Teddy’s in shock after being kidnapped. Even more so when the shifter side that's been dormant his entire life comes to life. At least his attraction to Dallas now makes perfect sense.
Dallas knows immediately that Teddy is his mate, but he doesn't push himself on the other man. Being a soldier who barely finished high school, he doesn't think he’s much of a catch, but he's the only one who can teach Teddy how to deal with his shifter side. A side Teddy never knew he had. But Teddy's also determined to return to his life in Chicago.
Can Teddy get a handle on being a shifter? Will Dallas and his bear be able to live in Chicago? Will Teddy change his mind about returning to Paladin?
I was eager to begin this fourth installment of the series because of unanswered questions I had regarding Teddy, Dallas, and Doctor Pain, from the end of the previous novella, but then reading the blurb for 'Teddy's Bear' had me even more interested. Granted, the thought had crossed my mind that if Teddy's half brother, Roane, is a shifter, then why isn't Teddy, but the implied portion of half brother pretty much had me losing the thought. Lo and behold, I guess Teddy's shifter just hadn't kicked in yet.
Teddy's shifter kicks in all right, in a rather awesome manner, and now I know what happened to the villain. Nom. Nom. Teddy's mountain lion recognizes that Dallas is his mate, but poor Teddy needs to get acclimated to being a shifter. It's all very scary and confusing. Not to mention that Teddy's cat isn't really cooperating with him very well. *grins*
I thought it was very sweet that Dallas followed Teddy to Chicago even knowing he and his bear would be miserable, but wanting Teddy to make his own decisions and not feel forced. It helped that Teddy's mountain lion wasn't particularly happy in the city, either, so returning to Paladin where their family and friends are, made the most sense, and had both men (and beasts) happy. I'll be looking forward to Roane's story next, but until then, I'll just be content with this sweet and loving novella.
