Blurb/Summary:

Justin is an elite black ops warrior on a unique shifter team. He's as deadly as they come and determined to succeed on every mission. He turns into a monster grizzly and rushes into danger without hesitation to do his duty ... but he's having second thoughts on his current assignment. If there's one thing he can't tolerate it is arrogant people like the jerks he grew up around who believed they were superior to him. Now he's stuck playing bodyguard for a Russian shifter princess. He'd rather face down a pack of armed terrorists alone than spend time with a cold-hearted prima donna. Except, Elianna turns out to be unlike anything he expected. She's sexy and strong, but more than that - she might be the mate Justin never expected to find.  He'll have to stop an assassin trying to kill him and kidnap her for any hope of keeping her.  
 
Having lived her life as an outcast among her own kind, Elianna hates being called princess. She's the ugly mistake of a Russian grizzly shifter who got her polar bear mother pregnant while on a sabbatical from his mate. With the exception of the little boy she saved after his clan abandoned him, men are the bane of Elianna's life. When she makes a miscalculation under duress, her biological father coerces Elianna into accepting a deal with high stakes if she fails.  
 
Justin is unlike the male shifters she's ever been around. He makes her want things she can't have--like mating--because the deal she struck prevents a relationship with him or she'll never see the little boy again who is everything to her. Her plan was simple and doable, but meeting Justin complicated everything.

Review:

The League of Gallize Shifters series is fantastic!  Mating A Grizzly is the second book in the series and is full of action, heartrending emotion, and fun.  I absolutely loved the language barrier between Elianna and Justin that led to some funny and dangerous circumstances.

My heart went out to Elianna and Nico which speaks to the author’s ability to bring her characters to life.  Elianna is brought to life as a courageous and loyal person that perseveres through everything. 

Dianna Love also gave us the best sort of hero in Justin.  He tries to do what’s best for everyone even if it would hurt him in some way.  He is selfless, brave, smart, and courageous.  Justin was very easy to connect and love.

Elianna and Justin pack the pages with action, adventure, and romance.  I found their banter to be quite amusing.  You do not want to miss out on this fun story. 

I received an ARC for an honest review.
