Paranormal Series brought to life by Rebecca Zanetti. All inclusive read with witches, shifters, demons, romance and secrets. Zanetti is one author that does a complete unhurried job of taking the reader on a complete trip packed with adventure, romance, and unforgettable characters. This being the 5th in the Realm Enforcers series does not mean it cannot be read as a stand-alone. Visits are made by previous characters but the plot is all new and does not end on a frustrating cliff hanger. Bear is a cross between Teddy and Smokey. He is easy to love and quick to protect. Nessa is a witch with a secret and a goal that only Bear can help her achieve. "A copy of this book was provided to me by Kensington Books and author via NetGalley with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read and my comments here are my honest opinion."

Kudos to Rebecca Zanetti. She has combined two of my favorites-shapeshifters and motorcycle "clubs". Great job!

Who would want a sexy, grumpy, over protective bear shifter? The last person you'd expect. But for what purposes? Business or personal?

Bear is still not well no matter how much time he's spent in bear form but it doesn't stop him from going on alert when he gets to his cabin to find a witch making herself at home.

Nessa has promised Simone that she will check on Bear and try to heal him. What she didn't tell her was she also had her own agenda.

Someone is trying to kill witches with Apollo and they still have not found who it is. Bear doesn't allow Apollo on club grounds or his members to use. After all, his half- sister is a witch.

This is spellbindingly captivating, this story. The characters are phenomenal and the amazing journey they go on is nothing short of hypnotizing. I have been hooked since the beginning!

This blew all my expectations out the water.

Bear is everything I imagined and more. He's an alpha to the bone. I love the take no shit attitude he has going on. He was dominating, gruff sometimes downright rude but also utterly adorable. He surprised me throughout the story. He was extremely intelligent but hid underneath a persona of being the non sociable outcast leader. I loved that he had layers ... that every chapter you got to meet a different side to him. I just really loved his character he was everything and more.

Nessa was definitely a shock for me though. I wasn't prepared for her at all and she blew any expectations I had of her out of the water. I loved that all wasn't as it seemed she 100% had layers. She comes across prim and proper in the beginning but lord she proves everyone wrong. Strong, cunning, feisty absolutely she's all of them but she is also very sweet, quirky and utterly adorable. I really enjoyed the surprises with Her. She definitely gave the shock value and her character was great she didn't get lost underneath Bears very in your face alpha personality.

As a couple they are magnificent. Two extremely strong personalities battling for dominance throughout the story which for sure was extremely entertaining but also very intriguing. In a lot of ways they both won.they both had to make sacrifices for it to work. Both had secrets though some bigger than others and they both had to learn to be vulnerable with eachother. I loved the red hot chemistry they had... I mean honestly they set fire to the pages!. They were extremely entertaining to read I absolutely loved them as mates and I couldn't imagine them with anyone else.
The story itself was written to perfection. The author had some serious shock value going on in this book!, What a master mind she is. I loved the whole dynamic of the characters and the side characters played fantastic parts in the story really tying it all together. It had me invested from the first chapter and I just couldn't put it down.. talk about a rollercoaster of emotions.
I loved it and I cannot wait to see what this author come out with next!

Another slam dunk. I loved Nessa. Boy was she full of surprises! Bear...sigh....you can't help but have a little crush on him. Together they were one of her best couples. Great storyline. I love the common thread that runs through every book. Even better is that she never fails to bring a unique story to each book. The series is remarkable and I'm looking forward to the next book.

loved it. fast paced, great chemistry

So very good. There is witches, bears, demons, vampires and dragons. It is fast paced, edge of your seat, can't wait to see what happens next book.
Ness, a witch with healing powers, was a member of the Coven Nine Council but only until they found out who was wanting to get rid of Simone. Now that all that's been taken care of, she is on another mission, to find out who is making and distributing Apollo. She goes to grizzly territory and makes a deal with Bear, head of the grizzly nation and president of the Grizzlies Motorcycle Club. She wants to heal him in return for him to mate her.
Bear doesn't like witches or people in general. He transformed into a dragon to save his sister and is slowly dying. He allows Nessa to start healing him but not sure about mating. He knows Nessa is keeping secrets and that's one thing he want stand for.
While Nessa is there, she is almost kidnapped and someone wants her dead. Bear will do anything to protect her because she has slowly wormed her way into the grumpy shifters heart. They are getting attacked from different sides and it'll take them all working together to keep them safe.
Loved this story. Laughed, almost cried, and hated to see the ending. I love King Dage!

A big shout out to Kensington publishing and NetGalley for the free ARC for my honest review. I admit it up front I enjoy most of Rebecca's work. The chemistry between Bear/Beauregard McDunphy and Nessa is great. Who would imagine a cranky bear shifter and a witch with secrets galore would mate. This book is #5 in the series, but it reads as a stand alone. It is a fun fast paced book with a few twists! It was a pleasant read and I would recommend to all who enjoy paranormal romance. It does have alot of violence but it still comes over as a fun lighthearted read that will make you laugh. Enjoy as I certainly did.

I LOVED Bear!! Y'all seriously...this book is amazing. Realm lovers will enjoy every page and I must admit that I didn't see some of the twists coming and I love how after many many RZ books she still manages to surprise me. I do highly recommend being familiar with the Dark Protectors series(hello Talen and Dage) and the Realm Enforcers series as they have recurring characters you will love...I promise. Bear and Nessa are great together and I hope you love our antisocial Grizzly as much as I did. This was a total home run and I cannot wait for more.
