if you like:
* A scorching hot fire fighter struggling with his dark past
* A tough-as-nails heroine determined to protect her family
* A small town ready to ignite
* And a second chance at love that may just save them all

Jordan McKenna is back in town, and Fire Chief Gavin Maguire's feelings when he sees her after all these years are as raw as the day she left. Then he was just a kid wearing his heart on his sleeve. Now he spends every day trying to atone for the tragedy he couldn't prevent.

Jordan's life has not exactly worked out the way she expected. A divorced mother of two with a failed acting career, Jordan's biggest concern about coming back to Old Brookfield was seeing her first love. But when a series of suspicious fires breaks out, Jordan and Gavin realize that dealing with the sparks between them may be the least dangerous of their problems.

I'm so sorry to read that. Kudos to you for:
(1) Being hopeful, optimistic, loving, forgiving, and open enough to believe your partner had changed for the better,
(2) Being so awesome that you likely inspired him to to try his darndest to change for the better (though it seems he fell short), and
(3) Ultimately knowing when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.

Hugs to you.

Anyone else get a survey from Harlequin today in their email? At the end you get a coupon code for a free Desire book. No limit, it let me use it on a Desire book bundle so I got a 3 in one that's normally $9.99. In case it works, the coupon code is LUVDESIRE, good for any Harlequin Desire book.

Also heard from them regarding Diablo Lake Moonstruck. Their technical team is still working on it and they offered a refund. But, since I didn't pay anything for it (used a My Rewards coupon code) I'm willing to wait for them to hopefully figure it out.

No survey for me. Also, haven't heard back about my Carina book. I used a coupon code to buy mine as well.

Diablo Lake: Moonstruck by Lauren Dane - $0.99
Amazon US | B&N

In Diablo Lake, Tennessee, a town populated by werewolves, witches and more, magic woven deep into the earth protects the town's secrets from outsiders.

Katie Grady left Diablo Lake to get over a humiliating breakup. But her family needs her help, so she's back, in a sublet right across the hall from the guy she's lusted after for years. Jace Dooley is hotter than ever, and their friendship picks up along with massive doses of grown-up chemistry.

The very scent of Katie sharpens Jace's canines, makes the wolf within him stir. There's nothing more alluring to a Pack Alpha than a sexy female who is so very in charge. She won't be coddled, but if he plays his hand just right she might be convinced to become his.

Katie presents a challenge to Jace's wolf nature, whose chief instinct is to protect. Especially now that she's coming into the magic that is her birthright—and suddenly Jace isn't the only one who's interested in Katie or the raw power she's just learning to use.

Editor's Note: The story continues in Diablo Lake: Protected, available soon!

One-click with confidence. This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you're looking for with an HEA/HFN. It's a promise! Find out more at CarinaPress.com/RomancePromise

X-link to the Kobo discounts thread for some Buy 2 Get 1 Free sales:

Kobo US has many works from romantic suspense author Lisa Jackson (published by Kensington). Kobo Canada has a separate sale for backlist romances from Open Road, with special spotlights on Amanda Scott and Heather Graham (though plenty of other authors to choose from).

Kensington is still couponable in Canada, but no longer in the US, it would seem, so if there's anything of Jackson's you really wanted, this seems like a decent deal.
