Synopsis (Goodreads):

Saint is a bear shifter on the war path. He just wants to sleep the winter away, but his rowdy neighbours in the remote Rocky Mountains valley have other plans. When the cougar shifter brothers refuse to keep the noise down, he reacts on instinct, kidnapping a beautiful female who smells like sweet berries and tempts him like no other—a female who happens to be mated to one of the brothers.

Holly’s first taste of freedom isn’t going as planned. Escaping her family to join in the winter wedding celebrations at Cougar Creek with her friend Ember sounded fantastic, until a grouchy bear shifter grabs her—a gorgeous male who rouses instincts in her that are startling and powerful, igniting a fierce need to growl and stake a claim on him. A gorgeous bear who might be her fated mate.

Can Holly resist the hungers Saint awakens in her? And when Saint realises his mistake about her identity, can he convince the stunning Holly to give him a second chance?

Thoughts on Stolen by her Bear: Take one grumpy bear with a hair-trigger temper who DOES NOT enjoy being awake while snow is still on the ground and throw in a group of shifters who are prepping for a wedding and...well, Saint doesn't react well to all the noise and his impulse control is at an all time low and now he has a sassy cat holed up in his cabin.

Whoops?

The good news? Holly's previously dormant sexy instincts have decided to sit up and notice the grumpy bear holding her captive. The bad news? She's pretty confident her cougar shifter brethren are going to swoop in for a rescue sooner or later and she's going to have to walk away from the growly hunk holding her. The longer she thinks about that, the less she likes the idea. But bears and cats don't mix, right?

Some instincts can't be denied, however, and that grumpy bear and the sassy cat keep finding their way back together. Which is EXACTLY what I'm here for so *thumbs up* all around.

Some familiar faces, a whole lot of snow, possessive instincts, and steamy kisses. Even the grumbliest of bears can't stay grumpy forever when faced with steamy kisses.
